size of the reported boa to be, as usual

every decaying log. in quest of the
scaly game that might perchance lie
there coiled up unseen. Bright flow

perches on the giant trunks above us.
Around Us everywhere young palm
trees in every stage Of growth sprung
from the leaf-strewn ground making
by their profusion of species an under

magniiicence. Some lowered above
our heads and bent down their feath-

Though pretty tall and well formed,
the Australian is not graceful. Her
feet are seldom small, her hands
rarely beautiful. Moreover, she does
not dress well. Her toilet has none of

Australian and much is spent on it.
Down in the lowest social grades it
plays an important part. The Austria
liam hugs the idea of equality and, be-
lieving in uniformity of dress as the
visible sign of equality, often sacri-
fees actual comfort to obtain fashion

MANY-EYED MONSTERS.
Although . Great Annoyance They Serv
a Purpose.


Purpose.
The question where flies come from
IS asked many times Garing the sum-
mer 1t is always a mystery to the
woman who has her house well screened
how even one of these little pests can
get in.
The parents Of good many of them
were probably housed year before,
when. in the autumn, vigilance was re-
Taxed and perhaps door or window
left unguarded.
With the instinct with which nature
has provided them they crept into the
warm house. into cracks not percepti-
BILE and there they hibernated. There.
too, they lay their eggs, one hundred
nnd seventy-sevcn to each fly, thus
looking out for the propagation Of the
race: and so. when tho first warm days
come they surprise us by buzzing away
on the windows or around the ia BILE.
In the meantime the eggs are hatch
ing and by ''fiy-time" they come forth
IN swarmS.
Sometimes in the dead of winter fly
will appear, beguiled from his resting
place by the deceptive warmth of the
turnace-heated house. He seems
harbinger of spring and perhaps one
may be inclined to pet it little.
Don't do ii. Kill it and thus put an
end to prospective future generation
of flies. They are natural scavengers.
Their purpose in life is to consume
various substances which are thrown
off from the human body, by articles
of food and by almost every animal
and vegetable production when in
state of change. These substances are
given out in such small quantities they
are imperceptible to common observers
and not removals by ordinary meth
DDS of cleanliness, even in the best
kept rooms
When fly persists in crawling over
ones face it is merely taking care of
the particles of dead matter thrown
off through the pores and thus helps
keep the complexion clean. So it is
really doing good while it annoys.

bowlder overshadowed by a spreading
fan-palm's spacious leaves. For mo-
ment, he was lost to view. Did he
really see the snake or was he after
some other animal?
Our doubts were quickly dispelled.
The palm-leaves swayed and rustlcd
violently, and before we had time to
move a step there was Pedro rolling
off the bowlder down to the sand below,
with the enormous snake coiled with
its many folds around him. AS he fell
he yelled out wildly for assistance. |
shouted to him to hold him fast and
not let go on any account, and while
we hurried down the rough incline he
could be heard swearing Justify as he
struggled to free himself from the
tightening embraces of his prisoner.
There he lay on his back holding the
great boa. with both hands clutched
about its throat. There was coil upon
coil of the monster length wound
around his neck and arms and body.
His legs only were free and with these
he tried vigorously to get on his feet:
but in vain, for the weight around his
neck and shoulders, as well as the
pinioning of his arms. completely pre-
vented any such action. He could only
lie there hciplessly on his back and
kick This was his reward for foolish
ly trying to monopolize the glory OF
the hunt. Even when we reached him
he could speak no more and his face
was fast growing livid, though other
wise he was conscious enough; but the
pressure round his throat was too
much for him. The swollen veins
stood out upon his forehead and his
eyes appeared bulging-evidently the
snake was strangling him, while he
still kept it clutched by the throat, for
though boa-constrictor cannot crush
ones ribs he can easily squeeze q
neck quite enough to choke. Now

boa is to commence at the. TAIL, SO

for any trustworthy accounts of really
deliberate encounters with these large
and dangerous reptiles.
During my .snake-hunting progress
eastward through the Venezue-
Ian forest, whenever for any
length of time ! made my head
quarters in any village or settle
ment, / almost invariably had one or
two young fellows, trained under my
own eye, to capture alive, without fear,
the largest and most deadly kinds that
the prin,eval wilderness could produce.
These young hunters often accom-
panied me; and many fine capture
have made with their ungrudging as
sistance, when otherwise the active
and dangerous game would have COM
pletely ba1fied me.
Pedro Vargas, a swarthy-skinned
STRIPPING of seventeen, clad only in
shirt and trousers, with q palm-leaf
hat upon his head, barefoot and bare
legged to the knee, was the quickest
and bravcst of all my daring serpent
chasers. A velvety excuse for a mus
tache was just making itself apparent
on his lip, and when he laughed, which
was often, his teeth of pearly white
ness and lively eyes Of deepest black
lighted up type of Spanish reckless
ness which a Murillo or Velasquez
would have gladly sought to depict.
One morning, at sunrise, Pedro and
/ started off for the forest in search of
a huge boa constructor reported to have
been seen by some hunters on the
previous evening. We had each a cut
lass with which to sever the entangling
vines in our route, a long stick to use
