Miss Browns lecture upon this novel subject

the Norsemen as rough and savage with I'M

beautiful pictures and stereopticon tho mis-

lecture, After looking at the beautiful foun-
tain of Molin with its graceful poetical mythol-

fine muscular action and fierce earnestness we
wonder that such artists have remained in OBJ

NAMES NEW LIQUOR LAW
Maine has at last got liquor law to
eyade which will require the utmost
ingenuity of the wine sellers and wine
bibbers. Thus far loophole OF some
sort has always been found IN the STAT
utes framed on the subject. When the
ordinary liquor saloon was compelled
to up its shutters the private club came
into existence, and when payment Tor
lquor was prohibited the dispenser
found way Of giving it away and at
the Same time rcaplng the usual mer-
camille profit. Under the new law all
these trick, and evasions will come to
naught. Club houses and all similar
contrivances are to be declared nuis-
anccs and suppressed upon sight,
Giving liquor away is to be remerseless'
| " punished. A person found intoxicat'
ed, either on the street or his own
honse, shall be sent to Jail for thirty
days, and if he undertakes to do the
| thing a second time, he will be given
vacation and an opportunity to re-
form ten times as long. Maine seems
to be In earnest this time.

Secret Of Snake-Charming'

The snake-charmers Of India gener-
ally make their exhibitions with reptiles
made harmless by drawing their poison
fanss. If, however, sufficient money is
forthcoming, cobra with fangs will be
brought out from the basket.
The snake. charmers will grasp the
erect cobra with impunity, owing
solely to the superior speed of their
movements, for by fcint they provoke
tho reptile to strike, and before 1t can
recover its attitude seize it below the
jaws.
In the same way the ichneumon, or
mongoose, secures in contest with
yenomous snakes a comparative i'm
munity. 1t was for long time an
article ofGaith with writers Of popular
works on natural immunity, but scien-
tifc experiment has corrected this
fallacy.
A mongoosc and cobra, confined to-
gether, fought freely, and though the
latter seemed to the eye to strike bis
antagonist repeatedly, the mongoose,
on being examined after it had killed
the snake, was found to be untouched.
Another cobra was then brought on
TO the scene. and being made to close
its fangs On the mongoose's leg, she
confessed its susceptibility to the poison
by dying IN about four minutes.
1t was, therefore, by its superior ac-
tivity alone that in fair fight with the
reptile it had escaped unhurt, and to
the same cause the snake -charmer owes
the immunity that attends his exhibl-
ton.
But as in the case Of the moDgoose,
the snake-charmer, when actually bitten
dies as rapidly as any other creature,
and in spite OF all the powers OF his
charms, roots and snakes stone. The
Hindoo spectator refuses to believe this
and enjoys, therefore. by his credulity,
pleasure denied to more intelligent
audience, for if We could only &C cept as
trnth the charmer's statement that he
has really been bitten and the red drops
on the bitten spot he smelt, the stone
he applied to the wound, and the charms
he muttered were verltably counteract-
ing the magic Of the cobra's poison,
the spectacle would be Of surprising in'
terest, since 1t would be miracle.
For the cobra's bite there is no rene
dy except instant amputatiop, and the
snake -charmer himself knows this we'll
