AS means OF suicide the small ven-
omous serpents Of Oriental countries
have always been In vogue the asp of
Cleopatra recurring to everyone's
memory as a prominent example. In
certain parts Of Bengal there is said
to be certain race Of Gypsies, one Of
whom FOR fee will furnish small
cobra to any applicant and no ques-
ti0ns asked. Aman who desires to
commit murder procures one Of these
reptiles, and places it within bamboo
just long enough to let the head pro-
trude tribe at one end. and the tail
at the other. Armed with this deadly
weapon. the murderer creeps softly to
his enemy's tent at dead Of night, cuts
hole in the wall. and introduces the
bamboo. The tortured reptile, care
less upon whom it wrealxs its animos-
ity, strikes its fangs into the sleeper,
then is withdrawn. and the assassin
steals silently away. Snakes are often
employed in tropical countries as q
sort Of domestic animal. The ship
chambers Of Rio de Janiero. for exam
pie, have each a boa housed among
their bulky goods to act as a rat
catcher; these often become partially
tanned, and are recruited by MENACE
ries, in which service they perform
another utility by affording an income
60 their owners. Belt and other
writers tell how certain species are in
troduced into the houses of Central
and South Americans to clear them of
-oaches and other disagreeable YER
min, and the same is true Of the East
Indian ATTITUDES. Il has even been
done in more northerly chimes. for I
