Have Snakes the Power of scentg

l had brought home one evening large
but harmless snake which l had killed
while crossing the road about half a mile
from my huts. On my arrival the cody
cook at once said: 'Him she snake, sar Nc
good you bring him hereby and by, to
morrow, next day, father snake he come
here and stay" On the following afternoon
a monkey, chained up outside the hut into
which l had taken the dead reptile ap
peared very excited. l entered and found
a somewhat similarly marked snake lying
almost on the very spot whereon had
placed the slain one the evening before
After fight and struggle I killed the sec
ond reptile, which proved to be a male o1
the same species.
Under ordinary circumstances I should
have regarded the appearance of the male
as curious coincidence, but the prophecy
of the cook, based upon his traditional
and practical knowledge, testified to the
recognized habit of snakes in thus follow
ing up their mates. As carried the slair
female on a stick the whole way from where
had killed her to my home, Twas anxious
to find out by what faculty, whether by
scent or otherwise, the male had tracked
her to my hut.
The cody, however, was unable to give
any information on this point, nor could he
explain why the male had come to the hut
where the female had only been momentari
ly placed, instead of going to the rubbish
heap a few yards off, where she was buried

Migrating i,lrd. and their r1Irh..


Many discussions have been maintain.
ed as to the manner Of fight of birds in
migrating. The wild geese are well
known to have a way of gathering in a
large 6ock and travelling in something
Ike a military procession, but for the
most part naturalists have differed in
their ideas on this, as they differ SEEM
ingly ON most subjects, some asserting
that most birds fly low. others that
they fly high, etc. Some observations
made by Mr.. W. E. D. Scott, however,
at Princeton college on the night of Oct
10, 1880, give some data upon which to
base an opinion. His observations dis
covered large fight of migratory birds
proved by computations made at the
time to be flying from one to four miles
high above the earth. They were small
birds like the robin. wren, etc. This
leads us to another point-yiz., the dan
gers encountered by birds in their annual
fight. OF course the greatest is by storms,
which beat them far from their course
out to sea, when they drop from exhaus-
ton and are drowned, or to the earth
where the force Of the fall is no less
fatal.-Mrs. ]. B. Southworth in Albany

Girls Don't Argue.

Girls, don't argue. You may be quiter right
In your assertions, but it will not do you
one bit Of good to keep up discussion thnA
will never convince your opponent and only
results in making you appear disagreeable
to onlookers. If you are in the right, it will
be proven soon without the aid of wordy
war and will serve you in much better
stead than il you lose your temper and are
stubbornly insistent regarding some matter
which is perhaps mere trihe after all.
1t is not becoming to q woman to be toe
positive This does not mean that she
should fly to the other extreme and de-
teriorate into namby pamby with no mind
of her own, not at all. She may be as
strong minded as she pleases in certain
sense-strong in the knowledge OF her own
power and therefore too secure tc stoop to
the petty word contests that one hears in
dulged in every day.
The woman who enjoys arguing most is
she who revels in the sound of her own
voice and will take up the cudgels for or
against, regardless of any truthful convic-
tions, but simply for the sake of an argu-
ment. If you say it rains, she will contend
that the sun shines gloriously; If you are
warm, she is cold, and vice versa. She is
like cat whose fur is continually rubbed
the wrong way, and one never hears purr,
but constant snarling and yowling issuing
from her lps.-Philadelph Times.

about the market value of a certain rail
road stock in a Wall street restaurant
two or three days ago. II will bet $10(

"Tll take the bet, /" exclaimed a young

"All right, sir. Put up your red ap

The young man hurried around to o
Broadway fruit store, bought a red ap-
pie for cents and returned to the res.
raurant, where he placed it in the hands
of the cashier of the place. The railroad
man promptly put 800 in bills by the

A Mothers influence and Example.

Nine. Bonaparte, the mother of Napo-
leon /, was woman of plain manners and
simple habits, practical, given to small
economies and to bargaining indefatigably
with tradespeople. Even when her SONS
were at the height of their prosperity she
made prudent provision for possible 'rainy
day." She was called parsimonious. Ger
tainly she did not approve of needless ex-
penditure. But she gave literally to chari-
ties and was ready to hold out a helping
hand to the needy who appealed to her.
When the governor general of Corsica,
Pascal Paoli, wished to yield his country to
England, she displayed nobly generous
spirit of loyalty to France.
She encouraged her sons to risk persecu-
tion, exile, the loss of their property and
even of their lives in remaining faithful to
the annexation of Corsica to France Her
husband had been with Paoi on one of his
campaigns when Corsica was making a
struggle for liberty, and she had accompa-
MED him. At that time Paoli had acquired
agreat respect for her.
He tried to deter her IRON her courageous
resistance to his plans.
"You will be ru,oed, you and yours and
your home, and nothing can ever repair
your nlsiortllnsF," he said.
He sent sevsrnl messages, the last by a
person who said, Madame, if you will write
to the general that you disapprove of your
sons conduct, you may at once regain pos
session of YOU. property"
She replied: "Say to General Paoli that I
thought that he knew me better. Heknows
that myself recommended to my sons the
course that they have taken, and if 1t were
necessary should do so again. have be-
come u Frenchwoman; shall be o true one. !"
Later Paoli gave orders that any mem
bers of the Bonaparte family should be tax
en- dead or alive. Nine. Bonaparte and
her younger children were obliged to leave
their home Mt Aiaccio at midnight and flee
into the mountains
She wasa widow with small means and a
large family, but when she looked back to
Ajaccio and saw her home in flames she said
bravely: mo matter; we ewill build better
one. Vive la France!"
Many years later, when Napoleon was
emperor Of France and Paoh was living in
obscurity in London, she forgave him freely

Herbert Kcloey's First Engagement.


