AN ENORMOUS AFRICAN SNAKE.

Captured After Swallowing a Small Ox, and Put into a Cage. London News. The colony es Natal, in South Africa, abounds in boa constrictors and pythons. While they dp not attack inen, they are especially destructive )f sheep, cattle and oxen, and for this reason parties are formed by hunters and natives to burn the bush and forest in order to exterminate the pests. I Some of the soldiers at Pietermaritzburg were recently informed by a party of neigboring Zulus of the whereabouts of a huge python that had been destroying their oxen'. The Soldiers, with 200 natives, started off to capture the snake, and Having located it, the forest was fired for ibout a mile roundabout, an enormous pit having been previously dug in toward the center of the inclosed space. What with the burning brush and the shouts of the excited Kaffirs, thev soon drove the reptile toward the pit, where, closing in on him, they forced him into it. The python proved to be of “normous size, being thirty-two feet iong and forty-one inches in circumference. It appeared to be quite stupid or dazed, having just eaten a voting ox that had been let into the In closure.

An enormous cage with iron bars half way down the front haying been constructed, the snake was got out of the pit and taken to Maritzburg in the cage. Here he is kept on exhibition at the barracks, and is fed twice a week, two Kaffir goats at each meal. It will not eat anything that has been already killed for it, preferring-to kill its food for itself. The goats are thrust through a s nail loor at the end of the cage a ive, when, fixing its great eyes upon them, the snake suddenly lunges forward and crushes them in its powerful folds. After covering them with 1 thick slime about an inch deep before swallowing, it flattens them out by squeezing them and then devours them almost at a gulp. After this the python goes to sleep and does not awake until it is time to be fed again. A gentleman at Maritzburg owns 1 python that has been confined in a cage for over thirteen months. During this period the snake has not eaten a mouthful of food of any kind, although every conceivable delicacy )f likely snake diet, such as frogs, birds, rats and meat, has been set to tempt its appetite its fast seems not to be broken, and the owner has at la t abandoned the idea of coaxing the colly prisoner with food. It Irinks a very small quantity of water. In a dormant state this fasting would be better understood, for In this state reptiles of this description have been known to exist for oeriods of eighteen months, or even three years.

Pech’s Queer Will.

Chicago Daily News. James Pech’s last will and testaneat, hurriedly scrawled with a ead pencil on a torn sheet of gro:er’s paper a moment before he flung aimself from the top of a lumber pile into the stagnant depths of the Chicago river, yesterday, will be inly partly carried out. The reason Is because his friends say the document affords conclusive proof that She man was insane when he wrote It. This is a copy of the paper, which the officials in the Coroner’s jftice say is one of the strangest documents of the kind ever penned: “Last will and testament of James Pech: I bid good-bye to all my Bohemian and Polish friends in C|iicairo. I bear ill will toward none. To my father in the old country I leave the sum of S2OO, and to my bride that was to be I leave the same amount. I want a lot which Town io be sold, and the proceeds expend?d in giving me the finest burial possible, I want a fine coffin. My body Didst be taken to a Roman Catholic church, and services held. After I am buried I want my grave decorated with lanterns and candles. I want little girls to come and sing on lop of it. Let there be a band of music and beer. I want a headstone that must cost SSOO. Have my last wishes carried out.”

Healthy Bark of Trees.

Meehan's Monthly. After a few years nature does her best to get rid of the external bark. Few operations are more useful in comparitively old orchard trees than to scrub or wash the bark in the winter season. Some few people think that this old bark in some way protects the trees from low temperature, but any observer may note that it is not until a branch is several years old—in the apple tree, for instance, it is ten years old before the rough bark appears, and if protection from cold be the province of old bark, the young branches would require that protection much more surely than the older and stronger portions of the tree.

NEVER INDORSE ANY MORE.

Mr. Depew Has Forty Thousand or More Reasons Why. New York Sun. Chauncey M. Depew has been associated all his life, from the very day he left Yale College, with rich men. He was one of Commodore Vanderbilt’s “boys,” and has been the intimate of the Commodore’s sonsThe Garretts, the Scotts? the Morgans and the kings of all the railroad and banking world for twenty years and more have been among Mr. Depew’s friends. AH these gentlemen have been tackled by the fellows who are proverbially “short." There is a class of borrowers who want to exchange checks—that is the borrower wants the cheek of a sound man to use immediately. and in return gives a check dated ten or more days ahead, when he expects that his own bank account will be rich enough to meet it. There is in this fraternity a set of downright swindlers, whose checks are returned with that exasperating stamp, “no funds." As Solomon said: “My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with astranger,thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.”

