TRADE IN REPTILES.
The trade In snake skins does not at
first thought suggest Itself as one re-
quiring large capital or very compll- j
rated organization, at least in this
country. But in the far east things
are different, says the Boston Herald.
The Java Reptile Skin Company has
been Incorporated In the island of
that name, with a capital of $40,000.
Branches will be established in a num-
ber of places throughout the island,
where live snakes will be purchased
from native hunters. Great stress is
placed upon buying the reptiles alive,
since the skin Is much more valuable
if the snake is skinned while yet alive.
Live snakes 12 to 18 feet in length
bring good prices; while dead snakes
are a drug in the market. The woman
who wears with pride a daintily bound
snake skin card case will probably not
give a thought to the fact that the ma-
terial was stripped from a living
snake. Ever since the episode in
Eden some few thousands of years ago
snakofe have apparently had no rlgh\
to having their feelings considered.

WILD STEER LOOSE III
STREETS OF NEW YORK
HE INVADES A SHOP, SCATTERS
A CROWD, AND IS FINALLY
ROPED AND CAUGHT.
New York.—The story of the bull
in a china shop was practically retold
with variations the other afternoon,
when a steer escaped from the stock-
yards at Fortieth street and North
river, and in a rnad race through the
streets in the vicinity dashed into a
store, knocked down a policeman and
tossed a man Into a crockery shop be-
fore the frenzied animal was cap-
tured.
The wild antics of the steer on re-
gaining its freedom as it galloped
along Fortieth street to Tenth avenue,
caused a scramble of women and chil-
dren for safety.
When the steer reached the store
of Demarest & Ureckman, it dashed
Statesmen in America realize, says
the Spectator, “that It would be little
Bhort of a national disaster if the com-
mand of the sea were lost by Britain
and were to pass into German hands."
The English, we are told, are our
silent partners in the Monroe doc- ;
trine, which a Germany that ruled the
sea would not respect. But what dan-
ger Is there of German's ruling the ,
sea? Her navy is not yot half as
strong as the British, says the New ;
York World. No foreign army has \
brought war to English soil for 800 ,
years. The German emperor has done |
some warlike talking, but Germany
has kept peace for nearly forty years.
The present frantic condition of Brit-
ish nerves is pitiful. It is, as Dr. But-
ler told the Mohonk peace conference
last week, “the greatest present ob-
stacle to the limitation of armaments
and the chief menace to peace."
The Chicago Judge who held the
other day that a woman who has ob-
tained a decree of divorce and has not
remarried is entitled to alimony when-
ever her former husband becomes
capable of paying it, delay in making
the claim being no bar, may start
other proceedings of the same sort,
for lawyers generally approve of the
decision as good law. Of course where
a woman has accepted a stipulated ali-
mony at the time of the divorce she
is bound by her stipulation. But the
man whose wife Is glad enough to get
rid of him without asking for alimony,
and who has since acquired wealth,
even if he has married again and
raised a second family, will now be
worried by the bugaboo that “heavy,
heavy hangs over his head.” Perhaps
the situation may incite good conduct
which in some cases will avoid provo-
cation for divorce.
The passing of the cowboy, like that
of the Indian, is a loss to the pictur-
esque in the life of the west; but it
means a gain to civilization, says the
Washington Herald. The Indian dis-
appears in tradition more squalid than
poetic; but the white cowboy, with
•the energy of his race, becomes him-
self a producer Instead of a mere
herder, of wealth. The change is a
gain also to the consumer, for not only
Is the labor cost of the product les-
sened, but the living animal reaches
the abattoir comparatively fresh from
the grazing land, without the necessity
of refattening at the end of a long, ex-
hausting march.
An object of unusual interest to resi-
dents and visitors In Trey, a “Bteeple
Jack" has for several weeks past been
swinging dally about the steeples of
SL Joseph's Provincial seminary, the
famous “Towers of Troy,” as they have
come to be called, occupied, with as
much nonchalance as though on terra
flrma, In the task of making extensive
repairs to those steeples and placing
an eight-foot glided cross on each of
the four spires. The "Towers of Troy,”
from their elevated position on the
crest of the hill overlooking the cen-
ter of the city, form a landmark .-aslly
recognized for many miles in all direc-
tions, and like stalwart sentinels they
have stood guard over the busy com-
mercial section of the city below these
30 years or more.
Weakened by age, a high wind sev-
eral months ago carried away the
pinnacle of one of the spires and drew
attention to a general weakening of
the others, so the Sisters of St. Jo-
seph. who hold the seminary property,
recently awarded a contract for
strengthening the steeples and placing
a large gilded cross upon each. George
Ferguson of Albany, a famous “steeple
Jack." was selected for the hazardous
andertaktng, and for the Inst six
weeks he has been engaged with two
assistants In performing the work.
A few minutes of observation of the
painstaking, methodical movements of
the “steeple Jack" Is sufficient to con
Vince the observer that his is no easy
task Beside being a sort of mechan-
ical engineer, the "steeple Jack,” to
be a success, roust be a master of sev-
eral trades. To observe a man seated
In his boatswain's chair anchored
against the side of a spire may give
the impression that the work is easy,
but imagine standing In a loop of rope
and sawing off a section of tower
above one's head weighing nearly half
a ton. Yet that was what was done
on these towers. The old flnlal orna-
ments, placed at the top of the spires
when the building was erected back
in the '70's as a Methodist university,
were each 14 feet high and nearly
four feet In diameter, and In their de-
cayed condition considerable skill was
required to prevent them falling the
wrong way and causing damage to the
building
Mr. Ferguson declares that the only
part of the work which may be called
easy is the actual climbing. This Is ac-
complished in a novel manner, tor the
steeples, rising 75 or more feet In the
t/ACM AT WORK
air, present nothing upon which a hold
may be secured, and yet he climbs
without scaffolding. Patiently — it
may seem tediously—the steeple is
climbed by means of two ropes se-
curely wound around the lower, leav-
ing a loop to slip over the body. Al-
ternating from the lower to the upper
loop, similar to hitching up a pole, the
"steeple Jack” gradually works up to
the very top, carrying tackle and
swing-chair, frbm which he proceeds
to repair or paint as required.
Mr. Ferguson Inherited his profes-
sion ol steeple-climbing from his fa-
ther. who followed that business for
more than 32 years, climbing the high-
est spires throughout the eastern
states and finally meeting his end by a
fall of 30 feet at the Albany peniten-
tiary building In 1891. A decayed wall,
capped by stone, gave way while he
was painting it, and he was killed in-
stantly. The son was nerving at the
time ns an apprentice in the navy, a
calling which presents some similar
situations, and when he received bis
discharge in 1892 be succeeded to his
father's business. Of modest but
Jovial disposition, he credits the fact
thnt he has had no accidents to his
athletic build and temperate habits,
for, as he strongly declares, drinking
intoxicants and steeple-climbing “do
not mix."

