Contrary to general belief, the py- thon or boa constrictor rarely attacks people and is looked upon very differ- ently by the people from the hama- dryad and cobra. The python will take up his abode in a neighborhood and will not disturb anything except the henroosts. These he disturbs very much, as he has a great fondness for chickens; also for a stray dog or small goat. I know of one case, how- ever, In a floating house where a py- thon attacked a woman and, contrary to thé preconceived idea, did not crush her In his folds, but attempted to swallow her, commencing with one of her feet. When she was rescued her foot and ankle were’ badly lacerated by the snake’s teeth. The Chinese kill the python to make medicine from the llver, which has a high repute among them. They also use the dried skin for medicine. Any Chinese drug shop in Slam will have a number of python skins for sale.—Medical Journal. Succeeded. ‘“No, sir,” sald the stern parent, “I cagnot give my consent—at least not now. Before I will think of confiding my daughter to your care you must succeed in doing something.” “Oh, I've done that. I succeeded in kissing her last night after she had as- sured me that I never could until you had given your approval.” Expensive. “No; I've declded mever to accept frlendly advice any more.” “Why not? It doesn’t cost you any- thing.” ““Well, I've found out that it almost invariably costs you your friends.”— An Amateur Conjurer. During a little pedestrian trip a gen- tleman came unexpectedly upon a country race course and on one por- tion of the ground found a thimblerig establishment in full work. Notwith- standing the remonstrance of his com- panion, the gentleman, who was a bit of a madcap, insisted on watching the game. “Now, would the gent like to wager a crown he could find the pea?’ re- marked the expert. “Yes,” was the reply. The money was on both sides depos- ited, and the pedestrian, lifting up the thimble, pointed out the required pea and took the stakes. A second bet, “double or quits,” end- ed, to the surprise of the expert, in the same result. Then a third wager, “a pound or nothing,” steadled the nerves of the loser, and the trick was accomplished with great .caution. The gentleman lifted up the thimble and showed the pea, at the same time pocketing the stakes. “S'help me,” ete., “I didn’t put it there!” exclaimed the bewildered art- ist. “No, but I always carry my own pea,” rejoined the man who had come out right as he went on his way with the spoils of war.—London Tit-Bits. In Modern Egypt. Douglas Sloden’s book on Egypt contains some curious anecdotes, For instance: “My doctor was called to see an Egyptian who was in a very low state. ‘What is the matter? he asked. ‘I think it is only depression. I have been a fool and lost a law case. I would not backsheesh the other man’s lawyer, and he backsheeshed mine. Later on when another Egyptian told my friend that he had won a law case my friend said, ‘I suppose you back- sheeshed the other man’s lawyer? The Egyptian gave a beautiful smile and said, ‘How did you know? ” And again: “I was at Luxor when they were recruiting for the army. If a young man was found to be phys- ically fit his relations were plunged in grief. Professional mourners were hired to squat outside the police sta- tion where the recruiting took place, yelling and weeping. If, on the other hand, he was rejected as undersized or a weakling or tainted with a loath- some disease, his relations and friene flew to him rejoicing and kissed him and hung on his neck.” “Goes” of Whisky. Forty “goes” of whisky had been consumed by the licensed victualer, and still he was sober—at least so he told the city coroner. “Goes” is a com- mon term Iin this connection, but it lacks the full appropriateness to the situation of its Scottish equivalent in the story of another big drink told by Dean Ramsay. It was at a party near Arbroath, held to celebrate the recon- ciliation of two farmers who had long been enemies. When the party at last broke up, at 2 morning hour, the pe- nurious lady of the house, who had not been able to sleep a wink for anxiety, called over the stairs to the servant: “How many bottles of whisky have they used, Betty?” “I dinna ken, mem,” was the answer, “but they’ve druncken six gang o’ wa- ter.” To the poor girl, who had to “gang” to the well for the qualifying fluid, these were ‘“goes” indeed.—London Chronicle. Expert Figuring. A well known actor tells a story of a ne’er-do-well in a little New Eng- land town where he has often spent his summers. “I was walking down the main street one day,” said he, “when I saw old Silas grinning from ear to ear. I hardly thought that he was that glad to see me. So after speaking to him I said: ‘Why the smile that won’t come off, Silas? What has happened to make you so happy this morning? ‘I've been a-gittin’ married this mornin’, was the unexpected re- ply. ‘Married! You? I exclaimed. ‘Why, Silas, what on earth have you done that for? You know you can't even support yourself as it is’ ‘Waal,’ sald Silas, ‘you see, it's this way: I ken purty near support myself, an’ I kind of figured out that she could fin- ish up the job.' "—Argonaut. A Sensible Person, An old Scottish lady during her last fllness was assiduously attended by a physician, to whom she invariably gave a guinea when he came to see her. He told the friends with whom she lived that her death would proba- bly be very sudden, and one day when she seemed to have become uncon- sclous the doctor was hastily sent for. On his arrival he found that his pa- tlent had ceased to exist, and, taking hold of her right hand, which was closed, but not rigid, he calmly ex- tracted from it the customary fee, re- marking as he did so to the attendant friends, “Sensible to the last!” Eyes Only For He: Martha—You don’t mean to say you have accepted that Mr. Spooner? Why, he is so awkward, you know! I saw him holding an umbrella over you the other day, and all the water it caugnt he allowed to drain right on to you. Nancy — What better proof could I have that he is in love with me? He badn’t the least idea that it was rain- ing, the dear man!