Ought not to mean growing weak and
feeble. It does not mean weakness or
r'eebie-nsss for those who eat with good
.iippetite and sound digestion. It is of
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and
assimilate food which i the sole source
f physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it is generally because of the
failure to assimilate the nutrition con
tained in food.

CHAMPION SNAKE HUNTER.
Frenchman "Who Waa Credited
with Killing 30,OUO Venonioni
Iteptilc.
It is not well known that certain
parts of France are infested with
poisonous serpents, against which
warfare is waged by state-paid ser
pent hunters. They are hilled in
thousands, and the price per head
is There was some time ago
a famous serpent killer in the forests
of Southampton. John Milly, who in
42 years of hunting killed more than
29,000 vipers, says the London Tat
tler. A Frenchman named Courtol,
wjio hunted in the Loire district, can
be compared to Milly, as he was
credited with having killed 30,000 ven
omous reptiles. His only weapons
were one or two massive sticks. As
soon as he saw the serpent he ad
vanced and hit it violently, either
killing or stunning it; with the sec
ond stick he pinned it to earth and
cut off the head with a huge pair
of scissors. But along with these
simple weapons Courtol possessed a
thorough knowledge of the habit of
serpents, lie knew when and where
to find them. In tv,o days near Puy-a-Clermont
he killed 230 of them, and
not only did he kill the poisonous
creatures, but he would capture them
lhing when desired.
MUSIC OF THE CUBANS.

Cubans ?how a semi-savnge prefer
ence for such music as is made by
a band composed of a stamp-mill
sort of a crank piano, a pair of sugar
kettle tom-toms and a man with a
horse-radish grater called a "giro"
and a Hat hie with which to scrape it
the combined outfit producing a dis
cordant potpourri that might easily
dislocate the teeth of any self-resp, et
ing handsaw, says the Detroit Free
Press. This example of music as the
Cubans fancy it is even worse than
the finrer-drumming and wire-snapping
musical murders committed in
Tunisian bazars and Algerian cafes
chant-antes. The lauded but lugubri
ous Cuban national hymn is best es
teemed when perf tinned by one of
these bands of inharmonic banditti,
and the national dance, that monoton
ous combination of motions that sug
gests that the dancer is trying 1o shoo
a Ilea oil the small of Ids back and
also go easy on a stone-bruised heel,
can only be adefpiately performed. to
the music of these African agitators of
cat-gut, raw-hifie and perforated tin.
The truth is the Cubans will have to
learn music all over again.

The antiseptic shaving saloon is the
latest achievement in hytrienk- science,
says Tit-F.its. The victim is seated in
an enameled iron chair, with his neek
ami shoulders enveloped in a rubber
pad that lias been dioped in an anti
septic solution. Previously the razor,
snap di.-h. and brush have been steril
ized by half an hour's hard boiling.
Nothing is allowed to touch the face
that lias not been either sterilized or
disinfected antiseptieally. Kven the
finger tips of the operator are dipped
in a solution. Taps are turned by the
foot, and the drawers where towels
are kept are microbe-proof.
