baby is pre-eminent in the lives of the
young married couple. But next to that
is the pleasure of selecting the furni-

that is being planned. All the joys of
the future lie before them. The vex-

them have no place in their thoughts
then. The great scheme of things is
uppermost in their minds. How did it
all happen? You never saw a young
married couple, or couple about to be

BIRD EATS SNAKES
The Secretary Likes a Live Rep

tacks His Victim.

new York.-Two creatures entirely
new to the eyes of the New York
public are the fine pair of secretary
birds, male and female, just acquired
by Director w. T. Hornaday for the
geological Garden. These stately,
long-legged bipeds, with ashy gray
plumage and tall feathers two feet
long, are the champion snake killers
Of the world. The secretary is really
a hawk, adapted especially for ground
hunting. The male stands four feet
high, the greater part Of this being
made up Of legs and neck.
The bird gets its odd name from
crest of long, dark plumes rising from
the back of the head, which gives him
fanciful resemblance to a clerk hav-
ing bunch of quill pens stuck behind
his ears. The naked skin of the face
is yellow. The fine gray eyes have
heavy long lashes. In South Africa
the birds are said to be of consider
able economic use to the community
as destroyer Of venomous pests, for
they kill and eat cobras, vipers and
other poisonous reptiles. All its food
must be alive, and as garter snakes
sell at ten cents each there Is likely
to be good market for youthful
snake hunters In The Bronx.
A garter snake was thrown some
distance from the male secretary bird
on the ground in the run. Unlike

the prey at once, but cautiously ap-

SAVED OLD LADY's HAIR

my mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling

keeping well out of danger. Sudden
ly, like a flash, the bird raised and
shot out one of his powerful feet,
with sharp talons, and struck the
snake fairly on the head. This was
quickly followed by another crushing
blow. which proved a knockout.
Another 3-foot snake given to the
bird proved more active than the first,
and showed a disposition to fight,
making several angry lunges at the
secretary, which lodged them in
prize ring style. In avoiding these
the bird put out its widespread foot
to protect the abdomen. The secre-
tary feinted and lodged for a minute
or more. watching for good opening.
Suddenly, up shot the heavy foot, and
a sledge hammer blow. surely aimed.
struck the snake on the head, stun
ming and putting the reptile out of
action. The talons were drawn to-
gether when the blow started,
Strengthened out while in the air, and
were brought together slightly at the
instant of impact with the snake, SO
that the victim received not only the
force of the blow, but the piercing Of
the sharp claws.
When the snake lay quiet after the
blows the bird eyed 1t carefully, for q
moment to see II II were quite harm
less. and then, lowering his head
slowly for bit he suddenly shot out
his beak like an arrow and transfixed
the snake just behind the head like
a sausage on a spit. After that the
reptile was eaten with as little cere-
mony as q chicken swallows q worm.
