SHE MANAGED 1T.
And the Lady with Two G's VIII
Never Forgive Her.


She was lank and lean, and there
was a look of suppressed curiosity in
her eyes as they rested on the faces of
her fellow passenger Presently she
nudged her companion:
There comes that Litewite girl
she whispered, ''the one that was mar
ried about year ago. Can you re-
member her name? I can't"
why, yes, it was Jennie

on the tip of my tongue, too but I

Perhaps it is Smith,
"Of course not, silly, I could re-
member that without trying. Say.
she looks as if they were pretty well
off. Let's go over and sit with her"
But we don't know what to call
her.
80, leave that to me, I'll manage it
I've plan that never fails. Why
how do you do? I'm so glad to see
your
why, this is quite a surprise
yes, isn't it? I've been waiting
TO see you for an age, but it is so
far that I've kept putting it off. Let
me see, what is your new address,
did you think we had moved?"
80, almost everybody did this year.
How is your husband? Well? By the
way, what do you call him? There
is so much talk now as to whether
a wife should use her husbands Chris
tian name Or
90. 1 always use his Christian
name
''M-very much better, I'm sure.
And his mother-do you call"
Il call her ma just as my husband
does. Don't you think, I met an old
acquaintance today, and she had ac-
tually forgotten that I was married;
wasn't it horrid of hero
80, hoTridl By the way, how do
you spell your new name? We had
quite a controversy about it the other
day"

she replied in frigid tones, signalling
the conductor to stop the car as she
spoke.

log-rollings we used to have in this
country?" asked the farmer. 1hen
you've missed half your life. 1t was
the greatest fun the darkies on the
farm had for years and years. The
farmer VINO had cleared the new
ground, when the trees had all been
cut down, and the brush clipped off
and burned, wanted to get all the logs
off the ground before he could Guilt
waite it Therefore, he would give
what is called a log-rolling, to which
he would invite all the darkies and Ia
some suitable day. There was no COM
pensation for it, for it was picnic,
though you wiuld never think it. for
it was the hardest sort of work. The
darkieS all would come in high glee.
knowing that a great jug of whisky
would be diShed out to them, and that
a big dinner would be given by the
landlord who gave the log-rolllng.
What is meant by rolling logs is put
ting a handstick under them. with a
darkey at each end of the stick, and
lifting the logs from the ground and
then conveying them to a pile here
and there about the new ground,
where they would be burned later.
The fun came in with the rivalry
among the darkies to see who was
the champion litter of the day. They
would have great straps of leather
that went over their shoulders in
loop. and through this loop they
would stick their hand-sticks, some
times enabling them to lift with their
hands and their whole bodies at the
same time, throwing their strength
of the other end of the hand-stick
under the log. This strap of leather.

SEWING THE LIPS OF coBRAs.
Dangerous Practice of Indians-Ex-
tracing the Snakes Fangs.

A large cobra de capello was sent
home several years ago to Sir Joseph
Fayrer, who wanted a supply of VEN
ON for analysis. 1t bit the spoon re-
peatedly without yielding any, and
upon examination was found to have
none to yield, not only its fangs but
the poisonous glands having been ex-
tirpated. A protective operation still
more cruel is sometimes practiced by
noviceS in the art of charming, and
consists of securing the mouth of the
reptile with a stitch of silk passed
through the lips in front. To perform
this the poor beasts head is held
tightly pressed to the ground by
short stick on which the foot rests,
while the other foot restraints THE
writhing body, leaving boIn hands at
liberty for the needle. Eleven appar-
emily healthy cobras were received, on
one occasion, by the London geological
gardens. They refused TO feed and
grew thin. When one died it was dis
covered that its mouth was sewn up
with stitches so fine as to be invisible
to any but the closest scrutiny. The
rest of them did we'll on being re-
stored to their normal condition.
In connection with this subject
may mention that a rattle snake was
sent to me from up the country when
I was in Demerara, with the history
that it had killed a coolie on one of
the plantations. 1t had been badly in
jured about the spine, probably in cap
ture, so that on reaching me 1t was
not only dead but decomposed, and L
was not able TO make any very COM
plete dissection but L found that its
lips were tied together with stitches
obviously the effort of an Impractical
hand, since the work was very coarse.
This had apparently been preceded by
an unsuccessful attempt to extract
the long, needle-like fangs, for one OF
these was twisted half way around
it's bony base, and had penetrated the
lower lip when the jaws were forcibly
closed. 1t is hardly possible that the
duct was not occluded, but enough
venom must have remained in the
tube of the tiny, delicate syringe to
infict fatal scratch.-Current Litera-
ture.
