BAGGING DEADLY SNAKES.
A MAN WHO HAS BEEN AT IT FOB
TEAKS AND 8 TILL LIVES.
Catching nttlesnake to Soil to
Showmen John Gcor's "Ways
Fact About Rattlesnakes.
The demand for rattlesnakes for mu
seums, mcDagerics, side shows and for
exhibition at agricultural fairs in the
Urge country towns is yearly on the in
crease and is evidence that, in spite of the
repulsive appearance of the reptiles,
there is something about them that is
certain to attract attention and which in
duces the showman to pay well for fine
specimens for exhibition. Among the
persons engnged in capturing these
snakes to supply this demand none have
been more successful than John Gccr, of
Long Eddy, N. Y., who has been known
to ship as many as fifty-four at one time,
and who once received an order from
Cincinnati for 100 for one person.
Catching rattlesnakes is by no means
a Tcry dithcultor dangerous occupation,
though it may seem to be so to those un
acquainted with the habits of reptiles,
and who only think of them with a shud
der at tho thought of a bite from fans
which contain so deadly a poison. Armed
simply with a stick five or six feet long,
to one end of which is attached an iron
hook, and another stick about one-half
ns long, to one end of which is tied a
good stout cord, the loose end of which
terminates in a loop-slipping noose, and
accompanied by an assistant carrying a
bag or sack, the rattlesnake catcher is
ready for work, lie repairs upon a
warm day in spring to the "dens" in
search of snakes. T he "dens" are spots
upon the barrens of loose stone or open
ings under ledges of rocks, through
which the reptiles crawl to their winter
quarters, and to which they go on tho
lirst appearance of cold weather in the
fall and remain till the turn of warm
weather in the spring.
When first recalled to conscious life by
the appearance of warm weather these
snakes crawl to the open air. at first
carefully shielding themselves from the
direct rays of the sun and becoming
gradually used to the light and heat by
keeping for a few days under the edge
of the stones or in the crevices of the
recks. After lying about the dens in a
Bemi-torpid condition for several days,
and having regained their normal condi
tion after their long winter's sleep in un
dergound darkness, they start out on
their summer's tour in search of food.
While thus lying dumpishly about the
den the snake-catcher takes advantage of
their lethargic condition. With his hook
he draws them out from their comfort
able quarters, and hastily slipping the
noose over their heads drops tliem into
the bag, which is held open by his as
sistant. With a knife he cuts the
string as near the animal's head as safety
will warrant, and then fixing another
noose, is ready for more snakes. In this
manner sometimes twenty or thirty, or
even more, may be caught in one day.
They seldom strugglo in tho bag and
never try to bite. Seeming to under
stand that they are powerless they wil
lingly submit to the inevitable. John
(Jeer has been known to throw over his
shoulders a bug containing sixteen large
rattlesnakes and carry them without fear
of injury.
The writer once saw Mr. Oeer empty
two bags full of snakes (thirty-two in
number, the catch of a couple of hours'
work with two assistants), into a large
box. It was a warm day and they had
been carried some distance. The close
confinement and jolting to which they
had been subjected irritated and mad
dened them so that as soon as they found
themselves in comparative liberty on the
bottom of the box they began using their
fangs freely, biting in all directions.
Those standing near expected to see the
bitten snakes swell up and die from the
effects of the poison, but were assured
by Mr. Geer that they would not. This
proved to be the case. Not one of them
seemed to be affected in the least. Either
their skins are impervious to teeth or
else (as is the case with the flesh of the
hog) their fangs cannot penetrate deep
enough to reach the tissues and they
thus escape the effects of the poison.
The number of rattles is generally sup
posed to indicate the age of the snake,
a year being ullowed for each one. But
they frequently lose them and it is no
uncommon occurrence to find a very
large snake with but few rattles and
sometimes with none, and in a like man
ner a comparatively small one with a
large number.
liy many persons it is supposed that
the black rattlesnake is the female and
tne yeiiow trie male, lsut color is no
distinction of sex. The rattlesnake
travels by night as well as by day, and
in the course of tho season frequently
gets several miles irom its aen.to which,
however, it invariably returns on tho
lirst appearance of cold weather, unless
it has been disturbed there, and then it
seeks other quarters.
The rattlesnake swims with great ease,
floating lightly upon the water with its
rattles held up to keep them from get
ting wet. It is generally supposed that
the rattlesnake cannot climb, but one was
killed a few years since upon a beam in
a tannery at least ten feet from the
ground.
Bnukes are frequently found around
deserted buildings, barns, outhouses, and
indeed iu the cellars of inhabited dwell
ings where, if they are allowed to re
main, they will as thoroughly rid the
premises of rats and mire as would the
best eat and in much less time. They
are not pleasant joint occupants of a
house, however, as Mrs. Hawks, of Ten
Mile lUver, found to her sorrow when
she put her hand into the pork barrel for
a piece of meat and got a bite from a large
rattlesnake instead.
Rattlesnakes feed on rats, mice, squir
rels, birds, frogs, toads and rabbits, and
in lying in wait for their prey exhibit a
natienxe tliat would be a credit to Job
They seldom bite, even when they have
an opportunity, unless irritated or trod
den upon. They cannot strike unless
coiled or partiallv so, oud euiiuot reach
more thajB one-halt or two-thiida their
length.

