AGGRESSIVE REPTILES.
King Cobras and Mambas Are the
Worst of the Snake Tribe.

The majority of snakes are not. as
most people suppose. aggressive in
their habits: but, like the British viper,
far more anxious to get out of the way
Of the human intruder than into it.
But there are few famous. or infa
nous. exceptions. and the mamba-
one of the largest of the cobras and
native Of Africa-is said to be the
most dangerous reptile IN the world.
1t will fly at anything and anybody;
goes out of its way TO pick quarrel
with every passerby and has even been
known to come down from tree
where it was resting, apparently fast
asleep. to try conclusions with a man
armed with a gun. The only snake
that at all approaches the manila in
ferocity is the great king cobra or
hamadryad OF the east, which is larger
than the mamba and generally quite as
ready TO interfere with any living crea-
ture that comes within its ken. 1t has
been known to chase man on horse
back, and so fast can II travel that 1t
is said none but IA swift footed animal
has any chance of escape.
The poison OF both these snakes is so
powerful that, as some one once stated
in an examination paper on reptiles,
'even a scientist when bitten by either
Of these ferocious creatures ceases to
be Interested in the matter after the
space of few minutes" Among the
Australian cobras, the pit yipers of
America and the great west African
vipers. there are certain species that
prefer the offensive to the defensive
method. and In most cases II is the ag-
gressive varieties that carry the most
poisonous fangs London Globe.

FROM ANGRY MOTHER

she thought her 15-year-old son Her
bert, had been unnecessarily whipped
at school Mrs. L. 7. Jetty, a washer
woman of this place visited the
school Wednesday with blood in her
eye"
Entering the private office of Prin-

if he were busy. Not just at present

er boys have been "thrashed' and as
rule all except the parents of the
