PARIS, March 15.
To the Editor OF the JouRsAL AND COURIER:
Even though there were no other i'm
provements it could show, the third re-
public has abundantly justified its exist
encs by the development 1t has effected in
the educational system. Public education
in France is divided into three depart
msnts, primary, secondary, and higher,
and each of these has experienced within
twenty years an infusion of new life, oou-
pied with an extension of its boundaries,
such as had not been known in the preced-
ing fifty years, and which, under the old
order of things, might not have been res-
lized for half q century to come. Chief
amongst these developments is that which
has made primary education compulsory,
and at the same time absolutely free. An
other is the rapid multiplication of tech
nical schools, which have increased at
such rats under the new impulse given
to them that the twenty-siK which existed
In 1879 had grown In 1888 to the number
| of four hundred, with the most gratifying
progress since that time. Then there was
the establishment in 1880 of public lycees
for girls, which the state hsld to be neces-
sary, owing to the fact that the training
of the womanhood of the country had
been heretofore almost entirely In the
hands of the Catholic church. This, II
need hardly be said, is another reform
which has produced gratifying results; and
finally there has been witnessed In France,
since the republic was re established, 9

THE FEAR OF SNAKES.
Why Many Children and Some Crow
Persons Dislike Them.

Persons Dislike Them.
There are authenticated instances of
children becoming attached to snakes
and making pets of them. The solu-
ton of question of this kind is some
times to be found in the child mind.
My experience is that when yonng
children see this creature its strange
appearance and manner of progression,
SO unlike those of other animals known
to them, affect them with Amusement
and a sense of mystery. and that they
fear it just as they would any other
strange thing. Monkeys are doubtless
affected in much the same way, although
in a state of nature, where they inhabit
forests Astounding with the larger con-
strictors and venomous. tree-snakes, it
is highly proba BIKE that they also possess
a traditional fear of the serpent form.
1t would be strange if they did not.
The experiment of presenting a Gagged
monkey with a serpent carefully
wrapped up in newspaper, and watch
ing his behavior when he gravely opens
the parcel, expecting to find nothing
more wonderful than the familiar
sponge-cake or Succulent banana-well,
such an experiment has been recorded
in half a hundred important scien-
tific works, and out of respect
to ones masters one ought to en-
deavor not to smile when reading
it A third view might be taken which
would account for our feeling towards
the serpent without either instinct or
tradition. Extreme fear of all ophid-
ians might simply result from vague
knowledge of the fact that some kinds
are venomous; that, in some rare cases,
death follows swiftly on their bite: and
that, not being sufficiently intelligent
to distinguish the noxious from the in
nocuous-at all events while under the
domination of sudden violent emotion
we destroy them all alike, thus adopt
ing Herod's rough and ready method
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1893-07-21

of Kidding his city of one inconvenient
babe by general slaughter of inno-
cents.
1t might be objected that in Europe,
where luminosity to the serpent is great
est, death from snaxe-bite is hardly to
be feared; that Fontana's six thousand
experiments with the viper, showing
how small rs the amount of venom
possessed by this species, how rarely it
has the power to destroy human life,
have been before the world for CEN
tury. And although it must be admit
ted that Fontana's work is not in the
hand of every peasant the fact that
death from snake-bite is rare thing in
Europe. probably not more than one
person losing his life from this cause
for every two hundred and fifty who
perish by hydrophobia, of all forms of
death the most terrible. Yet, while
the sight of snake excites in a major
ity of persons the most violent emo
tons, dogs are universal favorites,
and we have them always with
us, and make pets of them in
spite of the knowledge that they
may at any time become bid and in
flict that unspeakably dreadful suffer
ing and destruction on us. This leads
to the following question: Is it not at
least probabl that our excessive fear
of the serpent, so unworthy of us as
rational beings, and the cause of so
much unnecessary cruelty, is, partly,
at all events, result of our supcrsti-
tious fear of sudden death? For there
exists, we know, an exceedingly wide
spread dclusion that the bite of a ven
omous serpent must kill, and kill
quickly. Compared with such ophidian
monarchs as the bush-master, fer-de-
lance, hamadryad. and tic-polonga, the
viper of Europe-the poor viper of
many experiments and much mot too
readable) literature-may be regarded
as almost harmless-at all events not
more harmful than the hornet. Never
theless, in this cold. northern world,
even as in other worlds where nature
Celebrates more potent juices, the delu
sion prevails, and may be taken in ac-
count here. although its origin cannot
now be discussed.
For my own part | am inclined to be-
lieve that we regard serpents with
destructive hatred purely and simply
because we are SO taught from child
hood. A tradition may be handed
down without writing, or even articu
late speech. We have not altogether
ceased to be ''lower animals" ourselves.

tions that a thing is fearful to you, and
he will fear it: that you hate it, and he

Tomatoes can be cooked in so many
different ways that if the invalid
relishes them there is a wide field for
exercise of ingenuity in preparing
them. Fresh ones are delicious baked.
Cut one in thin slices, place these in a
dainty dish, sprinkle each slice with
pepper and salt and place IA small
piece of butter in the middle of it,
cover the top with breadcrumbs dotted
with scraps of butter. Bake not more
than half an hour. In stewing canned
tomatoes it will be found an improve
ment to add few grains of baking
soda to correct the acidity, and a very
little sugar, not enough to make them
taste sweet. They require a generous
piece of butter and enough bread
crumbs to thicken them. a little
grated nutmeg improves the flavor.
Too long cooking increases the acidity.
