A SNAKE RANCH.
Thing* ,0 Be Keen In a Phllt*
delphla Tobacco Hlore.
There U a iinake ranob lo operation
In one of the moat densely populated
parta of thin city. The bualneaa la a
very tangible ami profitable enterprise,
even though Its proprietor does not dis-
play his stork In his store window and
shrinks modestly from public observa-
tion.
The ranch occupies a smnll room In
the rear of a cigar and tobacco store on
North Mecond street. The shop Is au
oddity In Itself, for the show cases and
merchandise block the tlnor space aud
mount almost to the celling In pictur-
esque confusion. The proprietor and
snake rancher does a big business In
snuff, and the stoneware Jars contain-
ing this preparation stand above the
counters ami shelves In company with
sundry glass receptacles in which a
two-headed pig, eight-legged kitten
and similar dime museum monstrosi-
ties are preserved In alcohol. Could
the laliorers and old women who have
black plug tobacco and pungent snulT
dealt out to them by the pound sudden-
ly catch sight of the mass of squirming,
writhing reptiles within a few feet of
them they would take to their heels.
The ranchero takes the whole matter
In a cool, businesslike way. Snakes
are no more to him than yards of rib-
bon to a saleswoman In one of the big
shops. Indeed, he displays with con-
siderable pride the length and graceful
twisting and curling of Ills stock In
trade and treasures up the shining, pli-
able nnacomla skins which lie in stor-
age among Ills tobacco bales. A living
snake to him means n sum of money
ranging from several dollars for the
smallest specimen to f.'« 0 for an eight-
een-foot boa constrictor, the prices for
intermediate reptiles graded on a scalo
of so much per foot. He Is n short,
stout, good-natured man of middle age.
who will tell the laymen many facts
about his trade In an off-hand way, but
who preserves many of the secrets of
his business as carefully as does a corn
doctor the Ingredients of his nostrum.
His profits nre derived from collecting
the snnkes at bargains, training them,
and disposing of them to "profession-
al" exhibitors and snake charmers.
Imciium Western farmers' crop Is good,
and what is not the best la mostly b«-
lng fed by themselves.
"You may think wheat alone will be
too rich, but try It carefully. Give a
horse half ns much by measure as of
oats. Mix wheat meal with cut straw
for cows ami hogs. Perhaps boat re-
sults will lie obtained by soaking the
wheat before feeding or crushing."
Why Old Violins Are Rest.
Fabulous prices are sometimes paid
for old violins, ai d ninny an enthusias-
tic musician would part with his last
dollar to possess one of the master-
pieces of Stradlvarlus, or (iuarnerlus.
or another of the famous makers of a
century or two ago.
The unquestioned superiority of theso
old, and often battered, Instruments
has been variously ascribed to the pe-
culiar quality of the varnish used In
their construction, to the elasticity of
the wood employed, and to the ripening
and Improving effects of age aud long
use.
But nt last summer's meeting of tb"
American Association for the Advance-
ment of Science reasons were shown
for believing that the real cause of the
superiority of the old Instruments Is
due to a "peculiar warping of the wood
to a higher arch, a buckling caused by
the position1 of the K holes anil sound-
post."
It might be thought that the same ef-
fect could be produced by giving nn
equal arching to a new Instrument, hut
the effect, If attained, is not permanent
because with age the arching Increases
until too great a degree of rigidity Is
the result.
The substitution of aluminum for
wood In the making of violins bus been
suggested bivause experiment has
shown that soundboards of aluminum
resemble in tone those ufflde of wood,
and that an Aluminum violin does not
undergo changes of form with age, so
that It can be made perfect to begin
wltli and will remain In that condition.
An Oregon llomancr.
A remarkable romance Iti real life has
Just lieeu rounded off In Oregon. About
twenty-nine years ago James Hard
went to work for a farmer named Arn-
old. In Jackson County, Oregon, and a
few months later married Arnold's
stepdaughter. Soon after trouble arose
lH>tueeti the two men. Arnold took his
daughter away from Hard, ami when
Hard went after her the two men
quarreled, and the result was Arnold

CATCHING FROGS IN WINTER.
The Profesxionul Does Not Quit Hiisl-
111*mm When the Frogs llo.
The frogs will not lie eatlug much
longer now. Many of them have
already eaten a good hearty meal nnil
gone to the bottom for their winter's
sleep. They will lie there until May.
The llrst thunder storm In May always
brings them up agnln, good nnd hun-
gry, ready to eat the lirst bug or Insect
they get their blinking eyes upon.
Although the frogs are out of sight
In winter I do not stop my work. Karly
in October I go all over the ground
anil make note of where they nre set-
tling. Then I have comparatively lit-
tle trouble In getting them. I use n
"hurdy-gurdy," or combination rake
aud net on the end of a long pole. The
rake is to clear away the rubbish In
the bottom of the ditch, and at the
same sweep the nets pick up the frogs,
If there are nny there. I get more In
the winter than I do In warm weather,
because they nre In a torpid state and
can't get away so fast.
