Snakes of East Africa,; For one thing East Africa must Tiova ena If pa arp not numer ous,-as th^y are in the South, at least I have never seen many. There are pythons, but they do not appear to he dangerous. I shall never forget how, down in South Africa, during the war, I once awoke and found a black Mwamba in bed with me. This snake is absolutely deadly. It frightened me so that after the whole thing was over I went out and was sick. Fortunately I was quite ignorant of the fact that it was under the blankets with me, and rolled out unconcernedly.

One boy sells his apples 3.x. mree lur out; ueui, iucicuj &ciliu& ten ceDts. The other sells his apples at Vn-o appbs for one cent, thereby getting -fwen cents. Both will get twenty-five cents. Now, if both boys combine their stock and sell their apples at five for two cents they will only get twenty-four cents. The question is, why in the first sales do they get twenty-five cents for their stock by selling them at five for two cents, and in the next instance get only twenty-four cents for the same number of apples at the same price??M. {Jreenberg, in the New York Evening World. THINK HARD It Pays to Think About Food. The unthinking life some people lead often causes trouble and. sickness, illustrated in the experience of a lady in Fond Du Lac, Wis. "About four years ago I suffered dreadfully from indigestion, always having eaten whatever I liked, not thinking of the digestible qualities. This indigestion caused palpitation of the heart so badly I could not walk up a flight of stairs without sitting down once or twice to regain breath and strength. "I became alarmed and, tried diet Ing, wore ray domes vei j iuusc, uuu many otner remedies, but found no relief. "Hearing of the virtues of GrapeNuts and Postum, I commenced using them in place of my usual breakfast of coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and in one week's time I was relieved of sour stomach and other ills attending indigestion. In a month's time my heart was performing its functions naturally, and I could climb stairs and hills and walk long distances. "I gained ten pounds in this short time, and my skin became clear and I completely regained my health and ofr-oncrth l continued to use Grane Nuts and P^tum, for I feel that I owe ray good health entirely to their use. "There's a Reason." "1 like the delicious flavor of Grape-Nuts, and by making Postum according to directions it tastes similar to mild high grade coffee." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

Ci "What does she look like?" she u : asked, pointedly. & Several little girls tried to answer, o but Elizabeth, the immensity of | whose butterfly bow made her author- fi 1 ity on matters of importance, waved n ; them haughtily aside: ' H "W'y, she looks somethin* like the it i lady what used to' keep the lunch a ' counter at the junction, only teacher I she's kind o' thin, an' she's got blue si eyes, 'stead o' blown, an' lier hair ain't black like that lady's, but it's R3 kind o' slate-colored, an* she don't wear no rat, an'?" s] "An' she ain't got no di'munt ring, is neither!" added Gladys, pityingly. n "But she's got a green silk waist, h just like my ma got down town at the s< bargain sale," said Helen, whose mother was the acknowledged leader ti | of the styles in that neighborhood. d "An' she hath a buckle on the j fronth of her belth and one on the w back!" lisped Annie. The failure of I Annie's eyes to "track" probably ac- fc j counted for the complete inventory she had taken of her teacher's ap- si pearance. ci Meanwhile, an excited group of di , boys had gathered around Patsy MorI gan. Patsy enjoyed the honor of beI ing the incorrigible of the school. I Patsy's former teacher, with the com- C [ bined help of Patsy's mother and of | his father (sometimes), the principal, I the truant officers and the janitor, lc had succeeded in reducing Patrick to tc j a state of docility, which, at least, w made life with him bearable. Now a lc i grin which out-Cheshired all known tc I Cheshires, illumined his freckled face pi (clear up to his "stubby hair, as he tt ! strode proudly among his admiring u I friends and delivered himself thus: r< "Gee,- but she's easy!

Here's where Patsy Moran w studies hard, nit! From this time on ol I has a good time, and don't you fel- oi lows ferget it!
