Bathing With Alcohol.

II there is occasion to use alcohol for
bathing, place the utensil containing it
in a dish of hot water, ON no account
over lamp or fire, for, as Good House
keeping explains, serious results some
times attend such mistake. To wiring
out cloths quite hot without burning
the hands, place the flannel in the hot
preparation and have large piece Of
dry flannel at hand to wrap around it.
1t can then be wrung dry and hard, and
it will keep hot.

zinc latest Rnnnets.

The most recent styles for evening
and afternoon occasions are all black
bonnets made with fiat crowns or shapes
of net closely spangled and trimmed
with rosettes of net or mousseline de
sole beaded on the edge, and gauzy
wings of wired mousseline, with span
giles. Where flowers are used they are
made in the form of rosettes.
Artificial flowers in millinery include
violets and plimroses and large silk
peonies, but roses occupy the prominent
place. Foliage without flowers is a
fashionable garniture.

Suake-Eatine Snake.

A wonderful snake has been added
to the collection OF the London Zoo.
This Is the ophiophagus elaps, which
Sir Joseph Fayrer denominates as
probably the largest and most formid-
able venomous snake known" grow
Ing, as it does, to length Of twelve or
fourteen feet or more. The technical
name ophiophagus means "snake-eGt-
err" and there seems to be no doubt
that the snake eats other ophidians,
although 1t also devours birds, fish,
frogs and other small quadrupeds.
It is found In India, Burmah and the
Philippines, in Java, Borneo and Su-
matra, and is more common in Ben
cal, Burmah, Assam and Southern In
dia than in the northwest and central
part Of the Indian region. The snake
IS a near relation Of the famous cobra
di capello, and, like the latter, posses
ses a hood, which, however, is mar
rover than In the cobra. Most snakes
get out Of mans way and will avoid
rather than court an attack; but the

There are few cities in North Amer

maintained as fortress, it has played

Bandits are becoming extraordinarily
enterpriSing. Tine was when they
were content to hold up" individuals
and take what they could get. Then
they began holding up" people by the
stageload, and when that became tame
they took trainload at time, forcing
every one to give up his or her valua-
bles. That in its turn became too mild
q diversion for the more enterprisinS,
and then nothing less than an express
messenger would do them. Watches
and jewels were scorned, and they
would have nothing but cash, which
the messenger was usually compelled
to take from the safe in the express
car. It seemed for a short time then
as If the limit had been reached, but 1t
had not. Those old bandits took the
money, but they always left ths safe,
while a gang that appeared in Texas
recently took both safe and money.
And now it IS hard to say where this
business will stop. Will they take the
car itself the next time? If so, Of course,
the time after that It will be in order
for them to take the whole train. Then,
If 1t goes much farther, cities will have
to be kept In safety deposit vaults.

It should be said in praise Of st. Pau.
that a recent trip, including visits to

the aldermen paid their own expenses;
they exercised their own Judgment;
they asked no favors either at home or
abroad. and they returned fully quail
