BURY RATHER ALIVE

From the Los Angeles Times.
1t would not seem very easy thing
to bury snake alive, but that is what
dogs do.
He was resting under a tree when he
noticed a commotion among some prai-
RE dogs near him. They would run up
to a certain spot, peep at something, and
then scanper back. Looking more closely
he saw Is to 20 dogs about rattlesnake,
which presently went into one of the
dogs holes.
No sooner had it disappeared than the
little fellows began to push in dirt, evil
IDENTIFY to fill up the hole. By the time
they had pretty well covered the en-
trance the snake stuck his head up
through the dirt, and every dog scam
pered off to safe distance, all the
time barking.
The snake crawled to another hole
about a rod distant and went in. Then
forward came the dogs again, and all
went to work to push up earth to the
hole. This time they succeeded, and
completely covered the entrance. This
done they proceeded to beat the earth
down, employing their noses for this
purpose. When they had rendered the
earth quite hard they went away. The
observer examined their work, and was
surprised to find that they had packed
the earth in solid with their noses, and
had sealed the snake inside.

MOTHER LOVE
rom the Pittsburg Post.

rom the flItSDurS EOSl.
So long as 90 women beg for the GUS
tody of one baby there need be no fear
that old-fashioned sentiments are going
to die of anaemia. The mother love that
finds its highest level in the care of it's
own individual treasure may be counted
upon to extend it's arms to any child
that needs it when deprived of its natu-
raj maternal guardianship. The rush OF
80 women in a western city to become
the foster-mother to one baby, argues
and proves it's own case-children de-
prived of their due by misfortune will
be protected while there are any women
alive.
Instincts that have been growing under
intensive cultivation for hundreds of
thousands of years are not going to be-
come atrophied because Of the artificial
fears of amateur alarmists. Volunteer
and unnecessary enthusiasts on social
improvements based upon rainbows in
Altruria are groundlessly depressed when
they waste tears upon children who will
be mothered into forgetfulness of mis-
fortune, and women they accuse of out
growing the maternal qualities.
The struggle of 80 women for one baby
, is rebuttal enough of the charges that
We have evolved into a different brand
Of men and women than our forbears in
whom the affectionate protection of child
hood was living principle. There need
be no worry over the social evolution
when 80 women almost fight for the privi-
lege of sacrificing themselves in the care
OF some other woman's baby.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
x VERY possibly the Poles with all
W their passionate aspirations for a
reborn nationality, may not well
come with the expected enthusiasm al
Turing promises Of a new kingdom of Po-
land after the war. The Teutonic ennpe-
rors do not venture to define it's boun-
daries; they could hardly be asked to do
SO, seeing that its existence depends upon
"a final victory for their arms" Should
they not retain that part of Russian
Poland now occupied by their armies
they would not have the power even IL
they had the will, to make good their
word Nor is it easy to believe that In
any case they would pass a self-denylns
ordinance and restore German and Aus
trian Poland to the inhabitants. The
truth is that crimes such as Frederick,
Catherine and Maria Theresa conspired
to commit are not easily undone. 1t may
be that in the readjustment OF the map OF
Europe after the war some means OF sat
isfying the deep-rooted patriotism OF the
Poles may be found. But kingdom
taken by force from Russia would be per-
petually menaced by that power AND
would menace in turn both Germany and
Austria, If they retained their own booty

in the side of the empire, and it's exas-
peration against Russian rule was intensi-
fled by efforts to suppress the Polish
language. But since the Russo-Japanese
war the movement for larger measure
of liberty has become stronger and
stronger. At the breaking out of the
present war the Russian government
made promises Of self-government which
have been already in part fulfilled. The

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF KISSING

From the Baltimore Sun.
A distinguished forum fighter recently
propounded a question which seems to us
OF the greatest psychological and path
ological interest-namely, why does girl
shut here eyes when a fellow kisses her?
Having but the most meager experience
in such matters, We were constrained, in
the pursuit of knowledge, to seek in
formation from others. A suffragette,
who we supposed knew everything and
would be quite disinterested, seemed to
be somewhat vexed at our polite inquiry,
and replied:
I'm sure / have not the slightest idea
unless the girl is ashamed of being such
a silly fool as to kiss the BRUTE
From a young wife came this curious
answer:
"She is thinking, oh, Lord. how have
been cheated!
Pursuing the Investigation further
among a number of young women who
presumably knew something of the sub
ject, we got such answers as these:
eff you have ever seen male mug
at close range-or ever looked in a mir
ror--you ought to understand why she
shuts her eyes,"
Perhaps for the same reason that men
like to be blindfolded before they are
shot, or have to face any other horrible
ordeal"
But one sweet young thing, made up
of loneliness alone, answered the ques-
ton with melting eye and rapt express
sion:
"Ah it's because she is drugged, intoxi-
Gated by the sweetness and joy of it.
Puzzled by this diversity Of female
opinion, we appealed to a somewhat
shockingly gay old blade Of our acquain-
lance as to why girls shut their eyes.
Answer is--they DON'T he replied.