The Brighton theater in Brighton, Eng.
land, saw in 1878 the first appearance of
Herbert Kelcey on the stage. The play was
a comedy called Filtration" and Mr.. Kel-
cey was cast for the part of Archie Terry.
In the company were such prominent Eng.
lish actors as Edward Richton, David Fish
er, Jr., W. S. Penley and Nelson Wheat
croft. II can't just remember the first
lines" said Mr.. Kelcey, "and a week be,
fore made my first appearance l had no
idea of adopting the stage as profession
A friend procured the engagement for me,
and l took it, hardly realizing that was
taking decisive step in my life. As to
my impressions, Twas not nearly as nervous
then as l ain on a first night now. You see,
the responsibility was not as great. For a
year after my first appearance, acting un-
der the advice of Mr.. Richton, Travelled
through the provinces with companies who
changed their bill nightly. 1t was an ex-
cellent school, although we often played to
houses of 16 shillings. At the end of that
year took my first London engagement"

The British Growing Thrifty.

Isthe spendingpower of the British peo.
pie diminishing, or are we, as nation,
learning the painful lesson Of thrift in lit
tie things? tits remarkable fact in con-
nection with the holiday season that at a
large place of London entertainment the
receipts in the refreshment department
on Easter Monday were lower than in
previous years by about 20 per cent. The
demeanor of the visitors to this estab-
lishment left nothing to be desired. They
were orderly, sober and in every way
well behaved. Yet, for some reason or
other, they or their families did not ap-
pear to stand in as much need of solid
and liquid nourishment as in times gone
by. This falling off, it may be remarked,
was not only or chiefly in alcoholic
drinks. 1t extended with equal severity
to the Misunderstanding cup of tea and
the harmless, necessary sandwich. --Lon-

Indeed! What people? Are the peo
pie who wear woolens alarmed at thu
prospect of reduction in the taxes upor
them?
Or is it the manufacturers? If so
why should they be alarmed? They will
get their raw material free, as they die
under the tariff of 1868, when tht
duty on manufactured goods was 20 tc
25 per cent. If that was sufficient te

Pipes For Decorations,

ibid you know that decorating bedroom
walls with mems pipes was a new fancy
among young women?" asked the clever
woman who always knows everything.
"Well, it is, and think the men ought to
appreciate the delicate compliment to their
taste and habits. One very charming girl
/ know had in the corner of her bedroom
an ugly, unavoidable iron pipe. She has
made it thing of beauty by covering it's
entire length with bands and bows of pret-
ty ribbon in all the new and artistic tints.
Here and there in the ribbons she has stuck
dozens of pipes of every variety, ranging
from the long stemmed ones down to the
tiny Tom Thumb opium pipes
"Another girl has long chain of pipes,
tied together with bright yellow ribbons,
hung from the corner of her bookshelves
to the top of window. Still another has
row of pipes of all kinds fastened up the
inside edge Of her door frame, and fourth
has clusters of pipes tied with ribbons min
gled with the pictures on the walls.
1.-THE sentiment which gives rise to the
fancy, nd loubt, is similar to that which
makes man delight in a matchcase made
of q woman's slipper or paperweight
fashioned in the shape of feminine hand
Whatever the significance, the idea from a
decorative standpoint at least is full Of
possibilities. st. Louis Post-D Dispatch.

Young Men In Politics.

Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew has written
for Donahoe's Magazine an article in an
swer to the question, "Should young
men go into politics?" Mr.. Depew an
swers no--that is, he strongly advises
young men not to adopt politics as ca
reer.
But this answer is based upon present
conditions-upon the low estate in which
we find American politics today. How
the tone Of public life is to be raised un-
less young men of strong and conscien-
tious patriotism and unselfshness enter
it and strive to improve it he does not
tell us.
Taking things as they are, however,
this passage from Mr.. Depew's article is
admirable:
every young man should be inter-
ested in politics and take as active a
part in the political affairs Of his neigh
borhood as the time at his disposal from
his business will permit. He should be-
long to some party and understand its
principles. He should attend its eau
cuses and do such party service as he
can. He should never fail to vote on
election day; when there are movements
on foot for reforms necessitated by cor
ruption or to put bad men out Of Office,
he should be on hand and ready to fight
for the redemption Of his city, town or
state. r.. -,str-

and some other features at closer range.

an experience. AS a rule. the utmost ur-
gency of venders and guides can be over

knowing grin and the lateral waving in

fellow, probably tipsy, audaciously de-
clared that we were injuring with our
weight the made ground" and he became
abusive.
Then said to him few sharp words in
the vernacular, and he hung his head in
shame and slunk away. What on earth
did you say to the fellow?" asked Mr. War
ner, "the effect was magical" What had
said was: 'Do you call this Mexican hospi-
tality? Shame on you'll Adisgrace to your
nation! You are the first who has ever
made me unwelcome in Mexico"
And that brutal, nearly naked creature,
apparently with hardly an instinct above

to the assured touch, knowing that he ID
outraged the finest trait among his country
