A man who has devoted much of
his life to tlie capture and study of
rattlesnakes and other ophidians, is
now' a cigar 'dealer in Philadelphia,
where he entertains his friends and
pations with some of his experiences
of sniiko hunting, and at the Fame
time exhibits, free, many trophies of
hi3 skill. Mr, Cills belongs to a family
that has long been famous for snake
catching, and that peculiar liking for
the reptile tribe has descended to his
youngest child, a boy of less than three
years of age, who has not yet arrived
at thd aire of knickerbockers. In a
back room there is a largo cago con
taining six turtle-head snake from
Cuba.the largest of which is nearly eight
feet long. In the corner of the cage,
reaching to its top, is a leafless tree,
whereon the serpents stretch them
selves when they are tired of sleeping
in the sand that covers the floor.
Little Qeorgie Cills goes among them
ns fearlessly as though they were tame
doves, and hai a pet name for each
snake. When his father told him the
other dav to hand out " IJarnum," he
boldly seized the largest of the snakes
back of the head and pulled him over
his shoulder, dragging him bodily to
the door of the cage. The serpent
WricS'ei and threw a Coil Of his tail
around the trurfk of the tree, hissing
a little, meanwhile, as though angry ;
but the boy was too strong for him,
nnd soon handed him to his father,
Then he seized in turn the other five
snakes, varying from three to five feet
' In length, and forced them to climb the
tree, up which they made their sinuous
way very unwillingly and with the air
of being forced to perform much
against their wishes. They were mixed
i and intermingled finally in the top
branches so that they seemed rolled
into a ball ; but when Georgie called
them they disentangled themselves
. and glided to. the ground aain, where
they once more coiled ' themselves up
for another nap.
"There is not a snake in that lot,"
, sal I Mr. Cills, " that c;innot swallow a
sparrow, and the big one, Uarnum,'
can get awny with a big dock-rat very
easily; You have no idea of the ex
pansion tho mouth of a snake is capable
of undergoing. They are small, as you
see, and their necks are very slim, but,
by their constrictions and convulsions,
they can force down a morsel that is
twice their own bulk. Like all other
snakes they must kill their own food.
,They will nut touch an animal that is
not given them alive and would starve
to 'death sooner than eat butchers'
meat. That is a great mistake the
natural histories make when they say
that the serpent salivates his prey be
fore eating it. Not even the constrictor
(who can eat a sheep) does that. He
coils himself around his victim after
having 'struck' him and crushes him
into euch "shape that he can gradually
- swallow him. 1 will let you see ' liar
nura' swallow a sparrow."
The little bird was introduced into
the cago and instantly seized bv the
snake. "His struggles were very brief,
' for in an instant a coil was thrown
around him and he was crushid to
death. Then Uarnum maneuvered
' around the cag3 for a minute or so
still keeping tho toil tightly pressed
around the bird, forcing the wings
cloee'y to it side, and was ready for
' ' his feast. Seizing the sparrow by the
head (it wa dead now and released
from the coil) the snake began a series
, of convulsive motions, and in about half
a minute the bird that visibly distended
the snake s neck was out ol sight,
Talking ol rattiesnaKes alter the ex
hibition Mr, Cills said that showmen
were often bitten by them, owing to
Ignorance ot their nature. When a
rattlesnake first comes into a show, he
said, his fangs are pulled out and most
showmen" think that after that there
can be no danger in handling him
. That is a mistake. The fangs will
grow again unless they are cut out at
the roots, and I have known of cases
where a rattlesnake bit and poisoned
Lis handler less than three weeks after
his fangs had been pulled. The rattle
snake's fangi hend inward and sire
sharper than a fine nc( die at the end.
When the showmen want to destroy
thoin they raise the rage of the snake
by , flaunting a silk handkerchief in
front of him. In his unreasoning rage
he seizes the handkerchief and a clever
jerk puJJs but his fangs. .1 a k Draper,
wno was witn uaruner s circus ten or
, . twelve ye;rs ago, got badly bitten by a
snake who e fangs had been recently
pulled out. He t iok nine full glasses
or Whisky at once an:l went to sl-ep,
and aj soon as he woke up he drank
six more, lie says the whisky did not
intoxicate him, and that ho had a dull
: numbness of the arm and a general
feeling of paralysis and drowsiness
that frightened him. lie recovered in
two or three days.
"The rattles on a snake are not a
' sure indication of his age, as tlie natn
ralit tell us. They say he gits a rattlo
every year. 2vow, I have had snakes
., that crew thn e rattles in a year and
some that did not have one in less than
a year arid a half. Florida rattle
snakes often get two rattles in a year.
