n one of his hunting trips, was telling

f the hunt.
"I know It's the general impression,"

Snake Worship.
I'ython worship or the worship of
snake pods is still practiced in parts
of tia- wot coast of Africa. In Da
homey and Ashanti there are temples
whore pyth ins are kept to receive the
adoration of the people. The snakes
are not confined to the precincts of the
temples, Small holes are left in thc
inclosinp wall, through which they
peas and sometimes make themselves
very much at home In the houses of
the people. When a stray snake ia
found word is sent to the temple, the
priests come and with many apologies
to his snakeahip pick him up and car?
ry him bark home.
Cold Blooded Animals.

Dickens and Schoolmasters.
Dickens, with something In his dis?
position peculiarly sympathetic toward
children, was a bitter foe of any one
? relative, teacher <>r official guardian
?who tyrannised over them, a writer
in the New York Poet points out that
he seems to tako special delight in ex
posinp the misdeeds of mercenary and
cold heart od pedagoguee. "When one's
notice." says the Tost, "ls first directed
to the attention tho novelist pave to
schools and their methods, lt is inter?
esting to try to recall the number men?
tioned. Six come to mind instantly?

amazed upon special Investigation to
discover the sum total of twenty-eight.
There ls not a phase of education that
he does not touch upon, and wrong
methods are revealed and commented
upon in tones so caustic and with rea?
son so unerring that l>etter conditions

Wooden Anchors.
The Basques, a strange race Inter
mediate between French and Span?
iards, have for all time boen great fish?
ermen, and some of th?ir craft and
seagoing gear are totally different
from any other known types. Perhaps
the most remarkable relic of bygone
civilizations is the primitive wooden
anchor still In use among them and to
be soon lu the fishing settlements round
Biarritz, Ouethary or st. Jean de Luz.
These wooden anchors are in all prob?
ability of the Identical type in use
among the Phoenicians twenty centu?
ries ago. The wooden anchor Is rough
hewn out of three branches, so fasten?
ed to a crossbar, also of wood, as to In?
close a great stone of twenty or thirty
pounds weight Here ls a cheap but
effectual anchor for comparatively light
boats. It can be made on the spot, and
lt entails little loss If, In a sudden
squall, lt has to t>e left Imbedded In
the rocks.

Hammers nie represented on the

Queer Weather Forecasting.
one of the rites performed by the
French peasants en New Year's eve ls
thc forecasting of the' weather for the
coming year by means of onions.
When the bolls ring for midnight m:i^
they BCOOp out tia* middles of twelve
onions, set them in a row on the
kitchen table, fill them with salt and
name them for the months of the year.
Then when they retain from mass they
examine the condition of the salt. If
it has melted in any of the "mouths."
months will be rainy; If the salt
remains dry. it Indicates drought; if
half melted, the first fortnight of the
month will be wet. The peasants have
such implied faith in this means of
foretelling the weather that they plant
their crops in accordance with the
prophecy of the onions.
Tho Iron Law of Caste.
As an illustration of the exclusive
ness of caste, which a native of Indi.i
will do almost anything to preserve, lt
might be mentioned that when money
passes between a low caste and a hlgt
caste man the tola is thrown on tin
ground by the one and picked up by ttn
other for fear of defilement. Tlo\\
may not stand on the Matt carpet 01
enter the same room. Neither must th(
low caste man cross the threshold ol
his superior's house or hut. If he want
to communicate with him he stands out
side and bawls.

Mrs. Gladstone stepped back. For five
minutes more In a deluge Mr. Glad?

Vti SoYma^s Tobacco
and Cottee
Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to?
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and flue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and im?
proved way is called flue cured.
In flue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of flame heated flues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer?
ing and stimulating quality that pop?
ularizes their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and thc
kind of soil that produces it, as ex?
pert tests prove that this flue cured
tobacco, grown in the famous Pied?
mont region, requires and takes less
sweetening than tobacco grown in
any other section of the United States
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies
tobacco hunger. That's why chewers
prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps
cheers more than any other chewing
tobacco, and that's why chewers of
Schnapps pass the good thing along
?one chewer makes other chewers,
until the fact is established that
there are more chewers and more
pounds of tobacco chewed to the
population in states where Schnapps
tobacco is sold than there are in
those states where Schnapps has not
yet been offered to the trade.
A ioc. plug of Schnapps is more
economical than a much larger ioc
plug of cheap tobacco. Sold at 50c.
per pound in 5c. cuts. Strictly io
and 15 cent plugs.
