Strange Muscular Power That Assists
Them In Fascinating Their Victims.
The power of continuing motionless,
with the lifted head projecting for
ward for an indefinite time, is one of
the most wonderful of the serpent's
muscular feats, and is one of the high
est Importance to the animal, both
when fascinating its victim and when.
mimicking some inanimate object. as,
for instance, the stem and bud of an
aquatic plant; here it is only referred
to on account of the effect it produces
upon the human mind as enhancing
the serpent's strangeness- In this at
titude, with the round, unwinking
eyes fixed on the beholder's face, the
effect may be very curious and un-
canny.
Ernest Glanville, a South African
writer, thus describes his own expe-
rience in the Fortnightly Review. When
a boy he frequently went out into the
bush in quest of game, and on one of
these solitary excursions he sat down
to rest in the shade of willow on the
bank of a shallow stream; sitting
there with cheek resting on his hand
he fell into boyish reverie. After
some time he became aware in a vague
way that on the white, sandy bottom
of the stream there was stretched a
long, black line, which had not been
there at first. He continued for some
time regarding it without recognizing
what it was, but all at once, with an
inward shock, became fully conscious
that he was looking at large snake.
Presently, without apparent motion,
so softly and silently was it done, the
snake reared its head above the sur
face and held it there erect and still,
with cleaning eyes fixed on me in
question of what was. It flashed up
on me then that it would be good op-
portunity to test the power of the hui
man eye on a snake, and set myself
the task of looking it down. 1t was a
foolish effort. The bronze head and
sinewy neck, about which the water
flowed without a ripple, were as carved
in stone, and the cruel, unwinlzing eyes,
with the light coming and going in
them, appeared to glow the brighter
the longer looked. Gradually there
came over me a sensation of siclzening
fear, which, if l had listened to it,
would have left me powerless to move,
but with a cry leaped up, and, seizing
a fallen willow branch, attacked the
reptile with a species of fury. Probab-
ly the idea of the Icanti originated in
a similar experience of some native
The Icanti, it must be explained, is a
powerful and malignant being that
takes the form of a great serpent and
lies at night In some deep, dark pool,
and should a man incautiously ap-
proach and look down into the water
he would be held there by the power
of the great cleaning eyes, and finally
drawn down against his VIII, power

ever in the black depths,

Napoleon rs a NImrod.

An anecdote of the first Napoleon
is told in a story, forming part
of the recollections of the two
uncles of the writer, described as
''favorites'' of Napoleon Ill, runs as
follows: Once, hunting with the en-
peror, they were consoled by him for
their bad shooting, with the assurance
that the first Napoleon was even a
worst shot than they. It seems that
whenever stag was brought to bay,
it was usual to leave the animal to be
killed by Napoleon. On one occasion
Napoleon could not be found, and the
master of the hounds did the bust
ness. Suddenly Napoleon arrived,
and the stag was hurriedly propped up
on his legs with tree boughs. The gun
was handed to him and he fired at the
stag, which, of course, fell to the
ground, while a piteous whine from a
hound showed that something different
from a dead stag was hit. Napoleon
was completely deceived, and observed:
after all, am not so bad shot as
they try to make out"

eff they make my home much more

Glimmerton, 81 shall have to leave it

lately to making sofa and chair cush-
ions of lovely materials, and very soft

around on the chairs and sofas, but it
seems that these are for visitors only
and to look at; they are not for mem
bers of the family. If 1 forget and sit
down on one of them hear Mrs. Glim-
