The recent discussion and general
opposition in Austria to coeducation
in the schols and colleges of the dual
monarchy has brought comparison to
the working Of this system of instruc-
tion in Russia
Khorol, a town near Kiev, carries
the banner for severe ordinances.
Here, as in many provincial towns,
boy pupils have been forbidden to go
walking with the girl students in the
town streets, but the Khorol board OF
education followed this ordinance up
with an order prohibiting the teach
ers also to be seen on the street in
company with women, on the ground
that they should furnish an example
of proper conduct to their pupils. At
a high school party held in Khorol
during the holidays the school author
tiles at midnight segregated the boy
pupils in a locked room, dismissed the
girls unescorted and released the
young men only when time enough
had elapsed for the young women to
reach their homes.

USE SNAKES TO KILL SNAKES
South America Has discovered an
Excellent Way TO Cope With the
Universal Pest.

In South America, where the snake
pest is very serious proposition.
they are now using snakes to catch
snakes.
Even in the most civilized parts OF
Brazil over 1000 persons are killed
annually by snake bite.
The mongoose, which proved so Ell
fective in Jamaica and elsewhere. Is
Of little use here. Necessity is the
mother of invention, and nature and
science together have at last discov.
cred something which It is hoped may
eventually exterminate the dreadful
pest
The discovery is nothing else than a
"benefcient" snake which is harmless
to man, and which kills and eats the
poisonous species.
The mussurana, as it is called. is
thick, muscular snake about four
feet long It is possessed OF an in-
satiable appetite for poisonous yipers,
and it can tell of the approach Of one
in the same way that pointer will
scent" game. When tackling its
prey, which is frequently considerably
bigger than itself, the good" snake
assumes a lethargic air as if it were
glutted with food and could not fight
Seeing this the bad snake Immediately
attacks.
This is just what the other wants;
for, being rendered by nature COM
pletely immune from the poison, It
seizes its enemy before it has had
time to recover from the charge, and
gives fatal bite at the base Of the
brain.

London, March Sir Frederick
George Banbury, unionist member of
the house of commons for the city Of
London, has a reputation as a wag
that today is proving embarrassing to
a measurable degree The suffragtsts
are so eager to reach him that they
would readily cease all their heckling
of cabinet ministers if they could only
find Sir Frederick, but the member for
the city Of London is in seclusion,
and he will not trust even his col
leagues in the house with a knowl-
edge Of his whereabouts. In the
meantime the women pursue the
speaker and the cabinet members to
their extreme discontinue, and Sir
Frederick continues in hiding.
Sir Frederick made the discovery
that to introduce clause into the
franchise reform bill, giving the votes
to women, would make it necessary
for the speaker of the house to rule
the bill out of order as going further
than was contemplated when it pass
ed its second reading. He did this,
and consequently the suffragists lost
the opportunity of testing the feeling
of the house on the question of
women voting. Their anger against
Sir Frederick rose in proportion as
the realization of their defeat sank
home, but by the time they began to
look for Sir Frederick he was gone.
So they turned their attention to the
members Of the cabinet who compared
to the member for the city of Lon
don, are quite innocent of responsib-
ility for the defeat Of their plans.
Sir Frederick Banbury has the re-
putation of being the most successful
humorist in the house Of commons.
Among other things, he moved last
year the amendment, and arranged
the trap. which resulted in the tenn
porary defeat Of the government on

Mahukona Wharf.
The legislature of 1911 had appro-
priated S14,400 for the construction
OF the wharf at Mahukona and had
specifically provided that extensions
of additions to the then wharf at that
point should be of concrete construc-
ton. Tne report goes on to say that
after a study of the conditions at
Mahukona, and on being informed
that sometimes the sea was so rough
the wharves there located were mum
dated and boats unable to make "a
landing, E. A. Southworth, civil en-
gineer I'M the public works depart
ment, prepared plans for a substan-
tial and strong wharf, that would be
permanent and resist the heavy seas.
This plan called for a steel rein
forced sea wall. on both the slip side
and the sea side. The cost of struc-
ture of reinforced steel concrete, says
the committee, at Mahukona would
have been much less than in some
other locality. by reason of the fact
that right at that point the steel was
to be had at a very low figure, as the
Hawaii Railway Company was re-
its system and had the rails
taken ND. laying at Mahukona, and
the saving on cost of material and
freight would have been considerable.
This plan was submitted to Marston
and disposed of in the fol-
owing manner, according to the evil
