The Worship Of Serpents.
The small town of Werda. In the
kingdom Of Dahomey. is celebrated for
its temple Of serpents." a long building
In which the priests keep upward of a
thousand serpents Of all sizes. which
they feed with the birds and frogs
brought to them as offerings by the
natives.
These serpents. many of them Of
enormous size. may be seen hanging
from the beams across the ceiling
with their heads pointing downward
and In all sorts of strange contortions
The priests make the small serpents go
through various evolutions by lightly
touching them with rod. but they do
not venture to touch the largest ones
some of which are large enough TO Ill
fold bullock in their coils
1t often happens that some OF these
serpents make their way out of the
temple into the town. and the priest.
have the greatest difficulty in coaxins
them back To kill a serpent intention
ally is a crime punished with death
and if European were to kill one the
authority of the king himself would
scarcely suffice to save his life ANY
one killing serpent unintentionally
must inform the priest of what has
occurred and go through the course Of
publication which takes place once ,
year.

Natfi. an Bedford Forrest was not only the greatest cavalry leader of the Confectionery, but after the civil war he led in the geconstruc- tion doings around Memphis and was the active chief of the ku kluX klan, the order of Secret Night Riders that scared the carpetbaggers and negroes into good behavior and restored pol cal supremacy to the whites. The famous Wizard of the Saddlen is showH in "The Clansman" just as he was in real life-tan. gray bearded, majestic of countenance. fiery-voiced, clad in a lieutena,nt : generals uniform. with ,chevoros sword and the cavalryman's ing lin gspurs. The appearance of the actor who so successfully inn personates Forrest is always the slgnas for applause, and the gem erals sonorous eloquence in behalf of the stricken south provokes al- most frenzied enthusiasm.
