coRINTuIAN ARCHITECTURE.

The capital of the Corinthian or.
der of architecture had its Origin in
simple incident. On the death of
young maid of Corinth, Lcr lover
gathered the ornaments she had
most valued when living, and placed
them in a wicker basket covered by
a tile upon her tomb. Close to the
grave an acanthus had taken root ;
and the flowers shooting forth in the
spring, its leaves twined around the
basket and convalved beneath the
tile in The form of volutes Attract
ed by this display Calllmachu', the
founder of the Corinthian order,
made it the model for his capital the
tile being the abacus, the foliage OF
the acanthus the volutes and the
whole forming The capital which
adorns his column. This is suppos-
cd to have been about s40 b G.

hot breath famed the mothers face.
Oh, the intense agony of that mo-

the brave lad seized Charlie, and
flung him out of danger, close to
those eager arms waiting to receive
their precious burden.

kisses, while she murmured low
thanksgiving to the Almighty, who
had spared this frail life SO mex

She shuddered at the awful dan
ger so narrowly escaped, and, as she
drew her child yet nearer, made a
mental resolve TO try and ever be
patient and forbearing with him, and
never, never again to strike that baby
hand, so weak and powcrless, how
ever sorely tried by his mischievous
actions.

Big Snake Stories.

y
museums and circus exhibitions
were sent to this country from
Africa or South America. The boa
constructor comes from Africa and
some very large specimens come
from Brazil. 1t is very seldom that
We can secure an anaconda.
In both Africa and South America
the snakes are captured by the ma.
tives, who very often, however, are
afraid of them, and do not undertake
to secure them unless they are ac-
companied by an American or Euro
pean, who will take the lead in the
expedition.
In Brazil the large snakes are
sometimes captured with nets, which
are thrown over them. The smaller
ones are caught with big stick,
shaped at one end like a two-prong-
ed pitchfork. The man approaches
the snake soon after the animal has
partaken of good meal and when
he feels heavy and sleepy. Tho fork
is placed over the snakes head, and
he is thus pinned to the ground.
Then he coils himself around the
stick, and in that way is carried away
and put in strong box, ready 10 be
shipped to some foreign country.
Even large snakes arc often captured
in this way.
Boa constructors are o6taincd in
the forests near the Amazon and
Platte rivers. They ara sometimes
twenty feet in length and weigh from
fifty TO one hundred pounds. Tree
boas are captured from twelve to
fourteen feet long, but the majority
of them are seven or eight feet long.
The Indians of Brazil capture this
variety of snake while they are en-
gagged in their regular vocation of
gathering rubber. They put the
rubber and lot OF snakes in GAUGES,
take them about four thousand miles
up the Amazon river, where they
sell them TO the traders, who in turn
ship them in steamers which take
the raw rubber TO the coast.
Anaconda also como from Brazil.
They are highly priced because they
are as handsomely marked, but the
specimens we arc able TO get there are
smaller than the boas.
| Snakes will not cat dead food.
We feed them on birds, chickens,
pigeons, rabbits and white mice.
But the large snakes will not be con-
tent with meal Of mice; the bait Is
entirely two small for them and the
little creatures could run around
their cage without being harmed.
Large snakes demand chicken, q
rabbit, or large rat, and they take
| particular delight in killing The food
they ara to eat. They do not eat SO
much in captivity, and consequently
are not SO long lived. Some of them
will not live over a year, while
snake who is a good feeder will live
for ten or twelve years. This quts.
ton Of food would be very exren-
sive item in keeping a snake If it
were not for the fact that he only eats
once a month and sometimes not
that often. 1t is rare to find one
that will cat oftener than once O
week. Snakes are very quiet and
docile after they have been fed. The
fat 10 snake is in layers and is
found in greater quantity than in any
other animal know Of. One reason,
suppose, why they can go without
eating for such long periods is be-
cause they can live of their own fat,

ANEcD0TAL LITERATURE.
Gathered and Compiled by W.
DINoCRAFEs.

Dinocrates, an ingenious and am-
bilious architect of Macedon, deter
mined to attract the attention of Al
exander the Great. He clothed him
self in lions skin, with chaplet Of
poplar boughs on his head and a
club in his hand like Hercules. His
large stature and dignitied mien suit
ed well with this disguise. The king
was attracted by the novelty of his
appearance, and demanded who he
was. II am," replied Dinocrates, "a
Macedonia architect, who come to
thee with ideas and designs worthy
of thy great fame. | have formed
design to cut Mount Athos into the
statue of man, in whose left hand
shall be large city, and in his right
hand basin which shall receive all
the rivers of the mountain and dis
charge them into the sea- Alexau-
der inquired if there would be
enough country around the city in
the giants hand to supply it with
food. Dinocrates answered that
there would not, and that it must be
supplied by sea. Alexander declined
the proposition, but retained the
architect in his service.
The fame of both the emperor and
the architect were more effectually
pcrpetuated by the building of AL.
exander at the mouth of the Nile.
Dinocrates planned this magnificent
city, noted for its walls fortified with
towers, its acqueducts, fountains, ca
nails, temples, palaces and beautiful
streets. The immense quarry at
Cairo furnished the greater part Of
the building material. Few archi-
tects ever had the direction OF work
so immense and important.
