Echis Carinata of India, Found In Nearly Every Part of Peninsula, Is Death Itself. Tho most venomous of snakes Is held to be the Echis carinata of India. It is about 18 inches long and of a gray color. The creature Is death Itself, and carries in Its head the secret of destroying life with the concentrated agony of all the poisons. This snake is tolerably common In India, being found in nearly every part ef the peninsula. Fortunately, however, for man, It is g not, like the cobra, a snake, for its aggressive habits would make tt Indefinitely more fatal to life . house-frequentin- 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-- i riat, but keeps its path against its hu- man assailant, and pitting its 18 j inches of length against its enemys j j bulk, challenges and provokes con-- ! llict. 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 12 inches. Within it, at any event, lies certain" death, and, on the bare hope of hand or foot trespassing within Its reach, the Echis throws its body into a coil. Then it attracts attention by rubbing its loops together, which, from the roughness of the scales, make a rustling, hissing sound, erects its head in the center and awaits . figure- -of-eight attack. GIVE HIRED MAN A CHANCE' Treat Him as a Human Being and the Result Will Be Profitable, De- clares Writer. Give the hired mans family a chance to go to places to go to town once a week, to attend church, to take part' in the neighborhood socials and meetings. It will mean planning and foresight, and In some cases a little sacrifice on the part of the farmers family, but it is worth the cost, says a writer in Farm and Fireside. A good many farmers hate to make improvements In the tenant house and the result is that It often gets terribly uninviting and even uncomfortable be-- , fore repairs and improvements are made. We try to paint and paper our tenant house often enough to keep It' looking fresh and neat, and we consult the taste of the hired mans wife when we do It. It pays in the added care she gives to her housekeeping. We see that the windows are well screened and that the walks are kept in condition. There are a good many things that I like to do In partnership with the hired mans wife. Canning 4,s one of them. Canning Is a good deal more fun If two people work at it thyi If Just one is doing It. I have a good canning outfit, and we really get a lot of pleasure out of our days work besides exchanging knowledge on the subject. Since we have a power washer, the hired man brings his family laundry over every Monday and on Tuesday morning, bright and early his ; . wife and I do the laundry. The Prose Epic. No literary species has had a more unexpected and a more unprecedented prosperity than the novel in prose, which in the nineteenth century became the most popular of forms, essayed by many a writer who possessed only a small share of the gift of The novel is almost the only one of the literary species that the Greeks of the Golden Age did not develop and carry to a perfection which Is the despair of all later, men of letters. They seem to havej cared little for prose fiction ; and when they had a story to tell they set, It forth In verse, Inspired by the musei of epic poetry. Today that forsaken; maiden can find work fit for her hands only by laying aside her singing robes, and condescending to bare prose. Brander Matthews. ; story-tellin- g. j |
