L1TN2'LX NEIGHBOR. You came to live near n One bonst spring Ga The next miasla y morning a morning in May I heard you a-gardening Over the way. But between, like Fate's battlement, Grim rose the wall And YOU were so litte, And I was not tall Should I shout? Would von answer? What nafhe coald I call? I hated the man Who had )uilt the wall there. I climbed with the aid Of a venerable eohatr A diminutive Romeo Sealing your stair. The ledge I laid over, Ah, such a wee thing? Like a restless white butterfly Light on the wing; Hair gold as the prinrose That blossomed in spring. Your rake dropped. your sun-hat slipped Off you bright bead. 'Are you the boy next door?" You solemnly sai. I nodded, slid o'er the wall. Radiant and red. Oh, my wife, in Life's garden We lnger to -dny ; Mafny snows, inany b ay-blooms, -1are kissed gold to grity Since I woeed my wee neighbor Over the way. -K. Temple More, in Our Contfnent, ABOUT SNAKES. Pythons and Anacondas-Snakes' Eggs and low They Are 1latohed-Rattlesnakes as Food for Hlunan Stomacha--Adventures With Reptiles. There was brought to the Star ollice by Mr. G. 0. Starr yesterday an enorm Ous egg. It was twice the size of a goose-egg, but was not as regular in shape. The outer coverinr, instead of being hard and brittle 'like a shell, was so soft that it could be easily indented by the finger. This singular egg was cold and clanmy to the touch, and it gave a person who handled it an un comfortable feeling like that which would result from contact with a snake, toad or frog. "This egg," said Mr. Starr, "was laid by the three-hiundred-pound python which was brought to this city by Mr. G. B. Bunno1 a few days ago. The python is sitting upon a nest full of such eggs, and in a shourt time a lot of little snakes will be hatchlied out. They will bo nice pets for people wio have an ad miration forreptiles. The mothersnake is twenty-five feet in length, nnd she is coiled uipon her nest and patient lv await ing the advent of her young. Ifer temn per is just like that of a settin- hen. She is very ugly, and if she is disturbed she manifests her displeaure in a way that gives all leddlers to understand that she wishes to be let severely alon.'" "What shall I do with this tling?'" was the inuiry made by the repre;ent ative of the S/ar, to whomu the python' s egg was handed. " You en n have it hatched a!rtiiial ly"was theW repjly 06 the dlonor. ''Just, keep it. ini en(ttoni ini at ph which is neither too) warmi nor1 too cold. and thle tirst thing you know you will bie the owner of a real, live py3thoni. Theun if you tauke proper care of thec younie snake, it will grow so large that. it wil be~ able to coil about you and crush ', 'iu in its vice(-like folds. Mr. WV. A. CIonkling, Superintendenut of. the Central Park Menagerie, speak ing of reptLiles, said: "' There is scarcely any' anflImal that commanlUds so much aversion as thet serpenit, and yet, ink spite of this, it is one of the most interesting of all thlat. come1 before the naturalist.

Mr. Conkling added: "' The story that agakes cover their prey with saliva is an error. Sir Robert 'er Porter says the python (10es niot first cover Its prey with saliva. T1he nmcous doe s not pour out of thle glandis unmless theprey is large and it is required to lubricate the jaws and throat for the seemninoly disp~rop)or tionate feast. Pythons w il cling by the tail to sonme tree growing in the water, and then iloat uponi the surface and wait for animals that may comel to the water to quench their thirst. '1 hey often feed upon each other. In the Zoolonical (ardens in London, one who had Iived for years on friendly terms with a brother nearly as large as himself, was found 01n0 mlorninlg sole tenant of htis den. As the cage was secure, the keep er was puzzled to know how the serpent had e'caped. At last it was discovered that the remaining inmlate had swollen remarkably durig the night, wvhen the truth came out. lhut if you want a good up and down snake