HIS MAJESTY'S SNAKES.
The. serpents Which Were the Favorite
Pets of an Indian Monarch.
Youthss C,orn nanfon

The Serpents Which Were the Favorite
Pets of an Indian Monarch.
Youths Companion.l
That person can enjoy keeping snakes
for pets is incomprehensible to those who
look on snake merely as disgusting and
dangerous creature; but the true student OF
nature finds something interesting in the
snakes habits of life, and never ceases to
admire its sinuous. gliding movements,
which are the perfection of ease and grace.
The late King of Dude had snakery in
the gardens of his palace near Calcutta, and
there snakes of all sorts and sizes were as
sembled.
SIT was an oblong pit" says one who had
seen it often, about 80 feet long by 20 feet
broad, the walls being about IL feet high,
and perfectly smooth, so that snake could
not climb up. In the center of the pit there
was large block of rough masonry, per-
forated SO that it was as full of holes as a
sponge. In this honeyeombed block the
snakes dwelt, and when the sun shone
brightly, they came out to bask or to feed.
"His Majesty used to have live frogs put
into the pit, and amused himself BY seeing
the hungry snakes catch the frogs. When
a large snake catches a small frog, it is all
over in an instant; but if a small snake
catches large frog, so that he cannot
swallow it at once, the frogs cries are
piteous to hear. Again and again I have
heard them while out shooting, and have
gone to the bush or tuft of grass from which
the piercing cries came-sometimes in time
sometimes too late TO save poor froggy,
though the'snake generally got shot.
"But a frog has been known to turn
the tables on the snake. Two gentlemen in
Cachar, some years ago, saw small snake
sieze small frog and attempt to swallow
it. But suddenly large frog jumped for
ward, seized the snakes tail and began to
swallow the snake.
"How the affair might have ended cannot
be told, because my friends imprudently
drew near to watch the combat, when the
frogs and the snake took alarm, and the big
frog disgorged the snakes tail, the snake
released the little frog, and they all dis
persed, each his own way"

Beecham's Pills.

It has recently been demonstrated that
some articles of merchandise, which have
been before the public of England for the
last half century, are nine times more used
there than all other principal patent medi-
cines put together. We refer to Beecham' 8
Pills, which in order to meet the wishes and
requirements expressed by Americans,
many of whom already know their value.
are now introduced in such thorough
manner that no home need be without them
in America. We believe this shrewd and
discerning people will soon join in the uni
versal testimony that they "are worth a
guinea box" although they can be pur-
chased of druggists for but twenty-five cents.
These pills are round and will therefore
roll. They have already rolled into every
English-speaking country in the world, and
they are still rolling. All sufferers from in
digestion. fatulency, constipation and all
other forms of stomach and liver troubles
have now this famous and inexpensive
remedy within their reach; but should they
find. upon inquiry, that their druggist does
not keep BEECHAM's PILLS, they can send
twenty-five cents to the General Agents for
the United States, B. F. Allen & Co., 1856
Canal Street, New York City, who will
promptly mail them to any address.

Indications That Many of Our School
Ma'ams Will go TO the Exposition
Teachers Academy Reconstructed.
In all probability Pittsburg will have
quite showing of its educational people at
the Paris Exposition Since the announce
mnet last Saturday, that Mr.. Luckey had
received circular stating that 33-day
trip to Paris was obtainable for 500, the
idea of a visit to Europe has struck num-
Der of Pittsburg teachers most forcibly.
Inquiries regarding the trip have been
coming in quite rapidly. The success of the
excursion from Pittsburg depends on the mum.
Der of teachers and their friends who are Will
ing to make up party.
The following named teachers will likely
embark on the briny ocean in July for Europe:
Mrs. M. B. Redman, the Misses Hare, Young
Janet McCutcheon, Morgan, Anna Flack,
Emma Bridge, 8. A. Platt, M. Hays and Mrs.
Petty.
That important meeting of the Teachers
Academy that has been heralded for some time
tyok place yesterday at the Grant school
There are $50 members in this society, and one
of its important tenets is secrecy. To have the
academy more benefting and active body, a
committee was appointed to make important
changes in the;constitutiOn.
In1SmuCh Is allOWeQ 1Or OUTSIDE teachers TO
know: The new constitution was adopted yes
terday, and there must have been some clause
in it that told them to keep the proceedings of
this body very quiet. The members always
have been pretty quiet about iG. but yesterday
they were more mum" than ever.
The old plan of eecting members is also
abolished. Heretofore committee of three
was notified at different intervals to visit a
teacher proposed as amember for the academy,
to see If she were eligible to membership.
This was always done without the proposed
members knowledge. At the next meeting in
June revision of the membership roll will be
made.
At yesterdays session Miss Lillian Hoag, of
the Grant school, was initiated and the Misses
Olive M. Smith, NJ. A. O'Donnel, of the Mount
Albion school, and Katie Evans, Of Soho, were
elected to membership.
Yesterday the following programme was ar
ranged for the Prosser Benefit Concert, which

CHAPTER XVI.

My hope was vain. A few days after
wards Lady Seyerne was. to use the
nurses phrase, worse than ever. The
blow that Lady Yorke had feared fell;
the terrible oppose which she had dread
ed came. For II day or two Lady Sc
verne had been better. She came down
to dinner. and was careful what she
drank. There was relief on Marks
face and on Lady Yorke's. On the
third day an awful occurrence happen
ed. Whether Martha was tired, off her
guard, or in Ignorance of what was 60
ing on, l know not. Perhaps Lady Sc
verne had deceived her. know only
the results. Martha dressed her lady
ship for dinner, and Lady Severne asked
for a favorite dress Of hers, a handsome
white and gold brocaded satin. Martha
was delighted that she should take SO
great an interest in her appearance;
that was always a good sign. She evil
IDENTIFY did not perceive anything wrong
IN Lady Severne. or possibly the mis-
chief was done after she left her. We
were all in the draWing-room, waiting
for the dinner-bell. Lord Severne was
talking to Captain Forester, more at
ease and less anxious than | had seen
him for many days; and Lady Yorke
looked as though Il great load had been
taken from her mind. Seine one had
just inquired if we should have the
pleasure of Lady Severne at dinner, and
Lady 1orke had answered, with a
bright smile, that she was much better
and would certainly join them, when
the door opened, and we saw her stand
ing on the threshold. saw the CLEAN of
white and gold, saw the light in the dia-
monds, the graceful figure, the white
jewelled hands. And. alas. how shall |
tell it? In II moment / saw what was
the matter-so did Mark and Lady
Yorke; and we all three FASTENED to-
wards her. Her face was ghastlv. her
eyes were wild, and a leering smile
lowered on her lips. Half conscious
herself that she was not able to move.
yet with o mad defiance of her own
feelings, she tried TO walk with a dig
niiied step into the room and, before
one of us could reach her. could put
OFT a hand to save her, she had fallen
upon her face, to the disney and dis
tresS of every one present. In less than
a minute Lord Seyerne had raised his
wife in his arms and borne her away
Lady Yorke. with d presence of mind
/ have never seen equalled, but witt, n
face rs white as death, turned to her
guests.
Lady Severne las fallen over her
train she said. quietly. Il wish those
long sweeping trains were ont of fash
ion: they are very dangerous"
There was a polite murinur of regret,
but nc one spoke. Whether any of
those assembled there knew the truth,
had really seen and understood her con-
