There is little Irish tailor in Har

won and is maintained much like that
of the tailor in the old story who killed
nine at a blow" Fortunately, this
knight of the scissors has discretion.
One morning Mrs. Murphy, custom
er, entered the shop, and finding the
tailor busy with pencil and paper, asked
him what he was doing.
I'm making a list av the min on this
block who l can lick" said he, pomp-
,usly
Have We Murphy's name DOWN.
asked she.
Murphy heads the list" was his re-
ply.
Mrs. Murphy hurried home with the
news, and Mr.. Murphy came down to the
shop with fire in his eye.
ME woman tells me- he reared, "thot
you're after making a list of the men
you can lick. and thot you've got me
down at the head of it. Is it true?''
Sure, and it's true. What OF it?"
Why. you good-for-nothing little
grasshopper, could wipe you out with
my little finger. l could wipe the floor
with you with both me hands ted
Are you sure about that?" asked the
tailor, anXiously.
Sure? Sure I'm sure about it,
WELL" sighed the tailor, regretfully
then I'll have to scratch you off the
list

Olive oil is figuring among the Syr-

The tree requires but little care, and
lives to be every old. In Syria the

the injury thus caused to the branches
probably accounts for the short yield

MUSIC AS A LURE.
The Way the Deadly Cobra Is Cap
tureu In India.

tured In India
The death dealing cobra is passion
! ately fond of music, and it is through
! this means that its capture is often ac-
complished, The men in India who
can effect the capture of this deadly
able skill or their lives are The forfeit.
When cobra takes up its abode in the
ncighborhood OF a dwelling house it is
customary to send for the professional
snake charmers. One of them strikes
up a tune near the place where the
snake is supposed to be located No
matter what the creature may be do
ing. it is at once attracted by the sound
of music 1t energies slowly from its
l, hiding place and strikes an attitude in
front of the performer There it is
kept engaged with the music while the
other man crccps up behind with a
handful of dust At convenient mo-
ment. when the cobra is standing mo-
tionlcss, this man suddenly throws the
dust over the head and eyes of the
snake. Immediately the cobra falls its
length upon the ground and remains
there for one short second, but the sec
ond is enough. With a movement like
lightning the man Seizes the body of
/ the PROSTATE serpent just below the
head. In great anger the cobra winds
Itself round and round the arm OF its
! captor but to no purpose, for 1t cannot
turn its head and bite. If the fangs are
to be extracted at once the captor
| presses his thumb on the throat of the
cobra and thus compcls it to open it's
mouth The fangs are then drawn
With pair of pinchers. IT, however, he
wishes to keep the snake intact for the
present the musician comes to help
him and forcihly unwinds the coils and
places the body in a basket. all but the
head, which is firmly held by the other
man. He presses down the lid ito pre-
vent the cobra from escaping. and sud
| denly the captor thrusts the head in
and bangs the lid
A very expert performer can capture
the snake single handed, though it is
highly dangerous. While playing with
one hand he throws the dust sideways
with the other and captures the snake
with the same hand. The whole action
| must be like a flash of lightning. for a
CLING in throwing the dust or catching
the snake would prove fatal to the
operator

Dirty washing.

Natives of Morocco think that Euro
peans and Americans are dirty. The
habit to- which they object Is that Of
washing the hands or face in basin
and, still more, taking bath where the
water is not running. The cleaner the
bather becomes, they say, the dirtier
the water he is washing with must
necessarily become. And eventually
the. ,bather steps forth as cleansed
from water which is no longer clean.
