It needs no sweetening. Southerners take it because it heads off fever. Chicago people may take it because it is the best substitute for lemonade and does not cost so much. It is made by soaking the tamarind seeds in water and pressing out the juice.

One afternoon, when the head of the house was away from home, the three women were sitting ina room together when the girl noticed a snake of con- siderable size coiled up on a clothes- rack or shelf some distance above the floor, and craning its neck out and waving it to and fro in regular snake fashion. The girl knew the impres- sionable condition of her mistress and the possible effect upon her of any un- due and sudden excitement. Her quick remembrance of this fact and her rapidly evolved plan of action are the proof of her self-possession. | She knew the prevailing weakness of women to scream when anything unusual occurs, and therefore knew she could not even take the nurse into her confidence at once in the matter of the discovery of the snake without great danger of precipitating the cli- | max she wanted to avoid. So she quiet- ‘ly said to her mistress: “I think I | heard your husband calling you at the gate.” The lady of the house at once withdrew, and as soon as she left the room the girl cautioned the nurse to make no outcry, and seizing the near- est club went after the reptile in a manner that put him out of business in short order. The nurse, of course, could not restrain a little demonstra- tion when she first saw the snake, but she choked herself off in short order, and by the time the mistress of the house returned to tell the girl she must have been mistaken about the eall, conditions in the room had re- sumed their usual serenity, and the girl admitted that she must have been dreaming when she fancied she heard the alarm outside.
