SNAKES IN CAPTIVITY.
How the Reptile* Are Caught, Tamed and
Cared For In Circu.e. and Muwumi.
Nearly all the snakes you see in
museums and circus exhibitions were
sent to this country from Africa or
South America. The boa constrictor
comes from Africa and some very
large specimens from Brazil. It is
seldom that we can secure an ana
conda.
In both Africa and South America
the snakes are captured by the na
tives, who very often, however, are
pfrttjd of them, and do not under
take to secure tlu*in unless they are
accompanied by an American or Eu
ropean who will take fh/i lead in the
expedition.
In Brazil the large snakes are some
times captured with nets, which are
thrown over them. The smaller ones
are caught with a big stick, shaped
at one end like a two pronged pitch
fork. The man approaches the snake
after the animal has partaken of a
good meal and when he feels heavy
and sleepy. The fork is placed over
the snake’s head, and he is thus
pinned to the ground. Then he coils
himself around the stick, and in that
manner is carried away and put in a
strong box, ready to he shipped to
some foreign country. Even large
snakes are often captured in this way.
Boa constrictors are obtained ui
the forests near the Amazon and
Platte rivers. They are sometimes
20 feet in length and weigh from 50
to 100 pounds. Tree boas are cap
tured from 12 to 14 feet long, but the
majority of them are 7 or 8 feet long.
The Indians of Brazil capture th’s
variety of snake while they are en
gaged in their vocation of gathering
rubber. They put the rubber and a
lot of snakes in canoes, take them
about 4,000 miles up the Amazon
river, where they sell them to the
traders, who in turn ship them in
steamers which take the raw rubber
to the coast.
Anacondas also come from Brazil.
They are highly prized because they
are so handsomely marked, but the
specimens we are able to get here
are smaller than the boas.
Snakes will not eat dead food. We
feed them on birds, chickens, pigeons
and rabbits and white mice. But
the large snakes will not be content
with a meal of mice. The bait is en
tirely too small for them, and the
little creatures could run around
their cage without being harmed.
Large snakes demand a chicken, a
rabbit or a large rat, and they take
particular delight in killing the food
they are to eat. They do not eat so
much in captivity and consequently
are not so long lived. Some of them
will not live over a year, while a
snake who is a good feeder will live
10 or 12 years.
This question of food would be a
very expensive item in keeping a
snake if it were not for the fact that
he only eats once a month, and some
times not that often. It is rare to
find one that will eat oftener than
once a week. Snakes are very quiet
and docile after they have been fed.
The fat in a snake is in layers, and is
found in greater quantities than in
any other animal I know of. One
reason, I suppose, why they can go
without eating for such long periods
is because they can live off their own
fat. Some say that snake oil or fat
is a cure for rheumatism. I know
many people who have faith in this
remedy, but I do not believe in its
efficacy myself, and I cannot say
that I have ever heard of a cure by
its use.—Washington News.
After the Wedding Wah Over.
I could not help overhearing them,
because I was walking behind the in
teresting young couple as they came
down the gangplank. He said:
“Odd. isn’t it, my dear, that we
should have seen Jack and Fanny off
when they sailed before? You can’t
forget it. You came in town for the
day. Don’t you remember? And aft
er the ship sailed we went to Delmo
ico's for luncheon.”
“Why, so we did, Bob,” said the
young wife, and then with appar
ent innocence added, “That was be
fore we were married.”
She seemed to be quite innocent of
sarcasm, and so was Bob. Evidently
the little “luncheon at Delrnonico’s”
was a delightful reminiscence of
courtship. Why do not more hus
bands still play the role of lover?
—New York Press.
Lincoln's Irishman.
Abraham Lincoln once remarked
of the people who wanted emancipa
tion, but who did not like to be called
Abolitionists, that they reminded him
of the Irishman who had signed a
pledge and did not like to break it,
yet wh« sadly wanted a “drink.” So,
going to an apothecary, he asked for
a glass of soda water, adding, “An,
(toother. dear, if yees could put a lit
tle whisky into it unbeknownst to
me. I'd be much obliged to yees.”—