RURAL AUCTIONEER
DREADED CHARACTER
Last Act of Tragedy It Where He Playt the Leadiug Part-Novel
Sights on the Day of the Sale as Old Farm It Delivered
Into the Hindi of Strangers.
One college professor having de-
clared that he can signal Mars, an-
other one is convinced that he can
talk to that planet by means of an ar-
tificially constructed rarefied atmos-
phere. But, even If the last dream Is
realized, experiment may get another
drawback by the discovery that ttaq
Martian language may be something
on the order of Volapuk or Esperanto.
A man drank two quarts of whisky
In two hours In Philadelphia to win a,
bet of one dollar. He will drink no
more, and his executors doubt whether
the dollar will go far toward paying
funeral expenses.
A Massachusetts man shot a deer
feeding in his strawberry patch. Any
deer that would attempt to feed In
Massachusetts strawberry patch at
this season of the year ought to be
shot.
A contemporary suggests the return
of his poll tax to every man who goes
to the polls and votes. The ballot box
Is better off without than with the
vote of a man who has to be paid to
SO to the polls.
Persistent violators of the speed
taws should, after a certain number oi
offenses, have their licenses taken
from them. A fine to such Is merely
• part of tbs necessary running ex-
penses and Is no protection to the pub-
lic from their recklessness.
The most conspicuous character In
the last act of the bumble tragedy
of the abandoned farm is very often
the rural auctioneer. Bays Collier's. He
it Is who rings the curtain down wild
careless quip and boisterous Jest Per
bnps his burly presence has been
menacing the household through long
years of gripping struggle with ad
versify. The land has been becom
ing poorer, the ambitious men of the
family have gone away to seek their
fortunes elsewhere, and on the heels
of misfortune has followed the chat-
tel mortgage. Unsung heroism, in-
credible economies, toll unceasing,
have not sufficed to check the steady
decadence of the farm and Its af-
fairs. Some day, when the ultimate
disaster can no longer be held at
arm's longth, a printed bill, announc-
ing the sale at auction of stock, toois,
and household, is posted in the vil-
lage store and the postoffice.
The idlers scan the bill with curt
oua interest, but with no marked
symptoms of surprise. The auction
baa been a foregone conclusion tor
some time. The storekeeper remarks
to bis leisurely customers:
“Old Jonathan Woodman has been
livin' alone on the farm for yeara and
years. He's the last of ’em. All
petered ouL ain't they? He'a going to
live with bis grand daughter In New
market, so they tell me. Hung on
longer than 1 expected, the old man
did. Too old to do much farming ana
no money to hire help."
On the morning of the sale the
roads leading toward the Woodman
place are populous with vehicles more
••rvlceabla than elegant—concords,
democrats, buggies, carry-alls sad rat-
slon, a mild excitement, and the wom-
en folk forsake their spicy kitchens to
enjoy a day's outing, with the bulging
dinner basket tucked under the front
seat. Long before the auctioneer is
ready to begin his task the Woodman
house, dooryard and barn are overrun
by a curious, shrewdly calculating
crowd discussing the ramlly history
and the values of its goods and chat-
tels.
The Day They Celebrate.
OJIbways of the Mississippi band
have regularly each year since 1868
celebrated their acceptance of the
White Earth reservation In western
Minnesota.
Within the limits of Its boundaries
In northern Minnesota these people
have come out of barbarism into an
advanced stage of civilization From
betng American wards and helpless
children they are now citizens and
owners cf the land, with deeds duly
signed with their own signatures prov-
ing their claims.
Even to this year the days of June
15 and 16 are celebrated instead of
July 4, though it is possible that here-
after the Americans' Independence
day will be accepted as their own
time of rejoicing.—Fur News.

