There is q certain GOODNESS almost to
be called a positive want of cordially
between snakes and human beings
More, the snake is never n social favor
lite among the animals called lower. No
body makes an intimate friend of a
snake. Popular natural history books
are filled and running over with anec-
dotes of varying elegance and mendac-
ity, setting forth extraordinary affec-
ton and cooperation between cat and
a mouse. horse and n hen, a pig and
cockroach, n camel and lobster, COW
and wheelbarrow and so on, but there
is never a snake in one of these quaint
alliances. Snakes do not do that sort of
thing, and the anecdote designers imag
ination has not yet risen to the feat of
compelling them, although the stimulus
of competition may soon cause it.
The case most nearly approaching one
of friendship between man and snake
known to me is the case of Tyrrell, the
zoo snakekeeper, and his ''laidly worms"
But then the friendship is mostly on
Tyrrell's side, and, moreover, Tyrrel IS
rather more than human, as any one
will admit who sees him hang boa con
strictors around his neck. OF course
one often hears of boys making pets of
common English snakes, but a boy is
not a human creature at ell. He Is q
kind ot harny.--

Its curious how fergitful some folks

in ruminatiye tone. There's people
that'l fergit arrants an jobs an bills an
days o the week an so ON, an I've even
heard tell of folks that would fergit
their own names now an agin."
Eyes, I've heard mention made of Jest
sech cases." said Abijah Snow, who was
watching Mr.. Jakes solder good sized
hole in the bottom of the Snow teakettle.
"Well, b'lieve there's q woman in
this town beats 'em all fer fergittin,n
said Mr.. Jakes.
who's thatT' inquired his customer,
with mild interest.
Its Mis- Willard Franklin" replied
Mr.. Jakes. "She's got inter the habit of
comm over to our house twice a week,
or sometimes oftener, as t happens. An
it's queer thing, but if you'll b'lieve
me, she sets an sets and fergits all about
Willard till we've had good square
dinner, an within 10 minutes after we've
cleared everythin off'n the table she'll
recllect him an start fer home"
Mr.. Jakes shot one glance at Mr.. Snow,
and Mr.. Snow returned it as he said
slowly;
"S'pose the fact of Wizards bein sech
a scanty pervider an your spreadin a
Gb'ral table could hev anythin to do
with it?"

The material in which imitation dia-
monds are produced is called strass,
from the name of its inventor, German
jeweler who fourished at the beginning
of the present century. 1t is perfectly
colorless and transparent glass, or rather
crystal, of irreproachable purity, COM
posed of rock crystal, or of white sand,
mixed with oxide of lead, arsenical acid
and other ingredients. Its preparation
demands infinite care and multitude
of precautions, to avoid the possibility
of the slightest flaw or bubble being
introduced into the mass, from which
are then cut the false gems in the pro-
portions desired. Small or medium
sized diamonds produce q much better
effect than do large ones.
For the best forms of imitation jewel
ry they are cut by the same workmen
that are employed in executing that
function with real stones. Their task is
much easier, owing to the comparative
softness of strass. a quality which causes
ornaments in imitation diamonds to lose
very speedily their brilliancy and their
deceptive aspect. To remedy this state
of things imitation emeralds, rubies and
sapphires are often set with layer or
slice cut from a real precious stone of in
ferior value and cemented with trans
parent and colorless compound on the
top of the false gem. so as to cover it
