They Worship SerDenfs.

Travacore, on the southwest coast
of InLia, is notable as one of the few
places where the natives, still regard
serpents as deities.
"l'here are thousands of shrines in
the districts" said an Anglo-Indian
where tn superstitious natives make
offerings of food, burn candles. and
chant hymns in order to gain the fav-
or of their scaly idols.
"Some of these shrines harbor
swarm of snakes. which increase and
multiply without intolerance, but
snake-bites, are very rare.
Treated so well, the reptiles become
docile md harmless, and children play
fearlessly in the groves where the
snakes abound.
"When, however, as sometimes hap.
pens, the neighborhood of a shrine be
comes so overrun with reptiles that
there is danger OF treading on them
the surplus snakes are reverently re
moved by the priests to other less
crowded localities"

The President and the Emperor

There is a considerable difference
between the hunting exploits of Pres
ident Roosevelt and his friend Emper.
or William. When the President goes
hunting, he takes pot luck with the
bunch and depends upon his activity
and skill to get his share of the hunt
ing, which, because of his real ability
in such lines, is usually a good one.
When the German Emperor goes out
shooting, however, a keeper accompan-
les him, and when the game is reused,
sticks a kind of fork in the ground.
The Emperor then places his gun in
the rest, and handles the weapon pts.
toll fashion. For everything that is
shot a notch is made in the fork. and
when this is covered with marks a
new one is brought into use.
All these forks, the notches on which
are a prof of the Imperial hunters
skill. are carefully preserved IN the
royal sporting museum as a record.

British fleet was held in readiness to
destroy the Russian feet if the battle
of the Sea of Japan had gone in the
Russians favor is made by Admiral Ro-
~jestvrnsky in a letter published in the
Novoe Vremya, at St. Petersburg, with
The permission of the Russian minister
OF marine. Referring to the secrecy OF
Admiral Togo in regard to the dis
position of his forces, Rojestvensky de-
clares that, this was unknown even to
the admiral of the British fleet allied
with the Japanese, who concentrated his
forces at Weihaiwei in expectation of
receiving an order to annihilate the Rus-
sian fleet if this, the final object of
Great Britain, was beyond the power OF
the Japanese"
From Admiral Rojestvensky's account
of his tactics in the battle the readino
public becomes almost convinced that
the Russian commander oatmaneuyered
Admiral Togo at every point and was
himself the real victor. Roiestvensky
declares he knew Admiral Togo's exact
whereabouts two days before the battle,
made his dispositions accordingly, and
entered the fight with his eyes open.
The admiral only casually states in the
course of his letter that the minister

Mr.. Pettus, while he entered the
senatorial chamber at a later date thai
did his colleague, came at that per-
of life when a great number of zen
seem to think that the time for politi-
cal aspirations and honors has PISSED.
He is considered one of the wits of the
Senate. 1t is well remembered by a
great number of the senators how he
scathingly ridiculed the speech of a
senator during the notable debate on
the Philippine question. His remarks
were SO ridiculous and %laughable that
the hitherto decorous Senate convulsed
itself with laughter. The same day he
again caused the Senate to break out
in an uproar when he was seen to
slowly rise in his seat as though to
seek recognition from the presiding
officer. and just at that moment when
Senator Frye, the President pro TEN,
a about to signify that Senator Pet
tus was entitled to the floor, the Ala
bama senator slowly put his hand into
his pocket, pulled out a piece of black
tobacco bit a piece off in a very me-
thodical manner, and with that same
slow motion deposited the tobacco In
his pocket and sat down. Such incl
dents have been the favorite way OF
Senator Pettus's breaking IN Oh the

1t was Lieutenant Bates turn to
mount the guard. In spite of the early
hour the usual group of young people
had already gathered at the Colonel's
when the band came swinging down
the parade. The instruments glittered
in the bright morning sunlight and
every map in line unconsciously moved
lin unisol with the martial music.

