Tip on Roptile’e Snout With Which It Break* Its Way Out. Because of the popular aversion to the serpent family there is a sur prising amount of ignorance about even the simplest of snake habits. It is doubtful if many correct an swers could be given to the ques tion whether snakes lay eggs or bear their young alive. As a mat ter of fact, some species arc vivip arous and others oviparous.

Lit tle G eorge chopped down the Cherry Tree. Yon know the rest of the story. W e have another cherry story that will interest you and w e want to tell it to you. It is about many of the harmless varieties be long to the former class. The European ring snake is close ly allied to our common water snake and goes by the scientific name Tro- pidonotus imtrix. Curiously enough, all other members of the genus tro- pidonotus arc viviparous, and this species alone lays eggs. Further more, according to (Jadow’s “Am phibia and Iteptiles,,, the new laid eggs usually show not the slightest visible sign of an embryo unless oviposition is delayed, when the em bryos are more or less developed. The eggs arc laid in July or Au gust in a soft bed of loam' or de caying vegetation or in a heap of manure. The older snakes some times lay as many as a dozen eggs or more, and they usually stick to- , gethcr, so that the entire cluster can be picked up at once: Some times, however, if the process of laying is slow, they will be separat ed. The eggs are about an inch long and of a whitish yellow color. The shell is thin and flexible, like parchment. The young hatch in late summer or autumn. Before hatching they develop a sharp calcareous growth on the tip of the snout, known as the egg tooth, with which the shell is slit open. Unlike hatching chicks, which arc suddenly dispos sessed by the breaking of their brittle shells, the young snakes make many incisions in the parch ment envelopes and take many peeps at the outside world before venturing forth into the-new envi ronment. Shortly after hatching the egg tooth is lost. At first the young live on insects and worms, but within a few weeks they arb strong enough to attack and devour young frogs. Strangely enough, although the adults are strong swimmers and spend much time in ponds and streams hunting the fish and frogs on which they subsist, the young arc unable to swim, and they will soon drown if they fall into the water. The Euro pean ring snake, as well as the American water snake, makes an excellent pet. It. is pcrfectv harm less, becomes very tame and learns to know the' difference between friends and strangers. Gadow tells of a pet ring snake that would eat from his hand, crawl up his coat sleeve and coil itself contentedly on his arm.— Scientific American. This Queer Creature Enjoys Many P# culiar Advantages. “To be or not to be— n turtle? To b» certniuly, If I could not be a man,” de clares one wbo speaks with knowledge of his subject, “llasklng In troplcgl suns or cruising leisurely In cool’ depths, the turtle has an exceedingly good time. As soon ns the ha by turtle emerges from tho egg he scuttles down to the sen. lie has no one to teach him. no one to guide. In his little bralu there is Implanted a streak of cantiou, based on the fact that until a certain period his projecting armor Is soft and no defense against hungry flah, nud he Immediately seeks shelter In the tropical profusion of the gulf weed, which holds within Its branching fronds an astonishing abundance of marine life. “Here the young turtle feeds unmo lested and knows that his armor Is hardening apace.' Once he has attained the weight of twenty-five pounds be may •cheek’ freely any monster of the deep. After that no fish or mammal ever interferes with him. Intending devourers may struggle all day to break through his Iron shell. They al ways fall. “The turtle, like the sperm whale, has but one enemy—man. Now, even that sperm whale must edme pretty frequently to the surface to breathe, and if it got beached high and dry on land what would become of it? Rut the cheerful turtle can stay below the surface for a week If he wants to. and he often does, while If he had to spend an equal time oil land he would enjoy the change and be none the worse for It. lie is neither fish, flesh nor fowl, .ret his flesh partakes of the character istics of all three. “Eating seems a mere superfluity with him, since for weeks at a time he may be placed In a barrel, with the bung out, and emerge after his long fast apparently none the worse for his enforced abstinence from food, from light and almost from air. Of all the warm blooded organisms there is none so tenacious of life as the turtle. Inju ries that would be Instantly fatal even to fish leave the turtle'apparently un disturbed, and his power of keeping death at bay is nothing short of mar velous.\ AN EFFECTIVE SERMON. Trumpet Blast That Drove the People to Repentance. Old Peter Cartwright was a famous preacher and circuit rider many years ago. Tho cxborter was holding a camp meeting in Ohio. There was a great number of campers on the field, and the eccentric sii&Tlter addressed vast concourses at every service, hut In- thought too few were being converted. | He felt that something should lie done to st!r the sinners to repentance, so . a he prepare^ ., strong sermon on the second coming of Christ, lie told how the world would go on In Its slu and wickedness and at last (idhric! would . ,1 sound his trumpet and time Would come to an end. lie described the horrors of tlw lost and the joys of *2 those who were saved. The sermon grew In intensity, nnd he brought bl* people up to a grand climax, when sud denly the sound of a trumpet smote the ears of the anxious throng. There was a great sensation, and many fell upon their knees In terror j and began to repent and pray. Women and strong men groaned. ' few minutes. After the terror had some what ceased the preacher called to a man up a tree, nnd he descended with a long tin horn In his hand. The speaker then turned In fierce wrath and upbraided the people. He cried out In stentorian tones that. If a man 1 with a tin horn up a tree could frighten them so. how would It be In COMPOUND Cherry Juice Cough Syrup NASSAU COUNTY REVIEW S. F.

When the agent saw the placards he said a good many things not exactly complimentary to the discretion of the janitor. “What did you stick all those no tices up for?” he asked. “Because the apartments are real ly rented,” was the reply. “I thought it a good plan to let folks know they were going off so quick ly.” “That is all right in principle,” said the agent, somewhat mollified, “but you didn’t go about it in the right way. That .is not the proper kind of a notice. Never use the word ‘Rented’ in a high class apart ment hous^. Always say‘Leased.’. It makes a hotter impression. ‘Rented* sounds cheap.

They are not ours.” “A pleasant little surprise for you,” responded the lady. “You know, dear, you said this morning that we ought to study astronomy, and so I went to the bookseller's and bought everything I could on the subject.” It was some minutes before he spoke. “My dear,” he then said slowly, his voice husky with emotion, “J never saicN we must study astrono my.

An innocent cockney while in the W country asked a farm er how they man- 1 aged to grow streaky bacon. “Oh, it is simple enough,’’ said the honest agriculturist. “One week we starve the pig or_feed him very little. That makes a layer of lean meat. Next fa week .we give him all he can possibly | eat, even working overtime, and that A makes a row of fat. So by- alternate ,JI starving nnd feeding we get the beau tiful streaky bacon.” “Dear me.” said the cockney, “and how do you make the ham?” __ “Oh, we manage that, by putting a 1 ring in the pig’s nose,” was the reply. —London M.
