Child Labor in London.

The Woman's Industrial council has
brought to light some startling facts
relating to child labor In London. In
addition to their regular school at
tendance, compelled by inspectors, this
report shows that 1.143 children work
ed from nineteen to twenty-nine hours
729 from thirty to thirfy-nihe hours,
and 2S5 forty hours and more in the
week. In one instance, and it is un-
fortunately only typical, boy worked
for an undertaken twenty-three and a
half hours week as a helper in
measuring corpses for coffins, and for
remuneration received just one cent
per hour and half cent thrown in. A
teacher in one of the city schools said
that the boys engaged in selling news
papers were SO tired when they came
to class in the morning that he had
enough to do to keep them awake.

Catching n Cobra.

The cobra is passionately fond of
music, and is no mean critic thereof.
AS rule, 1t only hears the bagpipe,
but If there be any instrument which
1T loves more than another 1t is the
violin. 1t is this amiable weakness
that sometimes renders it positive
danger to the musical householder in
India. BY q reciprocity of civilization
this love of music in the cobra works
for it's own destruction. For If q
cobra takes up it's abode in the neigh
borhood of a dwelling house it is Gus
tomary to send for couple of pro-
fessional snake charmers. One of
them strikes up tune near the place
where the cobra is supposed to be. No
matter what the creature may be do
ing at the time-even If it be out visit
Ing, SO to speak, at some neighboring
house-it is soon attracted by the mu-
sic. 1t energies slowly from its hid
ing place and strikes UP an attitude
In front OF the player. There it is
kept engaged with the music till the
other man gradually creeps behind
with a handful of fine dust. AT a con-
venient moment, when the cobra is
standing motionless, this man sudden
ly throws the dust over the head and
eyes of the snake. Immediately the
cobra falls it's full length upon the
ground-for one brief second. But
that second is enough. Like a light
ming fash-nay, with one and the
same motion with which he cast the
-hn thn 10
by the neck just below the head. In
fierce anger the snake winds and winds
its body round the arm of its captor,
but to no purpose, it can not turn it's
head to bite. If it be desirable to ex-
trart the fangs at once, the captor
presses his head on the throat of the
cobra. and thus compels it to open its
mouth; then the fangs are drawn with
a pair of pilcers. If, however, the
operator desires to keep the snake in
tract the fangs at once, the captor
offers his aid. and, forcibly unwinding
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 wriggling out. Then sud-
denly the captor thrusts the head in
and bangs down the lid.
In the above description two men
are needed to capture the snake; but
very expert charmer may do the
feat single-handed, though 1t is high
ly dangerous. This is the method
employed: While playing with one
hand he throws the dust sideways
with the other and captures the snake
with that hand. OF course, the whole
action is like a lightning flash, and
half a seconds delay or the merest
bungling either in throwing the dust
OF in catching the snake at the proper
place may prove fatal to the operator.

A Good Scheme.

In the grand duchy of Baden a pos
tai innovation has been introduced
which might be copied with good re-
suit elsewhere, for it is of great ad-
vantage to travellers. The scheme is
this: When travelling, supposing you
were to send telegram, all you have
to do is to write your message on n
postcard, with statement that you
wish it wired, affix to it the requisite
number Of stamps and deposit it in the
letter box attached to the train. When
the train stops the box is cleared and
the wire dispatched without delay OF
further trouble to the sender.

MIGRATION OF INSECTS.
They Gather In Such Quantity a. TO Be
Beyond Belief.

In the Scientific American Prof.
Holden gives some interesting obser-
vations on the migrations of insects.
Once in the San Gabriel valley of Cal
ifornia he saw a flight of yellow but
terflies which passed continuously for
three or four days to the northeast.
For sixteen square miles the column
moved and one could not look out
doors without seeing the fluttering bits
OF yellow in the air. Yellow butter
flies are famous for their mysterious
migrations and some times out at sea
they will cover the decks and riggings
of ships.
Migrations of locusts are very de-
vastating. Hardly western town has
not at some time suffered from these.
pests, and after they have descended
on n town they may be swept from
the doorways like so much snow. In
Colorado locusts once covered a rail-
way track so completely as to clog the
wheels of train and stop it.
In Russia the migrations of locusts
are looked upon as u national calam-
ity, and if the accounts were not sub
stantiated they might we'll be doubt
ed. In 1925 the government placed
10000 men in the fields to Kill the To-
Gusts that We're devastating the land.
A vast region was literally enveloped
In the clouds of insects that covered
the ground and filed the air with
black cloud. The hordes crawled in
to the houses, even in the beds and
dishes and changed fertile region of
fields and crops into dreary desert.
Russian farmers fought the locusts
with fire, but while millions of In
sects were consumed 1T made no i'm
preston on the lot. In places the
locusts settled on the ground to a
depth of four feet. The 10000 men
formed two-mile line armed with
shovels, bags and fire. raking the To-
GUSTS in piles and burning them, but
no thinning out of the awful mass
seemed to be made. For hundreds of
miles the locusts lay on the ground
two feet thick

