Real Sea Serpents,

In New Caledonia sea serpents are
frequently seen and sometimes cap
tured. They are curious creatures,
the head being very small and scarce
ly disttnguishabIe from the body aud
the tail being formed like an oar. In
length they are generally between
three and four feet In the jaw there
are tiny glands containing poison, but
as the mouth is very small It is diff
cult for them to bite, and the natives
handle them fearlessly. A European
traveller witnessed an experiment at
Eoumea which shows that under GER
tain conditions the sea serpent can do
deadly work A rat was caught In q
trap, and its tongue was grasped By
4 pair Of pinchers and placed in the
mouth Of a sea serpent, The serpent
Immediately bit it, and the rat died in
four minutes.

Death. Ancient and Modern.

The art Of the ancients would GER
tainly seem to show that their coucep-
ton Of death was q much more cheer
full one than that which has obtained
In later times. II was at one time
thought that the old Greeks and Egyp-
tians had no artistic symbol for death,
but this was q misconception. Death
was almost invariably represented By
them as the kinsman Of sleep. The
Greeks personi6ed it as Thanatos, ED
or brother Of Sleep. The Romans
sometimes depicted Death and Sleep
as twin children repOsing in the arms
OF Night. The skull and crossbOnes
and the skeleton as emblems OF death
do not appear to have become com
mon until comparatively late Christian
times, 1t has been suggested that the
terrible famines and pesttlences which
scourged Europe during the middle
ages were responsible for the fear or
horror with which the modern mind
Is usually accustomed to look upon
death.

Old lime EnaIish Elections.

In old time England each cOnsttu-
ency gave its representative in parlia-
ment a horse to carry him to West
minister and also paid his expenses on
the road. These expenses, together
with an allowance for each day spent
on duty at the house OF commons, gen.
orally at the rate OF 80 cents a day,
were refunded In one lump sum when
the member returned home at the end
Of the parliamentary year. Sir F. De-
laval totaled seven votes In an attempt
on Andover In the general election Of
1T6S. An item in his election agents
bill Is typical Of the reckoning he had
to pay: ITO being thrown out Of the
George inn, Andover. to my legs being
thereby broken. to sugeOn's bill and
loss of time and business. all in the
service Of Sir F. Delaval, E50O." Lord
LANDAU won Dungurvan in 1868. The
item "f547 whisky" caused him to
protest family. "Begorra," said his
election agent, 'ff ye want to squeeze
a pippin like that yen never do for
Dungarvan."

HER DEAREST WISH
TOTS HEART SET ON POSSES
SION OF A PONY.
And Though IL Wasn't a Very Elegant
Animal and the Carriage Was
Riekety, Little Girl Was De-
lighted.

IF I only had a pony" began the
little girl. Then she stopped. That
pony had been the subject Of her
dreams and her waking thought for
weeks. It had become so much Of an
aIl-absorbing subject that It had been
froWned upon in the family circle, but
suppression only made it more impOr-
tant.
II / only had a pony"
The little girl had planned it all
out. She had told father and mother
the plans. Father had looked troub-
led and mother had seemed sorry.
The little girl couldn't understand
this, for to every little girl a father al
ways has money. for he has means OF
earning 1t that little girls lack.
Some day." father had said, and
on this foundation the little girl had
built the dreams and the plans. II
was all arranged. There was a nice
shed to keep the pony In. and she
had gathered grass and put it In q
soap box in the stall In case the pony
should come.
She would drive to the once for
father every day OF the world, and
when mother wanted something from
the grocery In a hurry all she would
have to do would be to jump on the
pony or get into the little cart that
comes with all ponies and get It in
no time.
How the other little girls would
envy her as she drove past! Some
Of them she would let ride with her,
but some of them-no. they were
mean and shouldn't even come near
the pony.
Mother told father all these things
at night. and father would do sums IN
mental arithmetic in the dark and
postpone the solution to another time.
for all sums cannot be worked out
right away.
Then mother took a hand.
"John," she said, cant we get some
hind Of a pony for her? Anything
will do. She don't need a fancy pony
and cart or anything like that-just
something she can drive" Father
said he would see.
And few days later he drove home
behind a small and very tame appear
ing animal that might have been
called a horse by courtesy. The
buggy was old and rusty, but q coat
of paint would settle that and 1t
would look fine.
my pony!" said the little girl That
was all. She could say nothing more
for at least an hour, not even when
she was taken up to the buggy and al
! lowed to drive all by herself.
"It cost only $20," father told moth
er when they were together that
night, "and the buggy is about to fall
to pieces, but she will have just as
much fun out Of It."
You're a dear boy" said mother.

In particular, the late King Edward

everything that might tend to bring

wide employment Of any scientific de-
veIopment which might mitigate or,
haply, prevent the spread OF danger
GUS disease. He was saved from
typhoid fever death by the great Sir
William Jenner in 1872. In 1902 Sir

THE FIRST CLOCKS.
They Were Regarded With Awe, and
One at Milan Was Really
Wonder of Mechanism.

It was. we are told, In 1909 that the
first clock known to the world was
placed IN the tower of San Eustorgio,
In Milan.
The greatest astonishment and ad-
miration were manifested by crowds
who fiocked to see the timepiece. In
1874 a clock was installed In the pal
ace OF the mobiles at Padua. This was
wonder OF mechanism indeed, for
besides indicating the hours 1t showed
the course OF the sun, the revolutions
OF the planets, the various phases Of
the moon, the months and the fetes
Of the year,
The period OF the evolution from ths
clock to the watch was seventy-one
years-not so very long. all things con-
sidered-and the record of the first
watch Is 1880. 4 half century later
an alarm clock made its appearance.
This, we are told. was looked upon
by the people OF that age as sun In
strument prodigieux-"
The fortunate possesSor Of this clock
was Andrea Alciato, a councillor of
Milan. The chrOniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded q
bell at a stated hour. and at the same
time a little wax candle was lighted
automatically. How this was done we
are not told. but 1t must not be over
looked that until about seventy years
ago we had no means Of obtaining q
light other than the dnder box, SO
that the Milanese must have been CEN
turies ahead OF US In this respect.
Not much progress was made with
the watch until 1740. when the sec

Back In the Fold,

Family pride just about reaches its
limit with the Biddles OF Philadelphia,
said a man who halls from the burg OF
scrapple. ITO be a Biddle In Phila-
delphia is sort Of like being an arch
angel IN heaven-at least from the
point of view of the Biddles. One of
the women Of that numerous family
married a man who was quite her So
cial equal, but who was afflicted with
the somewhat commonplace name OF
we'll, say Robinson. They have
little girl, who is now about six years
old, and the child is never permitted
to lose sight Of the fact that her
mother was a BiddIe. In Sunday
school a couple of weeks ago her in
fantile mind was expected to grasp
the problem of salvation according to
the doctrine that we must be born
again. When she reached home she
ran to her mother, exclaiming: %,
mother, l have such good news for
you!'
what is it, dear? asked her
mother.

heaven, explained the little girl. you'll

delicacy to the care Of his wife, who
was travelling with him. But as the
postchaise was very slow and he
soon became very hungry, on the ad-
vice Of his wife both tasted OF the
sausage, which dwindled with every
mile.
Arriving at Paris, Heine did not
dare to send the remainder to the
physician, and yet he wished to keep
his promise. So be cut OF the thin.
