A Baltimore lawyer had an office boy who was given to teling in other of fices what happened in that of his chief. The lawyer found it necessary to discharge him, but. thinking to keep him from a similar fault in the future. he counseled the boy wisely on his departure. "Willie, you must never hear any thing that is said in the office." he said. "Do what you are told to do, but turn a deaf ear to conversation that does not include you." A happy inspiration! He would see that the stenographer learned the same lesson in passing. so, turning to her. he said: "Miss Brown, did you hear what I said to Willie?'" "No. sir." she returned promptly. Lippincott's.

Great numbers of Siamese die every year of snake bites. On being bitten the victim simply lies down and suc cumbs. The deaths are most numer ous during the rice planting season, when the people are working in the fields, for the season is coincident with the nesting time of the cobra. which will then attack human beings without hesitation If they happen near the nest. The cobra will also bite un der water. There are fifty-two varie ties of snakes in Siam. the majority of them being venomous. In size they range from the thirty foot python to the deadly little earth snake six inches in length. The following is a Siamese prescription for snake bites, on the theory that like cures like, it is to be presumed: Bone of goose. tail of a fish. bones of domestic pig, bones of wild boar, bones of a peacock, the head of a venomous snake.

"Why," came the answer, "fire in surance folks are returned colonials who lived abroad and have committed every crime in the calendar.'
