Snakes swallow Their Young.

Many naturalists claim that some
snakes swallow their young TO protect
them from threatening danger, and
other naturalists say they do nothing
OF the sort-that the idea Is absurd
Charles Frederick Holder. whose die.
tum on such matttrs will be received
with unquestioning belief. says that
while he has never seen a snake swal
low its young, he knows that IL does
and quotes in proof statement mad,
10 him by Colonel Nicholas Pike, who
was at one time United States Consul
at Mauritius.
Colonel Pike says that he once saw q
good-sized garter snake with n brood OF
young ones near her. As he approached
her she put her head 1at on the ground
and opened her mouth, making n pecu
liar noise as she did so. This the little
ones evidently understood. for they all
crawled hastily into her mouth. lie
picked her up by the neck and put her
into n bag, and when he got home he
had twenty snakes instead OF one.
At another time he saw n male and
female striped snake, with their young
ones crawling all about them. Both
OF the old euakes turned toward him ms
he came near. and then, putting their
heads fat on the ground, they opened
their mouths and made n faint noise,
when the young ones all ran In. He
caught both snakes, and put them in
separate bags. and aftcrward found
that the mother snake had swallowd-l
ten young ones and the father snake
five.

TO DRAW OUT OTHERS

Most people can talk, yet one rarely
meets with truly good conversation
alist-that is, one who la the power 10
draw others out while saying little
and who listens 10 what is said with
interest.
1t is. however, in the power OF any
educated person to become a good con-
NersationaliSt. and the secret of il lies
IN forgetting self and showing real
interest il the person with whom you
are thrown. Almost every person has
some favorite topic Of conversation: !:
learn il, and if you cannot talk intelll-
gently on the subject, listen a.tentively.
When talking, the voice should not
be raised above its natural tone, Civ
ms your listener the impression that
you are talking nj him rather than TO
him.
If You find that your companion is
somewhat despondent and irritable,
lead the conversation into pleasant
channels; tell him the amusing things
you have read and DO all in your power
10 make him forget himself. and he
VIII forget himself IL YOU interest him.

WOMEN GROWING WISER.

Are We womankind growing wiser.
or is ii merely the inevitable turning
OF the wheel OF fashion that has
brought in the modern corset? Certain
il is that Fashion has decreed that we
shall no longer have small wasp
like waists. The sculptors and paint
erS who have all along been telling us
OF the beauties OF the natural un-
hampered waist will say: "What have
we been telling you?" and will point
out 10 Us the examples of the world Of
art and the figures Of the old masters.
But then we knew all that, and most
OF us wished for this happy period to
come, but what can woman do when
Fashion sets the pace? Very few OF
us have the courage OF our convictions
when 1t comes 10 disregarding the
mandates OF that terrible ruler. OF
course we had the plea of the necessity
of something to hang and drape our
clothes on. and the need OF a ccrtan in
amount of support. but the fact re-
mains that thousands of women and
girls have been hurried To untimely
graves or sustained serious internal in
iuries from tight lacing.
The modern corset is n mere band
Of whalebone and ribbons compared
with tho steel-ribbed. unyielding
"strait-jacl;ets' worn some years ago.
The corset of to-day is made on entirely
different lines. being short, OF soft ma.
terial. with but n couple OF bones. and
il is shaped on hygienic and physiologi-
cal principles. giving the internal or
gans proper amount of space and
freedom. and allowing ample play for
the movements OF the ribs and upper
chest I'm breathing.
Probably one OF the most prolific
agents in bringing about this fortunate
change is the modern devotion to out
door games, pastimes and pursuits.
No woman squeezed up in an old-fash-
ioned corset sIch as our mothers worr
could. even had she drec med Of such
n thing. walk half mile. let alone run
and stoop, strike at a bail, manipulate
n fishing rod, or paddle n canoe. And
the results are most gratifying. for
never In the worlds history has there
dwelt such n race Of strong healthy
girls and beautiful, graceful and happy
women as we are.-Chicago Record
