FOR REALISM.
Robert Louis Stevenson's Injunction to
q Small Nephew at Play.

A story about Robert Louis Steven.
ton not generally known, according to
the New York Sun. is told by Mrs.
Btevenson's grandson, Austin Strong.
When Mr.. Strong was a little chap
Mr.. Stevenson liked to sit propped up
In bed TO watch him at play In the
next room. And often IL happened
that the bigger boy OF the two would
make suggestions for the make be-
Iieve games and insist that they be car
ried out too.
One day Austin had arranged some
chairs I'm row, playing that they
were ships, and he, standing on the
front, was the captain. For a long
time he proudly walked the deck Of
his vessel, encountered pirates and
weathered all kinds OF storms until he
felt the floor positively heave under
his feet.
Mr.. Stevenson looked on In perfect
silence, but complete absorption, no
doubt playing the whole thing much
the harder Of the two. Finally Austin
got tired Of his vessel, climbed off his
chair and began walking across the
room 10 some object which had al
tracted his Interest.
This was too much for his uncle
Still deep In the game, Mr. Stevenson
rose In his slckbed and shouted ex
cltedly at the recaIcltrant sea captain:

SERPENT OF AESCULAPIUS.
Worship Of Snakes Led to Adoption Of
the Mystical Symbol.

II has been pointed out by DIR. Bou-
din that the worship of the serpent
was so universal In antiquity that all
temples came 10 be known as "dra.
conia" (serpent houses).
However that may be, serpents were
kept In many OF the temples Of an
tiquity, notably In those Of Apollo,
whose son, Aesculapius, Is represented
In ancient statuary carrying a serpent
intwined round a staff or round his arm.
The serpent. indeed, came In time to
be the special mystical emblem or SYM
Dol Of the Aesculapian art.
The serpents Of the ancient Greek
temples were In all probability relics
Of That primitive serpent worship
which was at one time universal among
prehistoric peoples and has not died
out among many savage races at the
present day.
And "voodoo," or "obi," serpent wor-
ship Is still said 10 linger In the West
Indies among the descendants Of
slaves.
In Haiti especially, where negroes
were dumped down from Africa by the
old slave traders and were kept In re-
serve before being sold to masters I'm
the surrounding islands. voodoo has
defed Roman Catholic missionaries
and priests for ages. A French naval
officer who visited the court Of the
Haitian potentate Soulongue IN 1S49
described a voodoo ceremony where
cannibalistic and other orgies were in
dulged In.
1t is noticeable that the cock and
black goat which were solemnly eaten
on this occasion were both OF them
sacred to Aesculapius. Hence we may
infer that the Aesculapian cultus was
originally an innocent form OF voodoo
and at the same n primordial religion.

worship seems. indeed, to be hinted

The nomination Of Secretary Taft
for the presidency by the Repubi-
can convention at Chicago last week
has been received with a warmth,
thai falls somewhat short Of enthu-
siasm. His nomination was so gen
orally conceded that no ele,hent OF
surprise entered into it. The Re
publican candidate is looked upon
as the logical successor Of the pre-
sent administration, and If elected he
IS expected to act as Mr.. Roosevelts
political executor. In fact his cleo
ton would mean that the people de-
sire continuance Of the Roosevelt
ideas. Mr.. TAFT comes from a very
able and eminent Ohio family. His
father was a political figure Of ma.
tIonal dimensions and his brothers
have proved themselves to be men OF
more than average capacity. lust
how good a president the secretary
will make, if elected, is OF course a
matter of conjecture, but as lar as
character, ability and experience
goes, he seems remarkably well
equi ,)ped.

Far up In the mountains Of Ceylon

The bodies Of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part Is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur. So strong
are the webs that birds the size Of
larks are frequently caught therein,
and even the small but powerful scaly
lizard falls victim. A writer says
