' In a Freueb paper Is tuld a curious serpent story, tbe seen of which was the island of Martinique oud the dram atis personne Seriteuut Legraud aud Private Duraud uud the snake a deud .ly lancebead. ( ' Tbe soldier bud been puulshed wl'.b a night in tbe cells for some trivial of fense, but as tbe night was very hot tbe sergeant bad left the door open, in tbe uioruiug at 0 o'clock Legrand went to wake bis prisoner and. to bis horror, beheld a luncebend snake coll ed up and fast asleep on the man's breast . , - .' Tbe sergeant did not lose bis pres ence' of miud. He stole noiselessly away, ran to tbe guard room and, fol lowed by all tbe men on duty, return ed to tbe cell with a bowl of milk and tin whistle. Placing the bowl of milk at tbe entrance to tbe cell, the ser geant begun to play tbe "Blue Dan ube." It la needless to remark that tbe weukness of tbe lancebead is milk and music. The serpent,' which was a six foot specimen, awoke, glided from the soldier's body toward tbe bowl, but It bad no sooner burled its head In its beloved drink than ten cudgels descended on It with terrific force, killing It outrlpbt. Tbe soldier. Durand, who was in a swoon, was taken to hospital, wbere be lay for many days on tbe verge of madness. He Dually recovered and re lated bis horrible experience bow bei had awoke In the middle of the night as the serpent was rolling Itself on bis bare breast and how be had lain there In an agony for hours, not daring to move a muscle. i - HUNTING THE CHINCHILLA. Andean Natives Uh Trained Dogs or a 8ort of Weasel. ' High up on the eastern slope of tbe Andes. In sections of Peru, Bolivia and Chile, the chinchilla has Its habitat Living nt an elevutlou from 8,000 to 12.000 feet above the level of the sea, its chilly home is responsible for its thick, wtiriii coat, und also largely for the exorbitant price it brings. Such coats are bard to get and not plentiful, therefore they are wanted. "It is a hopping rodent mammal," writes W. A. Reld of tip chinchilla in the Bulletin of tbe PnfTAmerlcnn Un ion, "somewhat resembling our com mon squirrel, and wben Btanding upon Its bind legs, as It does when eating. the similarity is even more noticeable. Ordinarily the body of tbe animal Is about ten Inches in length, exclusive of the tail. It Is covered with a gray fur. soft and silky, wblcb on the sides Is about an Inch long. "Chinchillas burrow In tbe ground and live together In villages, like our prairie dogs. The natives of tbe An-. denn regions hunt them with trained dogs or with prisons. What Is a grl son? The South American cousin to our weasel und Just nbout ns cunning, and be easily slips into the rocky crev ices, wbere the chinchilla seeks to hide, and captures It. t , "Since the fur of the chinchilla was first Introduced Into Europe during the earlier part of the nineteenth century the price of the skins has soured until a lady's muff and collar Of only me dium size made of this material com mand a price of $500 or more." Printing Office Dialogues. There must be some amusing con versations In a newspaper composing room, according to a young man who works in a printing office and who de clares that dialogues like the follow ing ure of frequent occurrence: Foreman of the Office Brown, wbat are you doing now V Compositor-I'm finishing "Setting a House on Fire;" most done. Foreman What's Jones nbout? Compositor-He's finishing that "Aw ful Murder." Foreman Tell him to hurry it up and take hold or this "Runaway Horse." Morse, what have you on hand? Morse "Solid .Men of Boston." Foreman-Well, he sure and put them In small cups and then get busy with "A Warm Winter" Vouth's Com panion. Pleasant Old Customs. Hospital patients of today are bet ter off than their ancestors of, "tbe good old tiiuus." Mr. Wheatley In his book on "London" quotes from a Scot tish act of parliament of 1380 to the effect that "gif ony man brings to the market corrupt swine or salmond to be sail Id. they sail he taken by the bnlllie. and Incontinent, without ony question, snll lie sent to the leper folks." and If there he no lepers then only "sail they be destroyed utterlie. ' The same pleasant custom obtained in Oxford in the fifteenth century, where all putrid meat and HmIi was by stat- ute sent to St John's hospital. A New One For Him. "The climate here Is sulubrious, isn't It?" remarked the. tourist. "Sny. friend." replied the native.