I think they make more rattles when
they are well fed and aro in a warm
plate, ltaltienakes in captivity are
' not as voracious as other suake-i. Fif
teen mice will feed a good-si.ed snake
for a month, but if you tempt him he
will eat double that number. In his
natural state ho lives on his fat in tho
winter, and in captivity a Brake has
boen known to live ror more tnan a
vear without food. Fanglets snakes
cannot kill their game, and I have put
them in the cage with a snake with
fangs and have seen tho latter strike
their game for them. If I had killed
t 'e niouso or rat nothing would have
uievailed upon tlie snako to eat it.
Did you ever know that rattle-
snakes commit suicide? Well, they i
do. When wo catch them we use a
crotched st ick and aim to fit the crotch
just back of the hea l. Sometimes we
get it too far back, and that gives tho
snake a chaneo to bite himself. When
he sees that he has no chance ( f escape
he bitei himself, and in half ivi hour
ho is dead. If ho gets bitten in a fight
with another make he glides off at
full speed to a marsh, wlicro he can
get rattlesnake weed, a sure antidote.
The toads know of this remedy also,
and often uso it after being bitten.
AVo are ant to despise theso lowly rep
tiles, but they have good pluck and
often fo 1 the rattlesnakes.
Are rattlesnakes good to eat?
Well, their llesh tastes like sucking
pig. and is perfectly transparent. I
never made a iiraetico of rating it, but
1 have tasted it friul an I have no
hesitation in saying that it was de
licious.' Tho Lnnrrst Feet In tlie World.
A Utter from Sanduskv, Ohio, to the
Cincinnati F.nulr(T says: Fannie
Mills has the biggest feet in the world,
so far as known, and they are still
growing. Your correspondent cams
here on purpose to see tho wonderful
sight, which would, under ordinary
circumstances, be a viry indelicate pro
ceeding. Fannio Mills is twenty-two years
old, and resides on tho dairy farm of
her father. Ceorcro Mills, two miles
from Sandusky,
Your corminondent called at the
Mills Imma at ovnninrr nnrl Mm lip.nl nt
the household was standing in tho
yard. His creeting was kindly and ho
entered into conversation on the sub
ject of his daughter's big feet. He
laughingly remarked , that peoj lo
generally didn't believe the seemingly
incredible stories concerning 1- annie s
immense pedal extremities, but to
prove that they were really so large he
invited the reporter into the house to
see for himself. The young woman
was called by her father and wabbled,
rather than walked, into the front
room. She wore a long gown, which
was scarcely sufficient to hide the de
formity. She sat down in a chair and
exposed her feet to view. It is almost
impossible to exaggerate the marvel
ous sight. She removed her shoes, and
then great white pillow cases, which
were worn as stockings.
Tho feet look like two immense
hams. The toes are irregular and the
little toes are represented by two little
knobs. There are no toe nails, although
the places .where they should be are
clearly defined. Your correspondent
undertook the uelicato task or measur
ing the feet. The right foot is ono
foot six inches in length, and tho left
ono inch shorter. Over the ins'.ep of
the right foot is twenty-one inclu s, and
over tho other ono inch less. The big
toe of tho left foot is eleven inches in
circumferen e. The right foot is
longer than the left by an inch, but the
latter is heavier and thicker. Theieet
are respectively seven and eight inches
wide. From this actual measurement
of Fanny Mills' feet any one can
readily imagine what marvelously
large shoes sho must wear. Hereto
fore they have been manufactured in
lbany, X. 1 ., buz a bunuusky shoo
firm has the lasts and a pair of shoes on
exhibition, whicn have attracted great
attention. Her feet have increased in
size since the display in the slice store
window was made.
The left shoe Is 16.V inches long, tho
right eighteen inches in length; tho left
is seven and one-half inches wide and
the othi r eight inches. The right in
step of tho shoe measures 19J inches,
and the left 17. V Inches. ! annie Mills
weighs 10'J pounds, and, although delicate-looking,
says she has good health.
It takes two calf hides to make her a
pair of shoes, and all her vit ility goes
to sustain her massive limbs and feet.
The girl had unusually large feet when
she wa3 born, and they have continued
to grow alarmingly f.ist ever since.
Wirely DoTotion in China.