Solomon evidently knew something about “handshakers.” Mr. Depew has come to some conclusions also, and here they are: “Never indorse an accomodation note. If you wish to help your friend, make up you mind how much you can afford to lose and lend him that. He will consider seriously the payment of this money, while your name on his paper will not receive a second thought. If his venture is a failure and your money is gone, you will not be greatly disappointed and your compensation will be an approving conscience and the satisfaction of having done the best you could for one whose appreciation of your effort you value. But your endorsement he reyarls as a mere formality. He believes in himself and has great contempt for your fears. At each renewal of the note he will want the amount increased, or an additional note, on the plea of increasing business or opportunities. When you have become frightened at the sum for which he has made you responsible, and find that you must stop or be ruined, he will say that unless you aid him further he will be forced into bankruptcy and you will be the cause. When he fails, as he inevitably will, you find that the money raised on your notes has paid enemies and strangers who insisted on his dealing with them on business principles, and that you are his largest and perhaps sole creditor. You are crippled financially for a time, and perhaps for life, by meeting the maturing obligations which you have indorsed, and your former friend, now your bitter foe. is loudly proclaiming in his own justification that you are the author of his ruin. The result of your excursion in the caFeless lending of your name will be that you have lost both friend and fortune, and have discovered, perhaps too late, that you are a fool. I have had in greater or less degree several such experiences." It is said on good authority that Dr. Depew lost 140.000 last year by indorsing notes. He will never do it again, he says.

Art in the Occident.

Harper's Magazine. The following is said to be a ver batim account of the introduction ol an eminent violinist to a far Western audience; “Ladies and gentlemen,’’ began Col. Handy Polk, the well-known real estate agent, stepping to the front of the stage and addressing the audience, “it is my privilege tei interduce to you Signor , the notorious furrin fiddler, who will endeavor to favor us with some highclass and A No. 1 violin playin’. The signor was born and raised in Italv, where fiddlin’ is not merely a fad, but as much of a business as politics is in this country, and when it comes to handlin’the bow he knows emphatically where be is at. He hasn’t dropped into this place by accident but comes under the auspices of the Literary Society, which is payin' his wages and backin’ him to the last gasp. So let it be understood that if you happen to have any criticisms to offer, you are to do your kickin’ ,t;i the society and not to the signor. I’ll jest add that it you expect him to swing the fiddle arouud his head or play it under his leg, like we used to skip stones across the swimmin’ hole when we were little boys and girls, you may just as well go right now and git your money back from the doorkeeper, for the signor hain’t that kind of a player. That’s all I have to say at present. Start her up, signor. '*

“Have you noticed the novel scheme I’ve devised for attracting attention to my window?” said a a downtown tailor, yesterday. “You see, I take a great pride-in making a neat window display, but many people used to pass right by without taking any notice of it. Then I set my wits to work. As a result I procured some old glass, and after breaking it up in small pieces, pasted it on the inside of the store window. Now the whole pane looks as if it were cracked, ana hardly anybody passes without stopping a moment tu examine it."

Hypnotism Over the Counter.

Albany Express. “Have you ever been hypnotized tfi a dry go<ds store?” asked a woman. “I meau have you ever been baited on by clerks who absolutely force you to buy what you do not want. Let me tell you what happened to me the other morning. “I went into a store to buy a gown, and in a certain store one of those hypnotic clerks fixed me with his glittering eye and positively controlled my purchase. He mesmerized me into letting him cut me off a gown pattern I did not want; it did not suit me in color, design or texture, yet there I stood spellbound and allowed the scissors to seal my doom. A cash boy was then called to carry the purchase to the lining counter. On the way over there I emerged from my hypnotized condition and had my revenge. What do you think I did? I turned a corner, scurried through crowds of other victims, got out asidedoorand went about my business, No one in the store khew me, and I have felt better ever since. If the hyphotic ilerk had got into trouble witn the proprietor about that gown, so much the better. It will teach him not to exercise his mesmeric powers over helpless women. l> ”

Took Her at Her Word.

Detroit Tribune. She came and stood beside his chair. “Papa,” her sweet voice faltered, “he has asked me to be his wife." The old man started. “And, papa—” The girlish head drooped. “He wants to be married at once.” “My child, "he exclaimed, “it is not in my heart to stand in the way of yonr happiness. Tell your ma to lav out my dress suit while I raise a minister bv telenbpqe.".

Do You Wish the Finest Bread and Cake ? It isr conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweetest, most delicious food. The strongest baking powder makes the lightest food. That baking powder which is both purest and strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome food.

Dr. Haines, of Rush Medical College, Consulting Chemist of the Chicago Board of Health, says: “Royal is not only the purest, but the strongest baking powder with which I am acquainted.** _____

Chased the Chipmunk Down His Throat.

Chicago Herald. A very peculiar accident hapened recently to Eben White, a farmer jving about four mile northwest of Bt. Johns, Mich. He had been workjig in the woods and lay down to deep under a tree, and must have ilept with his mouth open. A common nongrel pupand a small boy were companions. While the old man ilept the boy and the dog started a t chipmunk and proceeded to chase t. That chipmunk made tracks for safety, and seeing White’s mouth >pen dodged in. It was a new sensation to White to have a chipmunk srying to get down his throat alive, tnd he woke up in a hurry. He learly choked to death before he nulled that chipmunk out, and then he killed the animal and brought it .nto town to prove the truth of the story hetells. A doctor who examined □is tht oat and mouth found it badly acerate!, and says he believes White's story is true. The outcome of a courtship nowadays s largely a quest ion of income.
