Tim sea serpvent of mendacious i renown seeitiB to have been driven out pf business this year by a land Berpront, whose principal duty, it seems, is to frighten the owuers pf cabbage patches. Many storing .hftVe been . published con- | periling tnis creature usually re- l ferred to as the cabbage snake. ' Seyerjijl. of these serprents have been caught jind sent to the North ' Carolina Agricultural Department | for identification, and here is what Herald. McCarthy, biologist, haB I to say of his Mnakeship: ''Snakes and serprents belong 1 to flie backboned series of animals. 1 Tltyg creiit/ure is a nematode worm 1 belonging far down in the scale of ;' Created beings. ft has a soft, | boneless liody with only rudimentary organs. It does not bite or chew, bpt absorbs i t h food in liquid form through any and every jiaid of its botly. It it* normally an internal parasite of grass hoppers and other insects. Its presence in cabbage heads is rare and accidental,, due to the previous abundance of insects upon the J plihits. v^Thecabbage worms (Gor I dius variabilis) are never found parasitic upon humnns or vertebrate aqimals. The stories concerning the deaths supposed to have beep cpused by those worms pre untrue and ridiculous! There is no venom in tl)em. They nmy be eatep raw or cooked without danger to the eater. "The serious pprt of these stol ies is that such publications may cauae cpnpiderpblo loss by preventing pepple from eating the cabbsge they haY? raiser! or purchased. }3ucb fears are wholly groundless. The worpis are not common nnd when I hey du ucour upon cabbage they will do no harm tp anyone eating flip vegetable. SXbey are pt woiat no more hurtful than the worms so plentiful in apples and > peaches some seasons." I Evangelist Little Looses $600. Lust Monday JLev. W.
