TO STAItT A SyAKE FARM.
Mr. A. A. Monsch trill Invent
SIOO.OOO In the Business.
Mr. A. A. Monsch, of Augusta, Ga,
has been in the city for the last sever
al days looking for a location to start
a snake farm. Mr. W. A. J. Smith,
the'affable sheriff of the city court,
took Mr. Monsch in his buggy and
drove him around the city and sur
rounding country on Sunday last, and
from the observations taken Mr.
Monsch is very much pleased with
this section of country for his enter
prise. He found many places that
would make an ideal place for suakes
to thrive, but has not decided on
which place he will locate.
Mr. Monsch is an old dealer in
snake products, and hopes to make
his business pay him several liousand
dollars the first year, after which ev
erything will be easy sailing. He
raises nothing but rattle snakes, moc
casins and spreading adders, as noth
ing but venomous reptiles will yield
a sufficient quantity of oil to make it
pay. Every employe, however, is pro
vided with a king snake, which he
uses as a protector. The food princi
pally used to feed the reptiles is frogs.
Bull frogs are relished most by them,
and Mr. Monsch will pay ten cents a
piece for bull frogs and five cents for
toads, delivered alive.
He also offers S2.SO for spreading
adders and moccosins, and .$-4.00 for
rattlers, delivered alive and unwound
ed. He also wishes to employ about
forty or fifty good men—men with
plenty of nerve—men who are not
afraid of a tiger—to look after the
snakes, and will pay $2.00 per day for
their services.
Mr. Monsch.tells us that there is a
ready market for snake oil at .S3O-00
per ounce, and that he can sell their
hides for from r< 2.50 to $4.00, accord
ing to size.
Mr. Monsch has returned to Augus
ta to perfect all the arrangements pre
paratorv to going intj the business.
The Breeze wishes the gentleman
much success in his new enterprise,
and hopes that he t, ill succeed in get
ting all the help necessary, instead of
having to import men.
DEFINITION OF A BABY.
The Oregonian has awarded a $l5O
prize for the best definition of a baby.
The following are some of the best
definitions given:
“The bachelor's li rror, the mother’s
treasure, and the despotic tyrant of
the most republican household.”
“The morning caller, noonday
crawler, midn ght brawler.”
“Tne latest edition of humanity, of
which every couple think they possess
the finest copy.”
“A native of all countries who speak
the language of none.”
“About twenty-two inches of coo
and wiggle, writh and scream, filled
with suction and testing apparatus
to milk, and automatic alarm for reg
ulate supply.”
“A thing we are expected to kiss
and look at as we enjoye it.”
“A little stranger, with a free pass
to the heart’s best affections”
“That which makes home happier,
love stronger, patience greater, days
shorter, purses lighter, clothes shab
bier, the past forgotten, the future
brighter.”
A tiny feather from the wing of
love, dropped into the sacred lap of
“Motherhood.”
The latter definition was sent in by
the Hepner lady, who won the prize.
-;OBER MEN FOR BUSINESS.
We most heartily endprse the posi
tion taken by the Quitman Free
Press, that only sober men should le
elected to office. However well equip
ped a man be for public life he is of
little use to the people he represents
if he is a drunkard. His spasmodi
cally brilliant efforts are not product
ive of any results, and they are follow
ed by long periods in which nothing
whatever is attempted.
It would net be difficult to find in
congress at present the kind of men
we refer to. They do not acomplish
anything and they are not likely to.
Their constituents know them, and
will hardly make the mistake of re
electing them. They are not only
useless themselves, but they occupy
the time of other moderately useful
men in taking care of them and pre
venting them from making exhibi
tions of themselves. No man who ha
bitually gets drunk, or who is always
muddled by drink, should be honored
with an office of any kind.—. Sava