Among the people living in the coun

great repute for the cure of car-ache,
deafness, stiff joints and Tarious other
ills, and sells readily at f 1.00 per ounce,
while their gall preserved in chalk is re
garded as an excellent remedy for a fever.
No remedy for their poisonous bite is
known to the medical fraternity, and it
is generally regarded as incurable, though
an occasional cure is effected by tho lib
eral use of whisky. Aw York World,
A Queer Talr of Smiths.
The difficulty of meeting tho dietetic
requirements of certain pets reminds mo
of another pair of lizards that in turn in
habited the bell glass. These were
brought from Brazil, and introduced to
me by the name of Taiaquira Hmith. An
i or two should terminate and dignify
the latter name, to commemorate the par
ticular Smith who bestowed it on Tarra
quira ; but Smith is simple and practical :
and the Tarraquira Smiths wathe name
of my two little Brazilians lizards. The
smaller one measured about eight inches
from the snout to the tip of his slender
tail; tho larger one was ten or more
inches in length. They arc, however,
less agreeable to bundle than the previ
ous pets, their tails being armed with
very tinely-pointed sharp scales in whorls.
The lizards seem to know how to use this
long tail protectively, having acquired a
habit of retrogression, and, when held,
of backing out of the hand, as if with
the intention of pricking or inconvenien
cing you with these! sharp spines, which
are thus converted into weapons of de
fence. When persistently held or de
tained, the pricking effect cansed by this
backward motion is by no means ogree
able. For food, they were provided with
a supply of a peculiar kind of cockroach
which infested the reptile house at the
Zoological Gardens of London, near
which I happened to reside; but my two
littlo foreigners persistently declined
them and "any other equally tempting
food. Indeed, the poor little Smiths
were in such a feeble condition from ex
posure to cold during their transfer from
the ship to their glass home that the
smaller one soon died , Cutmbert' Jour

