Secret Of SnaKeGnarmlng.

The snake-charmers of India general
~ make their exhibitions with reptiles
made harmless by drawing their poison
fangs. II, however, sufficient money il
forthcoming, . cobra with fangs will be
brought out from the basket.
The snaks-char mers will grasp tho
erect cobra with impunity, owing solely
to the superior speed Of their move
ments, for, by feint they provoke the
reptile to strike, aud before il can re-
cover it's attitude seize it below the
jaws.
In the same way the ichneumon, or
mongoose, secures in contest with ven-
omous snakes comparative immunity.
It was for long time an article OF faith
with writer's OF popular works en- nat
ural history, that this animal enjoyed
complete immugity, bnt scientific ex-
pertinent hes corrected this fsllacys
A mopgoose and cobra, conEued to-
gether, fought freely, and though the
latter seemed to the eye to strike his
antagonist repeatedly, the mongooss,
on being examined after il had killed
the snake, was found to be untouched.
Another cobra was then brought On
to the scene, and being made to clos
it's fangs on the m0ngoose'S leg, the an
imal confessed its susceptibility 10 Tho
poison by dying in about four minutes.
It was, therefore, by its superior 90
tivity alone that in fair fight with the
reptile it had escaped unhurt. and b
the same cause the snake-charmer owes
the immunity that attends his cxhibi-
ton.
But as in the case Of the mosgoose,
the snake harmer, when actually b.
ten, dies as rapidly a. any ether creat-'
ure, and in spite Of all the powers q
his charms, roots and snakes stone.
The Hindoo spectator refuses to be-
lieve this, and enjoys, therefore, By his
credulity, pleasure denied to more
intelligent audiences, for II We could
only accept % truth the charmer' state
ment that he has really been bitten and
the red drops ON the bitten spot wan
actually blood, exuding from the fatal
puncture, and could then believe that
the root he smelt, the stone he applied
to the wound, and the charms he mutt
tered were veritably counteracting the
magic of the cobraIs poison, the spectar
Gle would be of surprising interest,
since it would be miracle.
For the cobra's bite there is no reme-
dy except instant amputation, and the
snake-charmer himself knows this well.

hair first, at the ears, then to roll the
back up by itself. The front hair, altr
having been arranged in front, is th n
combed lack, and the ends twisted
round the coil. This method generally
insures. a better shape 10 the front hair
than when all the hair is twisted up to-
gether.. For young girls and young
ladies the coiffure known as "a Pan.
glaiso" is now very fashionable. The
hair is weaved thickly over the head,
and falls low over the brow; it is drawn
back to the nape of the neck, and there
falls in bunch of thick, soft curls,
which are kept in place by an invisible
net. This is charming coiffure for
ladies whose hair is naturally curly, and
can be managed, by artificial curling, by
any one to whom it may be becoming, 2,
provided the hair is not very long. When
it is long the coiffure is modified by
substituting roll for the curls. The
hair is arranged in long, loose, full
roll, and lett to hang in an invisible net
on the neck. Sometimes braids are ar
ranged in this way, but they are heavier
and less pretty than the loose roll.
Very few ornaments are worn in the
hair, except for very full dress.-New

Terrible Fight With Monster Lizard.

The great country lying south of Mex
leo is rich in tropical verdure and ami
mails. Winter is never known except
in the cold winds called northers, that,
during the so-called winter, come rush
ing down from the nortn, as il to tell
the natives that it is not continual sum-
mer everywhere.
The land flows with milk and honey,
indeed; rich palms and other tropical
trees grow in rich confusion; bunche 8
OF bananas and cocoanuts await the
hand to pick them; a thick underbrush
OF tangled vines, wound around each
other in the growth of ages, forms q
Junge that few care to penetrate. For
miles the land is covered with this car
pet OF vegetation, and the swamps and
rivers are inhabited only by strange
reptiles, birds and insects who prev
upon one another in their struggle for
existence.
The birds are the most beautiful in
the world, and many of the insects have
curious lights upon their backs that
shine like gas-burners in the night. His
tory tells us that when the Spaniards
first saw them, they became alarmed,
and thought they were the lights of a
moving army. Poisonous snakes lurk
under the broad leaves, and hugh lizards
creep upon the overhanging boughs of
trees.
One of these Iizards-the iguana-is a
hideous. looking object. The largest
tain length of ten or twelve feet the
skin is very tight, and covered with
knobs or scales; under the mouth hangs
a large pouch, over which the green,
diamond.like eyes appear, shaded by a
ridge OF bone. Along the back, from
the tip of the nose to the tail, is a con-
t!nuous line OF spurs or sharp spines !;
these, with powerful mouth, five
sharp teeth, long, cat-like claws and
enormous strength to use them, consti-
tutes the makeup of this giant among
lizards. Disgusting as they are, the
n nitives use them for food.
Near the head of the river Chagres is
a favorite place for them; very few
white people ever venture there, and
the first who did was witness to a ter
rible fight between a native and a
lizard.
The man had been engaged as a guide,
and, after a successful days hunt, they
were returning to their camp near the
river, when the black man stopped sud-
denly and pointed to fallen tree. His
companion looked, and soon saw an

Words of Wisdom.

Never judge by appearances. A
seedy coat may cover a heart in full
bloom.
The sublimity of wisdom is to do
those things living which are desired to
be when dying.
1t is no vanity for a man to pride
himself on what he has honestly got
and prudently used.
Let him who regards the loss of time
make proper use of that which is to
come in the future.
Ideas generate ideas, like a potato
which, cut in pieces, reproduces itself
in multiplied form.
To endeavor to work upon the vulgar
with fine sense is like attempting to
hew blocks of marble with razor.
Happiness is like a sunbeam, which
the least shadow iutercepts, while ad-
versity is often as the rain of spring.

Indian Images.

Some of the Indians at Zuni, New
Mexico, having been converted to
Christianity, have no further use for the
images before which they formerly
bowed down. Two images have been
taken from an old stone church near
Zuni and sent to the Smithsonian insti-
tuition. One represents man and ono
a woman. Each is cut from solid
block of wood, with the exception OF
the shield, the arms and the wings,
has lost his arms and wings, but wears
his shield intact. Both images are so
hideously ugly as TO excite wonder that
even New Mexican Indians could see
their way clear to fall down and wor-
ship them. Both of them bear inscrip-
tions which have not yet been trans
lated from the queer language in which
they are written.
