THE FEAR 'OF SNAKES.
Why Many Children nnclSome Grown Pom
sons Dislike Them.
There are many authenticated in-
stances of children becoming attached to
snakes and making pets of them. The
solution Of' a question of this kind is
sometimes to be found in the child mind.
My experience is that when young chil-
dren see this creature its strange ap-
pearance and manner of progression, so
unlike those of oth-rc animals known to
them, afi‘ect t‘ 1em with amazement and
a sense of myst cry and that they fear it
just as they would fear any other strange
thing. Monkeys are doubtless afl’ected
in much the same way although in a
state Of nature, where they inhabit for-
ests abounding with the larger constrict-
ors and venomous tree snakes, it is high-
ly probable .that they also possess a tra-
ditional fear of the serpent form. It
would be strange if they did not.
The experiment of presenting a caged
monkey with a serpent carefully wrapped
up in a newspaper and watching his be-
havior when he gravely opens the par-
-cel, expecting to fine nothing more
wonderful than the familiar sponge-
:ake or succulent banana—well, such
an experiment has been recorded in
half a hundred important scientific
works, and out of respect to one’s mas-
ters one ought to endeavor not to smile
when reading it. A third view might
be taken which would account for our
feeling toward the serpent without ei-
ther instinct or tradition. Extreme fear
of all ophidians might simply result from
a' vague knowledge of the fact that some
' kinds are venomous: that, in .some rare
cases, death follows swiftly on their
bite, and that, not being sufficiently in-
telligent to distinguish the noxious from
the innocuous—at all events while un-
der the domination of a sudden, violent
emotion—we destroy them all alike,
thus adopting Herod‘s rough and ready
method of ridding his city of one incon-x
venient babe by a 'general slaughter of
innocents.
It might be objected that in Europe,
where «animosity to the serpent is great—
est, death from snake bite is hardly to be
feared; that Fontana’s 6.000 experiments
with the viper, showing how small is the
amount of venom possessed by this Spe-
cies, how rarely it has the power to de-
stroy human life, have been before the
world for a century. And although it
must be admitted that Fontana’ s work
is not in the hand of every peasant, the
fact remains that death from snake bite
is a rare thing in Europe, probably not
more than one losing his life from this
cause for every 250 who pe1 ish by hydro-
phobia, of all forms of death the most
terrible. Yet while the sight of a snake
excites 1n a majority of persons the most
violent emotions, dogs are universal fa-
vorites, and we have them always with
us and make pets of them in spite of the
knowledge that they may at any time
become rabid and inflict that unspeaka-
bly dreadful suffering and destruction
on us. '
This leads to the following question:
Is it not at least probable that our ex-
cessive fear of the serpent, so unworthy
of us as rational beings, and the cause of
so much unnecessary cruelty,- is partlp
at all events, a result of our'superstitious
fear of sudden death? For there exists,
we know, an exceedingly widespread de-
lusion that the bite of a. venomous ser-
pent must kill and kill quickly. Com-
pared with such ophidian monarchs as
the bushmaster, fer de lance, hamadry-
ad and tic polonga, the viper of Europe
—the poor viper of many experiments
and much (not too readable) literature—
may be regarded as almost harmless—at
all events not more harmful than the
hornet. Nevertheless, in this cold, north-
ern world, even as in the other worlds
wheie nature elaborates more potent
juices, the delusion prevails and may be
taken into account here, although its
origin cannot now be discussed. For my
own part I am inclined to believe that
we regard serpents witha destructive ‘
hatred purely and simply because we are
so taught from childhood. —Macmillan’ 3

Making the Most of His Chances.
The family tutor was invited to a
grand dinner party by his employers
and surveyed with intense satisfaction
the half dozen wineglasses arranged in
front of his plate. The footman came
round with the wine. The young man
presented the smallest of the glasses. _
“It is vin ordinaire,” observed the
waiter.
“Ah, precisely,” replied our ascetic
philosopher. “I am reserving the larger
glasses for the finer sorts. ”—Chronique