story, let me intro duce you to Prof. Hlutchings." "Can I tell you anything about snakes? I should say so," said the Rev. Mr. Hutchinigs, lightning calculat or and lecturer upon huninell's wonders. "' Sir! I could tell you facts, sir-facts in rela tion to the betrayer of our common would overwhelm y ou with amazement. I remember one in the year 1864. I was at Gilbert's Museum, Market, near Second, San Francisco. Cal. Fifty In gold and all expenuses. Those were glorious days; gold w ay u >, and myself generally in a like comt I-. tion. I noticed for several days a man they oalled Reynolds hanging about the place. He was, a man about fifty, no taller than myself, gray 1ooks hminging over his shoulders. A bent form like a tree that had been brought up wrong. Eyes with a far-away look. He had a peculiar gliding motion, andl his feet, muflled ini slippers, gav e forth no mlore sound than the reptile. Shortly after 1 noticed the proprietor advertised for snakes. One day a mountaineer came in with a box pierced with ai--holes. From the inside came a sound like unto the rattle of musketry. "What -er got, stranger?' said Rey nolds, push ng through the crowd1. "' Rattlers, said the mountaineer. "' Let me take one,' said Reynoldls, reaching for the box. "'Betar look out; they bite, and when they bite they kill.' was the reply. If yet brought these in answer to the advertisement them's my snakes,' said Reynolds, as he plungedl his hand Into the box.* In a second( he brought forth a uix-foot rattlesnake, and holding ,.It betwena thumb and flngwrlooked at it, '~ lav-away look in the eyes of *yueteiman id iven wa to a sparkling brillancy, efore SaOwas powerless. e '$*patit See the sun strike -hey scarcely breathed. T felt my hair rising; I might say, in New Haven tlang: *We were paralyzed.' At all erents, we were rooted to the spot as firmly a the Pyrands are to Eypt's sand. In an instant his hans were in the b >x, and no less than twenty of these deadly animals were dancing around him to the icie of their rattles. The mount aineer was pale as a sheet, and trembled ps wit h t he agie. Baek went the snakes 'nto the box. Turning to the mount aincer, Reynolds exclaimed: 'What's the matter; are e vcold?' His voice broke the spell; the mountaineer gave one look, and then made for the <toor. He never came for pay for those snakos." Among the visitors to. see the enor mous 300-pound python on exhibition there was a native of Central America. He told the attendant at thedoor that a long residence in a warm climate had made him perfectly familiar with rep tiles and their habits. He acknowl edged that the python in the museuma was a wonderful serpent, but he said he had seen many such in Guatemala. A representative of the Star, who hap pened to come along just then and overheard the Central American's re marks, asked him to relate some of his experiences with snakes. The man was a veteran of sixty-five or seventy years. His face was bronzed, and his nair, which he wore long, was as straight as that of an Indian. He was full six feet tall, and the lankness of his figure give him a singular appearance. He told the reporter that. his name was Senor Jose Dece, that he was born in Mexico, and left that country for Central Amer ica when a young man. The Senor was well educated, and is able to speak in the English language with the same fluency that he does in his native tongue. He said: "I have camped in swamps and thickets, and slept with pythons and anacondas crawling all about me. I never thought of being afraid of them. The stories'told in hooks of immense snakes attacking large aninials and men43i, coiling about theim and (ruishingv and swallowing their prey, are for the most part iexaggerations. ft is true tilat small animals ar often killet amlt swallowed whole bV alnac(ontas and hon-coi.strictor-; but'it is safe to say that no full-grown inan was ev'er made R 1Ical of b Ia serpetii. - Were yoI ever attickeld by a ser pelit ?" the reporter asked.

