with Its remarkably efficacious medi
cinal properties. Everybody otif;ht
to know that the very best thing they
can do Is to eat appless Just befora
retiring for the night. Persons un-
Itlnttid In tho mysteries of the fri.it
are liable to throw up their hands In
horror nt the vhilons of dypepsia
which such a suggestion may sum
mon up, but no harm can come even
to a delicate Bystem by tho eating of
ripe and Juicy apples before coin:; to
bed. Tho apple Is excellent brain
food, because It has more phouphorle
acid ln eustly digested shnpo than
any other fruits. It excites the action
of the liver, promotes sound mil
healthy sleep, and thoroughly disin
fects tho mouth. This Is not all; the
apple prevents Indigestion.

At tho last meeting of the London
Zoological Society sonio notes were
read by H. Shelford, late of tho Sara
wak Museum, on "flying" snakes.
Theee snakes are climbers, and a
wonderful provision of nature has
been made for them to break their
fall In' case of accident when at a
height from the ground.
They have a sort of hinge line in
the skin, on either side of the body,
and by muscular contraction the
ventral surface of tho reptile U
drawn In so as to become gulto con
cave and the body more flattened.
When falling, Instead of "wriggling
as other snakes do, they "hold their
bodies perfectly rigid and glide down
slowly to the ground, which they
roach nt quite an angle from where
their fall began.
