The measure contains | several features which are certain to .' develop controversy, the principal one of which is the provision for the discon- . .tiiiuanye of the sectarian sch< ols for in- ! di.ins, including the Lincoln and Hainp- ! toil Roads institutions. There will also : be an effort in the senate to amend the bill by adding the plan agreed upon by ’ the committee on Indian affairs for changing the system of land holdings m I Indian Territory, and this Will develop ; a sharp debate.

A GOPHER AS A HYPNOTIST. • / i Held by Itw Glittering Eye, M Rabbit Awaited Certain Death. A gopher snake at Escondido has been the cause of much earnest .discussion | among local naturalists recently. The j question discussed was, "Do Snakes Cha>ni or Hypnotize Their Prey?” Oim of the naturalists had the nnusnal but fortunate experience at Escondido of happening upon a large gopher snake just as the reptile was about to overcome a trembling cotlmitail rabbit and envelop the animal in its deadly coils. For some time the naturalist watched the snake's movements. It was within th or 12 inches of the apparently fascinated rabbit. Silently and almost imp'-rcept ibly the snake Lad wormed its way nearer and nearer t-i its victim. Its eyes glistened with an ' intense brightness. Not a movement did it make which might alarm the timid rabbit. The forked tongue, wjiieh to the eye of a human being is so repulsive and intend'-d to her terrifying, appeared to exert an entirely different influence upon the mind of the innocent rabbit. This dm I ing tongue cither ex-tied the victim's curiosity or caii.-ed the animal,, to so concentrate its mind’<>n the snake's tongue as to throw that mind into a hypnotic condition of >uch strength that, it could not bunk the spoil and run away from imp'ialmg death. The forked tongue darted out of the snake’s mouth almost as regularly ami rapidly as the needle of a sewing machine rises and falls in the cloth. Thn lithe body crept nearer ami nearer. - The raßbit was motionless. Its eye was fixed on the piercing eye of the snake. Even, the waving ■ of the wind kissed shrubs, about the rabbit, failed to break the spell, and “Botfly ami slowly grrm death in snake J form wreathed its folds about the creature. Then was the spell broken. To the naturalist who watdhed the capture of the rabbit it appeared as if the snake had certainly fascinated the-; animal. As a gopher snake, is not pm-,| ‘ sonous and liasjio well-developed fangs, j its only means of killing prey is by con- ' striction. In order to catch an animal it seems almost necessary for the snake to fascinate the victim. —Wasiiington Post. HE HESITATED. Rut the I.over Discovered That IDs Objection Was a .Mistaken One.
