a CO8RA'S REVENGE.

How e. Veno5nous Reptile Punished the
Slayer of Its Mate.
Those who are familiar with the habits OF
snakes say that when person kills snake
he must look out for its mate. In the Home
tvarc Mail the following tragic incident OF
cobra's vengeance 10 related OF Andrew
Fischer, an employee Of the Madras Railway
Company. One day, while seated in the
veranda of his bungalow, he observed two
large cobras on the barren plain luEne dlateiy
in front OF the house.
Aiming himself with stout stick, he pro-
ceeded to the spot and encountered the
snakes. he succeeded in killing one OF
them, while the other, which had been
slightly wounded, managed to escape. Mr..
Fischer hunted about for the runaway but
could not find it. He then returned to his
bungalow and rested for some time, as he
was off duty.
Later in the day he prepared to go to his
work, and with that object got out his
clothes to dress. He sat on his cot and was
about to put on his shirt when he felt some
thing bite him on the back.
He turned round, and. to his horror, found
snake on the cot behind him: which he is
said to have recognized as the cobra ne had
wounded that morning. He Immediately
sought relief, and all kind Of remedies were
applied, but to no effect, and he died in the
evening.
tits commonly believed among the Hin
dus that no animal is more revengeful than
the cobra, and that if az attempt is made
to kill it, and it escapes, it never gives itself
rest until it has wreaked its vengeance upon

How to Choose a Husband.

Shakespeare's advice to girls about the
see ton of husband is the best in print,
without excepting Poor Richard and Han
nah More: Dear Kate, take q fellow Of
plain and uncolned constsncy. for he, per-
force. must do the right, because he hath
not the gift to WOO in other places; for
these fellows Of infinite tongue, that can
rhyme themselves into ladies' favor. they
do always reason themselves out again.
What, speaker is but a prater: rhyme is
but ballad. A good leg will fall astraight
back will stoop; a black beard will turn
white; curled pate will grow bald; full
eye will wax hollow: but a good heart, Kate
is the sun and moon, or rather the sun aud
not the moon; for it shines bright, and
never changes, but keeps its course truly"

ANCIENT FOOTWEAR.
The Twenty-Five Kinds of Shoes VYoru
by the Greckan EyOEnen.

The Twenty-Five Kinds of Shoes VporA
by the Grecian Women.
Polycratcs affirms, says the Shoe a1d
Leather Reporter, that the t5recian wonen
possessed twenty-five different kinds Of
foot gear. which may be classed as those;
which cover all the foot up to the ankle and
those which are simply Il sole tied On the
top Of the foot with wide ribbons or straps.
The latter are subdivided into two kins.
The ssrhadies'' and the "cumanides,' as
their names signify {easyl, were slippers,
which the women wore only in their apart
ments Or when visiting intimate friends.
In the latter case a slave carried box con-
tanning their regular sandals The boxes
were sometimes ornamented in gold and
jewels. The ''rhades" were very pliable
and were easily rolled up. They were made
Of cloth embroidered in various colors, like
our modern slippers. Plato and Phere-
crates make frequent mention Of this ele-
CANT footwear. The "eumanides'' was &.
strange invention, and was made of either
cloth Or the skin Of stag. Second class,
or ''crepldes," were intended for walking
on the public streets, and were held so SOL
idly to the foot as to almost entirely cover
1t. Another species of shoe was often fur
he'd with four cork soles about finger
thick, and glued one to the other.
The "peribarides' were also used. The
shoes were in the shape of q beat, and
gracefully fastened around the leg by wide
ribbons. These could only be worn by no
BILE and by free women
The aristocratic women and the courte-
sans enveloped their feet in footrcovering
of white cloth, lightly ana gracefully made,
called "persiques." tBancde' was a kind
of ornamented slipper made of saffron cloth;
its name was given to q dance called ssbau-
cisme'' a~
The 'snymph1des'' were light and of white
cloth; they were worn only by affianced,
girls until marriage, or a short time after.
The ssnosides" were low, open slippers,
with thin, soft soles; they We're worn by
old women and inyalids. r

Nothing but Limburger.

Occasionally narrowing accounts Of the
sufferinss Of the survivors of shipwrecks
are published, and it makes one's blood run
cold to hear of people out for days in an
open boat with only two crackers and

pass by and no friendly sail comes in sight
the ratons are reduced to one cracker and
two buckets of water, and at last lots are
drawn to decide as to which Of the party is
in the best condition, etc. But, says the

into insignifcance compared to the suffer

Interesting Gossip About tho Wife Of the
Elect.
Mrs. Levi P Morton, wife OF the Vice
President-elect, is handsome--undeniably
handsome, writes Nellie Bly, in the New
York World She is about five feet six
inches in height. She would be a little too
heavy for a girI-although there are many
girls as heavy-but she has tapering
waist and beautifully nodded neck and
arms. Her eyes are large, bluish-gray, and
very expressive. Her. complexion is q
healthy white She can boast of her nose,
and her mouth is exquisitely aristocratic.
Her lips are curved and full, and every
smile awakens the most babyish and be-
witching dimples have almost ever seen.
Although Mrs. Morton's face has not one
wrinkle, and her years scarcely seem to
warrant 1t, her hair looked quite gray in the
dinnly-lighted room. Gray hair is always
all attraction, even when combined with 8
youthful face. 1t was dressed very neatly,
twisted to the crown of the head and there
rested in heavy, smooth coils, met by q
wavy fringe on the forehead.
OF course, every woman will! want to
know how Mrs Morton was dressed. Well,
she wore a gray cotton gown with a waist
which fitted toperfection, the skirt trimmed
in white, OPEN work embroidery A straight
gold bar fastened the collar, and there was
no other jewelry except a large solitaire
and a large emerald on the third finger of
the left hand A gray cotton gown, the
material of which couldn't have cost more
than Eve dollars! Think Of it. And a
woman, too, whose husband is quoted at
some 500, 100000

said Mrs. Morton, when urged her to tell
me of herself "My name was Anna Liv-
