AMIABLE ENEMIES.
Our Rattlesnake* Are 8ociable, but
Extremely Conceited.
The American rattlesnake is real
ly one of the most human of living
creatures, says Professor Manley,
an English naturalist of wide re
pute. He is a sociable, amiable
enemy. Hut he is also extremely
conceited. He knows that he pos
sesses a death dealing power and
is consequently of the opinion that
because of this be should be con
sidered the terror of the wilderness.
Other animals understand perfectly
how he regards himself, the “bad
man” of the region, and they recog
nize bis terrible power. For this
reason they have had to study his
limitations, which he in his egotism
is blind to.
1 he rattlesnake gets irascible on
occasions, Professor Manley goes on
to say. lie becomes most cross when
his vanity has been wounded. But
lie rarely bites a human being ex
cept when lie is of the opinion that
his own personal safety requires it.
Neither does lie go out hunting
trouble. His social instincts lead
him to seek the same comforts with
which men surround themselves,
and if men would only leave him
alone lie would not object to their
company at all.
I)ogs are perhaps the most dan
gerous enemy the haughty rattler
has to face. Together with hogs
they are the only species of ani
mal that are almost entirely im
mune to the venom of the rattler.
| Oftentimes a shepherd dog will
come out badly bitten and used up
from his first encounter with a rat
tler and have to be taken care of
for days by his master. Afterward,
though, he bec'omes wiser and in
duo time develops into an adept at
the art of killing his enemy.
The cat is by far the.cleverest of
all at playing with the rattler and
outwitting him at his own game.
He seems to be aware, too, that puss
is making fun of him, and she
therefore succeeds in working him
up into a terrible rage. She has
no trouble at all in inducing the
snake to coil, and then she cautious
ly stretches out a forepaw in his di
rection. Tie becomes furious and
strikes, but her paw is not there, for
of the two the cat is infinitely the
quicker.
Coyotes are much the same in
their dealings with their common
enemy, playing on the weaknesses
of the snake for their own pleasure
for long lengths of time. Horses
are not nearly so clever or wise in
their dealings. Of course one rear
ed on the range will avoid a rattler
ns a mule avoids work, and at the
dread sound of the rattles will leap
and shv. Eastern horses taken west
do not know so much at first, though
Ihev speedilv learn.
There seems apparently no uni
formity in the rattling. Tf the
snake is in a had humor he will rat
tle even when there is no sign of
an enemy about. Hsuallv. however,
he will not rattle unless he is great
lv concerned. — Springfield Repub
lican.
Digging For Pipe Bowls.
Meerschaum is extracted in pre
cisely the same way as coal, fits
from twenty-five feet to 125 feet
deep are dug, and as soon as the
vein is struck horizontal galleries,
sometimes of considerable length,
are made, though more than two
galleries are seldom to be found in
one pit. When taken out of the
mine meerschaum is soft enough
to be easily cut with a knife. It is
embedded in a layer of red clay sev
eral inches thick, and in this state
it is sold to the dealers.—London
Globe.
Who Invented Chess?
The honor of inventing chess has
been claimed by at least fourteen
nations, and a variety of famous
persons have been mentioned as
sole iftvcntor, ranging from Japheth
and Shorn to King Solomon and
Aristotle. It is, however, generally
agreed that Europe got the game
from the Arabic, “checkmate” be
ing a corruption of “Shah mat”
(“the kiiig is dead”). — London
Chronicle.
Capacity For Worry.
“L see you're borrowing trouble
again. What’s the matter now?”
“I was just thinking,” she said, i
“that our little Beatrice may grow
up and become a grand opera singer
and have to support a husband who
will not be worthy of her.”
“Come. Let’s look over this
month’s bills and have something
real to worry about.” — Chicago
Itecord-Herald.
Lika a Hole In the Water.
We cannot too soon convince our
selves how easily we may he dis

that we alone are the life of the
circle in which we move. In our al>

to a general pause, and, alas, the gap
that we leave is scarcely perceptible,
so quickly is it filled 1
TRAVELING IN LAPLAND.
