FOUGHT II PYTHON i
Fearful Plight of a Man Trapped
In the Big Snake's Den.
?EXCITING BATTLE FOR LIFE.
Plucky and Successful Struggle t* ??
cap* ths Embrace ef tha Writhing
Monitor, Which Would Have Crush
?d It* Victim Like an Eggshell.
Few men after having been roughly
squewed by a python have lived to tell
j of their sensations while In the em
brace of the big snake. An English
man employed In the I-ondon soologl
cal gardens was, however. one of the
1 fortunate few.
The Britisher while In Antwerp rls
Ited the Jardln Zoologist* where he
observed that a Mg python? a female
nbout fourteen feet in length? was snf
! faring from carles of the Jaw, with nl
! oration of the mucous membrane, a
i condition often fatal to anakea in con
finement.
Having pointed this out to the resi
dent director, the Englishman obtained
permission to make trial of an oint
ment that he had found efficacious in
the early stage of tht disease among
i his own snakes.
Sow. as ill- Inck would have it. the
I regular keeper was absent on this par
1 ticular occasion, and hla place waa IW
: <?d for the time by another from some
: oth??r department of the Institution
! This man spoke nothing but Flemish.
a tongue of which the Briton waa ig
I norant
The Englishman went Into the py
thon's den with this attendant taking
it for granted, of course, that the man
was accustomed to snakes and hand
ing him the box of ointment to hold un
til the Briton should be ready to use It
When the Englishman had brought
the python fairly down to the Coor he
gripped her hard by the neck, which
action had the effect, as he Intended It
to have and which It always haa with
snakes, of making her open her mouth
While holding ber thus be pressed her
head away from him at the same time
to prevent her catching bold of any
portion of his clothing In her efforts to
overcome him.
In her fright and rage she drew her
body up across the Britisher's back and
twisted her tail round and round bis
other arm. All 'hat the Englishman
now required of the keeper was. by
teasing or pinchltg her here and there
or by unwinding the tail when necessa
ry. to cause her to shift ber coils con
stantly and prevsnt her resting long
enough on one rpot to apply undue
pressure.
The Englishman turned to make a
sign to the Fleming to be ready to hand
him the ointment. To the foreigner's
dismay the Flemlig'a face, with a sort
of full. Impartial Interest, looked at him
through the glass In front, the door
closed on the outside! He had become
frightened by the python and had quiet
ly departed.
At the same Instant that the British
ef turned the serpent tightened on him
so suddenly and violently that be mo
mentarily lost consciousness. Then he
found himself staggering about the den
fighting for life. He expected his ribs
to give way every moment, yet his
chief fear at the time was of falling
through the glass.
He pushed the reptile's head away
from him with all his strength lest ft
should cross bis breast and be can re
member catching sight of himself, a
mulberry colored figure, in the mirror.
All the time that be fought he knew
that he was trampling over the other
pythons, who. furious at tbe disturb
an co, were now darting about the den.
above and all around him in every di
reel ion.
The Britisher exerted every energy to
keep his feet for he had retained suf
flclent presence of mind to realise that
were he to ro down all would be over
with him. Tbe heat was stifling. He
felt that he could endure It no longer.
Tbe cage spun madly round before his
eyes, and be let go the snake's head.
The big serpent now twisted sharply
j over his right shoulder close to his face
? and slid off to the ground.
i The Englishman remembers falling
J against the door with outstretched
i hands, but nothing more until he found
| himself sitting on the steps outside
j coughing violently, while tbe phleg
j matic keeper was for some occult rea
; son putting a hot key down his back.
| Fortunately the snake had only a
i small part of her body across tbe Eng
j lishman's left side and back. Had she
j encircled him with a complete coll he
would have been crushed like an egg
shell.? Harper's Weekly.

A railway train was leaving Grand 1
Centra I sutlon with Its usual ft ?'clock ,

man wbos* worn clothes and shabby
show s'ere whitened with the lime be ,
worked In. HI* face was lean and
marked with tired line*, and bis bands,
joint swollen and bfanted. hung wear!- i
lj betw'ien his knees. A large woman. |
bejewelrd and plumed, entered (be car
with a rustle of skirts and a Jingle of
finery that attraated all eyes. Sway
ing uncertainly oa her blgh heels as abe
made fee the only empty seat, abe was
thrown from her balance by a sadden
lurch of the train, and only the labor
er's promptly outstretched arm saved
ber frora an Ignominious (ail.
She vtraishtened herself with what
grare she could and turned wltb a
sr.iile to thank tbe gentleman who had
rescued her. A ginm* at the workman,

In her nrnis The little clrl. i*?rhaps
three year* old, wa? dn***ed In *i*)tle*s

the deep frilled tionnet that framed her
rosy face. When the tniard railed Sev

and the Indy opposite stood up wltb
tbe child still In her arms. Touching
tbe tnsn'a arm. she anld. with a smile:
"Will you aot be kind enough to car
ry my baby up tbe stairs? She Is too
nieepy ti> wa'k and very heavy for me
to lift"
Tbe man straightened blmseif and.
wltb fac? alight, carefully took tbe lit
tle whito clad form In bis arms and led
the way up tbe stairs. I'assersby
stared curiously at tbe trio, bat there
was no consciousness of that In the
woman's gracious Thank you! Tbat
was a great help."

the m-tn lifted his battered bat and
turned homeward with a buoyant step. >

The lll'e of a grand vtaler In Persia
was once saved by a Parsee trader,
who discovered and exposed a plot to
kill tbe royal official. In spite of the'
fact tbat tbe Persians are Mobammed
ans and bold fire worshipers in cod
tempt, a single flame bas been kept
burning continuously for seventy yean
at Sarhitd In bonor of tbe bumble
trader.
In Inhnblted lands within the arctic
circle Ores have been known to burn
for years. This, however. Is not so
mucb a custom as It Is a simple prac

and necessity because of the scarcity
of wood or kindling of any kind to
