Rsads Wrote Standing.

One peculiar fad with regard to
his writing Charles Reade shared
with other famous novelists-he
could not remain seated at q table,
but did his work standing at high
desk. This was characteristic also
of Victor Hugo, who wrote the
whole of "Les Miserables" stand
ing. Wilkie Collins, too, declared
that his thoughts flowed more free
ly when standing on his feet. In
direct contrast one recalls that

Horse Riding In Ancient Times.

Stirrups were unknown to the an
clients. Along the public roads there
were placed stones to enable the
horsemen to mount. Stirrups were
used to some extent in the fifth
century, but were not common even
so late as the twelfth. Horseshoe
ing is very ancient art. 1t is rep
resented on coin of Tarentum of
about $50 B. G. 1t is said that VIII

KING OF THE ASPS.
This Reptile, the Most Venomeus ct
Snakes, 10 Death ltsef.

The most Tenomous OF snakes IS
said to be The Echis carinata Of IN
Gia. Ii is about eighteen inches
long and of a gray color. The crca-
ture is death itself and carries in
its head the secret of DESTROYING life
with the concentrated agony Of all
the poiSons.
The EchiS carinata is tolerably
common in India, being found IN
nearly every part of the peninsula;
Fortunately, however, for man it
Il not. like the cobra. house fre-
quenting snake, for it's aggressive
habits would make it infinitely more
fatal to life than its dreaded rela-
tive.
This king of the asps does not
turn to escape from man, as the
cobra will, or fash into concealment,
like the koriat, but keeps the path
against its human assailant and, pit
ting it's own eighteen inches of
length against its enemy's bulk,
challenges and provokes conflict.
A stroke with whip will cut it
in two or clod of earth disable it.
But such is its malignity that it will
invite attack bv every device at its
command, stalking its own life on
the mere chance of its adversary
coming within the little circle OF its
power. At most the radius of this
circle is twelve inches. Within it at
any point lies certain death, and on
the bare hope of hand or foot tres
passing within its reach the Echis
carinata throws its body into a fig
IRE of eight coils. Then it attracts
attention by rubbing its loops to-
sether, which, from the roughness
# the scales, make a rustling, hiss
ing sound, erects its head in the cen
tar and awaits attack.
1t is said that no one, having once
encountered this terrible reptile,
can ever forget its horrifying aspect
when thus aroused, its eagerly ag-
gressive air, its restless coils, which,
In constant motion one over the 9TH

its fury.

of Defense Praised on All Sides.
The 99.page South Carolina Hand
book of the War which was issued
October 4 by the State Council of
Defense has been warmly welcomed
throughout the country. One South
Carolina war worker says it is the
best he has seen. The National Secu-
rity League of New York calls it an
admirable piece of work. A corre-
spondent from Maryland says, 1t is
admirably done and done with kin
ding and communicating dispatch. y
1T is a fine piece of work and makes
my blood tingle with every page"
writes a college presidentin Virginia

cles by world authorities on the war.
Part two is called The Voice of

twenty utterances by prominent
South Carolinians on the great war
issues and our States responsibility

ticles on this subject are Governor
