Snakes.?A well-known Alexan?
drian was out to-day looking for a
black snake, not for a Christmas gift,
but for bis own especially use as a
householder He stated that bis ex?
perience for set;;e time past is that a
black snake in a man's cellar is worth
Irom three to four tons of coal a year as
the negro is not living who would go at
night into a cellar where a black snake
is known to be. The idea is an en?
tirely new one to many and it is
thought that a new industry will be
started in the capture and sale of black
snakes.
