interested in spritualism. At first this was taken up in faddsh sort of a way, but as large majority of her friends refused to become interested in the seances arr ranged for their edifcation the countess was obliged to continue her experiences-as she termed her tireless series of ventures in search of tangible fact-alone.
 Suddenly the countess withdrew from the social circle and became an enthusias- tic follower of spiritualism. As she had plenty of money and was generous in ex- pending 1t, It was not long before numer- ous spiritualists gathered around her and chose her as their leader.
 In accordance with her new faith, she re- fused all medicine and when she became i'll, and finally when she was attacked with chronic disease she determined to cure herself by abstinence from all food and drink. Physicians who were formally her dearest friends and who could easily have prolonged her life for many years were refused admittance to the house.
 At last, her body emaciated and her mind wandering, she expired. She and her dis sciples claimed to the last that she was not suffering at all and that she would rise and Eceme to her friends after dark. s-s-'
 When we come to regard the inside his- tory of this remarkable case, one cannot help but feel a jingle of sympathy for the de,uded woman who allowed herself to be- come the victim of a gang of sharpers who rot only lived on the fat of the land during the period when the countess led the al- legged band of spiritualists but now that she is dead they are fighting over the ul- timate disposition of the enormous wealth left by the countess.

Surrounded with all the requisites for a happy and contented existence which wealth and social distinction could afford, a petted member of the Polish nobility has ended her youthful career in a manner which has euased a sympathetic tide of popular indignation to engulf that particu- lar class and hypnotists.
 The latest victim of this fanatical doc Urine is no less a person than the much talked of Countess Milewska of Warsaw, Poland who was until few years ago one of the most popular social leaders of the Polish court. She was enormously weathly and by the power of this wealth and her acknowledged beauty and the fact that she was the widow of Count Rudolph Milewsl1a, the sweet-faced little woman be- came one of the best known social stars in all Poland.
 The home of Countess Milewska was at all times center of music, literature and art. It was there that the select gatherings were held and for an aspiring genius not to have the entree of this house, was sufficient guarantee for his non-success The dainty little countess set the pace so- cially for others to follow, but despite this jealousy which generally envelops social leaders of note and distinction.
 Until three years ago Countess Miewslxa was the center of gay crowd. Then in some unknown manner she became deeply

COUNTESS STHRVESHERSELF
 BY JEROME TAFT ....A TRAGEDY IN REAL LIFE

It is due to this fact that the real cause of the countess death has been made pub lie. The fact that she had cultivated the acquaintance of organized band of sharpers who preyed upon her susceptible temperament under the guise of spiritual -i ism was not known to the large circle of friends with whom she had been on such friendly terms of social intercourse. It was thought, when she announced her retire ment frnm society, that it was but a freakish whim,. which would quickly van sh when the coming season of social fes- tivities became a feature of the everyday whirl.
 To hen friends. however. the countess merely announced that she intended to con- duct a series of experiments in spiritual ism and hypnotfsm. She started her in- vestigations by surrounding herself with number of alleged gifted" people who were supposed to possess powers supernat- ural and otherwise. From a woman, fond of gayety and amusement, the countess became a recluse. She eventually shut up her house completely, allowing no one to enter excepting the chosen few who fiat tered her by calling her their leader
 In vain did her friends protest To all their overtures the countess merely re- turned word that she was conducting cer- tain psychological experiments which would require all of her attention and until this particular work was completed she would be compelled to forego the usual pleasures of the social season.

tor, but to no purpose: 1t cannot turn it's head to bite. If it be desirable to extract the Hangs at once, the captor presses his thumb on the throat of the cobra and thus compels 1t to open it's mouth then the fangs are drawn with pair of pincers. If, however, the operator desires to keep the snake intact for the present, the late mu- sician offers his aid. and, forcibly unwind Ing the coils, places the body of the cobra in basket, all but the head (which is still held by the other man), and presses down the lid to prevent the cobra from wrig- gling out. Then suddenly the captor thrusts the head in and bangs down the lid.
 Tn the above description, two men are needed to capture the snake; but a very expert charmer may do the feat single handed, though it is highly dangerous This Is the method employed While playing with one hand, he throws the dust side ways with the other and captures the snake with that hand Of course the whole ac- tion is like a lightning flash, and half a seconds delay or the merest bungling either in throwing the dust or in catching the snake at the proper place, may prove fatal to the operator. In this case the fangs are usually extracted at once, though there is trick by which the operator may put the snake in the basket with fangs in- tact, without assistance Supposing he is holding tho snake by the right hand around which the body of the snake Is coiled. Then he brings his left hand under the right and catches the snake with that. Relaxing the grip of the right hand. he un- winds that arm from the cobra's coils. keeping the cobra's body stretched taut. When he has unwound about half the length he grips the cobra with his right hand just below the left and slips that hand down tight the whole length of the unwound portion The effect of this action is to disocate temporarily the muscles and small bones of that portion of the snake and to render it powerless to coil itself. Then he unwinds the rest, and treats it in tho same manner. The cobra now hangs limp and straight from the left hand and Is easily thrust into the basket.
 But perhaps this action will be better un- derstood from another trick of these ex- perts It is well known that if a snake is held up by the tail say, with the left hand 1t will be able by sheer muscular ac- tion to curl around. raise itself up and bite the hand of the holder. But if at the same time the holder slips the right hand tight over the whole length of the snake-acceler- ating the speed as 1t passes over the head to escape possible bite-the snake will hang down limp and straight like a piece of rubber. The same muscular displace- ment can sometimes be obtained by repeat edlv f1icking the snake in the air like a whip, while holding the tail in the hand. The cobra recovers itself after a few hours.-Wide World Magazine.

