Worship of the Serpent. The Apaches 'profess to be descend ed fronm a snake, and venerate it ac cordingly, and the most extraordinary prehistoric earthwork on the conti nent testifies to the power of the ser pent on the Imagination of primitive man. The tribes of central Australia, the most primitive people in contact with modern civilization, have in a mythical serpent of gigantic size and magical atu~ibutes their nearest ap proach to a deity. Serpent Ia Old Legends. The serpent was a:nong the gods of the Iand of Egypt, where Moses led his people, and they 2ound It among the gods of the landi they were to subdue.

There is scarcely any region on this globe from the equator to the newly found continent of the arctic circle and the lately discovered south pole, where there is not a general belief in the powerful and deleterious effects of moonlight on fish, newly planted seeds and to a lesser extent on meat which is to become food, says a writer in the New York American.

Writer Insists That Protest .of House maids' Union Ia Misdirected There Can Be No Better Place for Courting. The housemalds of Cleveland, O. have formed, a union, and they are greatly excted over the question "Shall we or shall we not consent tc receive our gentlemen friends in thi kitchen?" Good for the Honsemaids' union-I be .1eve In It. Better hours, better pay ,bitter sleeping rooms-I hope the housemalds will get all these thing. Why not? Butaboutthis kitchen business. Pause a moment, dear Madame President of the Housemnaids' union. What is the p~atter with the kitchen? Is there something disgraceful about it? Pray tell! And if so, when did its dis graceful dishonor begin? Ugly? A good, wholesome, clean, bright, cheerful kitchen? Why, to my mind, It's the prettiest room in the house, declares 'finifred Black in the New York American. What's ugly about a shining floor, and olean curtains, and a bright range, and rows of good cook ing dishes? I've seen dozens of stiff little recep tion rooms, with stiff little gilt chairs in them, and a stiff, berosied carpet on the floor, and a stiff gilt mirror on the solemn walls;' that weren't half so pretty as a kitchen to my eyes. I don't see anything disgraceful about a kitchen, unless it Is dirty. Seems to me, If I could cook well enough to hold a good place, I'd be proud of it, not ashamed, and, whis per, gentle maidens of the House maids' union. I never noticed any aver slon to the kitchen on the part of any man I ever met. The average woman has to argue with her husband by day and by night to keep him from making some ex cuse to get out Into the kitchen. Don't send your young men away from the kitchen, gentle Hilda, or sweet Eileen. Lead him right In and see how mild and tamahle the sight of -that shiny range and those iows of delectable spices will make him. If I had a young mar who was a little slow in coming to the point of talking about the fist I'd never see him anywhere but in my kitchen, and I'd wear a good, big, clean, service able kitchen apron, -when I saw him, too. Oh, yes, the tube skIrts and the elaborate hair are well enough to catch his vagrnt eye, but when you want to really enchain him give him a doughnut of your cooking, or a doz en cakes or so with raisins in them, and watch the ciution and the reserve melt from his manner like snow In the spring sunshine. Ole isn't all for moonligh'e picnics and moving picture shows, Hilda; he just acts that way to please you. What Ole really takes an interest in is a good fire on a cool evening, a comfy seat by it, and something good to eat.
