How a Husband Tried to Cure His
Wife's Fear Of Pythons.
Concerning pythons, the following is
a true story: A young lady in England
for a long time resisted her lovers en-
treaties to go out to India with him as
his wife. She had a horror Of the wild
animals she believed she might en-
counter there, especially serpents. At
length, however, after he had issued a
sort Of ultimatum, she consented to ac-
company him. She did not. however,
leave her fears behind her and lived in
constant terror of some day meeting
what she so intensely feared. Her hus-
band did his best to laugh her fears
away, but without avail. Then he re-
solved to try more drastic means.
A huge python was killed in the
neighborhood Of his bungalow. With
out telling his wife anything about It,
he ordered the reptile to be brought
into the drawing room and coiled up
as If asleep on the hearth rug. Then
he went out and called his wife, telling
her to go into the drawing room and
that be would join her in a few min
utes. Soon after he heard a dreadful
scream. THAT viii cure her OF her
fear Of serpents," be smiled to himself
and purposely delayed his entry.
When at last he went into the drawing
room he saw his wife lying dead on
the floor, and coied around her was
another huge python, the mate to the
one that lay dead on the hearth rug

"And then" said the expert, there
was that case of the general store man
In Ohio. This mans store burned
down, and, because his stock was so
heavy, the company disputed his claim.
I remember one item In his stock list
1880 mourning hatbands. When
came to this item / thumped it with
my pencil and said to the storekeeper
severely:
"'LoOk here, this is unreasonable.
Why should you have had 1880
mourning hatbands in stock7 What
possibility was there that death would
create In a single small shop like yours
a demand for 1850 mourning hat
bandsr
'The storekeeper smiled at me in a
condescending way and replied:
~ didn't keep those hatbands for
men who grieved for the death OF rela-
tives or friends, but for men who went
into mourning for the grease on their
hats "-Bosts1 Globe

The Turret Battery.

Early in the nineteenth century, in
1912, Colonel John Stevens conceived
the idea Of the construction of an iron
plated vessel Of war with a saucer
shaped hull, propelled by screws 50 ar
ranged as to give a rotary motion to
the structure. The battery was to be
Of the heaviest ordnance Of the time
and the plating heavy enough to resist
the shot Of similar guns at short range.
The main purpose Of the craft was
harbor defense, and the plan Of action
was to moor the vessel by a chain
leading down through the bottom Of
the ship at it's center and to spin 1t
around this center, firing gun after gun
as it came in the line of fire, thus an
ticipating the later Timby turret, which
In turn was the germ Of the modern

actually built half a century later by
