To drive slowly over cobblestones is
not joy. but to drive four Russian
horses at a gallop over cobblestones was
something to make you bite your tongue
and TO break your teeth and to shake
your very soul from its socket. l most
solemnly assure You it was anything
but n simple drive to one fresh from the
asphalt of Paris. for. like Jehu, they
drove furiously. Their horses are all
wild, runaway beasts, and they drive
them Mt an uneven gallop resembling
the gait of our fire engine horses at
home. except that ours go more slowly.
Sometimes the horses fall down as
they drive across country. or stop only
for stone walls or meats. The carriages
must be built of iron. for the front
wheels drop few feet into burrow
every now and then, and at such times
an unwary American is liable to be
pitched over the coachman's head

eyes, and keep your tongue from be-
tween your teeth. would be my instruc-
tious To one about to take drive" in

A Queer Kind of Savage.

When Albert Henry Savage Lander
reached st. Petersburg on his way from
the Forbidden Land the fact was duly
chronicled. and the London press asso-
Citations sent cable messages to Austria
lia telling of the hairbreadth escapes
and manifold sufferings The Melbourne
Times received but short note, which
was this
"A. Savage Landor arrived in st.
Petersburg today from Tibet after
suffering greatly at the hands of the
natives.
This was meager enough. but the
news editor was equal to the occasion.
The following morning among the
other matters of news, tine readers of
The Times found this startling informa-
tom
"A savage landor got into St Peters
burg yesterday, and the people of the
city We're terrified After considerable
difficulty the beast, which came from
Tibet, was captured. taken to a re
mote place and there dispatched. 1t is
said that this is the first animal of the
sort ever seen in Russia. How he reach

Snakes have the sense of smell 1t is
difficult to obtain food for the rattle
snakes and copperheads out at the ZOO
logical park. The keeper has been try
ing them on the house rats and mice he
has caught about the building He
would leave them in the snake cage over
night and through the day. They would
run over the snakes with IMMUNITY
The snakes would pay no attention to
them, but when he happened to secure
some field mice and put them in the
cage the snakes ate them mt once. He
put in several rats and mice of the or
binary house variety that were living
out of doors under the sidewalk, and
these We're seized by the snakes almost
rs readily rs the wild species.
The keeper then conceived the idea of
making an earth box to keep the rats in
for awhile before feeding. and he found
that if they We're put in there for IL
hours or so before they We're given to
the snakes they would be eaten The
only apparent explanation is that the
smell of the earth is agreeable to the
snakes, and that the smell which the
animals acquire about buildings is OBJ
jectionable. Chicago Record

The superiority of Japanese drawing
can probably be traced to the custom of
that land to make the children practice
painting and drawing without the use
of any stick or supporting device for the
hand. They are taught to draw at the
same time they arc taught to write the
letters of the alphabet, and they are
taught to use both hands equally In the
task
Tho natural preference given to the
right arm has been explained physiolog-
ically by the construction Of the veins
and nerves that enter the arms, those of
the right arm being more prominent
The reverse is the case in the few who

An Uncomfortable Superstition.

A very uncomfortable superstition
prevails in the Minieh province in
Egypt. Whenever Il pigeon house is to
be made, the fellahin consider that
the pottery used in its construction
should DO baked by the help of human
body. A pigeon house was to be erected
recently ut the village Of Benz Somrook,
in this province, and this necessary pre-
liminary of its construction was not
forgotten A young child was first
caught and in spite of its struggles
was put in an oven and burned alive
while the pottery was baked with the
aid of this human holocaust. Two men,
one of them Il potter by trade have
been arrested ON suspicion Of having
taken part in this old custom Cairo
