f I i 1 1 How Snakes Climb. IIo da nke ciimb ? is a question hich baa been frequently f ked. Many have thought that they accoiupiish the feat by wrapping themselves about the tree and following a pjiral coarse up ward, veral years ago a story went the rounds of the papers to the effect that two woodebopperB, having felled a large oak tree several feet in diamtUr and very tall, found in it top two common blacksntkes. After pondering for some time the men arrived at the conclusion that one anake had taken hold of each other's tail, and thus by co-operation they had been enabled to clasp the trunk, and by circling about it had ascenaed to the top. Whatever probability may have at tached to this conclusion has been dis pelled by the observation of two young naturalise while hauling firewood from the forest. A black snake, measuring perhaps a trifle over six fee , was found rliniting to the side of a small tree, around l.ich it could have wrapjd itself nearly twice had it wished to do so. Instead of this the snake passed ri?bt and left at short distances, catching the folds alouj: its nnJer parts over and behind the slightly projecting roughness of balk. As the snake rested only five or six feet off the ground one of the yvmg men grasped ita tail to test its climbing quali ties, but so great was the force ith hich it pulled, cpward that it proved a dirlicuit task to bold it. Finally, becoming an noved at this ill-treatment, the snake reached down threateningly at the of fending hands, and loosening it bold, fell to the ground. It was borne home in triumph, but was afterward returned u nirjured to the forest. Ymiih' Coi.ijn ion. Chased By Mad Dogs. No one bad spoken at the club for about an hour when a raconteur rose to the occasion. Laying aside his pipe with a look of regret he began. "It's a popular saying that barking dogs don't bite. Like other popular say ings this is a fallacy and misleading. Barking dogs do not bite while tbey are barking, but there is only one species of cannie that sneaks up U you and takes hold without saying a word. That is the Scotrli collie, which inherits iU habit of silent biting from a sheep nipping an cestry." -!-tory 1 story V called out the presi dent. "tnry ? Jod bless you '. I have none to tell, sir,'" quoted the raconteur, re membering his classics ; "this is onlv a memory of two dogs, accursed brutes that lived with an unfriendly men on a bill, over which the postroad was laid. This man, who was a Cain among bis fellows, kept two savage niast'iffs, who not only barked but bit whenever it ws possible. I was courting my first wife up there in the Cumbrrlmd mountains in British North America where this bapiened, and had to pass the house regularly. I drove a blooded mare that went like a bird, and the dogs were no match for her bat it was very annoy ing to have them follow me down the hill for a mile or more barking and yelping like demons. They would bark at the stage coaches and run long distances after them, but the passengers were safe inside and the driver and those on the outside were too high for them to reach. But I heard fre quent stories of their attacking men, and being beaten off with sticks and stones. I asked why they were not killed and my answer was always the same, a shrug of the shoulder and the remark : ''ioti don't know the kind of man their own er is.' It seemed that he lived alone w ith his dtps, and people feared him so much thay dare not go to him to com plain or call in the provincial laws to help him. ATERIUBl.E CHASE. "A crisis came, hen one day I took icy sweetheart out for a sleigh ride in a low pung belonging to her father, to which was barnessed my own sure and 8rift footed mare. It was a lovely day und we expected to make a safe and rapid descent of the mountain, a distance often or twelve miles. The air was crisp and cold, the sleighing fine, and e skimmed up the ast-eut and reached the landing before we knew we had started. There we were met by the dogs. I thick it would have ben less tlilticulty to have gotten rid of a pair of wolves. I dare not give my mare her head goinsduwn that long, steep declivity on fro.i-n snow, and the dogs, emboldened by the cold or maddened by repeated lashings from my whip, jumped at my companion and tore Ler cloak and her dress in mouthsfuls. I clubbed with my whip and beat them on the head, but they did not even seem to feel my blows. Their great black and yellow frames quivered with ftrocity. The hair on their backs stood op like manes; their eyeballs gleamed red and angry, and the noise they made was deaf icg and distracting. "Oh:' I exclaimed, 'why haven't I a pistol?' 44 'Look in the box under the seat,' cried my companion, whose face was blanched. "I looked quickly, and found a rusty doable barreled bowe pistol of a make cf forty years ago." " 'la it loaded T I asked." " 'Yes. but don't shoot. If yon da thai in in will kill you!" two;-huts fixed them. "I remember thinking how like a w o man it was to tell uie w here to lind the pislol and then asked me not to shoot. "I laid the reins loose on the mare's bick and away she went like the wind, beyond my control now, and I kuew the would never stop till she was a mile be yond the level ground at the foot of the hill. "If the pang held together; if nothing made the mare swerve from the direct line ; if, in fact if I'r jvidence kept an :ye on us, and the breeching didn't break we might escape breaking our necks. I l.Kked back md saw the degs gaining on us, even at that mad gait then I took aim and fired. Bang! Bang! There were two dark otjects lying prone on the snowy road, and asquu kasthe couid gather ber feet under her tnj mare stopped in her tracks. She was trained to the use of a gun. "But my companion urged me to hur ry on, and we were soon down the in cline and beyond the reach of recogni tion or pursuit, and strange to say no one but our two selves ever knew w bo killed those dogs. We beard the most marvel ous accounts of the slaughter, the weapon varying from a y ieen Anne musket to a cannon, but dead they were as door nails and their rein of terror over. I imagine their owner did not care to venture out to avenge their death. I drove boldly past the bouse every day, but was never molested or even suspected, liut I often heard their nnknown slayer praised and applauded for the deed which rid the neighborhood of their hateful presence. lftrit Fret Prou.

Horace Greeley dreaded the camera more than any man I ever saw. He was brought to my studio by Whitelaw Iieid and Sam Sinclair, famous in his day as one of the great workers on The Tribune. That great editor had just been nomi nated for the presidency of the Fnited Stat. He enrae into ray studio with an armfal of ppr, threw himself care lessly in thecbiir, adjusted his glasses, turned ti the editorial pige of The Trib une, begin rei l.ng one of his own ar ticles, and, without raising his eyes to me, said. "Fire away!" He had a great armful of pajiers, which he threw on the Moor at his feet. When 1 was ready to take the pictore I p-wed him properly and made a very good impression. I tojk him in several positions, and I no ticed that every time there was a ito-m-nt's delay w ith the camera be picked up his papers and began reading w ith avidity. At the same time I tock a group por trait of Greeley, with Whitelaw Reid on one siJe and Sinclair on the other. I doubt if any of those pictures are in ex istence. But the photograph then made at the first silting of Greeley alone is the one generally accepted as the best like ness. I have in my possession a letter from him acknowledging the receipt of the piotares-at least I suppose that is what it does, for it has taxed the ability of experts in chirography to decipher it. I regard it, however, as a pleasant me mento of the great journalist and states man. A. Bieardus in Ladies' Home Journal. Worth Looking At.
