A CURRENT item says that the entire police force of Billings, Mont., was ar rested the other day on tho charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The force consists of three men. THE death list of the late congress is not as long as is that of tho last con gress or the one before it. Still the rate is too high. There were fourteen deaths of members during tho Fifty first congress, tho same number during the Fifty-second congress, and eleven deaths during the Fifty-third. There is, it is said, no joke about tho "mala ria" of congressmen. There is bad air, or bad water, or something about the capitol thut kills. THE use of reclaimed rubber by man ufacturers seems to have become a very important one, the price now being very high as compared with former years. A debate has sprung up recent ly as to whether tho bicycle men are using this rubber, says Hardware. Nat urally a manufacturer is not carrying tho secrets of his compounds upon his sleeve, and the discussion of the sub ject is almost fruitless in reaching a truthful decision. That some mechan ical men use reclaimed rubber is in ferred by the price of their goods. Rubber goods composed largely of re claimed have a peculiar odor readily recognized by the dealers.

A State Where the Racer Is Al ways Blue or Bluish. Reeptllcn About Which But Little Is Known to the Average Reader—They Cannot Outrun n Man Except Over Broken Ground. i'n Michigan, writes acorrespondont ot tho American Field, this snake is always blue or dusty bluish, and is therefore called blue racer. Do not understand mo to say that we have no black snakes in Michigan, for that would be an er ror, as we shall describe them later In another gonus; but the common black snnko of Now England and other east ern states becomes the blue-racer in the west. All individuals of this species are blue when small, even in the east, I am informed, and here, till they reach a an engine when ho straightened again, length of 2 feet or a little more; they are of a beautiful bright cerulean hue, and spotted on their sides with black. At what ago the cerulelln racer begins to turn darker and lose his spots I am un ablo to say, but I have captured speci mens 8X feet long, which wore un doubtedly adults, as they had entirely lost their bright blue color and wero putting on tho dusky greenish blue. When the blue racer reaches full size it is brown on tho back, with a faint sug gestion of blue, which, however, is more pronounced just after skin shed ding. Tho sides show a shade of green ish blue and tho under parts a dull bluish white. This variation in color between tho eastern and western B. constrictor is, perhaps, comparable to tho transition in the pelage of the gray squirrel Sciurus Carolinensis (Aud.) which is generally found black in this vicinity. I understand that in Now York state tho two varieties of squir rel Interminglo, and that nests of young have been found containing both va rieties. I havo found this snake almost block here, but never quite so. Tho longest racer I have ever seen, and it was the longest snake I havo measured In Michigan, was 0 feet 4 inches in length. Many that at first sight and when running at full speed looked all of 10 feet long, proved to be only lietween 5 and 0 feet, for when moving quickly over tho ground thoy havo a deceiving appearance. From ,tho time when thoy first appear in tho month of April till well along in tho summer, perhaps all the season, this is to bo found in pairs. The fo malc is the more heavily built of tho two, and generally about 6 inches {longer; tho male being much trimmer and seemingly more active, and aver aging about 00 inches in length. It is 'very interesting to watch the move- DASHING OVEB HUGE DOGS. roents of a pair when out apparently on a foraging expedition, or, perhaps, morely for pleasure.

Thoy keep close together at this time, and generally run neck and neck, and about 5 feet apart. If a racer's nest can bo found, tho snakes may be seen in tho vicinity for yoars. I rocall ono snch habitation In the hollow and roots of a partially dead basswood stump on the banks of a river. Each Bcason In May they could bo found there Bunnlng themselves. The idea generally prevails that a racor can outrun a man, but this belief Is erroneous. A gocd runner can easily run two rods to the blue racer's one, on good levol ground. However, It is rare ly that they are found In these situa tions, for, as a rule, It Is on low, half cleared, Irregular ground that they are seen, and to chase an adult In such quarters roqulres some activity, as a racer dashes through brush and bogs and over logs a foot and a half through as If they wero nothing.

At {the three-quarter post tho broncho stopped to buck, and the gaunt white horse came under the wire an easy winner.

How Frlcklea Mad* a Living for a Shrewd Tenueiseean. Jack Landsdow, of Dyer county, has struck a piece of unprecedented good luck. Early one morning last week he picked up a hatohet and started out to the woodpile for the purpose of cutting his wife some kindling. As he stepped from tho kitchen door he was surprised to see a large hemlock porcupine climb ing a treo about ten feet from tho door, says a Trimble (Tenn.) correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Landsdow had often heard that if a porcupine's tail is cut off while in the act of climb ing it will stop and refuse to climb higher or descend. As tho prickly little animal was only about four feet from the ground Jack had no difficulty in springing forward and with a quick blow of the hatchet severing the tail of the porcupine ID CUTTING OFF 1118 TAIL. twain. Sure enough, the animal stopped its ascent and has remained in that position since. A porcupine is rarely ever seen in this part of the country, and is therefore quite a curi osity to Tennesseeans. Jack's neigh bors soon heard of the porcupine and began coming to see it. Landsdow could see no reason why he should not make some money out of the thing, so he placed a twelve-foot board, peep tight, fonco around it, and began charging 10 cents admission, ne has been making several dollars a day with his prize, and on Sunday ho collected *4.10. Tho animal hrs become perfectly used to the crowd, and readily eats and drinks from its master's hands. Lands dow says he would cut off a section of the tree with tho porcupine on it and carry the animal around and exhibit it but for the fact that it is on a valuable shade tree, and that tho porcupine may not bo able to hold on much longer. At present, though, it looks as chipper as it did before it lost its caudal append age. THREE GEORGIA YARNa How Mrs. Lows Was Surprised ly a Trio of Buzzards. Mr. Charley Willingham, in having his well cleaned at Marietta, got out of it a live reptile about eight inches long resembling a young alligator, but its head looked like a catfish. It had four feet and a long, sharp-pointed tail, which it could twist liko a snake would its appendage. Its skin was dark and slick and dotted over with small yellow spots. At Hawkinsville, while Mrs. A. A. Lowe was busily engaged with her domestic affairs, she heard, or thought she heard, somebody knocking at the door. Thinking perhaps that some of the neighbors had called she did not take time to go to the door, but invited them "to come in." Failing to get a re sponse she repeated the invitation in a louder voice, as it appeared she was un heard. But still she got no reply save the continued knocking. Finally she came to the conclusion that whoever it was was as deaf and dumb aB an oyster, and she hastened to the door and opened It. When sho did so she was surprised to sec a trio of buzzards, one sitting in a chair and tho other two on a bench, industriously pecking away at some bones that had been thrown out for the dogs. liesaca has a prodigy in the way of a little child, only three years old.

