An East Indian traveller related a
curious experience with a python. lie
was sitting among some trees In a wood
when he noticed q movement In q thick
growth OF vines overhead, and, looking
up, saw the form Of an enormous snake
evidently about to drop on him.

both hands and rushed Into the clearing.

Swlfter and swliter he swung the

The Public Eye.

There is probably no other influence
that causes 30 much evil as the bale
full influence OF the public eye. Take,
for instance. a girl who can recite. Al
soon as she has been encored on the
stage she becomes a nuisance to her
family and a bore 10 the public. The
public eye has affected her aud she
will never again be content with her
corner. The oiilce-holdor who refuses
TO retire TO private life after he has
once held office Is another victim. The
singer who keeps on singing at anna
tour entertainments when she Is n
grandmother is another. The cheap
actresses who began their downward
career at school exhibitions are also
victims. The public eye has more VIC
tins than whisky and they are a great
err menace to the community for the
reason that they sign no pledge and
make no Efforts to reform.-Atchison
