OCTOBER.
BY MRS. ELLEN NJ. MITCHELL

BY MRS. ELLEN NJ. MITCHELL.
wizard month again thou'rt here,
And all the sunsets of the year
With skilful touch thy magic weaves
To wrap around thy dying leaves,
And crown with royal pon1p and glow
The sky above, the earth below.
In some enchanted loom were wrought
Those tints that human art ne'er caught,
And airy sprites, by Jack Frost led,
The work with dainty fingers sped,
Till tree and'shrub, in robes of fire,
Like martyrs, unto heaven aspire.
From seas to seas of splendor tossed,
In waves on waves of color lost,
Thy days fade out, and fancies throng
Upon tn heart, and drift along
Yon blazing pathway of the sun,
We see Gods saints walk, one by one.
Hands beckon over the shining stream,
With golden quivers all agleam,
And misty phantom shapes arise,
Cloud sentinels along the skies,
Till fades the rose and purple light,
And day at last is lost in night.
Then how the shadows come and go!
How soft the faint and silvery glow
The moon sheds oer the autumn leaves
That stir and moan with every breeze;
For ahi beyond this month doth wait
November, bleak and desolate.
Some sadness still turks everywhere,
Zen in this soft October air;
For as in spring young hope is born,
In autumn memory sits forlorn,
And swift the lessons old return
That human hearts reluctant learn.
But what though all things pass away,
Fen as the falling leaves decay?
What though our lives are but breath,
And Love walks hand-in-hand with Death?
There comes resurrection day
Beyond October beckons May.

SNAKES VERSUS ENAAAccording to
official statistics, out of grand total of
2,905 human beings killed in India by
''wild beasts no fewer than 20,667 fell
victims to snake bites. But man had his
revenge on his ancient foe. In the Bonn
bay presidency alone rewards we're paid for
the deaths of nearly 100000 venomous
serpents, and the Punjaub, which had pre-
viously been rather apathetic inthe matter,
frightened up and gallantly slew its so 600.
The other divisions did not do SO well, and
the result is seen in very high rate Of
death by snake bites in both Madras and
Bengal Europeans very rarely suffer harm
from snakes, their boots protecting their
feet, the part of the body which is struck
by most serpents. The cobra rears itself
and strikes higher, when there is time to
take up that attitude of attack, but by so
doing it becomes plainly visible, and can be
avoided or killed without much risk In
spite of the recorded slaughsgr, no mention
is made that the snakes show signs of be-
coming scarcer Nor will that be likely to
happen until the jungles which afford har-
borage to the enemy are cleared away

The explorers in the Congo Valley are
surprised by the crudity of life there. The
natives have no domesticated beasts of any
sort, nor do they raise or catch any animals
to eat, as they know nothing of flesh as
food. No semblance of clothing is worn,
and diet is practically confined to spon--
taneous products of the soil. Letters from
missionaries say, too, that the negroes there
are so low in mentality that any hope of
Christianizing them must be based on
long and patient course of intellectual train
ing. They are too densely ignorant to
comprehend the simplest statements of doc
trine.
Books serve to isolate man;that which
is told us by word of mouth is far more
potent.
