A CRITICAL HUSBAND.
How He Was Thoroughly Tanned by
n Woman of Wit.

How He Was Thoroughly Tanned by
Woman of Wit.
l dare say there isn't a woman on
earth who hasn't n theory on the subject
of how to manage a husband, and have
never yet come across a man who was
any the worse for a little scientific ham
ding now and then. If l were in the
florist business, I'd send palm to a GER
tain senator's daughter, who has set an
example managing wives might follow
with profit. She has husband, this SEN
ator's daughter, who is disposed to be
critical. Most Of his friends are men Of
great wealth, who live extremely well,
and association with them has made him
somewhat hard to please in the matter
of cooking. For some time the tendency
has been growing on him. Scarcely a
meal at his home table passed without
criticism from him.
what is this meant for?' he would
ask after tasting an entree his wife had
racked her brain to think up.
What on earth is this?" he would say
when dessert came on.
SIS this supposed to be a saladP he
would inquire sarcastically when the let
tuce was served. The wife stood it as
long as she could. One evening he came
home in particularly captious humor.
His wife was dressed in her most becom.
ing gown and fairly bubbled over with
wit. They went in to dinner. The soup
tureen was brought in. Tied to one ham
die was a card and on that card the in
formation in big round hand:
''This is SOUP"
Roast beef followed, with n placard
announcing:
This is roast beef
The potatoes were labeled, the gravy
dish was placarded, the olives bore a
card marked "0lives," the salad bowl
carried a tag marked Salad" and when
the ice cream came in a card announcing
This is ice cream came with it. The
wife talked of thousand different things
all through the meal, never once refer
ring by word or look to the labeled
dishes. Neither then nor thereafter did
she say a word about them, and never
since that evening has the captious hus-
band ventured to inquire what anything
set before him is.-Washington Post.

II A SERPENT'S COIL.
A Desperate Struggle For Life with
a Ntonafer Python.

-
Some years since 1 was invited to the
house of surgeon who had just return
ed from Ceylon to see a freshly imported
python of great size. Upon arriving at
the house l found that the doctor was
absent and that his wife and maidsery-
ant were the only inmates.
Upon mentioning the nature of my
visit l was told that the serpent was in
q large box in the greenhouse. l was
handed the key of the box and informed
that there was no danger in opening 1t
because the serpent was below wire net
ting and therefore l would be able to
see it without the chance of it making its
escape.
l accordingly proceeded to the green
house, unlocked the box and opened the
lid. To my utter establishment the snake
was coiled up on the top of the wire net
ting and with the quickness of lightning
darted at me. l had just time enough
to seize it by the neck, when it instantly
wound itself around my right arm, and
had not the power to disengage myself
from the grip the serpent had made upon
me. The two women were Mortified,
and nothing would induce them to come
to my assistance. Ny only chance Of
getting rid of this powerful brute was by
trying to strangle him, to do which with
both hands l strove my utmost. 1t ap-
peared to me at the time that l should
not be able to accomplish my efforts to
squeeze his life out.
The constant increase of the pressure
he put upon my arm caused me to fear
that should entirely lose the power Of
my right hand, as l was grasping the
brute just below the head with all my
strength.
The time appeared to pass very slowly
without any visible diminution Of its
extraordinary grip. However, felt some
relief on finding after time that it was
slowly relaxing the pressure, and pres
emily it gradually slid off my arm until
its tail touched the ground. So soon as
1 found the snake sufficiently disengaged
from my arm l dropped it into the
box, apparently more dead than alive.
After this 1 did not consider it worth
while to purchase the reptile, although
/ heard from the owner that it was none
the worse for the squeezing had given
it-"Wild Animals In Captivity"

Wanted n Blot.

Before Cecil Rhodes went to Kimber-
ley he was walking near Paarl with Rud-
yard Kipling on hill whence a most
beautiful view was to be obtained The
outlook. however, was slightly spoiled by
three apple trees, and Rhodes decided
that they must come down. So he rush
ed to the nearest cottage and, finding the
door locked, broke it in, found an old ak
and began hacking the trees down. Kip
ling sat by in silence. At last the trees
fell. Rhodes sat down to enjoy the
view. Kipling got up, picked up piece
Of dirty rag that was lying on the ground
and tied it on a branch of one of the fall
en- trees.
what on earth did you do that for?"
said Rhodes. "Now can see the view"
replied Kipling "You must never have
a scene too perfect. You must always
have blot, and that is my blot. If you
get perfection, you cease to enjoy it."

Whenever Daniel Webster had a great
oratorical effort to make, he always used
n stimulant, lind on one occasion this
habit of his led to a funny incident. He
was speaking on the compromise meas
ure in 1850 and at intervals helped hirr-
self from q small ice water pitcher.
When he had finished, Senator Walker
of Iowa got up to reply, and, reaching
over to Webster's desk took portion of
the contents of the pitcher and attempted
to drink it. supposing it to be water. In