Life lu a Planet.
Some time ago it was observed that, sit
uated at each pole of Mars there is a white
patch which increases and doerea-es at
regular intervals. This hod been observed
for many years before tho explanation
was suggested by llerschel, that it was
due to the freezing of tho sea, and was
exactly analogous to our Arctic and Ant
arctic oceans. If this was truo, the patch
of ice would of rourso decrease in the
martial summer and increase again as the
winter came on. This was soon shown
to be a fact. Thus we see that as far
as regards the sea, Mars is very similar
to our earth, with the exception that tho
proportion of land is much larger. On
the earth the land is enly about one-third
of the area of the sea; while on Mars tho
land and 6ea surfarcs seim to bo about
equal in extent. Tho land is much cut
up by the water, which exists not so
much in the form of a lew largo oceans,
but ratherus a Dumber of curious-shaped,
narrow inlets and channels, which inter
sects the continents iu nil directions.
The bright red color of the land is a cu
rious fact, for which no adequate explan
ation his as yet been suggested.
Ilcrschel c onsidered it was due to the pe
culiar nature of the toil; but it certainly
seems curious that in this point Mars
should differ from all tho other planets.
The appearance of the earth seen from a
similar distance would probably be a
diity green, or perhaps brown, in fact,
on the eaith we have no soil or rock.
which occurs in any rjuantity. of the red
color which we observe on Mars. There
is therefore no vegetation, unless we
adopt the curious theory, advanced by
a French savant, that in Mars tho folinge
is red. Unluckily, we have no instru

telescope and spectroscope are alike use
less, ond for the present we must content

Wanted Both Killed.
A railroad trial story is tld in this
wise. Two passengers appeal to the
conductor; one wants a window cash up
and the other insists on keeping it down.
Says .No. Two: "If that window is not
shut it will be tho death of me, for I'm
about perished with cold now ;" and to
that No. Oue replies: "If tho window
is shut I'il smother iu the foul air of this
car." When the conductor looked
around in a sorely puzzled soit of way,
passenger in u rear si at tailed out:
'Conductor, liio e two fellows have bier
growling about that window for riftj
miles, hud now I hope fur the pence, unit
i oiufoit of the train you'll keep the win
dow open long enough to kill one and
then shut it long enough to smother the
other."
A CUTS SEWING GIRLS,
SEAMSTRESSES AND THEIR SMALL
WAGES IN NEW YORK.
Working Long Hour for a Pitt ance
Work Thejr Do, and tho Price
They Get.
As a rule seamstresses on men's wear
receive the least pay, according to the
fineness of the work and tho extreme
care bestowed upon it, though work on
some women's garments is illy enough
paid. The large tailor and manufactur
ing establishments give all their work
outside, and it is curiously divided up.
Some women receive tho-e parts th:it re
quire special basting. The cutter cuts
out so many coats and with them all the
linings, buckram and velvet which are
necessary, and these are graded in a meth
odical manner and each size placed by
itself. In some cases men do the stitch
ing of the scams, but generally women
do that. Then they are all given to the
pressors and then to the bastcrs. From
them they go to the liners, after which
they are scut to the finishers and the but
tonhole makers. They are afterward
given to those who sew on tho buttons,
and then others take out the bastings,
after which the pressors again have them,
and finally the inspector orders the tick
ets and little silk patch with the firm's
name sewn on. Thus ten persons work
on each coat. Each part of work is
done on a dozen coats and each
dozen as soon as finished is fastened to
gether and returned. When the work is
returned it is inspected, and if the least
imperfection is discerned the mistake
must be rectified. Tho cutter and inspec
tor aro well paid, but thoso who do the
work piecemeal only earn about thirty
five to forty cents a day, working con
stantly and giving half a day to take the
work and get more. In one tenement
house lives a woman who supports her
self and three small children by finish
ing gentlemen's fine overcoats. She
hems the satin linings and sews in the
sleeve linings and the velvet collar and
puts in several stays, in all setting from
eight to ten thousand stitches on each,
and earns at most thirty-five cents a day.
Out of this she pays $5 a month for rent.
She works'Sundays too. She sends her
babies to a kindergarten, where they are
fed, but in the summer the school is
closed, and how she lives and keeps them
in clothes and fire none but those who
live in tho same way know. Just now
another woman with ono child is sharing
her room and her rent, which relieves her
a little. The man she obtains work from
has a factory, also a fine tailoring estab
lishment, and the class of work these
women do is for overcoats which cost forty
and fifty dollars. Allowing each of the ten
workers on each coat ten cents for what she
does, and the cutter and inspector each
fifty cents, the cost of making a man's
fine overcoat is about two dollars. Many
manufacturers give all their work to con
tractors after it is cut out, and they in
turn give it out in small parcels to the
poor women who do it, and to make
money themselves grind them down to
the very lowest figure. Other contractors
take in large quantities of work, and
then hire hands in their own work-room
and set them to work there. When the
work requires machine stitching they
allow the girls the use of machines,
charging them so much a day for the use
of thepi, and they pay by the piece
always. Some of tho work is ot the
cheapest quality and some of it again of
the richest nnd finest, but however it is
the girl's pay remains about the same,
just enough to keep body and soul to
gether while living in the most squalid
manner. Thero are immense quantities
of this work done in the poorer houses in
the city by the mothers of families who
cannot leave their littlechildren. In cases
of contagious diseases the work goes on
just the same, and the germs of sickness
can be carried in the fine coat of the
society man. Where the girls or women
can leave and go into stores or factories
they have a chance to earn more money,
but on tailoring the pay is cruelly small.
There are several places where shrewd
men have bought up a number of old.se w
ing machines, and these they either rent
or sell to those who have none, and take
their pny in work. For an old machine
not worth $10 they will make these un
fortunate poor pay from $30 to $50 in
work at starvation prices. " The work
they give is usually men's common
drawers and overalls and jumpers, as
well as tho commonest calico shirts.
And they earn the gratitude of these un
fortunate women by only retaining half
the price of tho work toward the pay
ment of these machines each week.
Sometimes it takes two years to pay for
a ramshackle old machine that these men
have bought up for a few dollars, and
by the time they get it paid for it is good
for nothing at all. Meu's shirts are some
times made by giving out lots of a dozen
or so to those who can make them com
plete, but generally they are given
out piecemeal. For instance a
dozen pair of wristbands and those
littlo flaps which go at tho bottom
of the bosoms, the yokes, and then the
sleeves and bands together, and finally
tho bosom, then the body and at last the
finishing: off. The swiftest nnd neatest
sewer on bands and flaps, with the aid of
a first-class machine, can make at home
about fifty cents a day, from early morn
ing to 10 at night. Those who do the
fells and bodies, in short the other work,
earn on an average about the same with
the aid of their machines. The shirts
when all done but "finishing" require
four gussets.six buttonholes and five but
tons, and this work is given out in large
quantities to women in tenement houses.
'J'hey are paid for the common ones seven
cents a dozen shirts, and for the finest
shirts nine to nine and a half cents a
dozen shirts forty-eight gussets, sixty
buttons and seventy-two buttonholesl

