 Vegetation with broad leaves seems especially susceptible to arsenite of soda. The commercial grade may be obtained at about 25 cents a pound from some Of the wholesale chemists If large areas are to be treated, it can be made more cT1eaply by boiling one pound of white arsenic and two pounds Of sal soda in al gallon of wa ter until a stock solution is formed.

THE LADY AND THE COBRA.
With a Violin Recital the Effects Of
Which Were Magical.


An Englshwoman residing In India
one evening found TO her horror that a
huge cobra had coiled Itself about her
yeranda rails, near which she sat play
Ing the violin. She was too near the
snake to run with safety, so she con-
tinued playing while she gradually
edged away. At first her only idea
was to keep the creature thus engaged
while she escaped, but when she had
gained a safer distance and perhaps
fascinated by the unwonted sight a
strange inspiration seized her She
played air after air OF different charac
ter.
The effect was magical. That snake
behaved like an ardent, hot blooded
disciple Of Paganlni. Every variation
I'm the music. whether of volume or OF
tone, produced Instantly a correspond
ing change I'm the attitude Of the cobra.
II she played lively dance ii swayed
its body sideways In quick time and
yet in graceful curves. Once she struck
u number of false notes In rapid sue
cession on purpose. The cobra WINGED
and writhed In pain. as If suddenly
struck with whip.
Thus the creature behaved like mad
musician till the lady, getting tired OF
the sport, gradually moved herself far
ther and farther and then made a sud
den bolt into her room and banged the
door, leaving the cobra TO wander dis
consolate to its lair In the tields.-Lon-