"We have 15,010 mutilated and worn silver dollars in our vaults," said a sub treasury official. "We also have over 500,000 half-dollars, quarter and dime pieces which have become too thin for use. It is a curious thing that the mu tilated dollars which wo receive from Texas are deeply indented. This is a result of target practice in Texas The crack shots down there think that a sil ver dollar is the best kind of a mark. Do we give a good dollar for a mutil ated one? That depends on the extent Of the mutilation. We have a discre tionary power in this respect." FIERCE FAMILY FIGHT. The Entente Cordiale Disturbed by a Little Kitten. Dog and Bird War Against the Cat Until the Bird Was Strangely Disabled by Having Ills Toe Canght In a Needle. Mrs. Anderson, living near Opelousas, La., owns a canary bird and a little white poodle dog. The bird's name is Bob and the poodle's is Gyp, and the two have been fast friends since their early youth, a period dating back some four or five years. In fact, the two were raised together, one might say, and have beon inseparable companions. Every morning when Gyp wakes up, which is usually very early, he stands under Bob's cage and whines until the door is opened and his little friend is released for the day. They take their breakfast from the same plate frequent ly, Bob pecking his egg and potato on one side while Gyp gnaws his bono on the other. When Gyp is given his plunge in the big bathtub Bob sits on the edge of it and sings him his merriest roundelay, and when Bob's turn comes, and he takes his dip in a saucer, the poodle frolics about, delighted with the little shower which the bird sprinkles from his fluttering wings. After this they sun themselves in the big bay window till they are quite warm and dry, and then begins their day's work of chasing flies or "playing tag," as Mrs. Anderson calls it, when Bob gives Gyp a sharp peck with his bill, and then hops up and is away before the little dog lias time to spring to his feet. No friends could have been happier together than these two until a few weeks since, when there appeared upon the scene of their joys a little white and black kitten which had been given to Mrs. Anderson by an acquaintance who knew her fondness for pets. Mrs. Anderson tried every means in her power to induce Gyp and Bob to share their friendship with the kitten, which she christened Fanny, but in vain. They eyed her askance from the start, and, as Fanny herself made no concili atory advances, it soon became war to 'the knife. Fanny first sniffed at Gyp, whereupon he snapped back at her and tumbled her over on the floor, Bob dipped down into the melee and pecked Che kitten on the head. . This ended matters, and Mrs. Ander son took the kitten out, giving orders that she was to bo kept in the kitchen (and never again allowed to enter the (room where Bob *y&s.

The cat, of course, made a straight dive for Bob, who was equal to the emergency, however, and was out of reach in a moment. But Gyp was still "in it." lie "walked into" pussy at such a lively rate that his tresses and her fur soon mingled together in the air as the two rolled over and over on the floor. Now, this sort of thing did not suit Bob at all. Fearing that Gyp might be getting the worst of it, he flew down from his perch of safety and hovered over the rolling ball of wool and fur f Jscreoching and screaming in his shrill .little voice, striking a rap with his beak 'whenever the cat came on top. Finally ,Gyp and Fanny stood up against a sew ling machine and beat each other about .lustily. Meanwhile Bob, flitting around ;above, by chance set. his tiny claw [under the foot of the machine, and a sudden move of the cat and dog below 'turned the treadle, driving the needle quite through the bird's middle tod and pinning him fast. Bob's fluttering and screeching in this defenseless condition diverted Gyp lrom his antagonist below, but what could the poor follow do? Being weighty of body and far from nimble at best with his little short legs, he could only stand up on his hind feet and yap his sympathy. But the sly Fanny, seeing a chance to improve her opportunities, sprang upon tho ma chine, and in another moment would have pounced upon poor Bob and made an end of him, <had not the gardener rushed in at tho nick of time. The kitten was at once sent away, never U return. Blind Man Follows the Hound*. In Delaware county, Pa., one of the few places in this country where fox hunting is a regular sport, one of tho most enthusiastic hunters is Mr. Kirk, who is totally blind. He follows the hounds in an open wagon, accompanied by his driver, and the baying of tho hounds is music to his ears. Recently, while out driving, he came across a pack of hounds in full cry after a fox. The men in tho wagon started in pur suit, Mr. Kirk designating the roads to follow, and after three hours' chase tho dogs caught the fox. A few min utes later the hunting party rode up, *nd all decided that tho brush be> longed to Mr. Kirk, the blind man. CUT BARGAINS! In Every Department!
