A Reptile Famed For Beauty, Agi1-
ity, SavRgeness and Venom.
The Brazilian surucucu is reptile
that reaches a length, it is said, Of
twelve feet, and for beauty, agility,
sayageness and venom Is excelled by
none in Brazil. The old Dutch settlers
gave 1t the name of the bushmaster,
title it well deserves. The beautiful
glints of light on this reptiles scales
excel those on a humming birds
breast. 1t is of a reddish brown color,
with varied markings. 1t fortunately
is chiefly nocturnal and only frequents
dense woods, as a rule not coming near
houses.
The finest specimen l ever saw was
about eight feet long and had six fully
developed fangs, three on each side.
as well as eighteen in various stages
of growth, nine on each side. The front
fang was one and three-four<hs inches
long, exclusive of the bony base The eff
feet of a lunge from such serpent can
well be imagined This Is called "suru-
cucu," as it is said to make hooting
noise at night. and de Togo" as it is
said to approach light at night and
try to get as close as 1t can.
1t has a curved claw on its tail,
which the natives say it uses to dig
into the ground as fulcrum for its
leap on its victim. The natives have
great dread Of it, as well they may,
the size of the poison sacs being so
great, as well as its own size, agility
and proved savageness. London

PEOPLE WHO SUCCEED.
They Have Very High Sense of
the Way to Do Things.

They Have IA Very High Sense of
the Way to Do Things.
If there is that In your nature which
demands the best and will take moth
ing less and you do not demoralize this
standard by the habit of deterioration
in everything you do, you will achieve
distinction in some line if you have the
persistence and determination to fol-
low your ideal.
But II you are satisfied with the
cheap and shoddy, the botched and
slovenly, If you are not particular
about quality in your work or in your
environment or in your personal habits,
then you must expect to take second
place, to fall back into the rear of the
procession.
People who have accomplished work
worth while have had very high sense
of the way to do things. They have
not been content with mediocrity; they
have not confined themselves to the
beaten tracks; they have never been
satisfied to do things just as others do
them, but always little better. They
always pushed things that came to
their hands little higher up, a little
farther on. 1t Is this little higher up,
this little farther on, that counts in the
quality of life's work. 1t is the con-
slant effort to be first class In every
thing one attempts that conquers the
heights Of excellence Success.

DEFECTIVE SIGHT.
Some CaIlings That Are Bad For
Persona with WEAK Evea

Some CaIlings That Are Bad For
Persons With Weak Eyes.
Systematic examination of the eyes
of school children seldom fails to show
that considerable proportion of them
have defective sight and will therefore
be placed at disadvantage If in after
life they engage in employments for
which normal vision Is desirable.
Some useful suggestions ON the prac-
teal side of this question will be found
in DIR. Wilhelm Feilchenfeld's ''Gesund-
heltsphege des Auges." He says, for
instance, that sufferers from sensitive
eyes, with easily irritated conjunctiva
or with chronic or frequently occurring
Inflammation of the lids, ought not to
engage in work which is either assO-
ciated with the production of much
dust, such as baking or milling, or
which involves exposure to a dazzling
light, such as the occupation of a fur
mace man. Individuals in which symp-
toms Of ocular fatigue easily come on
ought not to choose an occupation
which requires straining of the eyes
by long continued near work. such as
sewing, knitting, copying or shorthand
writing. Individuals with progressive
shortsightedness must avoid all occu-
pations which entail great exertion up
on the eyes. They should not engage
in study or become clerks or mechan-
les, tailors,- dressmakers, fancy needle
workers or qullters.-London Lancet.

