The Teeth Tell if a Snakes venOmOus.

There isa certain physiological diff
ference between the poisonous and
harmless snakes, which exists very
plainly in their manner of dentition.
All snakes are objects of aversion and
dread to mankind, so much so that to
be bitten by snake has at times been
so fearful to the victim as to have pro-
duced death, although the snake was
harmless. Such is the instructive
dread with which these reptiles are
thought of that it may be desirable to
have some easy mode of distinguish
ing the>one kind from the other. This
distinguishing characteristic is af-
forded by the teeth. In all poisonous
snakes there are only two rows of
teeth, the fang, or fangs, being ar
ranged either within the two rows or
outside. The harmless snakes have four
distinct rows of teeth, and when the
bite shows this kind of wound and not
any single deeper or larger punoture,
there need be no apprehension. New

Snow Sheds of the Union Pacific.

A correspondent of the New York
Observer says: With two and some
times three engines, our heavy train,
now divided into two sections, climbed
up the giant wall of the Sierra Nevada.
We passed through the magnificent
scenery of Shady Run, Blue Canyon
and Giant and Emigrant Gaps. In
running one hundred and seven miles
we had climbed nearly seven hundred
feet, sometimes over very steep grades.
Before we reached the summit, snow
sheds began to appear, and soon be
came practically continuous. 1t was
the month of May, aud the mountains
were still covered deep with snow.
We rode through forty miles of these
wooden tunnels, from whose windows
we could now and then catch glimpses
of wild wastes of snow-covered noun.

pine and fir trees. Without these

ry, and are separated by iron plates
into sections, to guard against the
spread of fire. There are automatic
electric fire alarms in one of the long.
est sheds, and an engine with tank
close at hand isl kept ready to flood any
section that should catch ON fire. The
sheds are patrolled and guarded in
careful manner. Such attention is
due not only to the passenger aud
freight traffic which the road conducts,
but TO the value of the sheds, which
average from eight to twelve thousand
dollars per mile. Several miles, where
bridges and precipices make the con
struction difficult, cost as much rs
thirty thousand dollars per mile

Elephant Shooting in CeYlon.

Our first attempt at elephant shoot.

made an excellent stalk, and H., who
had the toss, had the satisfaction of
shooting our first elephant-a bull

my turn in the thorn Jungle. Appu
Sinhu took me up game path to
within twenty feet of the herd-one
offered fair shot, and down he went.

My elephant struggled up again only
to perish by the left barrel H. killed
our third as it dashed by him in a
game path, but not till he and NJ had
emptied their rifles into it. This was
good beginning, but the firing had
disturbed the game, and we now had
to go farther afield for it, We found
it again in the thorn jungle-a rogue.
III. fired first, and the brute promptly
charged, but was turned with the Sec

go far, we advanced against him by
parallel game paths. He charged NJ,
who failed TO stop him. NJ. tried to
retreat, caught his foot and fell on his
back. The brute stopped in the
smoke, and commenced beating for

The differences between city and
country ways have been illustrated in
curious manner by an experiment of
the Postoffice Department. Under the
last administration about fifty villages
and small towns, ranging in popula-
tion from 800 to 1000 inhabitants,
we're picked out for trial of the sys-
tenn of distributing mail matter by
carrier, rs in large cities. At first
general satisfaction was manifested,
and the receipts of many of the offices
for while showed an increase, indi-
eating that the convenience stimulated
correspondence but as the novelty
wore off, the residents very generally
tired of the change, and returned to
the old practice of going to the office
themselves for the mail A majority of
the people would apparently rather
have their letters lie in the office until
they call for them, and Thus have an
excuse for frequent visits to the centre
of local activity, than have their mail
delivered every day at their houses.
The carrier in such places is really a
foe to social activity, as "going to the
postofice" has always been n recog.
nized means of mixing with men, and
its occasional inconvenience is prefer
able to the loss of whet is often only
pretext for making break in the mo-
notony of a retired life. In view of
the evidence that there is not "a long
felt want" to be met by thiG system of
free delivery in small communities,
and of the fact that its general adoption
would involve an annual expense of at
least $40, 900, 600, the First Assistant
Postmaster General advises suspen-
sion OF the experiment.

How to Avoid Colds.

For many years my occupation took
me to crowded political and labor

Fireside Heroes and Heroiney.

The noblest and the commonest
heroes and heroines are those Of the
freside. They neither introduce nor
obtrude themselves upon the public
observation. They are usually un.
conscious of their heroism. They
suppose that startling occasions and
crises are necessary in order to the
unfolding of heroic character. Yet
all the time in the simple rounds of
home they are displaying traits which
express the finest sense of heroism.
Fathers, husbands, sons, brothers
whose lives are utterly unselfsh, who
give up without murmuriug personal
wishes at the call of affection or duty /;
mothers, wives, daughters, cisters
who take up and carry heartbreaking
griefs and back bending burdens that
others near and dear TO them may be
eased and benefited-are not these
true heroes and true heroines? They
do what they do without any expecta-
tion OF fame; nay, they hide their
self-renunciatiou, and bear their
crosses with silent dignity, All the
more do they wear the halo of saint
hood visible to anointed eyes as the
aureole ON the canvas of Murillo or
Titan.

American sailors on men-of-war who
desert in foreign ports cannot be ar
rested and returned. This rule, ex-
plains tho Boston Cultivator, is an
outgrowth of the contention of this
country on which the War of 1912 was
fought, the right of every man to
change his allegiance, and exemption
from interference by any foreign
power. Sailors on merchant vessels
who violate their contracts can be
held to them, but deserting from a
man-of-war in foreign port, though
n more serious offence, cannot be pun

REMEMBERED SONGS.

Ny love a song OF scotland sang,
One merry, merry day,
And in my ears the plbroch rang,
1 heard the pipers play;
saw the plaided clansmen meet
Blue was the morning sky
The heather blossomed at my feet;
highland king was l.
My love a song OF Norway sang,
An old Germanic theme,
And where the mystic Eddas sprang
wandered In a dream.
I heard a chant OF Runic name,
Where Miners fountains shine,
And with tho knights of siegfred came,
An errant OF the Rhine.
My love she sang song Of Spain
wandered long and far,
And in the court of Charlemagne
watched the morning star.
I listened TO the redondel,
Tones OF Leys d'amour,
The canzo and the pastorel-
was troubadour.
My love she sang song Of love;
Her words were sweet and low.
As though the echoes from above
Had strayed TO me below.
No more my fancy wandered free,
Where time and change have part;
The wide, wide world bad come to me,
The morning OF the heart.
