which will challenge the interest of young
men and women throughout the country.

A Snake and Some Eggs.

Mrs. Isabel Savory tells in her book,
IA Sportswoman In India" this story
about man she knew:
"He had a henhouse and q hen that
VAS sitting, but unluckily for her
hatching operations cobra got
through chinl in the henbouse. The
cobra made a fine meal of the well
warmed eggs, but when it essayed to
retire through the same hole through
which it had entered it found those
eggs in the way. 1t was much too
large to get out, so it stuck in the hole,
half in the henhouse and half outside.
There it was discovered next morning
In surfeited condition. 1t had paid
Tor its greediness with its life. and then
It paid back the eggs it had stolen, for
when the body of the snake was opened
the eggs were found all unbroken and
warm. They were replaced under the
hen and in due time were Matched.
aone the worse for their peculiar incu-
baton.
THE strange fact that the cobra
sould swallow whole an egg much big
ger than its own head is accounted for
by the peculiar construction Of that
head. The head and jaws Of the cobra
Ire loose and can be enormously
Itretched and distorted"
