Preserved in the unofficial records of the Congressional investigations of Philippine conditions is a story which was told of Senator Hoar the other night. The Senator, so the story goes, wandered into the committee room one sleepy afternoon and promptly delved into some records and became absorbed. The witness who was testifying as to the treat ment of certain prisoners, declared with emphasis: “And they adminis tered corporal punishment.” Just here the venerable Senater from Massachusetts started up, drop ped his book and, catching a word of the testimony, said, with a violent effort to show that he had been awake: “Corporal?

On Sunday afternoon last, with two companions, he set out from Rock Bay to walk to Rear River, a distance of about ten miles by the trail. On the way Browlee, thinking to take a short cut, branched off on a side iine from the main trail, his companions still con- tinuing their journey on it. When Brownlee's friends reached Bear River late Sunday afternoon they found that he had not arrived. On Monday morning nothing had bees heard of the missing man. On Tues day morning it was decided that the whole camp should rake to the woods and look for Brownlee, and according iy some sixty men get out.

The “Snake Oil” man has made his annual appearance in Washington. He comes frcm the snake farm of Ezra Willetts, of Milestone, Washington County, Maryland, which consists of half an acre of stony billside. The land ig #0 overgrown with brush aad grass that it makes a fine place for snakes, and the number Mr Willetts has confined is estimatea at 20.000 All of the snakes are of the wa riety known as the “garter” They seldom attain a length of more than four feet and their bite not pol sonous. There is a demand for snake oil, which is supposed to cure rheu matism. As ther are caught the snakes are skinned and their bodies chopped up and fried like lard. The resulting oil is thick and heavy, and has rather a disagreeable odor, which is partially dispelled by repeated | cooking. About 200 snakes are treat ed at a time. The product of the farm is one barrel of snake oil a year. New York World. ig Acclimated All Over.
