——
THE FEAR OF SNAKES.
----- "v ■
Why Many Children and Some Grown Per-
sona Dl*Uk* 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 other animals known to
them, affect them with amazement and
a sense if mystery and that they fear it
just as they would fear any other strange
thing. Monkeys are doubtless affected
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. Id
would lie 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-
cake 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 witITbnt 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 fin-
der the domination of a sudden, violent
emotion—vve destroy them all alike,
thus adopting Herod’s rough and ready
method of ridding his city of one incon-
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 bo
feared; that Fontana’s ti.OOQ experiments
witirthe 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 perish by hydro-
phobia, of all forms of death the most
terrible. Yet while the sight of a snake
excites in 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 resultof 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 ai
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
where nature elaborates more potent
juices, the delusion prevails and may bo
taken ilito account here, although its
origin cannot now he discussed. For my
own part I am inclined to believe that
we regard serpents with a destructive
hatred purely and simply because vve are
so taught from childhood.—Macmillan’s
Magazine.
TURF TOPICS.
C. B. Lowe has sailed from Sydney
to California with the noted racing stal-
lions Stromboli and Clievenden.
The Coney Island Jockey club fined
Wyndhain Walden $500 for assaulting a
reporter on the Sheepshead Bay track.
In 12 years California has come to the
front with a representation of 28 2-year-
old colts with an average speed as fast
as the world's record of 1880.
Kansas has 85 members of the Amer-
ican Trotting association; Nebraska, 50;
Iowa, 91, and Missouri 40. The Na-
tional association has 2 members in
Kansas, 1 in Nebraska, 10 in Iowa and
4 in Missouri.
Two improvements at Sheepshead Bay
track are an electric horn, intended to
notify bettors that the horses are at the
post, and a golden ball at the three-quar-
ter post, which is dropped when the
horses are off.
The aluminium shoe is certainly a fac-
tor of speed with horses that can go
light, particularly pacers. Blue Sign,
2:081, shod with aluminium shoes, has
paced a quarter in 30 seconds. He car-
ries a 81 ounce shoe forward and a
3 ounce shoe behind.
The Palo Alto brood mare Rebecca, by
General Benton, has produced six foals,
of which five are living, and all of them
are in the 2:30 list, the quintet being
Rexford, 2:24; Electrician, 2:241; Ariana,
8:26; Bernal, 2:17, and Rnsenole 2:30.
Bhe is now but 15 years old.
Fishing by Electricity.
The success which attended the nso of
the electric light in fishing off the Cali-
fornia coast has led to the devising of
various improved apparatus for that pur-
pose, One of these consists of a largo
iron frame interlaced with netting, which
can be opened and closet) at the will of
the operator. An electric light incased
in a lantern is lowered into the net, the
electricity being furnished by a motor
in the bow of the boat. As the boat
moves along the network is thrown open,
and tho bright light of the lamp, which
is seen at a great distance in the clear
water, arouses the curiosity of the fish,
which readily swim into the trap. This
is the modern variant of the old method
of destroying fish from a canoe by torch-
light.—Exchange.
\
Early Reading.
It may seem superfluous to say that
one can n<\t put old heads on young
shoulders, yet it iB a truth of which
many parents require to be reminded
who are very anxious for their boys to
“get on” and who deplore with up-
lifted eyes their offspring’s fondness of
“adventure books.” That is the tend-
ency of the average boy. Occasionally
the precocity of genius asserts itself in
a Goethe, a Shelley or a Byron; but,
speaking generally.childhood is mentally
prone to follow after the new and the
wonderful. It is a principle the opera-
tion of which should not be interfered
with as long as a boy’s excursions into
the realm of fiction are kept within rea-
sonable bounds.—Cliambers’ Journal.
A Rare Opportunity.
Is offered by the “Santa Fe route” to
visit Las Vegas Hot Springs through
their having arranged to run a special
Pullman car on train leaving El Paso
Sunday at 10:20 a. m , which runs
through to the Hot Springs, reaching
there at 9:35 a. m. Monday, where it re-
mains until 12:15 p. m. and is then
picked up and run through to Kansas
City on the Chioago limited.
This arrangement allows passengers
for Kansas City or Chicago to stop at
the Hot Springs three hours, and reach
either of these points only one hour
behind the regular train on whioh they
leave El Paso.

tion call upon or address

case of the Juan Gid grant, was over-
ruled, and the case will now come up
on it merits. This is the case involving
the title to a tract of valuable land

Southw*«t Silver Convention.
Albuqrbrqub, N. M., July 27. 1893-
Bj resolutions adopted by the session
of the boathweet Silver convention,
held Juiy 4 and 5,1893, at Silver City,
New Mexico, the undersigned was des-
ignated as chairman of the executive
committee, and directed to call a ses-
sion of the Southwest Silver conven-
tion at Albnqnerqoe, New Mexioo, dur-
ing the territorial fair.
In accordance with such resolution
all the miners and all the people of the
great southwest, particularly of Colo-
rado, Texas, Arizona and New Mexioo,.
are requested to assemble at Albuquer-
que, New Mexioo, on the 19th and 20th
days of September, 1893. a full attend-
ance is very desirable. If oongme.
shall then have taken action favorable
to silver, a jollification will be in
order. If congress shall then be still
deliberating, the voloe of the
people, demanding protection from
the avarice of the monied
classes, should be emphatically
heard. If silver should be defeated iu
thts oongress, then the fight will only
be begun—and it is our duty and
privilege to assemble and make the
power and determination of the south-
west felt. If, as the Bill of Rights de-
clares, “all political power is vested 1r
and belongs to the people,” and if we
are worthy citizens of a country whose
whole structure is buil4-digpa that
sentence as the foundation stone, then
the people must be vigilant and active,,
and no self-saorifioing should be so
great as to deter them.
Moreover, these gatherings are
eduoational^JiVe must meet aud ex-
change ideas, and study and learn in
order to know the impregnable nature
of our position to the end that, in the
probable coming “battle of the stand-
ards” we may fight “freely, as *men
fight for the right.”
A failure to attend will be taken as
an evidence of ignorance, or indiffer-
ence, or both, and will injure our
cause.
