The big python in the London zoo
made up its mind some time ago that
life was not worth living, for it refused
to eat sufficient food to keep it alive.
Its usual meal was four or five pigeons
or ducks, but it became too languid to
seize more than one of them when they
were put into its cage. Its keeper in
this emergency had recourse to a
stratagem which has completely
fooled the python. Before the pigeon
had been swallowed the keeper pushed
into its mouth dead duck and before
that had been disposed of the regula-
ton number of birds followed the
same way. Thus the python takes his
usual quantity of food without know
ing tn. Y. World.
rsver discovered Her Mistake.
A well-known New York lawyer tells
that on one occasion he had taken his
seat in the elevator of large building
down town, when a lady stepped in.
Owing to the electric light being out Of
order, the elevator was quite dark, and
the newcomer, supposing she was the
sole occupant, calmly sat down-on the
lawyers lap. OF course he expected her
to get up Immediately and murmur a
confused apology, but nothing of the
sort occurred. He was wearing q
heavy winter ulster, which made
comfortable, soft seat, and the lady
rose up several stories and finally got
out without even discovering her mis-
take.

Too Many Men In South Africa.

So many immigrants have gone to
South Africa recently that there is fear
that the country may be flooded with
unemployed men. Already wages for
unsdlled men have fallen, and the
steady inflow of others looking for
work continues. Even johannesburg,
which has made unrivaled progress
istely, is unable to furnish employment
