The snake carries the iatt!es on the ground ex cept when ho raises them to sound l i:; warning. This will be evidenced by the fact that in every snake of any size that Is killed the rattles are worn through on the under side. Forest and Stream. Use Wire Fences for Telephoning.

Boston Women PIfcase Actress. Sarah Bernhardt says some pleas ant tDngs about the Boston woman In her 'Memories of My Life."

The remark able feature of today's stock market was the entire confusion and uncer tainty of Its action, a rellection to some extent at least, of . the doubts felt over the actual progress which has been made towards betterment In af fairs. The reduction yesterday in the New York Central dividend rate serv ed as a warning, that, if improvement lias set in in the business affairs of the C! untry, there are consequences to toi kholders of business contraction which are later to be faced. Today much attention was paid to evidence of necessary cuts in distribu tion profits. Most important instance came from abroad, the Rio Tlnto Min big company (ci pper) declaring only in shillings compared with 47 shilling six pence in the preceding distribu tion. Response to the reduction of the official discount rate of the Bank oT England from :, to :j per cent was suggestive, aiso, oi uncertain speela ue lemper. coupled wit lithis prime index of declining monev into an. I growing accumulation of idle money came the report from the London mar ket that half of the ten million dollar issue o fthe Grand Trunk Pacific de bentures remained in the hands of un derwriters. Some slight improvement in prices curities from the easing money rate, curities fro mthe easing money rate, but capital still hestitates to embark in new issues. This same question hovered about the d.'ors of the confer ence of steel and iron men in session here today. The demand for steel rails from railroads halts disappointingly, and the argument is heard ninonyst steel men against a redact Inn of prices that would prove unavailing to induce buyim; until railroads that find themselves aide tofl.-at new securities find means for purchase. The prospect of dividend reductions on road stocks promises to affect the resources of other companies which hold these stocks in their treasuries, rnion Pacific's large holdings of sfeks of other railroads and its reli ance on divemls from them to nav part of the dividend rate on its own stock made it conspeuous in the dis cussion of this matter. Speculative sentiment was sensitive still to news !Voni Washington of efforts to shape the legislative program for the rest ' f the session of congress, especially notion on the Sherman anti trust law. Weakness in the London copper mar ket and a. rise here in sr.Ear were in cidents of the day. Further reduction in the number of freight cars idle was nrf'd with satis faction as was the reported good chance for avoiding n strike of soft coal miners. Prices iu stocks shewed miall gains at. the end of the day, but ho rise from the low point of the day had eeniu-red in the last half hour of rud new York. YORK MONEY. March 19.

He said that In his CO years of church work there were two occasions on which he could not restrain himself from laughing. One night a bad boy sat in the gallery and amused himself, by dropping or trying to drop, spit balls into tiie open mouth of a pillar of the church who had fallen asleep In the amen corner. This incident nearly broke up the meeting, becau3 every man and woman in the congre gation, was watching the performance, and no one paid the slightest attc.T tion to Dr. Eddy. The other occasion whkti . csused Dr, Eddy to laugh couecvce-U odo, of i his own sons. This youngster, go! 11 to church in a white duck suit, had a nosebleed, and being without a handkerchief, allowed the blood, drop by drop, to form diagrams upon his trousers. He made all sorts of fig- urges by moving his head about. Mrs. r.uuy nnany took notice of thla per formance, but dared not luterrupt her liusband'G prayer by motherly om clousness. As soon, however, as tlio prayer was ended she hit her boy a inignty whack whereat the doctor laughed. POET WAS DEEP CALCULATOR, Certainly Had Results of His riage Figured Out Well. Mar Former Chairman Shonta of the lath nilan Canal Commission was prais ing a foreign system of requisitions. "The edvantage of this tysteni," he said smiling, "is that It works both ways. It Is like the marriage of the spendthrift poet. "This poet made a good deal of money, but, being extravagant, he was always in debt. One August at the seashore he wooed, won and wedded a young woman of great wealth. Thereafter times were better with him. "At breakfast during the honey moon, the bride said to the poet ten derly: " 'Does the fact that I hav money, dearest, make any difference to you?' " 'To he sure it does, my love,' th poet answered. "She drooped a little, perplexed, alarmed. "What difference? ' " 'Why,' said he, 'It is such a com fort to know that. If I should die you'd bo provided for.' , '"And if I should die?' said the bride. " 'Then,' he returned, 'I'd bo provid ed for.'" Education An old darkey in Alabama called across the fence to Ids neighbor's son, who Roes to school at the Atlanta uni versity: "U)ok hyar, boy, you goto to school, don't yer?" "Yes, sir," replied the boy, "Gettin' eddycushun, ain't yer? "Yes, sir." "Larnln" 'lithmetlc and flggerln' otj a slate, eh?" , "Yes, sir." "Well, it don't take two whole days to make an hour, do it?" t "Why, no," exclaimed the boy. -"You was goin' to bring that hatchet back In an hour, wasn't yer? And It's been two whole days since you bor rowed it? Now, what's tho- use of your eddycashun if you go to school a whole year an' den can't tell how long it takes to fetch back Uat hatchet?" Desirable Addition. "If ynti want a versatile Journalist to a Id to your stnff, I can recommend one," said a New York man on his 're turn from a visit to the, home of his boyhood. "Where Is he now?" in quired the editor of the big dally news paper. "He's In HarborviLe, wtrftre I lived the first 15 years of my life," was the rply, "nnd he's the mainstay of the Ilarborville Banner. "The editor told rn that ho had never allowed the young man to know whether a broom, a concert ticket or a pair of shear would be handed to him when he reached the ofllce, and the editor couldn't see but he worked Just as wel! with one as with another." Youth's Companion. 'Honesty the Best Policy." They were interviewing the crafty manager of the "got rich quick" syn dicate. "But don't you believe that honesty pays?" asked the Interviewer. "I certainly do," chuckled the man ager. 'It pays us. For Instance, as long as the young men and wonjen. Who answer our advertisements keep op their agreement to send us tea doIMrs weekly we are that much bet ter off." Innoc.nt Tommy. "Here is some complexion powder. auntie," said little Tommy Toddles. I bought this little box for mamma and the great big box for yon." 'But why did you thluk I needed euch a largo box?" asked the visiting aunt in surprise. 'Oh, because I heard papa say you were two-faced." Better Than Diamonds. 'Mrs. Jinx' husband gives her a dia mond every birthday she has." "I wouldn't change places with ber." "Why, your husband can't afford t ,ive you diamonds?" I know it; but be kisses me and tells me I look younger than the day I was a bride." Houston Post.
