THE MAIDEN AND THE VIPER.-In the
family OF e settler, who resides some half q
league from Parametta, Australia, was an in.
valid daughter ofan extremely nervous tenn
perament. She was sleeping one summer
afternoon in u hammock swung bstween
two supporting standards in the shade ofthe
piazza, when she was suddenly awakened
by feeling something cold and moist cling
ing about her throat. She put beT hand to
the spot and clasped the body Of a snake
Just back of the head, and, with horriied
CRY. wrenched with all her strength to pull
it away This was the first instructive ac-
tion of the moment, but So great was her
terror that she speedily lost all conscious
ness of her position. Her hand, however,
still grssped the snake where she had first
seized cpon it and with such conyulsive
force that the creature was rendered power
less. The cry of the terrified girl brought
the father from within the house, who in.
stantly came to her relief; but IN the fit
which her fright had induced, her hand
slowly contracted about the creatures throat
with force which she could not possibly
have exerted when awake, and, before her
fingers were unclasped by the aid of bit OF
hammock cord, the reptile was completely
strangled. Fortunately the creature had
not bitten the girl before she seized it, and
after that it was unable to do 80. 1t is said
to have been four feet long and of o poison.
