Mr.. Bfaiue Is reported to have re-
cantly observed Of Americans pursuing
aimless lives abroad:
ssI do not understand how AmeIi-
cans. unless they are called over mere
nv business. can be contented to settse
down ia Europe without any aim OF
object beyond that of getting Into iof-
alsn society, or being taken up by some
"a the hapeers.on Of foreign courts.
These peup,e are In exile, and 90 not
annnar to understand that they are
practically banlshed. They iesd Is2y
iIves and amount to nothing. Ihey
ana IN losing their own nationality ana
m mot acquire that Of any other coun-
ltry. They lose their chance OF becom-
mo acme one al home and never sue
c.ed Ia becoming anything over here.
| Az best they are only tolerated In for-
/ aicn society, and rarely, II ever, become
really intimate with u.

Deadly Snakes.

In the United States there are four
different species Of rattlesnakes-
ground or black rattlesnake, the Flor.
ida species, the mountain serpent, and
that of the Staked Plains. The rattle
snake found east of the Mississippi, and
in the wooded district just west Of that
river, is essentially the same as the
Florida species, although sometimes
classed as separate variety.
OF all these the Staked Plains rattle
snake is the largest, most active, and
most dangerous. Six feet is not an I'M
usual length, while seven-foot snakes
have on several occasions been killed.
These serpents measure sometimes ten
inches around the body, and recove-ies
from their venom are very rare.
The Florida rattlesnake comes next
in size, while the short, stumpy ground
snake, scarcely ever more than three
feet long, is the least venomous.
Beside the rattlesnake there are three
other venomous serpents found in this
country-the copperhead, the moccasin,
land and water, and small and very
rare snake found in Arizona, which is
considered the most deadly of all.
This snake lies in the dust, and strikes
like streak of lightning at everything
that approaches. A peculiar fact about
this snake is that it is nearly completely
blind, and has the keenest hearing of
any snake known. These reptiles are
very rare, and but half dozen speci-
mems are found in any OF our museums.

Exercise for Male and Female.

It is useless and worse, to persist III
claiming that physical exercise for men
and women should be alike in degree or
kind. In happy, sexless childhood,
bows and girls may indeed be allowed
tba same diversions and muscle train
ing; but when their lives begin to sepa-
rate bv development Of sexual instincts
land it is marvellous how early these
occasionally manifest themselves, it is
no longer practicable nor right to insist
mon q similarity of exercise for dissimi-
lar structures. Neither by nature nor
by training are men and women allke'
and every attempt to make them so IN
physical capacity only acts injuriously
upon the weaker se1.-Dr. Wm: r.

In recent report on the prevalence
OF diphtheria at Enfield, England, DIR.
Bruce Low, of the Medical Department,
of the local government board, gave
some striking incidents of the long.
suspected fact that infectious disease
may be spread by domestic animals.
Cats, being the most common household
pet, are especially liable to carry dis
ease to children. DR.. Low mentions a
number of cases where these animals
were afflicted with diphtheria during the
epidemic in Enfield. and were evidently
the agents for conveying it to children
who fondled them. Under these cir.
cumstances Miss Pussy can hardly be
called harmless" however necessary"
she may be in other respects.

oh, the blooming, blooming hustle,

With me you will agree,
That this absurd illusion
