LOVE AMONG SAVAGES.
Ability to Stand Torture n Test of
Masculine Devotion.

Among the Arabs of upper Egypt the
nit to whipping at the hands of all
her male relatives, and, says dry
narrator, ''if he wishes to be consider
ed worth having he must receive the
chatisement. which is sometimes ex-
ceedlngly severe, with an expression
of enjoyment"
Not infrequently 1t is the maiden her
self who imposes the test. The Saka-
lava girls of Madagascar make their
lovers stand at short distance from a
clever spear thrOwer and catch be-
tween the arm and side every weapon
flung at them. IL the youth displays
fear or fails to catch the spear, he is
ignominiously rejected, but if there be
no f1inching and the spears are caught
he is at once proclaimed an accepted
lover"
Worse than this is the trial enforced
upon their suitOrs by the DOngOlowee
girls. When i'm doubt as to the respec-
tive merits of two rivals, the young la
dy fastens a sharply pointed knife to
S"N" 'o'"' 'hch' SS"'ihS hc'"Sii pc
tween her lovers, she drives the blades
slowly into their thighs. and the hero
who takes the greatest length of steel
without a murmur wins the bride.
Major Mitchell in his Expeditions
Into the Interior of Eastern Australia"
says of the natives on the river Darling
that all their ideas Of fighting are as
sociated with the possession of gins or
wives and that after battle the wives
do not always follow their fugitive
husbands from the field, but frequently
go over, as matter of course, to the
victors." None but the brave deserve
the fair" is maxim well understood
Of most barbaric races. - Chambers

SuperHuOus Talk.

The late Professor Huxley, who was
as shrewd an observer Of men as he
was of nature, once remarked, after
falling into an indiscretion which an
noyed him, that when man says what
he has no need to say he Is sure to
blunder. The truth of the observation
will hardly be questioned unless by the
very few, If there are any such, who
never say more than there is necessity
for saying. Most of us acknowledge, If
we review our own experience In the
matter, that we have frequently erred
by saying what needed not to be said
But why is it that people so persistent
ly commit this mistake? In the ordi-
nary small talk of the household or Of
society 1t matters little whether it Is
committed or not.
But when serious matters are In
question, whether In conversation. in
set speech or in correspondence, case
is frequently spoiled by irrelevance or
redundance. To say what you mean is
comparatively easy; to leave Off when
you have said it Is difficult and for
many people impossible. In Huxley's
case the fault, which he probably did
not often commit, was due neither to
want OF clear thinking nor to want Of
facility In the use OF words. One or
the other or both of these causes will
explain the inability TO keep to the
point" which Is usually apparent in
the speech and writing of uneducated
persons. But often, also. the speaker
or writer forgets that extraneous con-
siderations, interesting enough to him
self, are Of no interest to those whom
he wishes to convince.

HANDLING BIG SERPENTS.
Poisonous Smokes In Demand by
Doctors For ExperimcntinR.


Doctors For Experimenting.
''In handling hi" snake you must
always touch him with soft smooth
gliding motion of the hand, making it
feel to him as much as possible like
the touch of another snake, and, be-
sides, you must be careful to keep his
tail out straight. Keep the tail straight
nothing, for he has not poison, but his
roll around your leg or arm or body
will crush the bones.
THE poisonous snakes-thc water,
mOccasinS, rattlcSnakcs and copper
headS-arc bought for ZOOS. Now and
then n doctor buys them heavily for
awhile. He wants to experiment with
their poison. After he has been bitten
two or three times he stops buying.
"Thcrc are a number of people who
buy snakes for pets. These people al
ways, without an exception, make pets
also of rats, mice and turtles. Any one
fond of snakes is sure to be fond of
those other things too. They keep their
snakes and turtles and rats as near as

them in their bedrooms. There was n
young man who used to come here last
year after pine snakes-a university
student. That young man would sit
with his hand in among the coils Of Il
cageful of snakes for hours. He would
take ones head in his hands and lift
its face close up to his own and gaze
for long time in Its eyes. Then he
would hold it off and stroke 1t and
study its changing colors in Il kind Of
trance. l don't know what pleasure or
satisfaction he got out of the snakes.
He bought over a dozen from me dur
ing the year and kept them in his bed
room in boarding house. They all
escaped one night through ratholc
and got among the neighbors and rails