Tarred Floors.
Pome months ago the floors of many
Austrian garrisons were painted with
tar, and the results have proved so uni
formly udvuntageous that the method is
becoming greatly extended in its appli

is thus preveuted, and a consequent dim
inution in irritative diseases of the eye
has been noted. Cleaning of the rooms
lias been greatly facilitated, and para
sites are almost completely excluded.

A great many people are afflicted with ca

Thickening of the membrane which lines
the nasal passages, thus making breathing
difficult; a discharge from the nostrils, more
or less copious, watery or thick, according1 to
the stage of the disease; a sens of fullness In
the head; a constant inclination to spit; and,
In advanced cases, a dropping of intensely dis
gusting matter into the throat, are a few of
the prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
Deafness, Inflamed eyes, nenralglo pains,
ore throat and a loss of sense of smell are
very often caused by Catarrh.
All these troubles are cured by Plso's Rem

after beginning its use, but It is Important
that it be continued without Interruption until
the catarrhal virus Is expelled from the sys
tem and healthy secretions replace the dis
eased action of the mucous membrane. Man
ifestly it Is unreasonable to expect a care in a
short time of a disease that has been progress
ing for months or years.
This question of time is provided for in the
putting up of Plso's Remedy for Catarrh. It Is
so concentrated that a very small dose is di
rected. The quantity In one package Is suffi
cient for a long treatment, consequently the
expense is a mere trifle, and there Is no excuse
