at Otter Creek and Seal Harbor, with
her daughter, Mrs. Carrie McGown, re-
turning to her old home last fall. An
other daughter, Mrs. Maud Dewitt, OF

women. In large industries. and also
women employed in other lines of

are required to work as manv an s,x-

Venerate Hooded Cobra.

The hooded cobra, or Maya. still hax
his devotees in Bombay city, and from
Kashmir to Nepal in the Himalayan
region throughout the Deccan and
southern India, and on the west coast
in particular, this curious veneration
Of snake gods survives, says the Times
of India. An interesting account of
the worship is given in the latest an.
nuaI report of the archaeological de.
partment The usual form of Maya
worship is the vow taken by childless
wives to install snake stone if they
are blessed with offspring. Closely
allied with this idea is the worship
of trees, and pipal and margosa trees
planted together-"married," as the
saying goes-come in for a share OF
the devotion paid to the snake stones
set up in their shade. It is believed
says this account, that women will
bear children If they walk round the
married trees one hundred and eight
times every day for forty-five days
consecutively. Unfortunately no au.
thentic case is cited of the efficacy OF
this prescription, but the offerings
brought in gratitude by women to the
shrines may be taken as favorable evil