They think this disposition to forsake rural for urban life Is certain evidence of depray. ity. They believe, or affect to believe, that boys forsake the farm and fee to the city in order to escape toil and lead an easy life. They see virtue behind and vice in the future. They think the boys who go to a great city are sure to plunge into dissipation, recklessness and folly. They have convinced them selves that people make money and ob tain position in a city by fraud, cheat. Ing, and sharp practices, but that they better their condition in the country only by acquiring habits of industry, frugality, and honesty. Now, human nature is about the same in the brick walled streets of a great city or in the green fields by the winding lanes in the country. Virtue and vice, honesty and dishonesty, industry and idleness are to be found everywhere that man exists. It is all a mistake that a great majority of the people in a large city do not have to work hard for a living. More people work themselves into the hospital or the grave in a large city than anywhere else. A much larger number of men broken down by hard work in middle life can be found in cities than in the country. The people in the middle or lower walks of life in a great city are obliged to subject themselves to a rigid course ol self-denial all the time. There is always something to see, hear or taste that they can not have. A boy who goes from the city to the country is ordinarily obliged to work hard to gain a living, and to conduct himself with great pro priety in order to acquire a reputation and gain advancement. It is wise and well to encourage the disposition of boys to remain in the country and to live on farms, provided they have the taste for agricultural pur suits and the proper physical and mnci tal requirements for such occupations. The pleasures of country life have been sung by all tho poets from David to Longfellow. Novelists have never tired of describing the fine characters they have found in the country. The city painter betakes himself to the tree-cov ered hills, the grassy fields, the singing brooks, and the bird-haunted groves when he wishes to portray what Is beautiful. Statistics show that vastly more people live In their own houses in the country than in the city. In an ag ricultural community nearly every man is engaged In indep endent oceupation, while the reverse is true in any of our large cities. Besides, failures among farmers are very rare, and hardly ever occur unless they are the resuits of speculations. People in the conutry are measurably free from the horrors of contagious dliseases and from great cal amities resulting from fires, floods, and the general stagnaition of business which is often attended by strikes and riots. Life and property are miore secure in country than in city. No matter whether stocks are rising or falling, whether rents are high or low, whether currency is scarce or plenty, the man who owns the farm he tends will generally raise enough to supply the wants of his fami ly and to meet the demands of the tax gatherer. in time of calamity peopleo m cities edivy the lot of those in the country. When the "heatedl term" comes on, the owners of fine hous'es in the city are la:d to forsake them for the pleasure . afforded by a modest cot tage in the country. Nearly every man who toils to get~ ri ch in a cit~y looks for ward to the (lay when he can own a home in the country. It does nmot follow, howvever, that all boys who are raised on farmis should ire. main there. Many boys were never "cut out" for farmers, and no amount of work in the make-up will over make good farmers out of them. They are better at iruring than at fencing; bet ter at guidmng a steamboat than a p low ; better at selling than producing; bet ter at handling dry goods than stowing away hay They may be awkwvard at any kind of farm work, but they may be jw" hanv at many occupations in a aopo aetory. Mnt~ysa tan on a farm and afterward succeed in a city. They have ability, but it is not of t he kind required to build a fence, plow a furrow, shape a hay-stack, break colts, or sow clover-seed. They are out of place on a farm and do not earn enougni to support them. It would be better to give them a trial somewhere else. TIhe boy who fails in raising grain may make a fortune iln handling it. The country is quite too wvell sup~plied with farmers who are not adapted to the business in which they are engagedt. Thecy set h~ad bxamples, and injure tihe land they should imoprove. Trhey introduce no improvements, but followv the worst kinds of practices. They raise poor crops, keep poor stock, and sulpport poor fences. Everything they keep runs down on their hands. Quite likely they were encouraged "to stick to the farm" in early life, when it would have been to the advantage of all concerned had they been encouraged to followv the bent of their own desire, to p)low~ the waves instead of the fields, to feed a locomotive instead of pigs, or to cut shoe- teathter instead of grass.- Perh aps some ford parents toilled to gain thenm % rmis,Avhlen thiey would have done bwZ ter had they provided them with kits or tools, or given them the means to be. come surveyors or coal-miners. It may be pleasant for a farmer to settle his sons aroundl him, but if they fail in the business, he will be mortificdadpie at~ the resm~t'. d-n1pie Ml any boys leave farms because there is little, fom' them to do on tieem.' The in troduction of labor-saving machinery has greatly reduced the amount of hand wvork required on farms andl~ predaiced in some sections a surplus of laborers. Trhe owners of many quite small farms have several boys who must engage in some payimg Ooupation. Somel of these boys would be ladl to obtain farms of their own, but they have not thme mecans to purchase themn. Farms can no long. er be obtahied for the taking without r'omng a long distance to obtain them. Tcosts more to start in the business of farming than it did a short tifme -ago. Msaterials for building~s and iances cost more, ana a larger amount or macmn eiy is required. The price of stock imreas~s every year, and the like is true of all farm supplies. The sons of farnmers tiud it dlitlcult to earn suthelent mone~y by working for other farmers to purchase and 14) cultivate on their own aeccount. AMnst farmers hire help onuly through the busy season. If a boy wishes to earn money to buy a farm he will he more likely to secure it hv work ing at some occupation where he will have constant employment. A boy's prospects of success in farming will not be likely to be impaired by his being en.. gaged in some other occupation for a few years. The chances are that the educoation he reeives in some other kind of business will greatly benefit him in his subseqmuenlf of a armr.- Ob Slis niations whih4o not allow themr got of doors.
