CAT AS 4 SNAKE CHARMER
Pussy's Fascination of Deadly Ser pent Proved But Not Absolutely
 Accounted For.

Stories of fascination by snakes are common, but from India comes the opposite In an account of how a cat may exercise such hypnotic power over deadly serpent as to deprive 1t of all power of action.
 A gentleman who has lived forty-six years, as he says, in India, relates to a writer In the Field that twice his life has been saved by a cat. On one occasion. he says, he walked on to the yeranda of his house and actually trod on a cobra that was sitting up ready to strike. Expecting every in- stant to feel it's fangs, he wondered at the delay in the deadly stroke, when, glancing behind him, he saw his cat crouching and gazing intently at the reptile with mesmeric effect. which seemed to render 1t unable to move, so that he killed 1t easily.
 Another time when sleeping in cot on this veranda, he awoke to find on one side of the bed a huge cobra, with head erect, and on the other side his cat. it's glistening green eyes blaz- ing at the snake. The man crawled out of his covering. got a gun, and even poked at the cobra, which had remained as immovable as a stuffed specimen. Wishing to test the phe- nomenon, he placed his hand in front of the eyes of the cat. whereupon the snake immediately showed signs of life and activity but when the hand was removed, fell instantly into mes- merle fixity of attitude Then it was killed.
 Granting the facts, how much was the effect upon the snake due to hyp- notism. and how much to paralyzing fear of an ancient enemy, rendering 1t forgetful of everything else in It's intense watchfulness of recognized danger?

APT DESCRIPTION OF FLATS
Somewhat Mystifying to the Stranger In New York, but Are Entirely
 Appropriate.

Some of the terms used to describe apartments are mystifying to the un- initiated declares the New York Sun For instance, railroad fiat" conveys little idea to the novice until it is ex- plained that this special type of apart ment has no private hall The back door and the front door both open into the public hall. and the rooms follow one after the other, like cars on a railroad train. which accounts for the expression railroad fiat.
 box flat" is one degree up the scale, for here, while there is no en- tire length of private hall there is & sufficient slice taken from the bed. rooms so that one may walk from the parlor to the dining room without crossing the two intermediate bed rooms. The tiny hall Is boxed in, hence the name box flat.
 A walk up" speaks for itself and Is easily translated into non-elevator flat. AS matter of fact, many of the most desirable of the older apartment houses come under the head of walk ups"
 A push the button" is still another type which may apply to any of the others. It is never misleading, as it graphically describes it's mode of en. trance
 All these fine points of distinction can be gleaned from a days apart. ment hunting.

Pie, the National Dish.

Three years. ago a pie-eating con. s,,~t .o=t was held for the championship of New Jersey, relates the London Chronicle. In the United States pie Is a national dish, and the variety with which the competitors had to struggle consisted of a layer of pastry quarter of an inch thick, spread with canned fruit, the average weight being half pound. Accord ing to the report of a local journal, amid enthusiasm, thirty-fiye young men, trained to the minute, entered the contest for the championship The state record of twenty-six pies in half an hour fell during the battle. Walter Tappin of Tilsomield, N. J.. was the winner. He managed to put himself on the outside of twenty seven pies in the allotted time. For this he received the championship belt" It should have been an elastic one.

CAT AND RAT EQUAL PESTS
Former Especially Have Wrought Havoc Among the Smaller Native
 Animals of Australia.

In the Monte Bello islands domestic cats have most unfortunately been in- troduced, which do much damage amongst the wallabies, and have ex- terminated the bandicoot. The cats thrive exceedingly wherever they are introduced, growing to great size. They soon become wild and cunning, and breed fast. It may be safely said that these animals are doing more damage than anything else to the na- tive fauna of the Australian region; Indeed, the same remarks apply to the greater part of the world Cats are carried almost universally on small trading ships, with the idea that they keep down rats. When they be- come too numerous or otherwise ob- jectlonable, they are simply marooned, for to kill cat Is considered among the sailors as most unlucky.
 The black rat Is another introduced species which does great harm. The animal Is found universally over the Monte Bello group. even on the small outlying islets, which are never wis tied, on which 1t occurs most abun- dantly. It's presence Is attributed to a schooner which was wrecked some twelve years ago. for 1t Is we'll known that this rat Is good swimmer. It Is curious to find that this animal, which Is now so rare in it's native countries as to be looked upon as great curiosity, should usually be one of the first species to populate new lands where it is comparatively free from competition. Driven from all civ Ilized countries by the brown rat, it has taken to the sea. being better adapted for life on board ship than its otherwise victorious rival.-P. D.

Visitor Heard All.

Finances were in a very low condi- tion when Juliet received surprise visit from her friend Farnegie.
 You will stay to dinner, won't you?" she said.
 Why, yes; l would like 1t very much if you will have me"
 Juliet went into the kitchen to give her orders to her maid. She forgot that her visitor could hear every word-or perhaps she didn't forget. Anyhow, this conversation came to his ears;
 Mary, I want you to get up de- licious little dinner. Oyster cocktail, fish-brook trout if you can get 1t; a broiler or a spring turkey"
 "Yes, ma'am; and l had better tell the man that your banker is visiting you or else he'll be putting me off with pork chops"

Commends Election of
Uncle mike.