Imagine fifteen of our maidens
throwing themselves together into the
river rather than accept the husbands
proposed for them, as so many young
girls did at Canton not long ago. But,
if onco tho objection to marriage bo
overcome, such young ladies show as
keen a desire to fulfill every duty of
the state to whicli they have been
called as they befirj did to avoid
undertaking any duty at all. A
daughter of the last Chinese minister
to London, Kwo bung-taon, has re
cently afforded an admirable example
of what a wife should be, dare and do.
iVccording to the Peking Uarette, lit
the ti nder age of seventeen sho con
sented to become ths wife of tho
brother of Tso Tsung-tang, the con
queror of Kuldja. Not long afterward
by a decree or the lates her husband
fell ill, and when ordinary nourishing
food failed to revive her prostrate
lord, she with more than courage sliced
a piece of flesh from her arm and mixed
it with his broth. But "her pretty action
did outsell her gift," and, in spite of
her heroism, her husband died. This
event, which might well have brought
t ) a close a recoid of self-devotion, only
opened a new field for tho exercise of
saintly duty. Tsi had gone and could
not come back to her ; but there was
no reason why sho should not go to
him. So she refused to swallow any
tl.ing but gold-leaf. Here, however,
so;i;o unseen power interposed, and
the gold neither choked her nor
wrought the mischief which tho more,
costly powdered diamonds produce
with tho victims of Indian assassins.
Struck with wonder at this miracle hex
friends besought h r to throw away
the poison and remain yet a little while
with them. This, alter some misgiv
ings, she consented to do ; but, keeping
tlie word of promise to their ear and
breaking it to their hope, she took ad
vantage of the first illness which over-
took her to perform a happy du
pa
ch
ly starving herself to death. -York

The most ancient system of weights
in tho kingdom of England was the
moneyer's pound or the money-pound
of the Anglo-Saxons, which was con
tinued in use for some centuries a ter
the Conquest, being then known as the
"Tower pound," or sometimes the
Goldsmith's pound. It con'ntned
twelve ounces of 4o0 grains each, or
5,400 grains, and this weight of silver
was a pound sterling. The Tower
pound was abolished in 1527 by a
statue of Henry VIII., which first es
tablished Troy weight as theon'y legal
weight for gold and silver, and from
this time to tho present our system of
coinage has be?n based on the Troy
weight, the Troy pound containing
5,760 grains.
Professor nuxley, in an address at
tho International fisheries exhibition,
pointed out that an acre of good fish
ing ground will yield more food in a
week than an acre of tho best land
will in a year. Still more striking
was his picture of the moving " moun
tain of cod," 120 to 130 feet in height,
which for two months of every year
moves westward and southward past
the NorwepiaD coast. Every square
mile of this colossal column of fish con
tains 120,000,000, consuming when on
short rations, no fewer than 840,000,-
000 of herrings. The whole catch of
the Norwegian fisheries never exceeds
in a year more than half a square mile
of this " cod mountain," and ono week's
supply of the herring is needed to keep
that area er. cod irom starving.
A tier man Custom.
There is a beautiful custom among
the Germans of having chorals played
from the churdi towers at regular
hours of the day. When I first heard
this music in Stuttgart, coming, as it
appeared to me, from the heavens, I
was puzzled to know its object and the
source from whence it came. I gazed
above and around me, but I failed to
detect its origin. Tho beautiful mel
ody, softened by distance, was floating
in the air like music from rco'.iau harps.
A few days afterward I was more
fortunate in my discoveries1. 1 again
heard the music from above. Near
me was the Stilts kirche, an old church
built in 11308, whicli has attached to it
an immense-octagon tower rising up
to a height of nearly two hundred
feet. Encircling this tower near the
top is a balcony, on which I at last
espied the authors of the strange
music. Several men withbrassiost.ru
ment3 were perched on that giddy
height playing sacred music. When
they had finished one piece they moved
to another position on Uie balcony and
played a different tune. Four selec
tions in all were played, ono toward
each point of the compass. On mak
ing inquiries afterward, 1 found that
this playing from tho church had been
in practice for more than a hundred
years. A German lady " once upon a
time," belonging to one of the nobla
families, bequeathed a sum of money,
the income of which was ever after to
be devoted to paying the expenses of
this religious observance. The clause
in her will stated that chorals or selec
tions of sacred music were to be played
from this church tower twice a day,
punctually every morning at the rising
of tho sun, and also from half-past
eleven to twelve at noon. Uermanj

A QtJEEX OF THE STAGE.
"Iter nrrond I.eyr," turn
rrrm Kk iteveaU lor the
Import nrl
i llpordl of
(iSVu. York W'orW.)
Several years ago ths American rmblio
were arou-ied by tne entree upon the alage
of a little lady who had been previously but
lit le announced. She was one of an innu
merable number of aspirant for rmblio
f.vor nnd had no instrumentality, aside
from tier own telenta, to cause recognition.
In spite of thin tHct, however, she quickly
achieved a warm place in the heart of Uie
public, wh.o.i she has cont n ,ed to hold ever
i nice. When it was announced, therefore,
that Mis Maud Granger would star the
coming season in the play "Her hecond
Love,' wr.tton by Nlr. John A. (Steven, it
was only nat iral that umis.ial interest should
be manifes ed i.o. only in theatrical oiril s,
but in oil er br.nclioj of the community.
