monOtOny. One Of the party stated
one evening that he could kill boa
single.handed. The rest OF the crowd
tried TO convince him that he was
wrong, but no stuck 10 the assertion.
Finally n handsome bet was made that

promptly accepted tho terms " the

should be over.
Boas often remain In torpor for three
weeks, and II was nearly a fortnight
before the pinionod snake showed
signs OF returning activity. The
engineers then appointed a night for
the combat, anu the young man who
was to face the serpent went into
active training. Ii had been slipu,

When tho work was over on the
appointed day, those who were ia tue

TO cut the rores with which the serpent
was bound. IL had been colled up and
several bands placed about II. These
were ull severed but one, and the
snakes opponent entered while his
companions beat nasty retreat TO safe

In an article on Religious Russia, Z"
published in LIE Correspondent, OF
Paris, France, Fedor Zakarine writes
that in his country the pigeon is
sacred. Regarding it as the symbol OF
the Holy Ghost, Russian will never
use the bird of peace for food. Some
famished dvornik, in the shadow of the
night, may be tempted to get stew
from the brood nesting under his roof,
or foreigners shop may, perhaps, on
quiet Sabbath, be perfumed with the
smell of roast pigeons, for which, with
interested solicitude, he provides
shelter above his cabin, but these are
very rare and risky exceptions. Pigeons
multiply about the churches, choosing
their domicile above the entablature
and Nesting among the acanthus
leaves of the capitals of the columns.
They treat the churches like conquered
edifices, soiling at liberty the gold of
the images, the sconce and the porches,
Just as the pigeons of Venice defile the
fagstone of st. Mark. Nor have they
more respect for the visage of the great
Catharine, the horse of Peter the
Great, the helmet of Nicholas, or the
shoulders of Souvaroff

Story of Annie Laurie.

She was not creature of imagina
ton, but an actual verify, of whose
ancestry honorable mention is made in
Scotch history. Stephen Laurie was
n fourishing merchant of Dumfries
before James vi. became king. Prior
to 1911 he married Marion, daughter
of Provost Corap, getting with her q
handsome marriage portion. Being a
man of many acres he took the desig-
nation of Maxwelton, leaving at his
death his lands and titles to his eldest
son, John. The next head of the house
was Robert, baronet. He was twice
married and had, by his second wife,
three sons and four daughters. The
birth of one of the latter is thus en-
tered in the family register by the
father: sat the pleasure of the AL
mighty God, my daughter, Annie
Laurie, was born upon the 10th day OF
December, 1852, about o'clock in
the morning, and was baptized by Mr..
George Hunter, the minister of Glen.

fections, but married a rival, Alexan.

A Pocket Night Lamp,

To obtain light sufficient to read
the time by watch or clock by night,
without danger of setting things on
fire, is an easy matter. Take an OBJ
long vial of the clearest of glass, put
into it piece of phosphorus about
the size of a pea, pour upon this some
pure olive oil, heated to the boiling
point; the bottle is to be filed about
one-third full, then cork tightly. To
use the light remove the cork, allow
the air to enter, then recork. The
whole empty space in the bottle will
then become luminous, and the light
obtained will be good one. As soon
as the light becomes dim its power
can be increased by opening the bot.
tie and allowing fresh supply OF sir
to enter. Cincinnati Post,
