Wash inytooi Tost. gentle I was taken to a Dime Museum Eighth avenue, says Nym Crinkle an the New York World. It was one of those shows of whiph we have altogether too many. A collection Df human monstrosities, human frauds and human invalids, with a fringe of museum and an attempt at performance. But in one corner on the second poor, where no sunlight ever came, and abutting tne nine stage wnere disease staiKed in tinsel and to which morbid visitors with delight, there stood a wire about eight square, with a movable lid, and by its side sat a ratner spare ypung man with a turban on made of a American flag. In this cage, coiled in terlocked, writhing in convoluted messes, and darkly moving about were the two hundred rattlesnakes. They were the unmistakable crotalidge, and represeated every variety of the animal that is kr own to our land, from the lively and cinejrous prairie rattler to the scaled beast that, one ejdom. sees -except in the rocky, retr.eats of the Alleghanies, the Catskills or the White Mountains. The wire cage in which they Tere placed was not over three feet high, : md when the lid was lifted it. was open across one-half its top. Presently the floor-walker of the museum, who can ducts the crowd from freak to freak and explains the wonders with proverbial rhetoric, approached this end of the roam, aiid as he called the attention of jhe sight-seers to the den of snakes, the man with the star-spangled turban, who nad been sitting on a box by the side of his cage, got- up and with the utmost sang froid lifted the lid and stepped over the wire side into the box. I noticed that he was very careful where he put his mdecasined feet, the toes of which weit down very gingerly in the narrow spaqe where there was no snake. But the moment he put his hand upon the lid to lift it the occupants of the box showed a curious activity, and there rose from every serpent the whirring cicada sound of rattles. There was an unmistakable endeavor on the part of each snake to get himself into the concentric position, which is most favorable for striking, but so interlocked and massed were they that it was not an easy matter. t The exhibitor seated himself in th centre of the box. Its inhabitants wera now in a most lively condition. They squirmed and rattled, but not one of themi struck at him. He picked them up, re gardless of their attitudes and warnings, laid them, one upon the other across his knees, put them about his neck so that therTittle black scaly heads came together on his chin, and hung two of the smallest over his ears, and presently he .was pretty well covered with a writhing mass. I noticed that he exercised a great deal of dexterity in picking them up. That is to say he picked them up gently, and at the same time appeared to do it care lessly. His one great care was obviously not to irritate the snake.

The notorious jjounsar man-eating tigress has at last been killed by a young forest bfficei . This tigress has been the scourge of the neighborhood of Chakrata, India, for the last ten years, and her victims have been in numerable. On one occasion 'she seized fone out of a number or ioresters wno were sleeping together in a hut, carried him off, and deUberatelymade him over to her cubs to play with, while she pro tected their innocent ; gambols from being disturbed". ; His companions were eventually forced - to -take refuge in a tree from her savage attacks. Here they witnessed the : following ghastly tragedy: The' tigress went back and stood over the prostrate form of her victim and purred in a catlike arid self complacent way to her cubs," who were romping about and rolling over the ap parently lifeless body. She then lay down a few yards off and with bunk ing eyes .watched the gambols of her young progeny. In a few moments the man sat up and tried to beat the young brutes off. They were too young to hold him down, so he. made a desperate attempt to shake himself free, and started off at a run; but before he had gone twenty yards the tigress bounded out and brought him back to her cubs. Once more the doomed wretch had to defend himself over agaijj from, their playful attacks. He made renewed at temps to regaui xhisretin, but was seized by .the . pld7ftnd brought back each time before hp ndd gone many yards. His groans AdcL cries for help were" heartrending ; but the men on the tree were paralyzed with fear and quite unable to move. 1 At last the tigress her self joined in the gambols of her cubs, and the wretched man was thrown about and tossed over her head exactly as many of us have seen our domestic cat throw rats and mice about before begin ning to feed on them. The man's efforts at escape grew feebler. For the last time they saw him try to get away on his hands and knees toward a large fir tree, with the cub3 clinging to his limbs. This final attempt was as futile as the rest. The tigress brought him back once again, and then held him down under her forepaws, and deliberately began her living meal before their eyes. It was this formidable beast that the young Coopers Hill officer and a student attacked on foot. They were working up her trail, fifteen yards apart, when suddenly Mr. Osmaston heard his younger companion groan, and turning round saw him borne to the ground by the tigress. Mr. Osmaston fortunately suc ceeded in shooting her through the spine, and a second ball stopped her in mid spring. Meantime his companion rolled over the hill, and was eventually dis covered insensible a few feet away from his terrible assailant. He is terribly mauled, and now lies at the Chakrata Station Hospital, where hopes of his re cover v are entertained. London Times. A GREAT MARBLE QUARRY. THE EXTBAORDINAEY DISCOVEEY What Followed.

