Ing leaps from the boughs of trees to
the ground. It is found that scales on
the lower part of the body may be
drawn inward so that the whole lower

the snakes do not fall in writhing coils,
but are let down gently in a direct line
by the pa%rachute-like action of their

kissing bee, usual in the final act,
should be omitted, or rather, confined
TO parents of the bride, the BRIDE
groom's mother, the bridegroom, his
sisters and few girl friends. There

this edict became known, and Alice,
who did not know what q trial il
might be, pouted a little, but the
bridegroom was memorable, thus early,
in asserting the new estate, that be
was master of the household. So we
now have high precedent for decid.
ing just who is eligible as kisser at flu.
ture weddings. And it is doubly "offi.
cial," from the fact that the Surgeon.
General of the U. s. Army was con-
suited as to its advisabillty, and de.
clared emphatically that promiscuous
kissing might spread disease.

"Only four page publication," is

light. 1t is recognition that merit
is not always dependent upon size.
Take the soap bubble for instance :
the more wind that is blown into it,
the Trailer it becomes. till it bursts.

indication OF merit, it will be renem-

the Olympian shed its overcoat of

more recent that it made pitiful
plea that a Rev" gentleman with an
alias had ruug in "co!d deck upon
the young and inexperienced purchas-
er, and that instead Of paying its way
as had been promised, it had steadily
lost money and he had therefore been
deliberately selected as dump-spot.
If the Olympian makes good its
claim to progressiveness it will be seen
that its progress" is as downward as
cows tail. 1t is hoped that the
young man who pleads the baby act

losses sustained, will receive kindly

never wavered from duty whatever
may have been the temporary loss,
from vituperation, or labor involved,
