asnAkE HILL" HISTORIC SPOT
Eminence In New York Fortified by
HessIans During the Revolt
lutlonary Conflict.

A hill In Mount Morris park In New
York city was called SNAKE Hill"
by the Dutch when they settled New
Harlem, because it was infested with
snakes In large numbers.
During the Revolution the snakes
were dispossessed of their habitat by
British troops, who built upon the
summit Of the hill a square redoubt.
This work was garrisoned by Hes
slams. Lieut.. Charles Philip Won
Kraft, a Hessian, who had hard work
spelling local names, tells in his diary
how the "rebels" in Morrisania were
terribly bombarded from Shnek Hill'
In July, 1871. He was several times
In active command on "Shnek HIP
Snake hill was lovely little emil
ence, and when, In 1885, it was sug-
gested for park the committee OF
public lands and places of the COM
mon council described it as crowned
with various kinds of forest trees,
many Of them of great antiquity and
possessing very peculiar and distinc-
tive character" The committee also
pointed out that "its insular situation
Its great height, its conical figure
and the trees with which 1t Is covered
furnish the greatest capabilities for
converting it into a place of the great
est ornament and beauty and which
will be locked upon with pride and
admiration by our successors"

EXPLAINS LACK OF COURTESY
According to Writer, Various Forms
OF Fear Are Responsible for
Its Absence.

The finest courtesy is that which
comes from the spontaneous NANTES
tation Of good will, says a writer in
he Montreal Family Herald. Yet
oie@a people who feel good will toward
others are not notable for courtesy.
when there is any failure in courtesy
ii can almost invariably be ascribed
to fear. Perhaps the person is afraid
Of assuming too much Importance aud
Of appearing egotistical and therefore
turks In the background when he
should come forward. Perhaps he
fears that some one will think he is
trying to curry favor, and therefore
he is so distantly polite as almost to
be rude. Perhaps his good will is so
mingled with admiration as to make
him awkward and embarrassed; the
fear Of being regarded as commonplace
and unimportant as he cannot help
knowing himself to be prevents him
from showing proper courtesy. Or, on
the other hand, the fear that courtesy
will be assertive. overbearing or true
ulent.
Fear is the great enemy to happi-
ness and accomplishment. One of the
most effective ways in which fear
works is through curbing or suppress
ing the courteous manners and actions
that, If 1t were not established in a
position of authority, would display
themselves as the natural pynrpSSiOu
of the heart.

EARLY DAYS OF RAILR0ADlNG
Primitive Methods Of New Means
of Transportation.

Edward Noble Vallandigham, in his
book, Delaware and the Eastern
Shore" gives an interesting sidelight
on railroading in 1888. In a chapter
dealing with transportation between
the Delaware river and the Chesa-
peake bay, he says, according TO the
indianapolis News: Steamboats, soon
replaced the sailing packets. but it was
not until 1888, after years of legisla-
tien In both states, that the New Cas-
tie s Frenchtown railroad, traces Of
which stin show In green bits of enl-
bankmeat improved the land route. A
primitive locomotive engine, imported
Ifam England, was with difficulty tInk-
cred Into going order to draw tiny
coaches on the rails OF strap iron,
pegged to wooden sleepers, which In
turn we're pegged to stones set deep
In the ground. The speed of ten miles
an hour was held to be perilous. Bas-

TRAIT. THE EARS TO LISTEN
Only in That Way, It Is Asserted,
Are They Enabled to Do Their
Work Thoroughly.

1t may seem strange to emphasize
the fact thatwe have to learn to lis
ten; yet it is certainly true that our
ears must be trained if we desire them
to do their work thoroughly.
Especially does this apply where
music is concerned. A love of music
is an instructive possession of most
people, but complete understanding
of it is quite another matter, and il
is knowledge that can only be ac-
CURED as a result of definite study.
st must be remembered that our
eyes, ears and other organs are but
the means by which impressions are
conveyed to the brain, and unless
those organs function efficiently the
Impressions are not true and com,
plete." So states a writer.
''Just as mankind learns to appre.
cfate fine work in painting, a flow
of sOAorOus words in a poem and
beautiful lines in a piece of archftec-
ture, so can the ear be trained to
carry to the brain, wildly and ex-
actly, choice passages of music the
writer continues, and he points out
that half the beauty in music is
missed when the ear does not "real
ize" the tones which comprise the
complete harmony.
AS evidence of unframed listening
the fact is quoted that when listening
TO vocal record most people pay sc
much attention to the words and the
tune" that when the record is fin

WHEN THE WORLD WAS YOUNG

the country became known for its
