16 degrees centigrade above absolute

Snake. Have No Fascinating Power. /,

Naturalists are not at all agreed up
on the point as to whether snakes are
able to fascinate their prey. Certainly
they do not possess the power to the
extent that popular belief would have
1t. Stories of the weird and mystic
influence of serpent's eye fall fiat in
the face of scientific accuracy. What
can be said of snakes, however, is that
their very appearances paralyzes the
victim. It cannot move for fright, for
its faculties are temporarily suspended.
There is no fascination about this,
however. 1t is fright and fright alone.

graduate of the Training school of the
New York hospital Miss Remsen, has made
specially Of obstetrics. 1t is customary
for trained nurse engaged in confinement
cases to be at the home of the prospective
mother several days before the arrival OF
the new born. AS her salary dates from her
entrance to the household, she is expected
to make herself useful
On one occasion Miss Remsen discovered
that the aseptic obstetri2al paraphernalia
demanded in the sick room by modern
medical science had not been provided In
vestng $l.50 in sterilized gauze and cotton
she employed her waiting time fabricating
the essentials for mother and child Her
success suggested the feasibility of pre-
pairing a like outfit and expressing same to
prospective mother residing outside New
York, and whom she was engaged to nurse
during her confinement. The articles
neatly wrapped in sterilized paper and
packed in large white pasteb ard box were
duly sent and the delighted mother gladly
paid for the same $12.
A nurse engaged in some of the wealthiest
New York families eventually heard of Miss
Remsen's enterprise and gave her several
orders for similar outfits Her recon-
mendation brought others. On the strength

reputation in the nursing world this ener-

an office in one OF the most popular shop

To Canada and Cane Town, Africa, her
goods have been shipped, reaching their
destination in perfect condition, which at
tests their seaworthness. The up-to-date

This precaution is taken to kill germs.
There are two methods of sterilization

means Of a chemical
Miss Remsen's articles are submitted to
the aseptic process. She maintains that her
aseptic cbstetrical pad set, which viii be
shipped to any address for $12, is an econom-
ical investment for woman OF the modest
purse. 1t includes one heavy weight bed
pad, three medium weight bed pads, six
dozen sanitary napkins, one dozen baby nap
kins, four binders, one pound absorbent cot
ton, sterilzed gauze, sterilized tape and
safety pins. Each is thoroughly aseptic,
absorbent and deodorant. Each is wrapped
in sterilized parchment paper before being
packed in sealed boxes and are to be burned
after use. 1t amply provides for mother and
child during the first two weeks of conflne

laundry, which every mother knows is one
of the most expensive items attending

New York for less than So. Miss Remsen
claims that the price of the obstetrical set is
less than the average laundry bill covering
the period of confinement, while the cleanli-
ness and convenience of the whole Is in
calculable. Out of this bright woman's
cleverness in perceiving a want, and ther
setting about to supply it, has grown a de,

Mrs. Larmer was never quite clear as to
how many hours she had passed with the
Indians. From the moment of captivity.
when they had started off with her child
and herself in their train, she had concen-
trated every faculty on watching for an op-
portunity of escape. She had seen her hus-
band struck down by arrows, killed. as she
supposed; had seen the wagons fired and
her friends killed and wounded She had

one day she would be their wretched victim,

self and child away from their clutches and
die in some other way than by their tor
lures. She had always been girl of fear
less disposition, quick in her movements
and very observant. She pretended to be
bodily in a languid and almost immoVable
state. After hours Of waiting and watching
their dances and listening to their plans for
further depredations, when they had ceased
TO observe her. she found chance to slip
away beyond the fires into the dark bush.
For hours and hours, through two days and
nights, she struggled on, faint, nearly dead,
until she fell exhausted in the camp of the
cavalry.
ut was happy time, of course, when she
found her young husband alive. All they
had in the world was gone but after the
horrors of their experience had passed away
little, and health was in a measure re-
stored, they started out afresh. Mrs. Lari-
mer has always been the business manager
of the firm. Her husband never had his
health completely restored. After great
many years the court Of claims awarded
Mrs Larmer a sum of money for her losses
by Indian depredations and the valuable
information she had given the United States
