women who disputed possession OF

Solomon was a very wise man.
One day two women went to him

said; Mono, ladies. do not quarrel.

A Snake.Killing Bird.

The Australian, also called Jardine's
Harrier, is another serpent killer of
no mean ability, that is endowed by
nature with legs of considerable
length, covered with strong yellow
scales absolutely impervious to any
ophidian tooth. Although it does
not prey exclusively on snakes, but al
so kills and devours frogs, nevis and
lizards, the barrier is of very great
service in its native country, which
contains 80 many species of deadly
snakes, which it searches for on the
wing, hawking at no great distance
from the ground over the places which
they frequent, and snatching them up
in one of its powerful feet, always TAX
care to grasp the reptile by the neck,
then flying upward to great height,
and letting it fall, to be killed on the

quents marshy ground, and is more
likely to meet with frogs in such u
situation than with serpents, which, as
rule, at least in Australia, frequent
the hottest and driest places they can
find. Still, as the reptiles, or at least
some Of them, seek the water when they
are changing their skins, at which
time their sight is DINNER than usual,
it may be that the antipodean marsh

To Button Boots.

'In buttoning shoes there is no need
to rip of buttons and split out button
holes so often. Half the women don't
know how to handle buttonhook, and
that is the trouble" said a girl who
was on her knees trying on a pair of
shoes for q customer. "Most women
take the buttonhook, and after catch
ing the button in it turn the hook
straight over backward to force the
button through the hole. That is all
wrong. See how quick the buttons
will fly off that way" and she illustra-
ted and sent four buttons flying into
the air as a result. "Now do this way.
Put the hook through the buttonhole
and take hold of the button with it.
Then keep the buttonhook fiat and
swing it around in half circle, always
keeping the hook level where it holds
the button. This saves the wear and
tear on the buttonhole stitching, and
the buttons will stay sewed on four
times as long."-Shoe and Leather

OF What Is Bee Comb Composed.

Bee comb, or "beeswax," the mate
rial of which the honey cells in the
beehive are composed, is wax pro-
duced bya system of chemistry carried
on in the wax pockets" which are
located in the abdomen of oil working
bees. 1t is n peculiar substance, and
is said to be analogous to the fats Of
higher animals. Originally it was
supposed that this wax was taken up
in an almost pure state from the flow
ers by the bees, but recent expert
ments carried on by the leading bota-
nists and chemists of the world con-
clusively prove that the bee is capable
of celebrating his peculiar wax, al
though confined to diet purely sac
charine in its nature.

Mr.. Demorest was fishing for weakfish In

with shark hook fastened to II with wire.
A live porgie was used for bait. This had
no sooner struck the water than dark fin
was seen. A second later n shark had the
baited hook down his throat.
The anchor rope was cast of, and Demor-
est $ boat was towed through the water by
the shark like an express train. After tow