A famous American physician was
summoned to the bedside Of an elderly
grande dame Of distinguished name

physician examined her carefully.
Then he said:

or sweeping or busting. At noon

sleep in the afternoon; exercise again.
For dinner take nothing but a little
meat, a vegetable and toast; no
sweets. no wines. no social dissipation

Shooting crocodiles in India is a lit
tie like shooting mud turtles. A hunt
er describes the sport: I'VE suddenly
came on our first crocodile about a
mile from camp, asleep on the bank,
with its mouth open, not more than
twenty yards from us. 1t started to
get away, but | fired two shots as
quickly as l could get them off, the
first into its mouth and the second in
to its neck as 1t turned its head. That
stopped 1t effectually, and 1t never got
into the water. The next day we found
another crocodile, and my friend got
it just above the shoulder. This was
not enough to stop 1t, but we both fired
as 1t was getting into the water, and
one bullet hit 1t In front of the quar-
tiers. They sometimes come up again
when wounded, so we waited about
twenty minutes, and then looking
about l saw 1t lying on its back at the
bottom of the stream 1t looked dead
enough, so we got hold of the end of
the tail and pulled it ashore We gave
1t two more shots, one in the neck and
the other in the middle of the back,
and it then still had vitality enough
to bite paddle in two, though the
legs We're paralyzed and it could not
move"

At this point Eric broke into the

reHoCIOUS FRIENDSHIP.
An Incident In the Life of the TEA.
gedtan MacreRdy.

An Incident In the Life of the TEa-
gedian MacreRdy.
Between Macready and my brother
Charles existed a kind of ferocious
friendship. Macready, whatever he
may have been in private life, had at
the theater a simply horrible temper
and he was In the habit Of using at
rehearsals and even In an undertone
when acting the most abusive Ian
guage-language which my brother
sometimes passed by with a smile, but
which he occasionally holly resented.
He did not mind Macready constantly
addressing him as beast" but he OBJ
jected to having his eyes, his limbs
and his internal organs coupled with
invective terms. Yet, oddly enough,
the great tragedian, with whom he
was constantly quarreling, had grim
respect and liking for him. He knew
him to be a gentleman and a scholar
and one who was competent judge
Of picturesque effect and an acute dra-
matte critic. On one occasion Ma
cready having to play "Othello." and
my brother not being included in the
cast, the tragedian thus addressed him:
Beast, l want you to go in front to-
night and give me afterward a full and
candid opinion as to the merits of my
acting. Omit nothing. Tell me how l
played and how l looked. l have an
idea that | shall surpass myself this
evening" Now, the great actor used
to go through a tremendous amount Of
realistic effort In the part of Othello
and toward the close Of the tragedy
would get into such a disorganized
physical condition that he was all per-
spiration and foaming at the mouth
and presented a somewhat shocking
spectacle.
My brother duly occupied a seat in
the front row of the dress circle and
narrowly watched the performance
from beginning to end. Then he went
behind the scenes and repaired to
Macready's dressing room. The artist
was being disrobed by his dresser and
was painting with excitement In an
armchair.
well, beast, what was 1t likeT
My brother told him that he had de-
rived the highest qualification from
the performance and he had never seen
him play Othello more superbly. He
was magnificent In his speech to the
Venetian senate, the jealousy scenes
with Iago were splendid, the murder
of Desdemona was superb, and he died
inimitably. Macready's face lighted uD
more and more as my brother answer
ed his many queries.
"'Tis well, beast" he observed at
last. "'Iis well-very well. and, now,
what was my appearance did
look. beastT
My brother cogitated for moment
and then. with perfect candor, replied,
Like a sweep, sirl'' ~ G. A. Salas

Although the plant that produces the

in the United States to some extent
for fodder, all of this kind of seed re-

Rape seed comes mainly from Abys-

Hemp seed, likewise fed to cage

The Egg and the Chick.

An egg weighs about two ounces, of
which fifty grains compose the shell.
The chick from the egg will weigh
from an ounce to an ounce and half.
When six months old the clear meat
is one-third more than the bone. Yet
cases are Known where the weight
Of the chick has been nearly as great
as that of the egg, less the shell, when
the egg was put under the hen. A
chick should gain three ounces a week
after the sixth week If well fed.
