A Smile Counta.

Every one likes to see a smiling
face, and to smile becomingly one
must cultivate a cheerful and sympa-
thetic condition of mind. The face
wreathed in smiles is like perpetual
sunshine in a house. 1t Is irresistible,
and conquers all hearts.
A smiling mouth loses half Its
charm II the eyes do not correspond;
for the eyes are the windows Of the
soul, and the smile that lies only
about the lips soon dies away, leaving
an Indifferent spirit to survey and
chill the world.
Cultivate the art Of smiling, not
with your lips, but with your eyes.
Every one a have laughing eyes.
They are not a matter of inheritance,
nor can they be acquired with the aid
of the masseuse and the professional
beauty specialist.
Love is the great transformer. The
sternest features may be softened, the
hardest natures be humanized, by
love.

The speaker, Miss Winnie NJ, says
Robert Haven Shaufier, in Success

charming figure, light, curly hair and
extraordinary flashing blue eyes. She
was the only child Of a millionaire
and barely twenty-three.
"Of course I'd like him older" she
continued. About fifteen years older
would do. The elderly ones a give

The average income demanded by

married life, is $1,000 a year and ex-
cellent prospects. Besides that, Is a

IN TROPICAL LAND
DELIGHT OF TRAVEL THROUGH
BOLIVIAN FORESTS.
Deadly Reptiles and Fierce Wild
Beasts In Profuslon-Myrlads Of
Insects That Cause the Most
Intense Suffering.

There are big snakes in the tremen-
dous tropical forests Of eastern Bolivia
and. concerning one Of them Mai. 7.
II. Fawcett writes in the Geographical
Journal: 1T was in this river (the
Abuna) that we killed a huge anacon-
da, whose dimensions have, l observe,
aroused skepticism In some quarters.
II was coiled around a trunk and part
ly out of the water. The Indians were
most anxious that we should not shoot
as these reptiles are said to attack
small boats If irritated. 1t measured
approximately As feet out of the wa
ter. and we estimated another II feet
in-far too colossal a reptil to ski
even could we have carried or pre-
served such a thing, or the Indians
had been willing to operate. That 1t
was an uncommon size is probable
that 1t is exc ptional, | doubt; for tht
tracks of these reptiles from the
swamps, whence they emerge by night,
suggest a p~rodigious size. The Bra
lillian boundary commission In Corum-
ba told me of one killed near that
town measuring So feet"
There are other creatures than ana
condas in those forests, however, the
major writes again: The jaguar is
common enough, particularly in cattle
districts. lie is usually cowardly, but
In places is a man-eater. There are
two varieties, mi the size of a big
leopard, the other somewhat larger
than a Bengal tiger. In the cattle dis
tricts of Mojos and the Paraguay, 1t is
a common sport among the gauchos to
lasso these beasts. The black panther
is, however, universally dreaded. He
is rare and I have seen only n skin.
The anaconda is ubiquitous and haunts
rivers, swamps and lagoons. 1t moves
by night and has a weird cry. The
rattlesnake, or ~cascabella, and other
species of poisonous snakes are about
as abundant as such reptiles are In In
dia, but are rarely met with in the
dry season. Insects are legion. Mos
q~uitoes, of course; ~roca-roca, a mi
croscopic fly which at times makes OBJ
servatlon work by night almost impos
sible; marigwis, or the Portuguese
plum, which in the dry season attack
in thousands; wasps and bees.
Bees do not suggest any serious dis
comfort. Yet in places one is covered

TALE OF YACHTING CRUISE
| How a Hostess Arranged a Breakdown
and Got Rid Of Her Bored
Guests.

A few seasons back a well-known
hostess chartered a splendid yacht for
August and invited a large number OF
her friends for a three-week cruise. At
6rst all went we'll, though the party
was not specially we'll assorted; but
after a few days they began to evince
signs Of being somewhat bored with
each others company.
The hostess marked these signs OF
lncipient boredom, which became more
plainly evident each day, and at last In
despair she took counsel with n Of
her guests, an old and experienced
yachtsman.
what on earth shall I do to amuse
these people?" she asked.
The yachtsman looked at the serene
sky and calm, blue water, and shook
his head doubtfully.
"a storm would enliven them up q
BIT" he said, but the weather looks
quite settled. There is only one thing
10 be done. You must arrange a break.
down, the engineer will manage that
al right for you. He has probably
often done so before. Then you must
make for the nearest port for repairs
and let your guests have a run ashore
Eome Of them, l expect, will find an
excuse for bidding you good-by ana
those who remain with you will gel
along all right together"
The hostess took her guests advice
and arrived at Toulon a day later
where nigh twenty Of her guests bic
her good-by.-M. A. P.

NEW USE FOUND FOR SNAKES
Farmer In Ohio Discovers Them
Clearing the Potato Bugs From
His Patch.

Farmers in various sections Of the
country have for a number Of years
declared snakes that are non-poison'
GUS are very valuable to the farmers.
They say the reptiles are very good at
catching field mice, rats and even he
risky ground squirrels that are so
very destructive to fields Of newly
planted grain.
But the latest use for the ugly rep
tiles has Just been discovered In Har-
rison county, Ohio, a few miles east
of the historic town Of Cadiz, where
Charles Albright, who is farming the
lands Of Samuel X. Mclaughlin, found
a garter snake eating potato bugs.
Albright was out in the field de-
stroying the bugs, which are quite
plentiful, and coming upon a snake
coiled up in a potato plant, he secured
a club and killed It. In a few mo-
ments he discovered the top Of an
other potato plant swaying back and
forth, and looking closely, discovered
another snake of the same variety
coiled up in the branches Of the
thrifty plant.
He was interested to know why
these reptiles should be occupying
such a strange position, and after
watching for a short time he saw the
snake pick off and devour dozens OF
the troublesome potato bugs. He did
not kill the reptile, and he says he will
not allow n of these snakes to be
harmed on the land he has charge Of,
for he thinks they have become very
useful

Well, strange as It may seem, there