strains and each feminine heart wished
secretly that one day she might marry

When the band had marched past

distance from the guard and began It's

duty" Helen Farnham said. "He takes
such a long time to mount the guard
and the band has loads of time to
play"
"Just think, he's going to the Philip
pines" Katherine Markham, a pretty
little blonde, protested. 1--WE were
just getting him so we'll trained, too.
Well, somebody else will have to con-
sent to mount slowly or we'll never
have more than two pieces in the morn
ing"
"Say, Margery," Helen added, What
do you think of the orders?"
Margery Keene looked up from her
embroidery rather nonchalantly. She

"Oh MOI" Katherine grimaced, and

Lieutenant Bates was only half way
down the line and the men were con-
scious of the closest scrutiny of their
guns. Each was examined with the
utmost care but only the young of
ficers and his friends owe on thep porch
knew that he was killing time in order
that the band could play the logger.
When the little ceremony was owe
the men were dismissed and to the
rollicking strains of a Sousa march the
musicians filed to their quarters.
Bates crossed the parade and joined
the group at the Colonies.
ITO think you are going way out to
the Philippines, Mr.. Bates" said Kath-
crime. "We only heard it this morning
and just imagine, you have to go to-
morrow"
you see, Miss Katherine, what 1t
means to be a soldier. I've never been
to the front and there's nothing to
keep me here so I think I'm pretty
lucky"

was telling her a story in which she
wasn't the least bit interested.
Margery PLAYED her little game we'll
but when Bates left with the other OF
flcers without as much as coming to
her to be told she was sorry he had
been ordered off, Margery was not only
annoyed but angry with herself for
caring.
Nobody in the merry little group
knew that two nights before Bates had
again been refused by Margery. No.
body knew so we'll as Margery herself
that he had made up his mind never to
ask her again. But that was all before
his orders came-before the prospect
of the great Pacific stretching itself be-
tween him and her had presented it.

change from the other night when he
seemed to think that one mo" was
sufficient, tossed his head in the air,
gave her a curt "Good night" and left,
Didn't every girl want to be told

most adorable creature in the world?'
Margery whispered to herself. She
had now made up her mind that she
would stick to her Mo- "if it killed
her." Furthermore, when he came to
say goodbye she would show him that
he was not the only soldier in the
world.
Lieutenant Bates was one of the

that probably here at last was an OPP
portunity for him to distinguish him

marred his enthusiasm and that was
Margery. Ifs" "buts' and girls! How

So all of that last day passed. In
the evening some of the young people

Margery banged the piano until her
fingers nearly dropped off. Three

But the hours wore away and when
the new day dawned Margery awaken

BuiH of DuIruSheS.

The first place of Christian worship
in Western Australia was unique in
two respects-the material of which it
was built, and also the several pur-
poses to which it was devoted. This
remarkable building was made at
Perth by soldiers shortly after their
first arrival in 1929, and was composed
almost entirely of bulrushes. In adj
dition to its use on Sundays for Divine
worship, it occasionally served during
the week as an amateur theatre, and
was utilized during the whole time as
a military barracks.

Havana.-While peace projects have
caused general suspension of revolu-
tlonary operations, no appreciable
progress towards anything like a sat-
isfactory understanding has been
made. The, liberal leaders insist that
1t is unjust to regard them as insur-
gents, and assert that they are mere
ly seeking for peace, at the same
time declaring that not only must the
terms of peace be better than hereto
fore talked of, but that there must be
some unquestionable guaranty that
the conditions will be carried out to
the letter. The moderates meanwhile
continue in waiting attitude.
The demands which come from the
insurgents themselves as the price of
cessation of rebellion are regarded
in the capital for the most part not to
be considered. These demands include
the restoration of deserters from the
rural guards to their former positions,
the reinstatement Of liberals who last
year were deposed from municipal Of
fees, the retention of their arms by
the insurgents, and other equally rad
ical propositions.
The liberals have not yet relin-
quished the hope that they may be
able to force the resignation of Presi-
dent Palma and all the high govern
ment officials. The succession of
Vice President Mendez Capote to the
presid ency is also discussed, liberals
seeming to think they could reach an
understanding with him that would be
satisfactory to all.