This as i e3 ally th cne, aa it was known
that Miss (liangrr had, for Uie past year,
been in exreedmgiy delicate health, and the
uet nniuiit on to star in a strong emotional
play wii ti e n, ore surprising. One of the
Ma i o. this ia e. wa accord. nalv demithed
to see the o nlar l.idy and verily the rumor
or anno nice its inooi rei'tnras.
Miss Granger's conntenanoe is familiar to
nearly evei y one in the United Btates. It is
a face onco seen never to be forgotten.
Features re;narknble in their outline and
contour aie surmounted by a pair of large
and deep i yes indicative of the greatest soul
power, tt is easy to see where Miss Granger
obtains the ability to portray characters of
the most emotional nature. She possesses
within herself Uie elemeuts of feeling, with
out which no emotion osn be oonveyed to
an audience. The man of news found the
lady at her home in this city, and was ac
corded a quiet welcome. It was evident at
once that she was in greatly improvod
health, which the expression and ooloro flier
countenance both indicated.
" is it true, Miss Granger, that you con
template a starring tour the coming season?"
" Vf s indeed. My season begins in Chi
cago on J uly 16. from thi re 1 go to Ban
Fruuoisco, nnd then piny the remainder of
the season through the Eastern and West
ern States."
" Are you confident your health will per.
rnit such an undertaking ?'
A ringing laugh was the first reply to this
question, after which she said:
"Certainly. It is true I have been ill for
the pant two years, but now I am wholly re
covered. Few people con have any idea of
ihe strain a conscientious ootress undergoes
in essaying an emotional part. It is neces
sary to put one's whole soul into the work
in order to rightly portray the character.
This necessitates an utter abandonment of
one's j ersonality and an assumption of the
charno'.er portrayed. If this is an emo
tional part it is necessary to feel the en rue
emotions the part is supposed to feel. For
more than a year I actually cried each night
in certain passages of a part I was playing.
The audience considered it art. Probably
it was, but those were none the less real
(ears and the effect wai none the lo8 trying
npon my health."
"But do you anticipate avoiding this in
the future?''
"Hot in the least. I expert to have just
as great a strain as before, but with restored
health and a knowledge of how to retain it
I do not fear."
"You speik of a 'knowledge of how to re
tain health.' Will you please explain what
you mean by that?''
"Von must be aware that women by their
very natures a e sub.'eot to troubles nnd
afflictions unknown to the sterner sex. The
naino of these tioubles is legion, but in
whataver form they may come they are
weaknesses which interfere with every ambi
tion and hope in life. I believe thousands
of noble women are to-day suffering agonies
of which even the r best friends and rela
tives know little or nothing, and when I re
flect upon it I oonfe s it makes me sad. Now
all this misery arises largely from an ignor
ance of the laws of life or a noglect to care
fully observe them. 1 speak from the depths
of a bitter experience in saying this, and I
am thankful 1 know the means of restora
tion, and how to remain in perfect health."
" Please explain more fully."
"Well, I have found a remedy which seems
specially adapted for this very purpose. It
is pure and palatable and controls the health
and life as, I beliove, nothing else will. It is
really invaluable and if all the women in
America were to nse it I am quite sure most
of the suffering and many deaths might be
avoiuea. '
' What is this wonderful remedy?"
"Warner's Safe Cure."
" And you nee it ?"
"Constantly."
" And hence believe yon will be able to aa
inrougn me coming season snccesstully."
" I am quite certain of it."
"A few questions more, Miss Granger
Will you nUaie trive me a list of tho tiarU
you have created and the plays you have
taken part in since your first appearance iu
public ?"
"I first played for some time with the
amateurs in New x ork and Brooklyn. I then
went to the Union Square theatre for two
seasons, after that to the Boston Globe for
one season nnd then to Booth's theatre in
this city. Next I supported John MoCullongh
and afterwards starred in Juliet, C.imille,
Kosalind, etc. Subsequently I created the
part of Cicely Blaine in the 'Galley Slave' and
also starred in 'Two Nights in Rome,' playing
tne pare ot Antonia. I lie past year 1 have
been playing in the 'Planter's Wife' and the
coming season, as I have fad, will be devoted
to xier oeoonu ixve.
As the writer was returning home he fell
into a train of mnsinz and wondered if nil
the women in this land who nre suffering
could only know Miss Granger's experience
and the remarkable results achieved by the
pure remedy she Ufol, how much suffering
might be avoided and how mach happiness
secureo.
