around 1t, and It was this attack upon
his flank that had caused Taros an.
gulsh. Escape wax vain, and Taro was
prisoner beyond release. Il is said
that people who are near death are wit
nesses OF panorama of events in their
lives which passes rapidly before them.
Perhaps Taro had some such premo-
milton, for there was a thoughtful ex,
preston on his almost human coun-
tenance. Perhaps he thought of far
on jungle, where he had Swung in the
trees and chartered the hours away.
Perhaps he thought OF some soft
voiced member of the fair sex,
whose Smiles had once been his.
Perhaps recollection carried him back
to the delicious evening when he had
escorted his inamorata to the Abor-
iglnal ball, and discussed cocoanuts
and the Darwinian theory as they
swung by their tails from the branches
OF Banyan tree close by his home.
Perhaps he thought cruel things OF lis
keeper, who stood convulsed with
laughter. Whatever his thoughts were,
they were not long. The snake having
a splendid leverage, the grating could
not resist the strain any longer, and
Taro was pulled through the opening.
A few moments later he was shape
less mass in the relentless folds Of a
boa constructor. A few hours later and
the snakes reptilian countenance
seemed to wear smile. A twinkle OF
contentment seemed present in hia
beady eyes as he lay stretched out at
fuu length. Half way down his scaly
body was pronounced enlargement,
and something in its obtrusive rotun-
dity seemed to say, "Hlc facet Taro."
Twas even SO; Taro's chain knew him
no more, for his obsequies had been
contaminated.
Requiescat in pace.

AS an outcome of the rage for post.
age stamp collecting, there are several
men in London who make good liv-
ing as postage stamp repairers, their
duty being to ingeniously piece to-
gether valuable stamps which have
been torn or mangled. Perhaps the
chief of all their duties is that Of put
ting new perforated edge upon valu-
able stamps which have been carelessIy
cut out from envelopes instead Of be-
ing carefully torn away or otherwise
removed They do this SO well that
it is impossible for any one but very
nice expert to tell that false perfora-
ton has been added. In some cases,
where mutilated stamps are concerned,
two imperfect specimens are made to
form one perfect one, and even the
colors, where very considerable fading
has taken place, are restored.