—Boston Transcript. Not Surprised. Mrs. Gramercy—She must have been surprised when her husband gave her such an expensive present. Mrs. Park —Not surprised, my dear, but suspi- clous. You may try to do many a day's worry, but you can do only one day’s work at a time. A Famous Year. It is contended that the year 1809 gave more celebrities and persons of genius to the world than any other year of the nineteenth century. Among those who were born in that memora- ble year were Abraham Lincoln, Edgar Allan Poe, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Willlam Ewart Gladstone, Charles Dar- win, Lord Houghton, Alfred Tennyson, Edward Fitzgerald, Professor Blackle, Mary Cowden Clarke and Felix Men- delssohn. Hxchange. Orlgin of Old Glory. ™" "'~ In the reminiscences of Lord Ronpald Gower 18 found a story of the origin of the stars and stripes. The “star spangled banner” of the American republic had its-origin from an old brass on the floor of an anclent church in Northamptonshire, The brass covers the tomb of one Robert Wash- Ington and.is dated 1622. On it ap- pears the Washington coat of arms, consisting of three stars, with bars or stripes beneath them. On the first day of the new year, 1776, the thirteen united colonies raised a standard at ‘Washington’s headquarters, This introduced the msripes of the present, but retained the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew on a blue ground in the corner.- In 1777 the crosses were replaced by stars, as the Declaration of Independence rendered the retention of the English element unnecessary and inconvenient. In thus adopting the arms of his ancestors as his own distinctive badge Washington no doubt intended the flag merely as a private signal for his own personal. fol- lowing, but it was at once adopted as a national emblem. Probably there is not another case in the world’s history in which the private arms of an ob- scure family have attained such world- wide eminence and repute. & The Bank Could Stand It. A western lawyer tells of a remark- able instance of the convincing power of feminine logic as evidenced by an occurrence which he once witnessed while standing on the edge of a crowd that was besieging the doors of a bank supposed to be on the point of sus- pending payment. A conversation between a rosy cheek- ed Irishwoman and her husband, who were near the lawyer, at once attract- ed his attention. “Mary,” sald the man, “we must push up, so ye can dhraw your money at onct!” “But I don’t want to draw it out, Roger,” replied Mary placidly. “Don’t ye know, Mary,” persisted the husband, “that they’ll lose your mon- ey for ye if ye don’t hurry t’ dhraw it out?” “An’ shure, Roger,” retorted Mary, “ain’t they better able to lose it than we are?” Roger was stunned by this unan- swerable logic, and after a few more words the two withdrew. Fortunate- ly the bank survived its difficulties, and no depositor lost a cent.—Harper’s. A Purse For the Bride. Some brides may be inclined to re- gret that the old marriage custom of the dow purse has fallen into disuse. It was the custom of the bridegroom to fill a purse with a goodly sum of money and present it to the bride on the wedding day as the price of the purchase of her person. It sounds like slavery, like the buying of goods and chattels, yet the bride had a nice lit- tle sum of money for her own use. Some of the oldest inhabitants of Cumberland may remember a similar custom In that county. The bride- groom provided himself with a num- ber of gold and silver pieces, and at the words “with all my worldly goods I thee endow” he handed the clergy- man his fee and poured the other coins into a handkerchief held out for that purpose by the bride. In other places, again, the bride had the right to ask her husband for a gift of money or property on the day after the wed- ding, and he was bound in honor to grant the request.—London Answers. Sixty ds of Bananas. To most persons in the temperate zones a banana is a banana. But the truth 1s that there are over sixty known varieties of the fruit, with as great or greater variation in character as in the different kinds of apples. ‘Hawail is said to have something over forty distinct varieties of the fruit, most of which have been introduced by the whites. Some of these are of extremely delicate and delicious flavor, while other kinds are used, if at all, only when cooked in various ways. There is scarcely a city house lot or country “kuleana” or homestead which does not have 2 clump or two of ba- nanas, which grow with practically no care, new plants or suckers shooting up to replace the ones which have fruited and been removed.—Los An- geles Times. 