Trip* on Roindeor Sledge* Are at
Times Journeys to Death.
Concerning the experience one
undergoes while traveling in a Lap
land sledge a writer says: “The Lap
lander’s pulka is a very curious con
veyance. It is a canoe shaped wood
en sledge and very difficult to
manipulate. Before a Lapp can
take a drive the reindeer has to be
caught. Harnessing is a strenuous
performance, as the creature is
usually wild with fright and plunges
and kicks considerably. His har
ness consists of a belt made of the
skin of some former brother or
friend, one rein, which is fastened
around his nose, and the pulka is
attached and drawn by means of a
single trace. They evidently find
it a very difficult task to drive. In
fact, the reindeer always appears to
go where, when and how he pleases.
The Lapp hangs on to the poor, un
fortunate animal’s neck while his
passenger scrambles in. This is
generally a somewhat hasty per
formance and usually only half per
formed when, with a wild whoop,
the little Lapp hurls himself on to
the front of the sledge, the reindeer
makes a wild plunge, and the mad
rush begins.
“In and out the poor, wild crea
ture dashes, as if to free himself
from the hindering encumbrance
which continually chafes him, first
on one side and then on the other.
If driver and passenger are skillful
in the art of tobogganing and man
age to remain in the pulka the
reindeer soon decides that his bur
den is not to he got rid of, and he
settles down into a more or less
steady stride, and then the sensa
tion is delightful and like nothing
else on earth. They are very fleet
animals and appear to fly. Their
feet, being somewhat after the pat
tern of the camel, splay out on the
snow, and thus they arc enabled to
travel at great speed and tremen
dous distances without fatigue.
“Owing to its shape the pulka is
very liable to upset, even with ex
port driving, and when the acci
dent occurs the driver has to he
careful not to let the one rein go or
else woe betide him. Away goes the
reindeer with his sledge, and noth
ing will stop him till he reaches
his herd, while, should the unfortu
nate driver find himself far from
his companions, there is nothing for
him to do hut face starvation and a
frozen grave amid the snow. Acci
denis like these are quite usual, hut
i it has not occurred to the Lapp to
alter either the method of harness
ing or driving or the shape of the
sledge.”-—Chicago Xews.
Died on the Way.
A certain Kalin", having been
down lo the coast tor the first time
in his life, returned to his home
with wonderful tales about the sea.
lie explained to his tribe that the
Witters of the sea were alive—they
moved—jumped—splashed.
“1 have brought some hack in a
bottle to show you,” he said.
A whole crowd of Kallirs congre
gated to see this wonder. However,
when the water was poured into a
bowl the traveler was distressed
to find that it did not move at all.
After examining it carefully he
turned to the crowd with a sorrow
ful face. “It has died during the
journey,” he said.—Christian Ob
server.
Diplomatic Decision.
One day while walking with a
friend in San Francisco the pro
fessor of a well known university
and his companion became involved
in an argument as to which was
the handsomer man of the two.
.Not being able to arrive at a settle
ment of the question, they agreed
in a spirit of fun to leave it to
the decision of a Chinaman who was
seen approaching them. The mat
ter being laid before him, the ori
ental then considered long and care
fully; then he announced in a tone
of finality, “Both are worse.”
Writer*, Not Linguists.
The late M. Rochefort was asked
one day if during his periods of
exile in England ho had learned to
speak English.
“No,” he replied.
“But you could have done so?” he
was asked.
“Yes, but I did not want to.”
“Why?”
“Because' Victor Hugo forbade
me to. He said to me one day: ‘We
writers must not learn foreign lan
guages. Such knowledge makes us
run the risk of changing the purity
of our own tongue.’ ”
Different.
“You will marry a tall blond man,
who will make you very happy,”
said the seeress.
“But I have never seen a tall
blond man that I cared for,” replied
the lady who was having her for
tune toid.
“Hr will have lots of money.”
“Oh, how soon am 1 to meet
him?”—Chicago Record-Herald.