“Ran Along a Passage Flanked by
Show Cases.’-’
Into the doorway and ran along a pas-
sage flanked by showcases until it
reached the elevator in the rear, in
which James Meehan, the operator,
was seated. The spectacle of a steer
seeking to enter the elevator gave
Meehan a distinct shock, but he had
presence of mind enough to pull his
lever and the car shot upward.
The disappearance of the car fright-
ened the animal, which now turned
and cavorted out of the store into the
street. The place was barren of cus-
tomers at the time and, except for the
fright suffered by the clerks, some of
whom sought refuge beneath the
counter, the visitation was harmless.
On regaining the sidewalk the ani-
mal galloped to Ninth avenue, thence
to Forty-flifth street and west toward
Tenth avenue. The clamor attract-
ed the attention of Policeman Back-
us, who blew bis whistle for aid. Ef-
forts were made to head off the steer
as it dashed into Tenth avenue, and
now for the first time the animal
showed its mettle when it charged
the crowd that was backing up Back-
us. The policeman was knocked down
and the animal ran over his body
without doing him any injury.
James Donohue, one of the persons
in the crowd, was not so fortunate.
The steer caught him before he could
escape and tossed him Into the show
window of a crockery store a dis-
tance of more than ten feet. Dono-
hue suffered severe bruises about the
face and hands.
Almost surrounded by a crowd, the
frightened steer dashed up Tenth
avenue toward Forty-seventh street,
where it paused to survey the ground.
This proved the undoing of the ani-
mal, for a dozen men carrying ropes
encased the animal in a network of
hemp from which it sought in vain
to release itself. Once in custody,
the steer became docile and was led
without difficulty back to the yard
from whence It had escaped through
a gate inadvertently left ajar by a
keeper.

Alarmtd.
Suddenly there was a great commo-
tion In space and Mars was observed
to be whirling away from the eartb at
top speed.
“What’s the trouble?” queried the
astronomers on the earth. “Afraid we
want to steal your canals?”
*No.” signaled the Martians, ”we

Snake Cuts Off a Town.
Tullahoma, Tenn. — A common
chicken snake about four feet long
cut Tullahoma off from telegraphic
communication with the outside world
for several hours, but paid the pen-
alty with his life.
Tbe snake climbed a pole after
birds that had flocked there and
crawled out on the wires. When he
had connected several of them with
his body the current was strong
enough to kill him, but his body lay
across all the wires, cutting out serv-
ice to this place tor several hours
while the linemen were locating the
trouble.
Birds Bear Love; Mail Slow.
Winsted, Conn.—David Cohen, who
recently came here from New York
to manage a clothing business, will
send love letters to his ilancee in New
York by carrier pigeon instead of by
mail. He has received a dozen pi-
geons for that purpose, one of which
took a prize at a recent show In New
York. Mr. Cohen refused to divulge
his sweetheart's name or street ad-
dress. By rail to New York It Is 118
miles, and it takes four hours for the
fastest tralps to carry a letter there
By air line the distance la consider-
ably shorter and Mr. Cohen has fig
ured that he can beat Uncle Sum’s d»
livery system by mure than am Sour.