For Hiding Money.

Many and strange were the devices
of our grandmothers for boarding
away their wealth.
An elderly spinster of one of the
many ancient houses to he found in
Chester had set of large stationary
drawers topped by cupboards special
ly built into huge closet in one Of
the rooms. The lower drawer, instead
of resting directly on the floor, ran on
grooves about two inches above it.
The lower drawer she would pull out
and place large sums of money and all
her jewel cases in the space left be-
low, and then replace the drawer,
which She kept filled with linen.
The old lady would always declare
that If the house We're broken into
the drawers ransacked, no one would
think of pulling them right out, and
that her hiding place was far safer
than any bank
Equally shrewd was a woman In
Liverpool, who, whenever, she had oc-
casion to leave her home at all, would
put her money and jewelry in the coal
scuttle, covering them up carefully
with several layers of coal. This
might have proved a somewhat risky
experiment in the winter months,
when the fire had to be fed, but the
owner felt no burglar would ever
dream of looking in a coal scuttle for
valuables.
Another lady once confided to the
writer that if she had occasion to
leave her house empty she Invariably
placed her jewelry in her old shoes,
which were placed alongside the new
ones. Quite a lot of valuables can be
forced down into the toes without Civ
ing the slightest evidence of the value
therein.
OF other hiding places perhaps the
most popular, especially for paper
money, is the big family bible. 1t is
quite customary thing in out-of-the-
way country houses to thus secure any
valuable papers in the possession Of
the family.
Tea-caddies and sugar bowls make
excellent temporary safes, and the
pocket of an old dress hanging in an
unconcealed way in u wardrobe is re-
garded by many women as one of the
safest places imaginable for spare
rings, brooches and bracelets.

A NOVEL LONDON CLUB.
II IL For the Special Benefit of Women
of the Ballet.

New York has n diversity of clubs
relating to the profession of the thea
ter, but it has nothing so novel and
needful practical as new organiza-
ton in London called the Rehearsal
club says the Dramatic Mirror.
This new club is in effect charity,
although Its conduct seems to be such
as to rob it of the features of bare
charity that might hinder It's greatest
usefulness. The Princess Christian is
its president, and its patronesses are
the marchioness of Salisbury, wife Of
the prime minister; the duchess of
Rutland, the marchioness of Grandy,
and Lady Gray. The duchess of Teck
was its first president
The Rehearsal club was started
through the efforts of Lady Louisa
Magenis, who discovered that the
women of the ballet, most of whom
attended rehearsals from long dis
tances. had no place for rest and shell
ter in the intervals between rehearsals
and performances. The time at their
disposal was often not long enough to
permit of u return to their homes; and
even if it We're, the cost of the jour
ney was an all-important considera-
ton. They could do nothing but stay
out of doors, exposed to all the vagar-
les and inclemencies OF London wealth
er, until they were due again at the
theater. Thus, with the assistance of
influential persons, the club was form
ed, several prominent actresses lend
ing it countenance and it has commo-
dious and comfortable quarters.
The club has cheerful sitting room
with living flowers and pictures and
books, conveniences for writing, and
current newspapers and periodicals,
but its dining room is the most popu-
lar feature. Here tea or cocoa is fur
nished at halfpenny, and chops,
steaks and other articles of food may
be had at amazingly low prices. The
members are asked to subscribe fee
of so cents for three months, although
no fee is required for rehearsal periods
and deficiencies are made up by the
generous friends of the institution.

with him. In moment his pursuer
was by his side, his. breath nearly
gone, but enough left to say, hurried
