Habits OF the Cobra.

II. NJ. Phipson. secretary Of the Bonn
bay Natural History society. says that
the cobra lays from twelve to twenty
eggs once year during the rains, and tine
young show signs of vcnomous powers at
an early age. The cobra is timid, and is
about the only poisonous snake used by
''snake clarmers, being the only one
that can be easily handled. You have
only to attract It's attention with one
hand, he says. seize it with the other in
the middle Of the body, and the snake is
yours. It strikes ut moving things, but
unlike other snakes. it never turns and
bites the hand that is holding it, Snakes
have no external ears, and il is consil-
cred doubtful whether the cobra hears
the music Of the charmers at all. It is
attracted by the movements Of the must
cal instrument. They feed freely on
young rats. birds and toads.-Ncw York

In order to avoid errors In dispensing
poisons, IN ingenious inventor a few
years ago constructed patent shelf upon
which all the bottles containing poisons
were TO be placed. II Is made Of two
metallic plates, held apart by spring,
and 80 evenly balanced that when one
bottle Is taken off the equilibrium 10
destroyed and the plates come together,
which creates an electric current, and an
alarm bell Is rung. Thus, II a clerk
should take down bottle Of poison, the
alarm would attract his attention and
warn him Of the dangerous drug. This
was called the poison BELL" They were
introduced into drug stores oil over the
country, but they never became popular
on account Of q peculiar trait in all Gus
toners. When the alarm rung, the Gus
toner would ask: '.What does that
meant and when told II was the poison
bel" the innovation was never forgot
ten, and ever afterward the customer
would feel rather chary about taking the
prescription when he heard the warning
tones Of the ''poison bell" In this way
it would not he great while until nearly
oil the customers found out the meaning
Of the alarm.
As many people have q superstitious
fear about taking medicine with poison
in It. they would imagine that possibly
the doctor or the prescription clerk was
making q mistake. and they would hest
tate In accepting the medicine. Poisons
are used IN small amounts In vast num-
Der Of prescriptions, and the poison
bell'' was kept busy in attracting tho
painful attention Of the customers. Why,
o nervous lady would come In with
harmless prescription, but the moment
the poison bell' rung she would DO rs
disconnected as IL its tones were her
death kncll. Hence, tho ''poison bell"
fell into disuse, rs Il was continually
arousing the apprehension Of customers.
One other superstition, might say, that
customers have is the prevailing idea that
medicines Of q green color are poison.
Several harmless compounds will pro-
ducc green color, but customers arc in
variably suspicious Of theme. Falk in

No man can tell whether book will
take or not. The criticism Of the press
seems to have little effect upon tho pop
ularity of book. Some books owe their
success to singular combinations Of cir.
cumstanccs. A book that had the phe-
nomenal sale Of $4,000 copies owed its
success very largely to the auspices I'M
der which it was brought out. A book
that otherwise would fall fiat might hap

they make more at other literary work
