Curiously enough, much of his own
hot anger and indignation had left
him, and he found himself looking at
the matter from the position of an out
slider or an onlooker. No doubt Stella
would readily enough admit the enor-
nifty of Kane's offense, but Rick could
see how it might appear to her as a
mere episode in a daring and adven-
turous mans career Then, too, the
beggar had made clean breast of it!
However, Stella kept her room all
the next day, and SO no one knew what

REALM OF CHRISTMAS JOY.
We May Find 1T by Doing All That
We Can to Make Others
Happy.

There is one self-denial so costly that
we should deliberate well before we de-
eide to make it. 1t is the self-denial in
volved in not entering into the spirit of
the Christmas season by doing what we
can to make others happy
We can all understand the disposition
of the poor seamstress who lived for
weeks on the most frugal fare in order
that she might enjoy the luxury of max
ing a few Christmas presents to those
she loved. Perhaps it was not wise, and
she was impairing her own health and
efficiency by the self-imposed sacrifice;
but we all recognize the nobility of the
spirit. Such a woman has the divine
quality that ELECTS affection because she
has it. It is devotion like that which
is more lovely to discerning eyes than
beauty of face or form, or the possession
of accomplishments.
Most of us do not have to sacrifice our
selves like that in order to show our good
will and interest in others. but we do
not always do 1t as we might. Too often
we suffer our Incidence, or thoughtless-
ness, or unwillingness to have our con-
venience disturbed, shut fast the door
through which we might pass to min.
istration and sympathy that would bless
others and enrich our own hearts.
Whether you have much money or little,
you can look around you to see what
you can do to make others happier, and
in doing it you will find that your own
heart enters the realm of Christmas joy.

FOX FOOLED THE WOLF.
An Animal Story with a Moral Which
Had It's Origin Among the
IrOauOis Indians. g..

AS everybody knows, the wolf hates
the fox. According to the Iroquois In
dams, this is why:
One cold wintry day fox, who was
prowling about looking to see where he
might steal his dinner, saw wagon
coming. It was loaded with fish, and
was driven by some fishermen who
were taking home their days catch.
'tAh, ha!'' said the cunning fox.
''Here comes my dinner" and he fell
down by the roadside and pretended to
be dead.
The fishermen, seeing him, picked
him up and threw him into the wagon
among the fish. Then the fox slyly
threw out some fish, and when the fish,
ermen were not looking jumped out
himself and made of with the fish he
had thrown out.
Pretty soon afterward he met wolf,
who said: Il am hungry, and guess
I will eat you for my dinner?"
But the fox said: would you not
rather have fish for dinner?"
The wolf replied that, on the whole,
he thought he would prefer fish. Then
the cunning fox told him of the trick
by which he had just got his own din
ner, and advised him to try it. The
wolf was pleased at the idea, and so
he ran through the woods and head
ed of the team which the fishermen
were driving, falling down in the road
in front of it and pretending to be
dead. But the fishermen, who had by
this time discovered the trick the fox
had played upon them, instead of TAX
ing him into the wogan, beat him with
clubs SO that he barely escaped with
his life. And on hillside near by sat
the fox, who laughed and laughed

no sign of being different in structure
from that of ordinary species.
The cobra sometimes grows to a
length of six feet, and often finds its
way into the walls and roofs of houses,
being fond of the rats which abound
in such places in India. These snakes
go about il pairs, and they never
stray far from each other. The female
lays about II eggs, which are nearly
as large as those of pigeon, white,
and very soft shelled.
The natives of India have what they
call snake stones,' which are very
porous and absorbing substances, and
when these are applied to the wound
they draw up a considerable quantity
of blood. How such crude treatment
can ever effect cure seems incred-
ible, but many instances have been re-
ported by Englishmen where deception
was out of the question. The wild
jungle fowl are said to feed on the
young snakes, and the curious little
furry creature, the mongoose, is the
cobra's worst enemy, showing great
skill and cunning in attacking and
avoiding the fangs of the reptile. The
snake is invariably killed in these en-

MOST vENOMoUs SNAKE.
Hooded Cobra of India Is the Direct
Cause of Hundreds of Deaths
Every Year.

One of the most interesting, as we'll
as the most deadly of all snakes, is
the hooded cobra, of India. In that
country hundreds of people die every
year from the venomous bite of these
reptiles AS it lies coiled up in little
heap in its cage, it looks inoffensive
enough, and not nearly so unpleasant
as the stub-tailed ebony moccasins. But
when excited, the cobra rears up its
head and about one-third of its body,
and we now see the reason for the
name hooded" The ribs just back
of the head are very long and slender,
and when they are extended straight
out from the body the skin stretched
between them forms curved shield or
hood around the head. On the back
of this hood, in the adult snake, is a
most remarkable ornament, looking
like two eyes with pair of spectacles.
nosepieces and all. In no two snakes
is this ornament exactly alike, and some
individuals lack it altogether.
When the snake sways back and
forth, all ready to strike, it's tongue
playing like lightning, one may indeed
be glad that thick sheet of glass is
between him and this terrible threat of
death. But one must remember that
this tongue has nothing to do with the
venom or bite, the poison fluid being
stored up in little sacs, and when the
snake strikes it is forced down and
out through the hollow teeth.
This is the snake which the snake
charmers of the east use in their per-
formances, and the photograph shows
a snake in one of the very baskets
which these strange people use. The
music of the flutes evidently excites
them to spread their hoods, as does the
presence of food.
When the hood is not in suse, it is
closed back upon the neck and folds so
neatly between the ribs that 1t disap-
pears, and the neck Of the snake shows

INCREASED SALE OF RAZoRs.
More Men Than Ever Before Now
Shave Themselyes-Many Own
More Than One Blade.

"There are sold in this country to-
day." said cutlery man to New York
Sun reporter, "a hundred times as many
razors as were sold here 40 years ago.
Some share OF this increase is due,
of course, to the advance in population,
but the greater part is due to the large
increase in the proportion OF men VINO
shave themselves. More men than ever
before now possess this polite art. With
a greater number of individual users of
razors there are, of course, many more
razors now sold. And, of course, plenty
of men own more than one razor; every
one ought to own two, at least, as many
men do. One good razor properly cared
for might serve it's purpose continuously
and we'll for long time without re-
grinding or honing, but an accident
might happen to it, and against that q

can be bought with a plain handle for

the soft night only broken by the muslcai
murmur OF conversation as the men talk
together Of God and the hope OF Israel,
for God reveals Himself to man when
his heart is turned towards Him and
when his thought searches out the deep
things of Scripture. It is quite in har-
mony with Scripture and the Divine
methods to suppose that these simple
but devout Jews were talking OF the
promises of God made to Israel of a
Saviour and Deliverer. Faith was
reaching up toward God in anticipation
and certainty Of fulfillment, whens"lo,

and the glory of the Lord shone round
about them" Heaven and earth seemed
to mingle and the outstreaming glory