Opelousas, La, May 6, 1914.
To the Editor of the Clarion:
Elsewhere in your paper, I
registered a kick at Mr.. Gala
hans election as clerk Of the
Board of Aldermen.
The purpose of this commune
cation is to commend its action
for hay ng elected Mike Hal
phen Street Commissioner. No
better selection could have been
made. He is the best one we
have ever had. The only aston
ishment is, someone from AGA
dia was not pressed into service
to accept the position.
Mike had been true to his
convictions. Had opposed the
Mayor and his friends. to the last
ditch, and the marvel is, he re-
tanned his job.
Nike" I congratulate you.
The Board reflected public senti-
ment when they retained you.
They did not do so when they
went to Acadia to get a man to
fill the Office of clerk.
Yours truly,

Home Man Should Have
Been Selected.

Opelousas, La, May 6. 1914.
TO the Editor of the Clarion:
The Board of Aldermen made
a mistake when the elected Mr..
Callahan clerk. They made an
other mistake when they di-
vorced the office Of constable and
collector, thereby increasing his
salary two hundred dollars.
The first mistake charged, con-
sisted in sending to Acadia for a
gentleman to elect him for it's
clerk. This is a reflection upon
every young man in this town.
It means this city is not possess
ed of a young man with capacity
sufficient to fill this Office. In
all my life I never have witness
ed any such affront to the people
of this city.
VIII any member of the Board
of Aldermen who entered into
this arrangement, justify his
course by saying Mr.. Callahan
was the ONLY NAN to fill the
office. If not, why was he Sc
lected over such a home boy as
w. G. Perrault.
No one will pretend to say that
MI. Callahan has capacity supe-
rior to Mr.. Perrault. No one
will argue he has greater apti-
tude to learn more rapidly than
Mr.. Perrault. This latter is not
only a graduate of the Louisiana
State University, but has worked
in the assessors Office, been a
school teacher, an employee Of
the Thistlethwaite Lumber Co.,
and an all round hustler. Be
sides, he is a young man of ex-

CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

1t will be some picking when
the Congressional campaign will
start in earnest. Here in the
Seventh Congressional District
there are already five in the
race, namely: DR.. Lazaro, Leon
Locke, Alabin Vincent; P. j.
Chappuis and j. J. Robira.
The funniest part about this
campaign is the fact that four
of the candidates are figuring on
competing against the present
Incumbent; they are all of the
opinion that they will win out if
they can secure more votes than
DR.. Lazaro. Each of the four
think that the other three will
not have a ghost of a show.
Dr.. Lazaro should feel highly
complimented on the way he is
considered as a candidate for re-
election by his opponents.
If the congressional election
this year is Waged as bitterly as
it was two years ago there is no
doubt that the majority Of the
voters of the Seventh District.
would like to see the election only
every four years. Acongressman
is hardly seated in Washington
before he has to return to his
state to fight for reelection. We
suppose that DR.. Lazaro will
soon be homeWard bound to wave
his banner among the voters of
this district.

emplary habits. / merely use
him as an illustration. He de-
sired the position, why ignore
him and send to the parish OF
Acadia for a clerk?
Why divide the Office of col
lector without ascertaining il the
marshal was willing to do the
work at a similar salary as the
clerk?
Why not have said to the mar
shall: We propose to econo-
mize. We are going to reduce
the salary of the collector. If
you desire to hold this Office at
the reduced salary. we will not
divorce the Offices. II not, we
will merge it into that Of the
clerk"
But Mr.. Hayes. recommended
for the office of collector by
about ninety-seven per cent OF
the business people of this city,
is dismissed without notice and
his office turned over to the clerk
of the Board, whereby this latter
gets twelve hundred dollars per
annum.
Gentlemen Of the Board voting
for this measure, please explain
to your constituents why it is
you deprived the marshal of the
office of collector without notif-
cation you were going to do so,
! without affording him an oppor-
tunity to accept the same at the
proposed reduction. Certain it
is, had you advised the people Of
this city you were going to send
to Acadia for a gentleman to fill
the Office Of clerk, and were go
ing to raise his salary at the mar
shal's expense, you would not
have been afforded the opportu-
nifty so to do.
I voted for Mr.. Sicily every
time he ran. / induced other
to do so. I never would have
supported him, and others would
not have voted for him, had we
known he was going to act as he
did in the instant case.
The mayor is charged with
having a hand in this. | hope
not. If it is established he did,
his name will be Dennis" two
years hence.
The young men of this town
will resent the affront heaped
upon them by sending to Acadia
for a gentlemen to fill the office
of clerk of the Board of Alder
men Of this city. I am willing
to help them in any fight they
will make to this end.
Why am / educating my
grandchildren for, if when they
grow up, and offer their services
to the public, some one will sug-
gest sending to Acadia to fill the
position they aspire to, and
which they are qualified to hold.
Let US hear from you gentle
men Of the Board who voted that
way.
Yours truly.
