"How did you persuade your
husband to give up smokins,s'
asked Miss Impolitic, vino had jus,
dismissed Der lover because he de :
clincd to give up tobacco.
"Why." answered Mrs. Politic
merrily. II hated his vices as much
as you do Mr.. Stubborn's, but J
knew that coercion would accom- :
plish nothing | would not marry
man who would give. up his vices
on account of foolish treat. On
the contrary. I often assured my
lover of my taste fer the smell Of
tobacco smoke. In that way ] put
his mind at rest, so he felt, that in
me he would have an agreeable
companion for life. He became
eager to marry me. After we had
settled aown to married life, | be-
gan the process of suffocation. I
cut q cigar the moment he entered
the house. playfully inserted it into
his mouth and held a lighted match
for him. The instant his cigar
was finished I had another ready
for him and always before could
protest, had him putting. Of course
when the cigar was cut and lighted
he felt that he must smoke to save
the wood. The reault of excessive
smoking was soon observable. He
grew thin and appeared consump-
tive. The muscles over his heart
were in pain, that pain called smo-
ker's heart disease, but no nearer
the heart than the bigt oe, and with
as little to do with it. Bat he
imagined that he had become con-
snmptiye, and victim Of hearts
disease so that the effect was the
same on his mind. In alarm, he
consulted a physician, good friend
of mine, by the way, and The doctor
at my request, told him if he did
not give up smoking he would join
the turf Stub within two months
He referred to the matter IN great
distress, and I laughed at him and
assured him it was better to live
while he lived, in enjoyment, than
to exist for years in a condition OF
vexation. l advised him to pay
no ATTENTION to a cranky physician.
That settled his obstinacy in the
right direction. He gave up to-
baoco and I have enjoyed his un- q.
divided attention ever since. Don't
be a fool. Young men will never
marry girls who attempt to de-
prive them Of any Of their supposed
comforts.

A Snake-Eatla& Saakc.

| INDIA has been we'll named the
land of serpents If it were not
for certain birds and animals the
reptiles would soon increase so as
to threaten the determination of
human beings. The secretary bird
destroys many, the ichneumon kills
even a larger number, but the very
worst enemy of the snakes is one Of
their own kind. The fierce and
deadly serpent called by the natives
naja spends all of its waking hours
in tracking and killing his fellows.
He does not select the weak
species, either, though he will not
hesitate to .devour such. He seems
to derive a positive pleasure from
hunting and lighting to the death a
cobra, u Hale (spitting snake or .
hooded snake, each deadly
poisorer.
Occasionally he varies his diet
with lizards or frogs, but he never
seeks any but reptile prey. When
trailing cobra, the homodryas, as
this warrior is rightly called, be-
comes the picture of animation
His body quiyers, it's colors brlgh-
ten, his broad head fattens and his
distensible throat expands to a
frightful width. AS the trail
freshens his speed increases and his
scarlet tongue flickers aamelike
from his ugly mouth.
When the pursued sees him COM
ing be seldom tries to run, but
turns to face the foe. Usually
the cobra, If overtaken in the open,
schemes to get to q ,hicket, if one
be near. Once among the brush
hs can prolong if not win the bat
tie, for the naia does not love the
vines and bushes, being rather ten
der-skinned. No struggle, no en-
tangling clutch takes place in these
dueis.s The pursuing homodryas
follows every bend and turn of the
victim, and with upturned head
and open faugs awaits chance to
strike.
Once having bitten it withdraws
and leaves It's prey to die. Only a
moment or two is reqnired for the
fatal fluid injected into the others
body to end its life. Not until the
sufferer is surely dead does the naja
attempt to devour it. He slowly
swallows the remains, beginning
with the head, sometimes requiring
an entire day to fully envelope the
whole body. Once he has gorged
it he lies in q stupor for a whole
day, and doss not eat again for
nearly fortnight. His poison is
as deadly and even more quick in
its operation than that of the cobra.
An elephant, one of the most
tenacious of life of all creatures,
will live only about an hour and a
half after receiving the naja's bite.
The mongoose does not hesitate to
attack a full-grown naja, and
almost invariably kills him. This
he does by tireing out the deadly
serpent, and then leaping upon it
and breaking its spine with bite
in the neck. No other enemy can
whip full-grown homodryas in a
fair fight, and the natives, though
many die of it's bites, are unwilling
to kill any of them because of a
superstition that spirit inhabits
each of these snakes which discerns
good from evil. Those who are
slain, they say, are wicked or naja
would not have bitten them