In Favor of the Unconditional Re-
peal of the Purchase Clause.
The Work :of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.‘-—Im1nediately
after the reading of the journal in the
house today, Mr. Meiklejohn (Rep., Neb.)
asked unanimous consent for the consid-
eration of a resolution requesting the sec-
retary of the treasury to communicate to
the house certain information relating to
the purchase and coinage of silver under
the Sherman law.
Mr. Tracey (Dem. ., 1..Y ) suggested that
the gentleman could obtain the informa-
tion by addressing a note to the secretary,
but he made no objection, and the resolu-
tion was adopted.
The silver debate was then resumed,
Mr. McCall (Rep., Mass.) speaking in fa.-
vor of repeal. He said that he agreed
with the opponents of the bill that bimet-
allism and monometallism were at issue,
but the cause of bimetallism was repre-
sented by the friends of repeal. A con-
tinuance of the policy of buying silver
upon the silver standard, and this would
practically demonetize gold.
Under the operation of the act of 1890
the government had lost nearly $100, 000, 000
of gold, and under a continuance of the act
the day could not be distant when it would
be unable to redeem in that metal. The real
question at issue was one of standards. It
would be madness, when the whole of the
civilized and a large part of the heathen
world had stopped the coinage of silver,
for the United States to make that metal
its standard of value.
Bryan Attacks the Message.
Mr. McCall was followed by Mr. Coombs
of New York. thile speaking for the re-
peal of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act he referred to notes and thereby
broke the natural flow of his eloquence.
Mr. Bryan (Dem., Neb.) followed Mr.
Coombs and attacked the president’s mes-
sage in vigorous terms. The recommenda-
tions of the president meant the burial of
silver, with no promise of resurrection.
They were an argument for the single gold
standard. They led to gold monometals
don hope, all ye who enter here."
Before Mr. Bryan concluded, the inter-
est, which at first was intense, perceptibly
waned,i'and the discussion afterward be-
came listless.
At the request of Representative Bland
of Missouri Mr. Preston, the acting dio
rector of the mint, sent to the house tOday
a statement showing the number of grains
of standard silver in the dollar at the fol.
lowing ratio: Seventeen to 1, 458.40; 18 to
1, 464.40; 19 to 1, 490.20, and at 20 to '1, 518.
In the Senate. '
_ Among the petitions presented in the
senate was one from Cass county, Ind. “It
was directed, ” said Mr. Voorhees, 1n pre-
senting it, “against the manifold iniqui-
ties of the present civil service, in which
petition I heartily concur.’ .
Mr. Manderson (Rep. , Neb.) introduced
two bills which, he said, had been prepared
and sent to him by a gentleman of finan-
cial ability and which were read by their
titles and re.erred to the finance commit<
tee. The titles are:
Directing the purchase of silver bullion
and the issuance of treasury notes there-
for, and for the appointment of a. mint
commission.
Providing for the issue of treasury notes,
their redemption, and for other purposes.
Mr. Morrill (Rep, Vt.) gave notice that
as he intended to leave the city soon he
would address the senate on Monday next
on the Vest bimetallic resolution very
briefly.
Mr. Quay (Rep, Pa.) oflfered a resolution
(which was agreed to) directing the archi-
tect of the capitol to examine forthwith
the government property known as the
Maltby building, and to report whether
the structure is secure and can be occupied
with safety to life and property. He said
that facts developed before the committee
on public buildings and grounds showed
the necessity for the examination.
Polluted the Capitol.
In connection with the Maltby building
and other buildings in Washington occu-
pied by the government, Mr. Vest (Dem.,
Mo.) said that public documents were
piled up on the first floor of the Maltby
building to such an enormous weight as
to be pulling it down. The folding room
of the senate and the Maltby building con-
tained now over 11,000 volumes belonging
to senators, a, large portion of which would
never be called for, and congress was con.
tinuing to order, needlessly, the printing
of books and documents at enormous ex-
nse. ’
The old fetid smell of decaying paper in
the folding room of the senate affected the
whole capitol and was polluting the air
all the time.
Mr. Hoar (Rep, Mass.) suggested the
propriety 01' 111.-_nishing all surplus books
and documents printed by order of con-
gress to public librarie’s in the states, and
in furtherance of that idea a. resolution
was offered by Mr. Butler (Dem., S. C.) div
recting the sergeant-at-arms of the senate
to distribute to public libraries in the
United States all public documents found
on hand and not claimed by senators on
Sept. 15 next.
No action was taken on the resolution,
but Mr. Vest argued in favor of the pas-
sage of a bill appropriating $300,000 for a
site and building to be known as the hall
of records.
The Currency Increase. '
Notice was given by Mr Voorhees, chair-
man of the finance committee, that he
would not ask action'todsy on the bill to
allow national banks to increase their cir-
culation to the par value of the bonds de-
posited by them, but that he would do so
tomorrow.
Thereupon an amendment to that bill
was offered by Mr. Cockrell (Dem., Mo.)
'authorizing the secretary. of the treasury
to redeem (at par and accrued interest)
such of the 2 per cent bonds as may be
presented for redemption, and to pay for
them in new legal tender notes. .
This propositic‘m appear-eats Mr. Shep
man (Rep-v 0-) ”unwise and un‘business-
like, and he stated the objections which
occurred to him against the antendment.
This precipitated a discussion 111 Which

