Modern Atlas, published in 1915,
has a reference to 1.-THE sex which
ought to be very interesting to oui
modern college girl. The learned author
says:
Geography is a study 50 universally
instructive and pleasing that it has fol-
nearly century been taught even tC
females, whose pursuits are foreign from
serious researches. In the trivial con
versation of the social circle, in the
daily avidity of the occurrences of the

with rapid and important changes that
affect the very existence of states and
empires, geography has become n ha
bitual resource to the elegant female, a,

WHISKY NOT AN ANTlooTe.
Liquor Hastena Death of Persons Suf.
feriuK from Snake Bites,


Professor Leonhard Stejneger, who Is
said to know more about snakes and
the effect of their bites than almost
any other scientist, declares that one of
the most cherished beliefs regarding
serpents and their venom Is all bosh.
Whisky, he says, Is an unfailing aid of
death In the form of snake bite. and
more persons die from taking 1t as an
antldote than from the bites. Profess
sor Stejneger is the United States gov
eminent expert
Instead of whisky, the professor says.
the person bitten should take strych-
nine literally, and there need not be
the slightest fear of too much being
taken into the system. Administer this
poison, he says, until the bitten one
has the symptoms of lockjaw. and then
1t may be known that the snake poison
has been baffied and rendered entirely
harmless.
1.-The trouble Is" said Professor Stej-
meyer, that whisky increases the rap
ldity of the circulation. 1t helps the
poison journey quickly through all the
arteries and veins. SO, you see, instead
OF being an antldote and neutrallzlng
the effect OF the venom. II helps II
along. Think, considering these facts.
of the condition of Il person who. bitten
by poisonous snake, drinks whisky
until literally unable to swallow any
more.
what is the physical condition nm
der such circumstances? While the pol
son is being driven through the system
the patient becomes stupefled, In fact
lethargic, and in that very condition OF
mental and physical collapse which Is
the one thing that should be prevented
when suffering from poisonous
snakes bite. TO be sure. a small
amount of stimulant is not bad idea,
but 1t should be slight-yery little, In
deed TO give all of any stimulant it is
possible to drink at such time is little
short of criminality."

VORACloUS LITTLE ROBINS.
Each Required Fourteen Yards of
AnglewOrms Every Day.


A would be philanthropist relates his
experiences trying to play mother to a
nest of little robins. which had by some
accident been deprived of their rightful
mothers care. He diligently set to
work digging angleworms, and sup
posed that he was fulfilling his whole
duty, when one Of the poor little songs
tiers died. Upon examination of the
body, which was reduced to skin and
bone, the foster parent came to the con-
elusion that it must have died of starry
alton.
Deeply grieved at his shortcoming,
he redoubled his efforts, determined to
at least save the other two. 1t was not
long. however, before second one died,
evidently Of the same malady. The good
man then resolved that, whatever the
third one died of, it should not be
starvation, and took off his coat and
went to work in earnest. He kept on
with the angleworm diet until lac found
that his one little bird was consuming
from Ia 10 Is yards of angleworms a
day This was too much for his pa
thence. and he proceeded to substitute
the more easily managed diet of bread
and milk and other delicacies, which
were, however, not nearly so much to
Miss Robin taste.
Wanting to discover whether he had
been catering to a family of abnormal
appetites, our friend took to watching
the methods of a real mother bird and
found that she fed her young every two
minutes. He then consulted the learned
books upon birds and discovered that
IA yards of worms a day, with meals
every two minutes. is the average rate
Of feeding fedgelings. He has therefore
decided that he does not care to take
mp raising birds by hand as business.
