scents danger she contracts the muscle
on the back of her neck, which i'm
mediately brings the scales to a YER
teal position. This opens slit
under the bottom jaw, and at the same
time loosens the abdominal skin, thus
forming a pouch. The younger ones
dart through the slit and into the
pouch, and this is what has led peo-
pie to think they take refuge in the
mother snakes stomach.
It requires careful and skilled dis
section to detect the pouch, because
the skin shrinks when a snake is
killed. When the poison gland is re-
moved it tightens the skin under the
neck, and the youngsters can't get
into the pouch. In the female snake,
between the pharynx and the gullet,
there is a peculiar, lid-like valve,
and anything passing this valve can't
possibly return.

Early English History.

The reason that the Norman con-
quest did not subjugate the English
is explained by the fact that flutes,
Angles, Saxons, Danes and Normans"
were all kindred in race and so they
united in one race; the Welsh, Irish
and Scots were Of the Celtic race. The
NormanS were not Frenchmen in the
beginning but pirates from Scandi-
navia, who had come to France and
had been given tract of land. They
adopted the French language and be-
came in time the most courteous and
noble people in Europe, but when they
won the battle of Hastings, they were
more nearly akin to the English Or
Anglo-Saxons than to the French, al
though they brought the French lam
guage to England, and many of their
words were incorporated into the lam
guage. Because of racial differences
the Welsh, Irish and Scotch did not
unite with the English as easily, but
the centuries have obliterated many
racial characteristics because Of many
intermarriages.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

Cat Took Nap in Limousine.

The cat that looked at a king was
only slightly more ambitious than
Hyde Park tabby that took possession
of a limousine standing by the curb,
remarks the Chicago Post. The cat,
bedraggled stray, was pussyfooting
through the rain of one of the recent
cold days, evidently in search OF a
comfortable place for a nap. 1t
passed by doorways and flivvers as
not up to its aristocratic demands,
then spied the limousine standing at
the curb and promptly decided to
move in.
Unfortunately for the cat, the doors
of the car were closed Tabby found
this out after a thorough inspection
that started at the left side running
board. included the top and then the
right side running board. Finally the
cat tried the front, but the windshield
was closed, too. Then tabby picked
out a spot on the hood that still re-
tanned some heat from the engine,
curled up and went to sleep.
Tabby held possession until the
owner appeared.

CHRISTMAS TREES WILL LAST
the Children Will Be De-
prived Of Joy.

Don't join any gloom group that may
be trying to form society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to Christmas trees,
advises a writer in the Kansas City
Star
The forests are there to be used, and
if, as we utilize the trees, we make it
possible by replanting for our children
and our childrens children to have
trees, there is no reason for not having
Christmas trees as we'll as all the lum-
Der we need.
That is the way the scientific for
ester, the man who grows trees like
the farmer grows wheat, looks at this
matter Of Christmas trees.
While there is still some regrettable
ruthless cutting of spruce and fir for
the Christmas tree market in northern
states, many Christmas trees are now
by-product of the forests. There are
small trees in every properly managed
woodlot that must be sacrificed so
that the others may have room to
grow. These make fine Christmas
trees.
Christmas trees are also being
raised in nurseries. Baby spruce and
fir trees are planted by man so that
the babies and children of man can
have Christmas trees in their nurs-
cries. And Christmas tree Is
usually between the ages of five and
ten years, just about the age of the
child who enjoys Christmas most. In
the future years, it is expected that
nearly all Of our Christmas trees will
be raised by nurserymen from the
forests.

Weeds.

What hidden virtue is in these
things that it is granted them to SOW
themselves with the wiAd. and to
grapple the earth with this immiti-
gable stubbornness, and to flourish in
spite of obstacles, and never TO suffer
blight beneath any sun or Shade, but
always to mock their enemies with
the same wicked luxuriance? 1t is
truly mystery and also symbol.
There is a sort of sacreahess about
them. Perhaps, If We could penetrate
natures secrets, we should And what
we call weeds are more essential to
the we'll being Of the world than the
most precious fruit or grain. This
may be doubted, however, for there
is an unmistakable analogy between
these wicked weeds and the bad hab-
it's and sinful propensities which have
overrun the moral world; and we
may as we'll imagine that there is
good in one as in the other.-Haw

Auditor Makes
Annual Report
r. P. CHASE SHOWS HOW STATE
MONEYS COME AND
GO.

Minnesota did the largest business
in it's history during the year just clos
ed.
For the twelve calendar months en-
ding December 81, 1921, according to
figures compiled by the State Auditor,
transactions involving a total of S102,-
387 ,474.20 were entered in the books
of the department.
Of this amount $50, 1897, 1854 repre-
scented receipts while the expenditures
totaled $51 1888, 747.26. The legal book
keeping period for the state is from
July to July, hence the excess of ex-
penditures.
From taxes of various kinds the
state treasury was enriched to the ex-
tent of $22, 744, 5000. Departmental
fees and other earnings contributed
the balance, SIS, 253, 1865. The larg
est source of revenue was from state
taxes amounting to $11 ,271 ,650.08 and
the second largest, the railroad gross
earnings tax. From this source more
than 100000 was realized. Anoth-
er large revenue producer was the sale
of motor licenses which is the principal
basis Of the good roads program inau-
gurated to pull Minnesota out of the
mud. More than $5,OOO,OOO was re-
ceived from the sale of auto tags.
While direct taxation is the chief
source of revenue of every common
wealth there are other lines of re-
venue and these are found in depart
mental fees and earnings of various
kinds. Minnesota Jared well in this
respect last year and to the credit of
those in charge it must be said that
the receipts in the majority of cases
were in excess of the expenditures.
The State Insurance department gave
it's check for over S125,000. The Dairy
and Food department was credited
with earnings of over $175,000, and
the State Game and Fish Commission
with a sum slightly under 100000.
Large earning factors were those of
hotel inspection with receipts of over
$4,000, Oil Inspection with receipts
of more than $4,000, and the Secre-
tary of State with fees from the
filing of articles of incorporation to-
falling $107,705. Royalties from iron
ore mined on state land exceeded ST.,
100000. Interest on state loans aided
materially, likewise the interest due
on the sale of state lands. The two
were responsible for a contribution of
more than 100000.
Although receipts are necessity
and their increase with the years
cause for rejoicing and an indication
of the states prosperity, it is the ex-
penditures that interest the average
tax payer. Some large items in dis
bursements were listed last year but
they were mostly in aid of some state
activity such as agriculture, good
roads and education. Over $1O,0DO,-
900 was expended for the latter. Next
came special aid to veterans of the
world war and in turn the construction
of good roads. Minnesotas financial
story however, is best told in the fol-
lowing tables covering the principal
items of receipts and expenditures for
the year just closed.
