At a marriage at Blackpool, the bride, with the consent of the bridgegroom, omitted the undertaking to obey him. The experiment is certainly worth trying. Wives won't obey when they promise to. Perhaps they will when they don't promise to though it may prove necessary . to make them promise not to. Punch.

IXc tn x i icvoa y yj Seats Resrrvcd Venomous Sea Snakes. Sea snakes are very plentiful in the south Pacific. They are widely distributed, stray individuals having !en secured on tho coast of New Zealand. When swimming close to the surface they exactly resemble an ordinary snake, except that the head is alway3 below water. At night ttey come ashore and lie among the rocks. They feed on fish and although their small double fangs appear harmless they are reported to be very venomous. Origin of Oxygen. Lord Kelvin once showed that all the oxygen in the atmosphere probably came from the action of sunlight on plants. When the earth was a globe of hot liquid It contained no vegetable fuel, and probably no free oxygen. But as it cooled off plants ap peared on its surface and these began to evolve oxygen through the medium of the sunbeams. Upon the oxygen thus derived we depend for the maintenance of life by breathing. Service the Real Coin. "Service Is th.e coin in which humanity's greatest debts are paid.
