A FEW yfnf Ice a Oaaalar tC Jataa, OF THE CITY DADS Municipal Affairs Receive Careful Attention All members with the mayor pre siding were present at the regular meeting of the city council Tues day evening. After the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, a petition for the improve' incut of Willis boulevard, Tiogo to Charleston street, with macadam and concrete walks, was read and then laid on the table for further investigation. Although John Johnson filed an objection to the viewers report on the opening and extension of Charleston street, it was decided to adopt the viewers report by oral nance, which document will be pre sen ted at the next regular meeting. Mr. Lauthcrs' bill of Cto for the use of part of his business place for holding the election for the first ward Tuesday met with considera ble objection. Councilman Johnson thought the rate of $300 per mouth for a location that did not interfere to any great extent with the usual business that was being conducted in the room was very steep, and he believed the bill should be cut in two. Upon a vote, however, it went through pared down to $7.50. The improvement of Portland boulevard, passed upon favorably by the street committee, was ac ceptcd by council. Dills to the amount of $1688.92 were allowed. An ordinance establishing the grade of Tyler street was passed and a resolution providing for its mprovemcut was adopted.

Snakes on tho pampas of South America havo many enemies. Burrow- lag owls feed on them, and so do herons and storks, which kill them with n blow of their Javelin bcakn. Tho ty rant bird picks up tho young snnko by tho tail and, flying to a branch or stone, uses tho reptile ns a flail until its lifo is battered out. Tho largo Hz- nrd of the pampas, tho Iguana, Is a fa mous snnko killer. It smiles tho snnko to death wltb Its powerful tnlL Mr, Hudson in his "Naturalist In La Pla ta" tells this story: Ono day a friend of mlno was riding out looking after his cattle. Ono end of his lasso was attached to bis saddle, and tho rcmnlndcr of tho forty foot lino was allowed to trail on tho ground. Tho rider noticed a largo Iguana lying apparently asleep, and, although ho rode within a few Inches, It did not stir. Hut no sooner had tho rider pass cd than tho trailing lasso attracted tho llznrd's attention. It dashed after tho slowly moving ropo and dealt it a succession of violent blows witli its tall. When the whoto of tho lasso, several yards of which had been pound cd In vain, had passed by, tho Iguana, with uplifted head, gazed after it with astonishment. Never had such a won dcrful snnko crossed Its path before. THE HEDQEHOQ. Taetlet It Employs In Making a Meal of an Adder. The hedgehog Is tho possessor of tastes which, llko Sam' Welters knowl edgo of London, aro "extensive and pe culiar," says tho Scotsman. Scorning fastidiousness, It can mako a hearty meal of nearly any Insect and Is ono of tho vertebrates which can tncklo tho cockroach. For effectual exter mination of beetles and crickets It Is as useful as a tuongooso among tho rats, but It Is not generally known that It has a partiality toward snakes aud adders. Tho methods It employs for tho at tack aro Interesting. Having conio upon tho adder, It goads that rcptllo to tho ofronslvo and at tho flint dart Immediately rolls Into a ball. Tho ad der Is then left to attack tho spines, In which encounter it naturally comes off mocoimI best. After awhile, when tho hedgehog feels that bis antagonist has exhausted his power, It onco tnoro opens out nnd makes a blto at tho ud der's back, thereby breaking Its splno. It then proceeds to crunch tho wholo of the reptile's body by means of Its powerful Jaws, and after that It Is said to start at tho tall and dovour Its proy. 8ubtle Hsltsry. Walters Nos. 1 und 1!

A former St Mary's student, writing from Sao Paulo, In Brazil, In the St. Mary's Hospital CJaiette, says; "A few days back I was giving chloroform to a patient when I felt a touch on my shoulder, and a voice said, Tho pa tient la very still.' I said, 'He is quiet all right,' and tho voice replied; 'I urn bis brother; If be dies you die. I have a pistol, and there are eight of us!' Here, if any one Is til, all the family collects, and they sit In the samo room as the patient and watch what Is done." The doctor adds, "Unfortu nately, though there were eight of them, they forgot my fee." The Difference. Mrs. Dash The Idea of Mrs. Hash having society aspirations!

A French surgeon who was onccat- tending 11 sultan resorted to nn expe dlcnt which, although efficacious, might havo resulted in his owu death. Ho had been commissioned to bleed tho grand seignior and either through timidity or nervousness had met with an awkward accident. Tbo point of tho lancet broko off in tho vein, nnd tho blood would not flow. That point must bo got out somehow. Without stopping to consider tho consequences to himself, tho surgeon gavo bis high ncss a violent slap tn the face. This produced tho desired effect, for bw prlso and Indignation on tho part of bis august patient put tho blood Into violent circulation.
