After passing through the Straits of Sundae the. five yaks on board be- gan showing signs of suffering from the heat, and went crazy one by one.
 "They couldn't do it in bunch" said Captain Grant. They had to do it one at a time in order to prolong our agony"
 About the time the last yak had been killed and cast overheard, the a pitched battle. The Hindus and others took sides in the battle and their fights were daily. features.
 Life was just one strenuous minute after another for the entire voyage, and when the Brilliant reached New York harbor, after a voyage of llo days from Hong Kong, Capt. Grant and his officers heaved sigh Of re- lief, and gave the crew permission "to go as far as they liked in knlf- ing each other, but each man would be tied hand ard foot and cast over board if they so much as made dent in the polished deck of the Brilliant.

SNAKES OVER!RUN
 BRITISH SHIP
To Add to Captains Troubles, Motley Crew Fights and Five Become
 Insane From Heat.

New York, June 18.-Two hundred deadly East Indian snakes overrun- ing the ship, five heat-crazed yaks doing everything but climb aloft, and a crew of thirty-five Lascars, Hindus and Chinese threatening every min ute to cut one another's throats-such was the combination which added ten years to the age of Captain Grant, of the Brilliant, a four -masted British bark.
 On the outward voyage the entire crew deserted at Hongkong, and the seamen signed in their place repre- sente dthe scum of the Far Eastern ports, declared the captain Most of them suffered from seasickness, and had never had any more experience than was necessary to handle row boat.
 Four boxes filled with cobras and other poisonous reptiles broke loose from their fastenings, and two hun dred snakes then had the liberty of the Brilliant. The )rientals would not go near the snakes, and Captain Grant and his officers were compelled to kill them with clubs. Snakes ap- peared from hiding places for three weeks after the boxes had been brok- en, and the crew slept in the rigging until sure the last one had been done away with.

PRESS OPINIONS
SMOkING-AND INSPIRATION.
(Albuiquerque Herald.)

Is smoking help to literary com- position? Emile Faguet, the Academi- elan, who is an inveterate smoker, thinks not. "I smoke great deal, but | do not believe that it does any good. I even think it may do harm"
 Andre Theurlet, the novelist, who alternates between pipe and cigarette. says: "1 never found that the habit has the least influence on what is commonly called inspiration"
 Pierre Loti shares his colleagues $ opinion: "As far as I have observed the use of the cigarette has no effect whatever on my faculties"
 Among smokers who are members of the French Academy, Maurice Barres is not averse to cigar, while Paul Hervieu considers the habit as vice and a weakness. Rene BaZin is also severe. "I smoke only an occa- sional cigarette but I derixe nothing from the practice but neuralgia and the unpleasant knowledge that, in con- tinuing to indulge, I surrender to a weakness, which no longer has ineX- perience a3 an excuse for it."
 In spite of the views of these dis tinguished Frenchmen of letters, we are not convinced. We recall the fact that nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand of the best edi- tors and newspaper writers we ever saw worked in conjunction with ac- tive tobacco in some form or other
 we recall that American Immortal Mark Twain, who thought he was | born smoking and died doing so. And we recall that every American of experience, when he goes to France takes his tobacco with him.
