The Lady and the Cobra.

An English woman residing in India
one evening found to her horror that a
huge cobra had coiled itself about her
veranda rails, near which she sat play
ing the violin. She was too near the
snake to run with safety, so she contin-
ued playing while she gradually edged
away. At first her only idea was to
keep the creature thus engaged while
she escaped, but when she had gained
a safer distance and perhaps fascinat-
ed by the unwonted sight a strange in
spiration seized her. She played air
after air Of different characters.
The effect was magical. That snake

ing change In the attitude Of the cobra.
If she played lively dance, it swayed
its body sideways in quick time and
yet In graceful curves. Once she struck
a number of false notes in rapid sue
cession on purpose. The cobra WINGED
and writhed in pain as If suddenly
struck with whip.
Thus the creature behaved like q
mad musician till the lady, getting
tired Of the sport, gradually worked
herself farther and farther and then
made sudden bolt into her room and
banged the door, leaving the cobra to
wander disconsolate to it's lair in the
fields.

perhaps the most curious feature
Of all Siberian cities and villages is the

yet they are alive and thriving. Our
conception of prosperity in new cities
is so associated with the clang Of the

weird writings Of the steam siren and
the hustle Of the population that 1t Is
hard for us to realize that prosperity
may exist in a place Of dead calm.
"Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Blagovest-
chensk and Irkutsk all present the
same features. Blagovestchensk, in the
heart Of eastern Siberia, on the juno
ton Of the Zeya river with the Amur,
is perhaps the most interesting city.
On the central square of the city, where
the market Is, face two large depart
ment stores which for size, beauty Of
architecture and variety of stock would
do credit to any American city. The
bank buildings, the museum and other
business and government houses are
of brick or stone. Good schools have
been established, so that 1t is possible

QuickDilveP.

The ore from which quicksilver Is OBJ
tained is brilliant red rock known as
cinnabar. When Of high purity, 1t is
actually vermilion in color. Cinnabar
Is the original source of the pigment
known commercially as vermiliOn. II
Is a compound of sulphur and quick
silver, and in order to separate the lat
ter from the sulphur the rock is roast
ed. Passing off in the form of gas,
the mercury Is afterward condensed
and flows out in fine stream, like a
continuous pencil of molten silver.
The discovery of the famous Califor-
MIA mines came about in an odd sort of
way by observation of the vermilion
paint with which certain Indians in
that part Of the country frescoed their
bodies. 1t was ascertained where they
got the pigment, and thus were revealed
the rich deposits which subsequently
became Of such commercial impor-
lance. Like gold and silver, mercury is
occasionally found in native or pure
state. Sometimes the miners pick

full or more of the elusive and beauti-
full fluid.
Miners suffer much from the poison
Gus effects of the quicksilver fumes. Ex-

for workers in this dangerous occupa-
