Snakes Fond of Music.

Science has recently been studying
the question as to whether or not
snakes have really an appreciation Of
music. This applies particularly to
the cobra, which responds to the pip.
ing of a gourd instrument played by
the a Indian fakir with a rhythmic
movement suggesting a dance. The
conclusion seems to be that it an.
swers to the musical notes much in
h same way as a dog does-that is
to say, through a special or nervous
sympathy. When the whistles blow
at moor in the Zoo the wolves set up
a great bowling in concert. Whether
or not they enjoy this sort of music
is disputed, though probably they do.
for some dogs undoubtedly take pleas
ure in harmonious strains and will
run a considerable distance TO sit up
in front of a hand-organ and sing"
while other dogs unquestionably suf-
fer from certain kinds of music and
express their pain in lugubrious
howls.

Where did you study? With some
great master, am sure. Tell US al
about yourself. We are dying to know
and will sit at your feet with great
delight while you discourse"
Tryon Durham interrupted these
disquieting questions, by drawing his
watch from his pocket with apparent
hasty remembrance, and giving a well
| feigned exclamation of dismay.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Bowman; it is toe
bad to interrupt this delightful ave
ming" he a~pologiZed; but I'm afraid
: if Miss Remington feels hat she must
take the next train, we shall have to
make all possible speed. Miss Rem
ington, can you get your wraps on in
three minutes? Our carriage is prob
ably at the door now"
With a look of relief, yet keeping up
her part OF dismay over the lateness
of the hour, the girl sprang to her feet,
and hurried away to get her wraps, in
spite of her protesting hostess Mrs.
Bowman was held at bay with sweet
expressions of gratitude for the pleas
ant entertainment. The great black
picture hat was settled becomingly on
the small head, the black cloak thrown
over her gown, and the gloves fitted
on hurriedly to hide the fact that they
were too large.
and whom did you say you studied
WITH" asked the keen hostess, deter
mined to be able to tell how great a
guest she had h~arbored for the We
ming.
ooh, is Mr.. Durham calling me, Mrs.
Bowman? You will excuse me for
hurrying off, won't you? And it has
been so lovely of you to ask me-per-
fectly delightful to find friends this
way when l was a stranger"
She hurried toward the stairway and
down the broad steps, aid the hostess
had no choice but to follow her.
The other guests crowded out into
the hall to bid them good-by and to tell
the girl how much they had enjoyed
the music. Mrs. Blackwell insisted
upon kissing the smooth cheek of the
young musician, and whispered in
her ear: You play very nicely, my
dear. | should like to hear you again
some time" The kindness in her tone
almost brought IL rush OF tears to the
eyes of the weary, anxious girl.

MADE A PART OF ONES LIFE
Mans House, First Consisting Of Only
Four Walls. Rapidly Creates an
Atmosphere Of Its Own.

Houses are curious things. We take
a morsel of illimitable space and wall
it in and roof it over. Suddenly it
ceases to be part of Gods out of doors
and becomes an entity with an atmos-
phere of its own. We warm it with
u fires. we animate it with our af-
fections. We furnish it with such
things as seem good in our eyes. We
do this to get shelter for our bodies,
but we acquire as well an instrument
for u spirits that reacts on us in its
turn.
In other words, as we live our way
ilto a house, adapting it to our need,
the bricks and mortar, the paint and
plaster, cease to be inert matter and
become alive. Superficial sociologists
have tainted women with being more
anabofic or pfant-fike' than man, but l
count it her second glory. The plant is
an organism thai Slowly turns l~ifeless
into living inter- and this is the thing

MORE TROUBLE IN 4 GARDEN

An elderly gentleman walking

before : fg tree on which were two

went without the fruit coming to ma

Shortly after, he met his gardener,
who. assuring him the figs were quite
ripe. was requested to send them to
the summer house. where his master
was about to rest.
Picking the figs, the gardener sent his
little boy of seven with the basket. On

Trees Have Eyes and See.

A German Scientist is amazing
that nearly all the amazing things
come from German scientists-says
he has discovered that trees have
eyes and see Not only trees, but all
vegetable life: the grass. the orchid,
the onion, the ragweed and the Easter
lily.
The epidermic cells of the leaves,
according to this German discoverer,
are merely SO many convex lenses
which record visual Impressions much
as de the facets of an insects eye. He
has succeeded. by means of miscro-
scopy and photography, In actually re-
producing the images which ne has
found in the eyes" of trees. They do
not differ greatly from the images
formed in the ayes of human beings.

might give you the appearance of a
regular traveller, you know, and not a
runaway"
He tried to make her laugh about
it, but her face was deeply serious as
she looked up at him.
Il think this is the kindest and
most thoughtful thing you nave done
yet" she said. Il don't see how l can
ever, ever thank you!"
Don't try" be returned gaily.
There's your train being called. We'd
better go right out and make you COM
Portable. You are beginning to be very
tired"
She did not deny it, but rose to fol
low him, scanning the waiting room
with n quick, frightened look. An
o~bsequious porter at the gate seized
the suitcase and led them in state to
the Pullman.
The girl found herself established in
the little drawing room compartment,
n her eyes gave him thanks again.
She knew the secluSion n the oppor-
tunity to lock the compartment door
would give her relief from the con-
slant fear that an unwelcome face
might at any momen appear beside
her.
THE conductor on this train is an
old acquaintance of mine" he ex-
planned as that official came through
the car. Il have taken this trip with
him a number of times. Just sit down
a minute. am going to ask him to
look out for you and see that no one
annoys you"
The burly official looked grimly over
his glasses at the sweet face under the
big black hat, while Tryon Durham *
planned: She's a friend of mine. l
hope you'll be good to her" In an
swer, he nodded grim assent with a
smileless a~lacrity which was neverthe-
less satisfactory and comforting. Then
the young man walked through the
train to interview the porter and the
newsboy, and in every way to arrange
for a pleasant journey for one who
three hours before had been unknown
to him.
When he returned to her he found
the shades closely drawn and the girl
sitting in the sheltered corner of the
section, where she could not be seer
from the aisle, but where she could
watch in the mirror the approach of
anyone. She welcomed him with a
smile, but instantly urged him to leave
the train, lest he be carried away.
He laughed at her fears, and told
her there was plenty Of time. Even
after the train had given its prelimi-
nary shudder, ne fingered to tell her
that she must be sure to let him
know by telegraph if she needed any
further help; and at last swung him
self from the platform after the train
was in full motion.
