The Pine Trees Secret.

The pine tree lifted his proud head high,

The boisterous winds that high and low

They had climbed to the top OF the bleak

"Oh, ho!' they cried to the pine tree old.
I'VE can guess, we can guess what your
great arms hold!
They are empty nests, for away on wing
The nestlings have flown where the south
winds sing"
The pine tree sighed-he had grown so
From the old white owl with the blinking
eyes
The pine tree sighed. but he whispered
low
To the sunbeams merry that danced be-
low
A secret we, who are friends. may know
The winds went on with rollicking shout
They scattered the brown little leaves
about,
And they never knew nor do to this day
What the faithful pine kept hidden away
But the sunbeams merry. he welcomed
them all.

CAPTURING SNAKES.
How Serpent Hunters Of She Tropics
Secure Their Prey.

How Serpent Hunters of the Tropics
Secure Their Prey.
The capture of snakes is simple and
comparatively free from danger. says
the Chicago News. In the great
swamps of India they are caught in
the early morning. when they are stiff
from cold. The natives use nets for
the purpose or else press stick
against the back of the snakes back,
thus holding it fast until they can put
1t away safely.
Another method is to surround a
spot known to be full of snakes with
nets during the dry season and set the
underbrush on fire. The snakes rush
for safety in all directions and fall in
great numbers into the nets. This
method is often used to catch the big
gest species Of snakes. Hagenbeck
states that many specimens of such
monsters received by him from Cal
cutta bear marks Of burning.
The giant snakes Of Borneo fall a
prey to the native hunters after they
have gorged themselves to such an ex-
tent on food that they can scarcely
move at all Nets are then thrown
over them. and they are delivered to
Hagenbeck's agents.
Some snake hunters of India rely al
most entirely on their sense of smell
for ferreting out their victims. These
hunters set out in the cold Of the
morning, knowing, more or less, where
the holes are in which the snakes live.
By means of their keen sense of smell
they can tell whether a snake is at
home. They then dig it out and, as 1t
is half frozen still, succeed easily in
imprisoning it in their baskets.
