KAFFIR'S ANTIDOTE.
which Made sorpent's Venom HarmI

Which Made serpents Venom Harmless.
A road party, comprising the usual
gang of from fifty to sixty Kafirs, was
employed, says a writer in the London
Spectator. on the construction of
road In the Tuegla valley, Natal, about
thirty or more years ago. In the
course Of their work they came upon
a huge stone which 1t was necessary to
remove. but beneath II was the home
of large black mamba, we'll known
to the neighboring inhabitants as being
old and, therefore, very venomous.
The mamba is the most deadly Of the
South African snakes, and the super
intendent anticipated some trouble
over that rock. He offered bride for
the snakes skin, and the gang
"wow'd!" and sat down to "bema
gwi' (take snuff. But a slim youth
sauntered forward and, amid the jeers
and proteststions of the rest, declared
himself equal to the task. He took
from his neck what looked like bit
OF shriveled stick, chewed 1t, swal-
lowed some Of 1t, spat out the rest on
his hands and proceeded to rub his
glistening brown body and limbs all
over. Then taking up his stick and
chanting a song of defiance he ad-
vanced with great confidence and
swagger to the bowlder. There he
reused up the mamba, which. in great
fury at being disturbed. bit him in the
lip The boy took no notice OF the
bite. but broke the snakes back with
his stick and, bringing it to his master.

down in his family for generations.
The snake was very long one, and 80

PEACoCKs AND TIGERS.
Legend Is That They Are Devoted t.
Each other.

Each Other.
Peacocks and tigers are believed
usually to live together. There is also
a common jungle legend that leopards
and tigers can fascinate peacocks. The
story may originate in the fact that
both leopards and peacocks have spots,
and that there is some mysterious re-
lationship between them. Col. Tytler
had an experience which showed that
the natives believe in the story. When
stalking a peacock he was rather sur
prised to see how near it allowed him
to approach. The bird paid no atten-
ton to him but was gazing intently,
as IL fascinated, at a little patch Of
jungle just in front. Looking in the
same direction he saw a leopard steal
ing on its belly toward the bird, which
continued to remain still in the same
position. He was greatly surprised, for
he had never even heard Of leopards in
that neighborhood, but his astonish-
ment was greater when, on his raising
his gun, one barrel of which was load
ed with ball, and covering the animal,
the leopard threw up his paws and
shrieked in a voice hoarse with ter
ror: "Nehin. Sahib, nehin, NUT chu-
loa" Ono, sir, no, don't fire'O. He
said that for a moment he thought he
must be going mad, and all the In
dian tales of enchanted princes and
fairies. were wolves and the like
flashed through his recollection. The
next moment he saw a man very clev-
erly disguised in leopard skin, with
a well-stuffed head, and bow and ar
row in one paw, standing before him.
The man so dressed was a professional
fowler, who said that in that disguise
he could always approach near enough
to shoot the birds with bow and ar
row. and sometimes to catch them in
his hand.-London Spectator.

LOVE, LITERATURE, LAW.

Mrs. Henry Siegel, wife of the pres
ident of the big New York and Chicago
firm Of Siegel Cooper & Co., gradu-
ated a few days ago from the woman's
class in law of the New York uni
versity. When she married Mr.. Siegel
It was said that love and literature
had attained a climax in her life, be-
cause her first novel, Juleps and
Glover, came from the press just two
hours before the wedding. And now
it. is a combination of love, literature
and law. 1t is not thought for a mo-
ment that Mrs. Siegel is going to open
an Office and hang out a sign reading
Marie Vaughan Siegel, Attorney at
Law" But she is one of the few
women who realize the value Of a
legal education and demonstrated her
realization by taking a course in the
women's law class. 1t is thought that
she may have a line of literary work
in view that could be aided with a
clear idea OF general law. Mrs. Siegel
is the daughter of Judge Vaughan. the
veteran Illinois jurist, and a cousin of
Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio. She is
also related to Cardinal Vaughan. She
is well known in New York literary
circles, having been frequent contrib
utor to the leading magazines as Mrs.
Marie Vaughan Wilde. She first met