The catch varies. Some days I get
five dozen, often lifteen dozen. I guess
I catch on an average ten dozen n day.
It is no trouble to sell them. One game
(lealei takes nearly all I catch. I sell
a good many live frogs to students for
experimenting pu'p ise« I hIko supply
several private families. — Philadel-
phia Times.
The Arali nt Home.
I r. J. P. Peters was the manager of
the expedition sent out by the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania In 1888 to explore
tile ruins of liaiiylou. "During the
two years I was there," said he, "I
lived with many of the wild tribes
around the marshes of Arablstan. The
conditions In which I found them were
most deplorable. They were a most
depraved race, robbing, cheating, lying,
and lighting being the daily routine of
their existence. The prlnclpnl diet of
these people Is half-cooked barley
bread, and with a large percentage of
the tribes this forms the sole diet.
When I offered 12 cents a day for dig-
gers and guards, I had half the popula-
tion applying to me for work, and waa
forced to reduce the day's wages to 10
cents. When one of these men has a
headache, his friends burn him with
reilhot Irons, and many times I have
seen wounds carefully filled with Iron
rust. Their government, or rather lack
of government, Is a practical exhibition
of anarchy."
A. GREAT GAME PARK.
Tkat of Railroad Prealdent Corbla la
tke Htate of New Hamnaklr .
A car attached to aa aaat bouad
facial which passed through last even-
ing was loaded with a small band of
antelope, says the 1 .aramie llepubli-
can. The usual feature connected with
the consignment was that the greater
Itfrtlon of the nnlmals were young-
sters, prolmbly two months old. They
were captured In the northern part of
| this State und were en route to New
I Hampshire, where they would be
turned loose In the most famous game
park in this country, if not in the
world, now the sole property of the
( President of the Long Island Rail-
road.
1 Mr. Corbin. for whom the nnlmals
were purchased, Is the owner of what
Is now acknowledged to be the great-
est game park in the country. Among
the preserves are a nutnlier of Wyo-
ming elk, shipped by Col. William
lloot, of this city, about three years
ago. They are said to have flourished
splendidly, as in fact have all other
niiliiinls taken from the Rocky moun-
tains save the antelope.
Mr. llucklnghnm, who was In
I churge of the cur, has been In Mr.
Corbln's service for the Inst two years,
mid gave an Interesting account of
what Is a rival to the Yellowstone na-
tional park In n small way.
He stated that Mr. Corbin stnrteil In
seven years ago by fencing in 5,<k)0
acres of forest innil in New Hamp-
shire. Since then he has been gradu-
ally buying up more ground nnd mill-
ing to It, until at the present time he
has nearly 30,000 acres inclosed with
barlied wire fence twelve feet high.
Five years ago Mr. Corbin started
In the animal business by turning into
Ills pnrk 120 deer, 150 elk, twenty
moose, thirty nntelope, fifteen wild
boars, about twenty buffaloes, and a
few reludeer. The reindeer nnil the
nntelope were the only nnlmals that
failed to thrive, and the Increase In
some of the other species has been
marvelous. It Is estimated thnt the
deer and elk now number 1,000 head,
the wild boars 350. and the buffnloes
sixty head. Mr. Buckingham stated
that his special charge are the buf-
faloes. During the whiter the buffa
loes nre handled like cattle and fed
In corrals. The other animals are
proving self-sustaining the year
nround.
This year the park will lie stocked
with Kocky Mountain sheep. A rather
curious experiment which will be tried
this season will be an attempt to cross
the elk with a herd of European red
deer. If successful, the result will ls>
a mngnlllcent animal. The only lnrgc
animals which Mr. Corbin has In-
dulged In the sport of shooting have
been a few particularly ferocious stags
nnd some of the wild boars.
Shark l.ore from Hawaii.
A tiger shark was caught recently off
I the coast of Maul, near Kaaunpall. In
i side It were eighteen little sliurks nbout
two feet long. This oviparous char-
acteristic of some species of sharks
has probably given rise to many of the
Hawaiian superstitions nlsnit these
monsters of the sea. Some years ago n
monster female shark was caught near
the Island of Kauai. Inside of her
i were found fifty-two young sharks. It
is not known to many that the terrible
teeth of the shark are flexible and nt
j the will of the fish lie flat In rows, so
| that no teeth arc appnrcnt. As It ap-
pears that the female protects her
: young by opening her mouth nnd per-
I mitting them to run Into her body, it
is evident thnt the (tower to lay the
teeth down on a Hat surface is a provis-
1 Ion of nature hy which the youtig
sharks can lie taken in nnil out of thu
Isidy without being Injured by the
teeth.—Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
