Jersey Trees Full of Snakes.

In the American Magazine is an ac-
count of a keen nature photographer
who has confined his activities to New
Jersey and eastern New York.
"One day, with a boy comrade, he
was walking through the woods, and
they were startled by the sight of a
congregation of black snakes, which
disappeared IS if by magic. The boys
hunted among the bushes until they
We're attracted by the sight Of one

son in the method by which snakes
hide themselves and hoodwink their
pursuers.

$4,000 FOR CARE OF POODLE
Woman Sues the Estate of the late
Mrs. Frank Leslie for
Large Sum.

Charleston, s. Care of a pet dog
will cost the estate of the late Mrs.
Frank Leslie, widow of the publisher,
$4,000, if the suit instituted by Miss
Anna s. Simons of this city is sue
cessful.
Mrs. Leslie left the bulk of her
$1,S00,000 estate to suffrage, but she
also bequeathed $4,000 to Miss Sim
ons for services to her pet poodle.
This the Charleston girl spurns and
insists that the trouble she has to
undergo for the sake of the dog is
worth at least $4,000. On one oc-
casion, Miss Simons says, she was
abused by Mrs. Leslie because she
refused to take the dog out for ex
ercise on Broadway while dressed only
in a kimono. She claims she was
forced to take the pet out while clad
simply in a kimono and a %raincoat.

A Model Man.

Adam, the first, was a man of low
able disposition. and a model husband,
so l am informed by the recorders Of
early events. Never once in the recO-
lection of his biographers did he speak
i'll of his beloved soulmate in the pres
ence of human company, and according
to those who were able to know all
his private affairs he never kicked on
her cooking nor growled at her house
work.
Whether she wore her gowns high
cut or low in the neck was a matter
of little or no concern to him so long
as she was respectfully attired in the
fashion of the period. And when she
got fired from the Palm Garden for
nibbling apples without someone's con-
sent Adam did not sneak off to Reno,
as husbands do today, to apply for a
divorce. No. He cast aside his over
alls, threw up his job and went out
with the little lady like a little man.
That's the kind of a sparerib he was |!

the purpose of permitting doctors OF
osteopathy to enter examinations for
commissions in the medical branch
of the army and navy. Mr.. Smith sees
no reason why that school of medicine

believes that if its followers demon
strate their ability in the examina-

FROZEN EGGS FROM CHINA
Millions of Them Reach United
States by Way of Pacific
Coast.

Seattle, Wash.-Frozen eggs, ship
ped from China without shells, are
helping combat the high cost of living
on the Pacific coast and throughout
the middle West.
In the ports of Seattle and San
Francisco 34,50O,O00 eggs arrive annu-
ally in tin cans containing 10 to 30
pounds each. One egg weighs two
ounces.
A. L. Knisley of the United States
food laboratory here says that a much
smaller percentage of bad eggs are
found in these shipments from China
than in the local commodity.
Two companies-one English and
one American-shell, pack and freeze
the eggs in China.
The eggs cost at least one-third less
than locals, it is said, because of the
smaller cost of production-not on the
part of the hens-but of laborers who
gather, pack and distribute them.

The Red Cross ambulance which
has been provided by the employees
of the Senate. through the donation
by each of a days pay, has arrived
and will be shipped TO France at once
to enter upon its work of mercy. II
has been placed IN exhibition at the
foot of the steps of the Senate wing
of the Capitol. where it has received
the careful inspection of the con
trfbutors to the fund for its purchase.
1t is not a thing of beauty being dull
gray in color. with no ornamentation
whatever. but the design of the m
bulance has already proved its eff
cheney in actual service. and the new
addition to our hospital corps abroad
viii well repay the sacrifice which
its purchase entailed.

WAR GOVERNMENT

The announcement that Secretary
Redfeld is to be the head of the ex-
port council does not encourage the
hope that Mr.. Wilson has gained any
clearer sense of the weakness of his
official family or has any intention OF
Strengthening it. Secretary Redfield,
as Chicago had occasion to feel acute
ly at the time of the Eastland disaster,
is not the sort of man to be entrusted
with a service in which tact and sound
Judgment are requisite. The export
council, which will have to pass upon
the claims of neutrals for the supply
of necessaries, has one of the most
difficult and delicate tasks arising out
of our present relations and RESPONSE
bilities. Serious injury will be done
to our cause and to our commercial
future by laundering. Secretary Red
field has shown himself to be of small
caliber, yet opinionated and lacking
in of proportion. His attitude
toward the Eastland tragedy was that
of a stubborn b~ureaucrat. and it was
aggravated by an offensive and unfeel-
ing levity.
The Department. of Commerce an
nounces through the official bulletin
that lin due time an advisory board
will be named of high-class men OF
recognized ability" This statement
provides about all the comfort to DC
derived from the situation, and we
hope the due time" will be brief and
the personnel of the board of the
quality promised. But even though
this be the case, the desirability OF
a general overhauling of the Cabinet
remains.-IChicago Tribune.

TOBACCO FOR

Two bills that will meet with the
hearty approval of thousands of men
in the army and navy have been in
troduced by Congressman Norman j
Gould OF New York. They provide
that the rations of the army, navy,
and marine corps, shall be increased
by the addition of sixteen ounces OF
tobacco per month. In Mr.. Gould's
opinion this small quantity of tobacco
will do no harm to the men, but, on
the contrary. furnish needed comfort
in the trials through which they will
have TO pass in the near future. The
bills have been referred to the mill
tary and naval committees. and Mr..
Gould will exert himself to obtain 4
favorable report en- them.

FAIRNESS TO
HONEST TRADERS

Congressman Richard Wayne Par
ker of New Jersey, while thoroughly
in sympathy with the purpose of the
trading with the enemy" bill, believes
it should not interfere with the bust
ness of an honest man with German
connections who may be living in a
neutral country. With that thought
in mind Mr.. Parker secured the adop-
ton of an amendment which provides
that a man shall be considered an
enemy only when he does business
with Germany. The fairness of Mr..
Parker's proposition was so evident
to the House that il Fas accepted
without a word of objecdon.
