BROODING SNAKES.
How the Python Mother Matches Out
Her Young.

How the Python Mother Matches Out
Her Young.
The python lays eggs and matches
them by developing a high degree of
heat, as has been proved in the case of
the Indian and African species.
The first careful Investigations of
this subject were made in 1841 by the
renowned naturalist, Achille Valep-
ciennes, in the Jardin des Plantes,
Paris A python there laid fifty eggs
within three hours, which at first were
oval, but pointed toward the poles; the
shells were soft and Of a gray color;
they soon changed to perfect egg
shape and became white, and the shells
hardened somewhat, although they re
manned pliable, like leather, and were
lusterless and rather rough. Their
length varied from two and half to
four and a half inches.
After laying the eggs the snake
gathered them together in a heap I'M
der the cover she had in her box,
wound the rear part of her body
around the base of this heap, and then
formed a cone-shaped spiral of the rest
of her body around the whole, her
head closing the top. Not single egg
was visible.
After fifty-six days the first young
ones crawled out. They We're about
two inches long. The temperature in
the center Of the heap of eggs was 105
degrees Fahrenheit, while that of the
box was only 72.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Two other pythons tried to hatch
their eggs in the London Geological
garden-one in 1862 and the other in
1881. In these cases the difference be
tween the temperature inside of the
heap Of eggs and the outside air was
much less; but the eggs were spoiled
aud no young were Matched.

A cello Of Old London.

One of the most interesting relics of
old London is st. Johns gate, Clerken-
well, which, because it does not hap
pen to lie in one of the main arteries
of the big city, is not so well known,
even to Londoners, as it should be. It
is the only remaining portion Of the
important Priory of St. John, which
dates from the fourteenth century. The
old gateway has literary interest at
tached to it, for in the room above the
archway DR.. johnson worked for Cave,
the printer, for small weekly stipend;
and the Gentleman's Magazine, which
to this day bears picture of the arch
way on its cover, was first printed
here. The archway had latterly be-
come much defaced and weather-worn,
but it has recently been restored as a
memorial to the duke of Clarence, who
was first sub-prior Of the Order of st.
John. The order as now revived en-
braces the ST. John Ambulance associ-
alton and is busy in other good works

Syrup

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. "I am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter was on trip to the City
ofVicksburg, Miss. where got we'll
drenched in shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and 1 caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. l
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe. and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since. "

THE WASHINGTON COMMISSION.

1t has been decided as expedient
by the Legislature that a royal COM
mission should be sent to Washing
ton for the purpose of promoting
better commercial relations between
the United States and the Hawaiian
Islands. The sum of $4,000 has been
appropriated to pay the expenses Of
this commission, in spite of the
watchword of the "strictest econo-
my" with which the legislation of
the session was opened and, in some
cases, to an injurious extent OBJ
served. AS if it was present in their
minds that the lawmakers of the
United States knew as much already
as the commissioners can tell them
of Hawaii's condition, some men,
bers in supporting the proposition
said the object of the commission
was not to give but to get informa-
ton in Washington. However, the
decision has been made, and it re-
mains for Her Majesty in Cabinet
Council not only to exercise rare
discretion in the selection of COM
missioners, but also great deal of
Judgment in formulating instruc-
tions for their guidance when they
arrive in the capital of the United
States. If they only go to repeat
the tiresome chestnut that the Nc
Kinley Act has hurt lis and we are
in sore necessity for remedial meas
ures by America, their expenses
had better be left in our impoverish-
ed treasury as Government realiza-
| ton. American statesmen will not
be moved greatly by being clumsily
told that their tariff legislation does
not suit foreign even if friendly
country. They know already that
their tariff is a painful infiction to
many countries, and in the eyes of
some of them that is its merit and
its glory.

Vaccination.
EDITOR BuLLETIN:-

EDITOR BULLETIN
A question of the utility of vacci-
nation was lately discussed both in
the Legislature and among the pub
lie. Although the professional body
of these Islands, headed by the
Board of Health, have unanimously
expressed themselves in favor of
compulsory vaccination, still some
people may yet entertain certain
misgivings regarding the correctness
of the legislative action. In order
to convince the most sceptical and
encourage citizens themselves to
watch the proper enforcement of
the law and thus protect their own
interest, l beg to call their attention
to the following:
In India, where Brahmanical pre-
judice has ever stood in the way of
sanitary progress, the mortality from
smallpox has, until recent years,
been appalling. Repeated attempts
to introduce vaccination met with
violent opposition from high-caste
Hindoos, some of whom, however,
allowed their daughters to be vacci-
mated just for experiment, girls be-
ing, according to their ideas, of not
much value. As a result of this
policy the girls escaped both death
and disfguration, while the boys
were carried off by the thousands,
seeing which the Brahmans relented
and vaccination is gradually gaining
favor, having been made compulsory
in Calcutta in 1880, and in Madras
in 1884, other cities and districts
having fallen into line. The num-
ber of deaths from smallpox in
Madras during the six years imme-
diately preceding the enactment of
compulsory vaccination, from 1879
to 1884 inclusive, was 9SO9, yearly
average of 1884, while during the six
years following, from 1885 to 1890,
there were only 1870 deaths, or on an
average 32 year, In the unpro-.
tected period the smallest number
OF deaths $3.50 occurred in 1882, and
the greatest (4O64) in 1884. In 1885
the death rate fell to 26 and in 1886
there was onl y one death from
smallpox, Since then there has
been again steady rise, owing, per-
haps, to laXness in enforcing the
law, the deaths in 1889 numbering
/ l3; in 1888, 36; in 1889, 45, and in
1890, 60. Surely these figures ought

1t seems that town house will

orleans are getting to be as fond of

the London season, German water
ing places and Partisan excitements.
AS "Bostonians" or "New Workers"
they will no longer appear before
the world, but the names of their
country homes, with the states or
counties in which they are located,
corresponding to the English
"shires," will be printed on their
visiting cards, and at least in Eu-
rope will produce a much more dis
tinguished effect. So the luckless

clined to endow with the nucleus of

The following choice bit of word painting

The following choice bit of word painting
occurs in Hawthorne's Marble Faun
"Women be they of what earthly rank
they may, however gifted with intellect or
genius, or endowed with awful beauty, have
always some little handiwork ready to fill
the tiny gap of every vacant moment. A
needle is familiar to the fingers of them all.
A queen, no doubt, plies it on occasion; the
woman poet can use it as adrotly as her
pen; the woman's eye, that has discovered
new star, turns from it's glory to send the
polished little instrument cleaning along
the hem of her kerchief, or to darn a casual
fray in her dress. And they have greatly
the advantage of us in this respect. The
slender thread of silk or cotton keeps them
united with the small, familiar, gentle in
terests of life, the continually operating in
OF the character, and carry off what would
morbid sensibility; A vast deal of human
sympathy runs along this electric line,
stretching from the throne to the wicker
keeping high and low in species of COM
munion with their kindred beings"

of life? See to it that your husbands pro-
vide for the future welfare of their families
