The Serpent's Venom.

A physician while talking with q
group of friends remarked: 1T Is com
mon to hear people speak about poi
sonous serpeuts. Serpents are never
poisonous; they are venomous. a
poison cannot be taken internally with
out bad effects; Il venom can. VenOms
to be effective have to be injected d.
rectly into the circulation. and this is
the manner in which the snake kills.
Their venom taken internally is in

FATAL RlDlCULE.
Youths Of Ancient Alexandria Paid For
Their Caustic Wit.

thST OahSNiC WIZ
In ancient days the impudent wit Of
the young Greco Egyptian dandy was
proverbial, says Arthur T. 2. Bronze
Weigall In The Life and Times Of
Cleopatra" That was especially true
in Alexandria, whose people were char
acterized by the Emperor Hadrian as
light, waverlng. seditious, vain and
sn.tcful. although as a body wealthy
and prosperous"
No sooner did a statesman assume
office or king come TO the throne than
the wags of the city gave him some
scurrilous nickname that stuck to him
throughout the remainder of his life.
Thus Ptolemy TX. was called The
BlOated." Ptolemy X. THE Vetch" and
Ptolemy XIII. The Piper" Seleucus
they named picked Fish Peddler."
and in later times Vespasian was named
"Scullion'
When King Herod Agrippa passed
through the city on his way to his in
secure throne these young Alexan-
drians dressed up an unfortunate mad
man whom they had found In the
streets, put paper crown upon his
head and a reed in his hand and led
him through the town, hailing him as
king of the Jews and that in spite of
the fact that Agrippa was the close
friend of Caligula, their emperor.
Against Vespaslan they told. with de
light, the story of how he had pestered
one of his friends for the payment OF
tri1ing loan of oboli, and some one
made up song In which that fact was
recorded
They ridiculed Caracalla for dressing
himself like Alexander the Great, al
though his stature was below the aver
age, but in that case they had not reck.
oned with their man. His frightful re-
venge upon them was the almost total
determination of all the well to do
young men in the city, whom he col
lected together under a false pretense
and then butchered in cold blood.

a guard was placed about the Tur
kish legation and Sagin Bey, the Otto
man minister, did not appear in pub
lie as usual but kept close to his
quarters.
Some Of the correspondents in
Athens take the optimistic view that
the Intervention of Greece is already
settled and that the crisis now con
fronting the country was advised
simply to make it easier for the king
to decide against Germany, which it
is said he was loath at first to do be-
cause of the fact that his wife is a
sister of the kaiser and because he
had military training in Germany
and has close relations with that
country.
Other correspondents think the
deadlock between the king and the
Venizelos party is irreconcilable and
that the situation will grow worse
with the possibility that eventually
the people will take matters into their
own hands, compel the king to heed
the apparently popular wish for war
and turn over the control of the gov
eminent to the former premier.
Apparently King Constantine is de,
termined to keep Greece neutral,
while VenizelOs and his large follow
ing, having openly declared in favor
of the intervention on the side of the
allies, are lending every effort to
bring about their purposes.

Government Would Have Built Yes.
sells, Says Secretary McAdoo.

SelS, says secretary McAdoo.
Washington, March 9.-Secretary of
the Treasury McAdOo issued state
ment denying unequivocally the
charge MADE by Senator Lodge that
the administration originally had in.
tended to purchase informed German
ships should the ship purchase bill
become law. Referring to the Lodge
statement MIR. McAdoo said:
The shipping bill never did have
in view the purchase of the interned
German ships or any specific ships. 3"
The statement then launches Off
into rather sharply worded attack
their alleged inconsistency in voting
against the ship bill out of fear that
the president would purchase bellig
erent ships whereas, he points out,
they had voted for the amendment to
the ship registry laws permitting the
purchase of beliigerent ships by
American shipowners.
Mr.. McAdOo asserts that the only
reason why the president refused to
accept an amendment of the ship bill
prohibiting the purchase of informed
ships was that such a provision would
have meant the surrender of vital
American right"
THE purpose OF the BILL says the
statement, was to give the govern
ment authority to buy or build any
kind of suitable ships for the purposes
of American trade and commerce. Had
the bill passed the president would
not have sanctioned the purchase of
any ship that would have caused COM
plications with any power. This as
surance was given to every senator
who made inquiry and was conveyed
to the senators il the chamber as
coming from the president himself"
