Snake Worship.

Python worship or the worship of snake gods is still practiced in parts of the west coast of Africa. In Da- honey and Ashanti there are temples where pythons are kept to receive the adoration of the people. The snakes are not confined to the precincts of the temples. Small holes are left in the inclosing wall, through which they pass and sometimes make themselves very much at home in the houses of the people, When a stray snake is found word is sent to the temple, the priests come and with many apologies to his snakeship pick him up and car. " him back home.

The so called cold blooded animals tary from the warm blooded in the particular that their blood changes temperature in accordance with their surroundings. The temperature of a fish will be almost exactly the same as that of the water around it. possibly one or two degrees higher. A snakes temperature is higher in summer than in winter, the average being S2 de- grees. A birds averag ge temperature is 1O7. The average temperature of the mammals is 1O1 degrees.

man, who procured its printing as a
public document. 1t is list of COLI
sions and derailments where the em-
ployes had been on duty an excessive
number of hours and list of personal
injuries to employees due to having
been at work excessively long.
: These are railroad reports and not
the results of Investigations by the
commission, and they do not include
personal injuries that had no obvious
connection with the condition Of the
employe. The facts disclosed by this
tabulation are startling.
Eight railroad men were killed and
thirteen injured as the result Of acc-
dents caused by overwork. In one case
a man who had been on duty thirty.
two hours was sent out tagging and
went to sleep on the track. In nine
other cases in this list of personal in.
juries men had been at work continu-
ously for twenty hours or more.
In collisions and derailments due to
lack Of sleep or exceptional fatigue
thirty-five persons were killed and 147
injured. In one case the man had beeu
at work fortyeight hours. In nine cases
men had been at work twenty-four
hours or mOre-one was forty-seveu
and q half hours at work and another
was thirty eight-and in several other

NEW YORK.

Cross currents in trade and crop con
ditions prevent generalization. There has
been a further slight improvement in
crop condition. This has made for a
more optimistic feeling as to ultimate
yields and future trade in the sections
enjoying even small share of seasonable
weather, but the great majority of cities
and particularly those in the eastern half
OF the country complain of continued slow
retail trade and collections. On the other
hand the reports as to fall trade are quite
satisfactory, a reflection possibly of the
fact that retail stocks of heavy goods
were well cleaned up last winter. Crop
uncertainties and the fact that recorder
business this spring has been practically
absent in many lines, however, induce
conservatism as to future ordering and
there is less disposition to embark freely
in future commitments until the situa-
ton becomes clearer.

The Revolver,

The revolver is of dubious service In
war. Its only function there is as a
cavalry weapon. Indeed, 1t is an evo-
luton of the medieval purpose to pro
vide horse soldiers with tirearm. In
the cavalry the weapon Is effective only
up to fifty yards. 1t has no value for
hunting. The average man can do
more execution on birds and beasts
with slingshot The only purpose
which the revolver serves is TO Kill
another man. and even for that pur.
pose its usefulness is oyereStimated.-

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children we'll dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such u woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is displacement, inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.

Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