porter of national banks and the great.

Mr. Berry (Dem. Ark.) then addressed
the senate in advocacy of the double stand-
11rd of gold and silver. x
THE AN TISILVER MEN.
They Count an Impregnable Majority of
TWenty-seven In the House.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.-The executive
committee of the antisilver forces in the
house, appointed at the conference last
night, held a meeting today for consulta-
tion. A poll of the house has been prac-
tically completed by the canvassers in the
interest of the antisilver faction, which is
said by one of the leaders to show an im-
pregnable majority of 27 in favor of un-
conditional repeal of the purchasing clause
as provided' in the \Vilson bill.
There is substantial agreement of opin‘
ion among the silver and antisilver lead-
ers as to what 15 to be the real test of the
strength of the two parties on the several
quest-ions to be voted on at the close of the
present debate. but a wide divergence ex-
ists as to the number of votes that will be
cast by the two sides thereon.
Mr. Harter estimates that if the house
successfully passes what he calls the dan-
'ger point of the vote on free coinage at a.
ratio Of 20 to 1 the majority of the Wilson
bill, which will present the naked question
of repeal or no repeal, will be 100 ormore.
On the other hand, Mr. Bland says there
are representatives who may vote against
the coinage of silver at any specified ratio
who will not vote to wholly abolish the
use of silver as a money metal, which
would be the effect, he says, of the passage
of the Wilson bill. "If there are any reps
resentatives from a silver district who
would thus vote,” said Mr. Bland, “they
had better make terms with the adminis-
tration. for they cannot do it with their
poop pl.e ”
Mr. Harter’ s doubt as to the result of
the vote on the proposition to coin silver
at a ratio of 20 to 1 is said to be due to in—
formation conveyed to the antisilver exec-
utive committee that there are upward of
40 Republicans who will vote for establish,
ing coinage at that ratio.
Mr. Bland, however, believes that the
ratio of 16 to 1 will be stronger in the house
than any other, despite the reported 40 Re-
publican votes for 20 to 1.
Fourth Class Postmasters.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—-The total num-
ber of fourth class postmasters appointed
today was 68, of which 29 were to fill vacan-

dale, Henry Rhodes; Finleyville, \V. L. Gaston;
Helen Furnace, N. H. Thompson; LaJose, Isaac

Capitol Employees Unpaid.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 .—Yesterday was
pay day at the capitol. The employees
formed in line, as usual on the 15th of each

appropriation. ’

lister of Pennsylvania has been appointed