5 The Bee’s Market Basket. Every bee carries his market basket around his hind legs. Any one exam- ining the body of the bee through a microscope will observe that on the hind legs of the creature there is a fringe of stiff hairs on the surface, the hairs approaching each other at the tips, 80 as to form a sort of cage. This is the bee’s basket, and into it after a successful journey he will cram enough pollen to last him for two or three days. Sleight of Hand. Hyker — I attended a successful sleight of hand performance last night. Pyker—So? Hyker—Yes. I lent a con- Jurer a counterfeit dollar, and he gave me back a good one.—Exchange. - Trying to Explain. Howell-What did you mean by say- ing that I would never set the world on fire? Powell-I meant that you were too much of a gentleman to do it—Exchange. First, Forgive. ‘When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any, that your Father also-which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.—St. Mark x1, 25. In friendship we see only those faults which may be prejudicial to our friends. In love we see no faults but those by which we suffer ourselves.— De la Bruyere. Greeley’s Writing. During the early part of the nine- teenth century the bad writing of great mea became almost a byword. In fact, poor writing was considered by some people as almost a sign of genius. Horace Greeley was such a.poor writ- er that his correspondents were some- times obliged to guess at his meaning. It 1s related that a reporter op the New York Tribune who recelved a letter from Greeley discharging him present- od it as a letter of recommendation to the editor of another paper. 7 " An Angry Elephant. A pentinel fn the menagerie at Parls has had a curious experience with one of the largest elephants. The sentinel 'Was very consclentious and always re- quested the spectators not to give the animals anything to eat, which seemed to displease the elephant in question to such an extent that he several times sprinkled the sentry’s head with water from his trunk. One day a bystander offered this particular elephant a large cake. - The sentinel interfered, as usual, and the elephant promptly dis- charged in his face a violent stream of water. A general laugh ensued, but the sentinel, having calmly wiped his face, stood on one side and continued as watchful as before. Soon after- ward he found it necessary to repeat his ‘admonition, but no sooner was this uttered than the elephant lajd hold of his musket, twirled it round his trunk, trod It.under his feet and did not re- store it until ‘he had twisted it into nearly the form of a corkscrew. Then he gave a snort at the discomfited sentinel, ‘as if to say, “Now I hope you'll mind your own business!” A Neighing Cock. Camden says the Thames was once called the Cockney, and therefore a cockney means simply one who lives on the banks of the Thames. Wedg- wood 'says a cockney, or cockerney, 18 one pampered by city indulgenge, in contradistinction to rustics hardened by outdoor work. There is, however, a legend, almost too good to be true— namely, that a Londoner who had never before slept out of sound of Bow Bells-had oceasion to go into the country and was detained all night. He was much disturbed by the lowing of the cattle, the grunting of the pigs and other sounds of country life, which he could not understand, and in par- ticular he was frightened by the crow- Ing of the cock. In the morning, in response to the farmer’s inquiries, he sald the sound of the wild beasts had kept him awake. Just at that mo- ment the cock crowed again, and the Londoner said: “That’s the one! He's been neighing like that for hours!” Since then Londoners have been called ‘cockneighs or_cockneys.

TAWNEY OPPOSES PLAN Predicts Deficit of $125,000,000 for the Present Fiscal Year and a Larger One in 1910—Bartholdt (Mo.) De- clares There Never Was a Time When Such an Appropriation Was as Unwise as Now. ‘Washington, Jan. 2J—The house defeated an amendment to the naval bill by Mr. Burton (O.) to limit the paval increase to one battleship and, by a vote of 108 to 158, sustained the tommittee provision calling for two battleships. A motion to strike out the provision for five torpedo boat destroyers was overwhelmingly defeated. ‘When the house resumed considera- tion of the bill the members were primed for the usual fight over the Increase in the naval establishment. Speaking in support of an amend- ment by Mr. Finley (S. C.) striking out the battleship provision Mr. Bar- tholdt (Mo.) declared that if there ever was a time when such an appro- priation was unwise and unnecessary it was now. “It is unnecessary,” he said, “because we are at peace with all the world and, what is more, we have wisely managed to safeguard our peace as it has never been safeguard- ed before.” Tawney Predicts Deficit. Representative Tawney, chairman of the house committee on appropria- tions, vigorously attacked the pro- gramme for naval increase, attribut- ing the present Japanese agitation to the decire te have the naval pro- gramme adopted. He declared there was no danger of trouble between Ja- pan and the United States and that without a naval base in the mid-Pa- cific Japan could do little damage to this country. He contended that Ja- pan covld not impose a farthing more of tax without creating a revolution In that country. Mr. Tawney, in his remarks, pre- dicted a deficit of $125,000,000 for the present fiscal year and of $143,000,000 for the next year. Replying to Mr. Tawney Mr. Hep- burn (Ja) found reason for the in- crease of the navy in the warlike charaster of the American people. Every generation of Americans, he said, had had its war and probably the next generation would have its. “HELLO” MEN IN SESSION Meeting of Independent Telephone In- terests in Boston Today.
