There la one man In Boston who has no fear of women Invading bl line oi trade, and up to the present time be is ue only man, as lar as is known, is lii.s state, who is a professional snake richer. This man, reports the ros.oi G'.obe, Is O. W. Mason, who docs no; iuii. his living is in any way strange, '.or he considers snakes iar less nara. less than dogs or any other pets. A Glob reporter accompanied Mr. Mason on a snike hunt to the Bl.;e hills the other day and was shown con Rlutiiely that there need be no fear af anybody getting klllel from the bite of a snake In this vicinity. Mr. Ma-a lonned leather gloves, leather gat rt end unfolded his snake-caicblng app -ratus, a long stick, from which hun ?. stout string tied to a sort of a dredg ing machine. This machine was at tached to th part of the stick nearest the ground, and Is worked with uie string attachment. When a snake is seen Mr. Mason, with the stick In the right hand, string iu the left, follows it, places It over the snake's body, an J the snake Is no longer at lioerty. 'Well," said Mr. aiaaun, alter tne Srrt snake was caught, "did he run alter me or did I have t run after Mm?" , "You see," he said, without waling for a reply, "If t had gone about my owa business, as It were, that snake d-o-ild now be enjoying the pleasure of : asking In the hot sua. No," continued he, "a vicious dog would have turned on me ithout provocation, but no matter how vicious a snake Is, he will avoid a conflict , "I have gone Into a den of nearly 100 snakes, . and not on of them turned on me until cornered, and then the fun began. Time and again I have been bitten, but have not yet met any thing snake shaped that fear. If I ..ere to nou tne white .nuntr thlnrs might be different, but I know what to do hen there is danger around. "Near K.mdolph, about two miles away from the nearest electric road, I latch at leist 20 rattlers to one cop perhead. There are to be found the Indian mails, unknown to any but pto .'efwors from the (liferent colleges th t accompany me when there is m l -eHtigation of the different snaite pri sons under way. The coyiierhcad-i ar? ..loat plentiful at or near tlie erra xi -diiion, very far away fro.n places vis ited on Sunday by plcnl.iui.g parties.

It Iook me two hours to get the lait o.ie, and though they were as nnd as hora;ts 1 got the last one wituout harm, al. alive. "Strange aa It may seem," said Mr. Mason, ub he stroi.ed the bead of oi.e of the snakes which bad ventured to the top of the -bag In whl :h It ha I been put, "won.en are not as ma-h afraid of snakes as are the s.trtKr sex.

Th Sond of Empire, Forty years ago, befote the nations of Europe developed their navies, it was the opinion of so.i.e statesmen that a friendly separation would relieve the mother country and leave the colonies in freedo.u and saleiy.
