HANDLING s'OA'cONSTRICTORS.
The Trick by ,eric'h, the, Serpents Ara
Managed \‘Vithont Danger.
Snake dealers in South America have
a fine contempt for their squirming and
venomous wares, though it is sometimes
difficult to induce ship captains _to
carry them as freight. '
The snake dealers handle the boa. con-
strictor with'great deftness. This ser-
pent bites, but its bite is not veno‘
mous, so that the chief danger to the
handler is from the serpent’s enormous-
ly powerful muscles. The dealers have
learned that the boa, to be really dan-
gerous, must have a fulcrum in the
shape of something around which he
may coil his tail. ' ‘ ' . -
The boa is, in fact, a lever in which
the ordinary arrangement is power,
weight, fulcrum. [Knowing this,” the
. dealers drop a soft hat over his head,
that he may neither see nor bite, and
then snatch him so; suddenly from his
resting-.placethat he has no opportunity
to brace himself by seizing a fixed Ob-
ject with his tail. After that the essen-
tial thing is to see that he is not brought
within distance of any such Object. '
A Snake dealer on board a Brazilian
steamer the other day was occupied Jig,
transferring his boas from one box to
anOther. He opened the box an instant,
dropped a hat over the head of one of
the creatures, snatched it from its fel—
lOWs, and, rushing across the deck,
dropped it into the other box. The
thing looked so easy that a deck hand,
waiting until the snake OWner’s back
was turned, essayed to repeat the act.
He neglected to use the hat, and with a.
yell yanked a great snake from the box
with its fangs fixed~in his fingers. «Not;
daring to let go, yet fearing to hold on,
he began whirling the snake. about his
head, meanwhile dancing wildly over
the deck.
The snakeman managed to capture
the reptile and box it in security. Then
somebody expressed concern for the
rash deck hand, to which the snake
owner answered:
“What, him? He's all right! But
think of my snake! He’s worth twenty
of that mug!” _

The seed oyster season will open te-
morrow, and oyster boats are getting
in readiness for work. ' So far the nat—
ural beds are in good condition, there
havinghbeen no storms to injure them
or cause the bottom to shift and bury
the seed. . Recently when the West In-
dia hurricane was predicted, oystermen .
felt somewhat discouraged, as a gale .
from the southeast might in one day
cause damage enough to prevent a suc-
cessful season for them. Another
thing thatpleases the oyster men is the
prospect that buyers will be numerous,
and if this prospect is realized it means
more money for them, for the greater
be number of buyers, the better the
prices are. '

One Dose Cured. Him.
HOTCHKISSVILLE, CONN. , March 13,
1894;——My brother who was here mak-
in; me a visit was suffering with a
‘slight attack of diarrhoea. He took
0:10 dose of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea. Remedy and received
immediate relief. JOHN H. ROBERTS,
535 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Edward
' ' ‘P. Weed, Druggist.‘
desired to put this process to another
test, but never availed' himself of the
OppOrtunity until yesterday. His theo—
I‘ry is that a. corpse can be resuscitated,
’ providing there are no internal injuries,
by placing the entire body. except the
eyes, nose and mouth, ina bath of water
heated to a constant temperature of 110
degrees Fahrenheit, and leaving it there
for at least five hours.
An ordinary bathtub was used yester-
day. When the water had reached the
proper temperature, Dr. Whitney and
his assistants carefully deposited the
body in the tub.
It was then almost eleven O’clock in
the morning, and from that time until
fouro’clock, when the experiment was
given up, the condition of the 'corpse
was studiously watched by Dr.‘ Whit-
.ney.
Although the experiment was a fail-
ure, at times the blood was started to
circulate, and the face and lips assumed
their natural color. It issaid that the
heart was felt to throb several times.
When the test was over Dr. Whitney
claimed it was not successful because
the boy’s body was rolled over a barrel
after the drowning, thus causing inter-
nal injuries.

THE DURANT TRIAL.
No Direct Evidence Yet Produced Again"
the Alleged Murderer.
SAN Fnancrsco, Sept. 9,—During- the
past week little progress was made in the
Durant trial. None of the really impor-
tant witnesses for the, people have been
placed on the stand, and no material points
have yet been made against the defendant.
The'witnesses who have already testified
are merely paving the way. for . those to
follow. While their evidence is important
.in showing that the crime has 4 been com-
mitted it does not point in ~ the remotest
degree, to the murderer. It becomes more
and more apparent that the defense will
More hope will be placed
in breaking the chain of evidence pre‘
sented by the prosecution than in any tes-
timony Durant may give in his own behalf.
The really weighty evidence upon which
" the prosecution depends is to be fur-
nished by three schoolgirls, who saw
Durant on the streetcar with Miss .La-
mont on the day she disappeared; Martin
Quinlan, an attorney who saw the dc.
fendant walking toward Emanuel church
about 4 o’clock with a girl who answers
Blanche Lamont’s description; '- Mrs.
Leak, who from her house opposite the
Emanuel church observed Durant and
Miss Lamont walking into the church by
or side door, and Organist King, who
about 5 O’clock on the same afternoon
" was “Surprised to see Durant staggering
into the library, partially clothed and
disheveled.
If the defense succeeds in breaking
down one of these witnesses, they consider
they will have a fair chance for acquittal.
The prosecution, they say, will have to
provide every one of the links in its chain
of circumstantial evidence.