her fanatical companions, was the ultimate end of the Countess Milewska- To be sure she did not take into consideration the ser ies of deceptions which were practiced upon her, but with eyes blinded by the adulation of her new friends the unfor- tunate woman deliberately continued the pastme which eventuated in her death.
 Upon the investigations conducted by the police it was learned that when the coun- tess was taken III with cancer of the ab- domen Madame Selkovitch, who was with her continually, persuaded the countess to place her faith in the power of spiritual ism and thus overcome the pain incident to a surgical operation in removing the cause of the ailment
 To this the countess agreed. She would not send for physician neither would she take any treatment whatsoever which might tend to ameliorate the awful pain , which she was forced to endure daily. Ma dame Selkovitch actually made the suffer- ing woman believe that she was not endur- ing pain and thus Countess Milewska lay day after day for nearly six months fully satisfied that the spirits of her departed loved ones were carrying the burden of her suffering.
 Laboring under this delusion, the coun- tess finally died. The funeral was attend ed by nearly all the friends with whom she had been on such terms of pleasure able social intimacy and then came the reading of her last will and testament and then the police, suspicious that all was not right. took a hand and began search ing investigation to ascertain the cause of her death.
 According to the will Madame Selkovitch was to receive a sum equal to $100000, while another like sum of a similar denom- 'ination was donated to the Society of Spir- itual Research, of which the countess had been the first president. The police are convinced that the will was signed and executed by the countess while she was un- der the influence of Madame Selkovitch and it is more than probable that the latter individual will ultimately be arrested charged with deliberately planning the death of her benefactress.

How Cobras Are Captured

The cobra is passionately fond of music, and is no mean critic thereof. As a rule 1t only hears the bagppe, but if there be any instrument which it loves more than an- other it is the violin. It is this amiable weakness that sometimd enders it pos- tive danger to the musical householder in India
 By reciprocity of causation this love of music in the cobra works for its own de- structon. For, if cobra takes up it's abode in the neighborhood of dwelling house 1t is customary to send for couple of pro- fessional snake charmers. One of them strikes up tune near the place where the the creature may be doing at the tme2- even if it be out visiting, so to speak, at some neighboring house-it Is soon attract ed by the music. It emerges slowly from, its hiding place and strikes up an attitude in front of the player. There it is Kept gradually creeps behind with handful of fine dust. .5,..zs,,s
 At convenient moment, when the. cobra, is standing motionless, this man suddenly throws dust over the head and eyes of the snake. Immediately the cobra falls it's full length upon the ground-for one brief sec- ond. But that Is enough. Like a lightning fiashAnay, with one and the same motion with which he cast the dustsShes seizes pthes prostrate cobra by the neck just below the head In fierce anger the snake winds and winds it's body around the arm of its cap-

Cold Weather
 Brings Catarrh.
The Severity of this Dis ease Increases Each
 Winter.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ga. tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and unpleasant weather aggravates the disease and it is during the winter season that it's severest form is felt Each succeeding year seems to in tensify the disease, so that it gradually fastens it's hold upon the sufferer with grasp that becomes firmer each sea- son.
 Catarrh often appears as only cold at first, and is hardly noticed. But gradually the cold returns, and it is more difficult to cure, and stays longer than formerly. These symptoms can not be mistaken; they mark the first appearance of disease that will de- velop in severity and stubbornness, and which it is impossible to cure with the local treatment of sprays, washes, and similar applications. Being disease of the blood, only blood remedy can have the slightest effect upon it. S.S.S. (Swift's Specific) is the only cure for Catarrh, because it is the only blood remedy which goes to the seat of all ob- stinate cases, and forces out the disease.
 MT. T. A. Williams, leading mer- chant of Spartanburg, s. O., writes:
 ''For four years I had nasal catarrh !. and though the case was mild one at first, it was not long until noticed that it was gradually growing worse. Of course was under treatment of first class physicians, but their remedies were applied locally, and the Catarrh
