predominant. The Demonstration,
called here araga venado, or deer
sWalloWer, is very common and
grows to an enormous size. The an
aconda is of tie same species as the
boa, but is water snake. The flesh
of the anaconda is very white and
tender, and in many parts of the
country is much esteemed as food.
Consul Plumacher says that many
foreigners who have eaten it. inform
him that anaconda meat is very pal
atable. Neither the boa nor the an
acOnda is venomous, but their con-
strictive powers render them terrible
adversaries. The rattlesnake
abounds in the savanras and has
been known to reach a length OF
eight feet. The macaurel, viejita, IT,

chief poisonous snakes. The last
named is found in great numbers in
trees along the river banks. Canoes

Thought He Had Better Wait

A well-known Scotch bishop never
married. While he held a certain see
he was, of course, a subject of consid-
cradle interest to the celibate ladies
of the neighborhood. One day he
received visit from one of them who
had reached the age of desperation.
Her manner was solemn. yet some
what embarrassed; it was evident
from the first that there was some
thing very particular upon her mind.
The good bishop spoke with his usual
kindness, and encouraged her to
be communicative. By and by he
drew from her that she had very
strange dream, or rather, as she
thought, q revelation from heaven.
On further questioning she confessed
that it had been intimated to her
that she was to be unitedin marriage
to the bishop. One may imagine
what a start this gave to the quiet
scholar, who had long before married
zhis books and never thought of any
other bride. He recovered, however,
and addressing her very gently, said
that doubtless these intimations
were not to be despised AS yet,
however, the designs of heaven were
but imperfectly explained, as they
had been revealed to only one of the
parties. He would wait to see if any
similar communication should be
made to himself and when it hap
pened he would be sure to let her
know ...
