African Snakes,

The African cobra is regarded some
what revcrently by the natives of that
country, who once year kill cobra
de cnpello and hang its skin to the
branch Of a tree, tail downward. Then
all the children born during the last
year are brought out and made to
touch the skin. This the parents think
puts them under the serpent's protec-
ton. The cobra de capello divides with
the horned viper Of Africa the ques-
tionable honor of being the worm of
the Nile to whose venomous tooth
Cleopatra s death was due.
The Katfirs use the venom of this
snakes cousin, the puff adder, to poi
son their arrows. and when they have
any small quantity left they swallow
It, having theory that it will protect
them from the bad effects of future
bites. The Snake tribe Of the Punjab
say that the bites of snakes do not hurt
them, and If they find dead serpent
they dress it in clothes and give 1t
superb funeral.

A simple Cure For Enrache.

II am afraid l have greatly inter
fcred with my own practice" said u
celebrated aurist, "hy giving the fol-
lowing advice to many of my friends:
AT the first symptoms Of earache
let the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear uppermost. Fold a thick
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with a teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water.
continue doing this for fifteen or
twenty minutes. The water will fill the
ear oriiice and flow over on the towel.
Afterward turn over the head, let the
water run out and plug the ear with
warm glycerin and cotton.
This may be done every hour until
relief is obtained. 1t is an almost in
variable cure and has saved many
cases of acute inflammation. The wa
ter should he quite warm, but not too
hot. London Tit Bits.

NO NEED OF STRIKE.
Political Demonstration in Stock
holm Is Considered Unnecessary.
UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE WANTED
Government Has Promised to Extend
the Franchise, but Reform
Moves Slowly.

Peaceful old Stockholm, where life is
gay and bright, is having the novel ex-
perience in a real political demonstration.
1t is most unusual occurrence in Stock
holm and is conducted in a most unusual
manner. The purpose of the strike re-
Gently inausurated, is, of course, to In
fluence the riksdag to extend the cleo
toral franchise. AS reforms have been
recommended by the king, the cabinet and
the members of the riksdag are generally
favorably disposed to the proposition.
the demonstration at this distance ap-
pears quite unnecessary.
If there was any certainty that the
promised reforms would be denied, there
would be an explanation for the demon
stration, but this does not appear to be
the case. Naturally the labor party is
anxious to have universal and unrestrlct-
ed suffrage, as in the United States,
which is more than the government is
disposed to grant. But reforms move
slowly in Sweden, and the fact has been
recognized and accepted by the Swedish
people until the present.
There is no likelihood OF any disorders
or bloodshed, as at Brussels. Barcelona
and Moscow. The demonstration In
Stockholm does not carry with 1t serious
results, beyond interference with com.
MERGE and manufacture. for few days.
Should there be a clash between the
strikers and the police, and the military
be called out as frequently happens IN
other large cities in Europe, all Scand1-
navia would be disturbed fully as much as
by an earthcuake.1
