This is said to be a true snake
story; it is told by an Anglo-Indian.
In the next bungalow a little boy
daily had his bread and milk on the
veranda sitting in a child's high
chair. He was as merry as a cricket;
one heard him talking and growing
to himself, apparently, until one
morning, to my horror, saw him tap
ping the head of cobra gently with
his spoon, saying Robbery, Robbery
(naughty, naughty. The snake was
quietly drinking the milk out of the
bowl, paying no heed to the child's
play.
A sudden noise or movement on my
part and the cobra would instantly
have turned and bitten the boy. Pres
emily down slid the reptile away into
some bushes, and got the men to go
and kill it, The child cried bitterly,
and said the snake had come every
morning and helped him with his
breakfast

SIC Of centraI.AmerIoan states.

Very few people have correct i'm
preston of the size of Central Amer.
lea as whole, or Of its states, taken
separately, says a writer in the Re-
view of Reviews. California seems
like a large state. It extends no
miles along the Pacific and has an
extreme width of 375 miles. If
California were laid end for end on
Central America it would cover it
with the exception of Salvador, which
is just the size Of New Jersey and oc-
cupies little over 1000 square miles.
Stated in another way, If Central
America were lifted bodily and laid
down on our Atlantic coast it would
just hide all New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
In short, it has a combined area of
approximately 10000 square miles.
Individually, aside from Salvador, al
ready mentioned, the states could
be compared as follows: Honduras
to Pennsylvania, $4,000 square miles
Guatemala to Mississippi, $4,000; Mic.
aragua to New York, $4,000; Costa
RIGA to Vermont and New Hampshire,
Is, 900.

Smoke From the Sea.

One of the peculiar phenomena of
the arctic regions is sea smoke. -
the boiling kettle which rises from the
water when the temperature is Is de-
grees below zero.
At 40 degrees the snow and human
bodies emit this vapor, which
changes into tiny icicle particles
which fill the air and make a light
noise like the rustic of silk.
At 40 degrees tree trunks burst
with a loud report, rocks break up and
streams of smoking water flow from
great cracks in the earth's surface,
knives break in cutting butter and
lighted cigars go out by contact with
the ice upon the Observation-Disclosures
Record.

Be Not Afraid.

He has not learned the lesson of
his life who does not every day sur
mount a fear. If you have no faith
in a beneficent power above you, but
see only an adamantine fate coiling
its folds about nature and man, then
reflect that the best use of fate is to
teach US courage. II you have no con-
fidence in any foreign mind then be
brave because there is always one
good opinion which must always be
of Importance to you-namely, your
own.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The ever-pleasing musical op-
eretta Toyland will be presented
at the opera house Wednesday,
Sept. IL. by one of the ablest
casts of comedians and singers
now en- tour. William C. Cush-
man, the eminent caricature and
singing comedian, handles the
leading role as "Fritzie Heine,
Papa's Boy" and will keep the
audience in an uproar from the
rise to fall of curtain. Mr.. Cush-
man enjoys worldwide repu-
tation and has been the princi-
pal fun-maker in a number of
the largest musical productions
that have toured the country.
He is supported by a large and
very able cast of talent; a beau
tiful chorus with sparkling and
gorgeous wardrobe. They will
present eleven catchy and up-to-
date songs and dances, prepared
especially for this company.
This feature alone is far out of
the ordinary and above the ma
jority of travelling musical or
CARNATIONS. A glance at the
many excellent press reports
along the route is sufficient evil
dence of the merits of Toyland
and the entertainment given.
