Win Their Way Back.
The history of the race is written in
the words 1t uses. As we grow and
change. so our language grows and
changes. Mr.. Leon Mead In his book
Word Coinage" points out that some
words 20 out of fashion and come
back, like tan shoes and wide trimmed
hats. although the change in words is
much slower than the change In dress.
In Sponsors day ''forestall," "fain,"
''scathes." "askance," "embellish' and
"dapper' were not considered good but
they have since gained responsibility
and won their place In the language.
The seventeenth century regarded as
obsolete number of Chaucer's words
Transcend" bland" sphere"
"blithe," franchise carve" IAN

to life again and walk the pages of our
literature In full vitality. Other words
now Indispensable which the seven
tenth century rejected are ''plumage."
tapestry" tissue" ledge ''tren-
chant" resource" 'villainy," thrill"
"yelp," "dovetail.n
Bacon did not have the good word

equivalent, "circle learning"
F1llke. the sixteenth century author
who wrote "a Defense OF the Sincere

THE KING COBRA.
II Is Considered the Most Dangerous
of All the Snake Family,

II Is Considered the Most Dangerous
of All the Snake Family.
Snakes, venomous snakes, may be d.
vided into two classes, the cObras and
the viperoids. The cobras, inhabitants
To the viperoids belong all other ven
0mous species. including our own splen-
did RATHER. the moccasin, the fer de
lance of the West Indies and the dead
ly bushmaster of Venezuela and the
Guianas.
Dramatically opposite, though equal
ly fatal, are the effects of the cobra
and the yiperoid poison. Dramatically
opposite. also are the two methods of
attack. The cobra at times Is aggres-
sive, the king cobra being said even to
pursue man. Silent, without the least
warning and from place where you
would least suspect, the round head
darts out of thicket, sharp pain
causes YOU to exclaim. and the frightful
fangs of the snake are buried in your
flesh Like the grip of bulldog they
hold fast, while from five to ten feet of
animated cable come stretching out of
the tlickrt TO coil leisurely beneath the
dread head
For this eternal hold on the victim
there is n natural reason. The fangs of
the ten foot cobra are but third of an
inch long. 1t il impossible, therefore,
to squirt the venom deep In single
stroke. In order to give the venom
time to absorb the snake must retain
its hold. The fatal poison contains
about 95 per cent of nerve destroying
and about 3 per cent Of blood destroy
ing elements. Within FIVE minutes the
pain leaves the wound. and even the
shock of the attack begins TO wear Off.
There is little suffering. nor will there
be to the relentless end. Only IL by
chance the bite is one from small
snake or II fresh supply of antitoxin
happens to be at hand is there chance
for your life. IL one RECEIVERS from the
immediate effects within a week one Is
as healthy as ever. While the poison Of
the cobra often kills within an hour
there have been cases where the
strike" Of a rattlesnake and a bush
master have caused death within ten
minutes. Neturallsts accept, however
that the king cobra, owing to its great
size and the consequent quantity and
quality of poison emitted, Is the most
dangerous OF all the snakes. - Nc