V. .rxv, n T didn't want to disturb - WU, hrour rest Eight years ago a passenger saw a newspaper upon an empty seat in a car of an express train. He unfolded it and yawned as he glanced over its columns. Finding nothing there of absorbing in terest, he was about to lay it aside when the word "marble," repeatedly printed, caught his eye. It stirred the depths of his memory. It recalled boyhood days in the Green Mountains, and family stories concerning the fortunes of an uncle. Years before- the passenger was born, the uncle was forced to accept an apparently worthless tract- of land in payment of a debt. When penury crept upon him in the shade of old age, a marble quarry was found beneath the surface of the meglected tract. The famous Rutland quarries were developed, and the uncle became one of the wealthiest men in Ver mont The nephew had played in the quarries with schoolmates, and had re peatedly heard his ttndle tell the story of their discovery and development. And ever afterward the word raarbfe had for him a peculiar fascination. He therefore became deeply, interested in the news paper. - ' The passenger was H. C. Clement, a clothier of Chicago, and the, newspaper the Atlanta Constitution. The latter con tained an article describing the attractions of Pickens County, Georgia. It was in this description that the word "marble" repeatedly appeared. The correspondent asserted that he had seen the outcropping of a marble formation in the bed of Long Swamp Creek. The story was told in plain, unvarnished Anglo-Saxon. The passenger read it with avidity. So deep ly impressed was he that he crossed over td Frank Siddall-, the Philadelphia soap man, who sat near by, and called his at tention to the article. Siddall read it, and listened to Clement's reminiscences. The latter averred that if there was a shadow of truth to the story there was a marble quarry in Georgia that would strip the supremacy from Vermont. With an eye to business, Siddall suggested a visit to Pickens County, and offered to shoul der a share of the expense. The offer was accepted. ' The author of the article in the Con stitution was first unearthed. He proved to be Captain Evan P. Howell, better known as the "wet editor' of that great newspaper. Howell had traveled up to Pickens County on the opening of the North Georgia Railroad, and had written up the country, with a view of increasing the circulation of the Constitution. He said that the outcropping of the mar ble was tg be found in the. Long Swamp valley, about two miles from the railroad and forty miles north of Marietta. With ready courtesy he offered to go with the Chicago merchant and point out the spot. They went to the valley. Clement was -buoyant with hope. The bed of the creek disclosed the yein. There were also other surface indications. The greatest proof of the purity of the upheaval, however, was rough hewn mar ble blocks taken out by the mountaineers. There-were marble sentinels at the head of graves in the little private cemeteries set apart, from every mountain farm. The .outcropping was on' land owned by the -late brothers L - iinrxnQjiir. ic., possible, with the present facilities, tof supply the demand. ; . . : The Long Swamp quarries are probably J ui largest m xne woria. jsew I orb $un; ) . . .

From 50,000 analyses in a German laboratory, it appears that fluctuations itt; the solids of milk depend almost entirely on variations of the fat. The evening milk is richer than that of the mornings and the November , and December milk than that of other months. A remarkable phenomenon was wit nessed at Cardiff, England lately.
