“Music-Mad” Snakes Captured by Women At the mouth of the Ganges, sacred river of India, there is a large tract of marshy land called the Sunder bunds. More than half this tract ig unexplored, yet within its borders live a tribe of people who do nothing but catch snakes. They are purely nomadic, living in boats and plying their trade between the marshes and the bylanes of Calcutta where are situated the venom vendors. g :

Eighty to 85 per cent of the total tribal strength is said to consist of women who feel themselves as much { at home among the death-dealing reptiles as among human beings. They seem to possess immunity from the poison of cobra. and the krite allke, or even the spotted blacksnake that is found here in great numbers. | In Galcutta there are many places where one can obtain snake venom, yet it is perhaps significant that Italy is one of the largest buyers of this strange commodity. For what it is used, precisely, is not explained. More interesting however, .1s the manner in which the snakes are captured. PFirst these reptiles are music mad. The note of a reed pipe is one thing, they cannot resist and as it is being played they come a 8 near to the player as is possible. The piper walits until he feels that the music has got hold of the serpent, then he plays faster and faster until the particular, snake desired appears to be paralyzed. Then the piper calmly walks up, catches hold of the snake just under its head and thrusts it into a basket.— Grit.

Modern Fowls Mere Amateur Egg Layers The ostrich lays the biggest thimg in the egg line at the present age in the world’s history. Hard boiled, it weighs three pounds, and would make a good breakfast for a large family. The kiwi, a New Zealand bird, which itself weighs only about four pounds, lays an egg weighing 14 ounces. But the egg of the extinct aepyornis, which may be found in museums, is as large as 150 average hens’ eggs. It was a Madagascan bird that disappeared entirely some centuries ago. : Among volcanic sand in New England an explorer discovered a partially burnt egg that was even bigger. A derby hat would hardly serve as an egg cup for it. The bird that laid it was called the dinoris, and its helght is imagined to have been something likg 14 feet. :

The Modern Hostess She was preparing for an elaborate dinner party at which the guest of honor was to be a distinguished Japanese visitor to San Francisco. To get the desired effects she had called in an interior decorator, a son of Nippon, and ordered him to design a flower scheme for the table. “What kind would you like?” he asked. “Oh, anything so long as there:are plenty of cherry blossoms, whether you paint them or make them out of paper.” “Excuse me to the remark, lady, that cherry blossoms would never do, because this is not the cherry blossom time.” “Oh, nobody will notice that.” “You, madame, might not notice it, but what if your guests should do so? At least one of them will smile from the inside of his face, and that will make him sad and gpoil his dinner” “Oh, anything ‘you like as long as the guests that don’t know better will know that it is Japanese.”

Two Spinster Immortals

Maria Edgewerth is regarded as the inventor of the novel with a purpose, of which kind “Castle Rackrent,” which sent her name into Immediate fame in 1800, is a typical example Miss Edgeworth’s influence was enormous. Her success with her Irish novel had much to do with turning Sir Walter Scott to the writing of prose fiction. : ; Her society was courted by “everybody who was anybody.” Byron admired her, and Maeaulay was among her enthusiastic worshipers. There is no doubt she is worth reading today, if only for the naturalness and vivacity and character-revealing nature of her dialogue. In this respect she is comparable with Jane Austen, another of the spinster ilmmortaks.

Cartridges for Camels

Camels represent the most valuable possession of the people of Abyssinia because they provide means of transportation, without which life would be in jeopardy. In commerce camels are used many times as the equivalent of money. Only under extraordinary circumstance will & man dispose of his camel, as collectors of the zoos of the world have learned. But Doctor Heck found rifle cartridges were eagerly sought, and was able to secure Ssix dromedaries for the Berlin zoo by exchanging 15 cartridges per dromedary, a tmdeé& considered good.—Ohio State Jo : ’ L

Wemen Do the Hard Work The girls and younger women of Rapa do must of the labor in the taro fields, while the older women attend to the housekeeping. The exemption of the men from agricultural labor allows them more time for fishing, and as a result of their sea experience they are much seught by captains of salling vessels at Papeete. . The constant demand for Rapa men during the period of nearly a century bas led to a considerable preponderance of women in the island population.—Robert Cushman Murphy, in the National Geographic Magazine. 3 A AR ST IS Mr. and Mrs, R.
