snake.cnarmers Secret

How does the snake-charmer charm
asks a writer in the Popular Science
Monthly. That's one of the questions
we've always asked ourselves. And
now an English doctor tells US one
Of the secrets.
Take the case Of the cobra, for
instance. 1t is a very venomous snake,
yet the snake-charmer is not harmed
when bitten by one.
The secret lies in the fact that the
charmer "milks" the cobra before he
allows himself to be bitten. He makes
the cobra bite into piece of meat,
thereby expelling two thirds Of the
poison in its poison gland. When the
charmer allows the snake to bite him
Immediately thereafter, there is not
enough poison left in the gland to do
any harm.
What is the next step? The charmer
makes the snake bite a fowl while he
squeezes the remaining drops of
poison out Of the snakes gland; the
fowl dies, and the charmer wins the
confidence of his audience

Woman. Well, one day my aunt had
been to the neighboring town of Mick
lestane, five miles off, and on the way
back to Dumbiedykes she lost her
purse 1t had three sovereigns in it,
a great sum to my aunt. In her
trouble of mind she hurried to the
Wise Woman-a thing to make her
pious father turn in his grave. The
Wise -gazed into the All,
suppose, and told my aunt not to fret
herself, for she had had a vision Of
the purse and it lay somewhere on
the road between Micklestane and
Dumbiedykes.
Nov, Miss Browne, I'll take the
liberty of drawing moral from this
story to fit the present instance;
where on the road between Mickle-
stane and Dumbiedykes is the chest ?"
