a Big Python Fooled.

The big python in the London Zoo
made up it's mind some time ago that
life was not worth living, for it re-
fused to eat sufficient food to keep 1t
alive. It's 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. ,
It's keeper in this emergency had
recourse to a stratagem which has
completely fooled the python. Be
fore the pigeon had been swallowed
the keeper pushed into its mouth a
dead duck and before that had. been
disposed of the regulation number Of
birds followed in the same way.
Thus the python takes his usual
quantity of food without knowing it.

Why Kissing Is Pleasant.

The reason kissing is so pleasant,
says an osculatory expert of scien-
tifc tendencies, is because the teeth,
jaw bones and lips are full of nerves
and when the lips of persons meet an
electric current is generated and
you don't have to have a dynamo
machine nor a battery in the house,
nor a call box, nor a button
to touch to ring up the CEN
trail Office, and there is no patent
on it and the poorest person in the
world can enjoy the electric current
better than the millionaire, and it
never gets out of order. If Edison
had invented kissing it would cost
500 year, like the telephone, and
then extra kissing would be charged
up extra, and if you didn't pay for it
they would take out your kissaphone
and disconnect you from the central
office.
