This Reptile, the Most Venomous of Snakes, Is Death Itself. i The most venomous of snakes is said te be the Echis carinata of India. It, is about eighteen inches long and of a gray color. The creature is death it- self and carries in its head the secret | of destroying life with the concentrat- ed agony of all the poisons. The Echis carinata is tolerably com- mon in India, being found in nearly every part of the peninsula. Fortunately. however, for man, it is | not. like the cobra, a house frequent- ing snake. for its aggressive habits would make it infinitely more fatal to life than its dreaded relative. This king of the asps does not turn | to escape from man, as the cobra will, or flash into concealment, like the ko- riat. but keeps the path against its human assailant and, pitting its own eighteen inches of length against its enemy's bulk. challenges and provokes conflict. A stroke with a whip will cut it in two or a clod of earth disable it. But such is its malignity that it will in- vite attack by every device at its com- mand, staking its own life on the mere chance of its adversary coming within the little circle of its power. At most the radius of this circle is BULLETS IN BATTLE Play Queer Pranks at Times on Their Mission of Death. the battle of P2ach Orchard, McClellan was making bis They At when | change of base. a Michigan infantry- man fell to the ground as if shot dead and was left lying in a heap as the regiment changed position. The bullet | that had hit him first struck the barrel | of his gun, then glanced and struck off i a button of his coat, tore the watch out of his vest pocket and struck the man | just over the heart, where it was stopped by a song book in his shirt pocket. He was unconscious for three- quarters of an hour, and it was a full | month before the black and blue spot disappeared. At Pittsburg Landing a member of | the Twelfth Michigan infantry stooped to give a wounded man a drink from | his canteen. While in this act a bullet | aimed at his breast struck the canteen | and buried itself in the leg of a horse. The canteen was split open and drop- | ped to the ground in halves. i At the second battle of Bull Run a | New York infantryman was passing | tobacco to a comrade when a bullet | struck the plug, glanced off and buried | itself in a knapsack. The tobacco was rolled up like a ball of shavings and carried a hundred feet away. Directly | in the line of the bullet was the head 1 i twelve inches. Within it at any point lies certain death, and on the bare hope of hand or foot trespassing with- | in its reach the Echis carinata throws | its body into a figure of eight coil. Then it attracts attention by rubbing its loops together. which, from the! roughness of the scales. make a rus tling, hissing sound. erects its head in the center and awaits attack It is said that no one. having once encountered this terrible reptile, can ever forget its horrifying aspect when thus aroused. its eagerly aggressive air, its restless coils, which. in con- stant motion one over the other and rustling ominously all the while, stealthily but surely bring ii nearer and nearer to the object of its fury. Harper's. TWO NEW HATS. The Scheme That Won Them and the | Way It Was Worked. A man who used to be in politics and was a constant borrower found him- gelf in need of a new hat. but he couldn't find anybody who would lend him a cent. Finally he went to an acquaintance and sald: “1 want to borrow $30 for five min- utes.” “You can have it if you will put up| a couple of fingers for security.” “Nix. Now. ['ve got a scheme. You lend me the fifty and you needn't let me get cut of yonr sight. If youn do it I'll stake you to a new hat.” Mystified, but curious, the acquaint- paired to a prominent “Wait a minute,’ said the adven-! turer and left his backer doing sentry duty on the sidewalk. i Picking out the most important 100k- | ing personage in the store, the politi- | clan went np to him and said: i “1 am So-and-so of the — district. | i have come to pay for iwo hats for which 1 bave given orders on you to two of my constituents.” With that he flashed an fAfty dollar bill There was a scurrying around, a search of hooks and a reply that no such orders had been presented. “Just look out for them. will you?” said the district leader, waving the big bill. which was hypnotic in its way, for the clerk howed low and said. “Yes.” of a lieutenant, and had not the bullet been deflected he would certainly have | been wounded or killed thereby.

Mothers-in-law In Dickens’ Time. Nowadays it is regarded as utterly incorrect to speak of a stepmother as a “mother-in-law.” But anybody who does can plead plenty of literary au- thority. “Mother-in-law” was good English in this sense as well as the other in 1516. and both Fielding and | Thackeray have it, “Father-in-law” is | used by Shakespeare both for a wife's father and for a stepfather, and in this sense it can be quoted from Dick- ens and George Eliot.
