Meanwhile the young woman never took her eyes from her baby, except to glance provokingly at the old ' Conducton. ' shouted that individual in an aAfal toni. "I'U report you. How fa it that you aUow this ridicmotu scene to take place on your curt" "Ain't seen notbin'" was the impertur^ able rejoinder, "What fa it T" "Look at thu baby on my lap," "My I what a pretty child. Is it yours; sir?" very respectfully. "I have had enough of thfa," said tho chubby old gentlemm. "Stop the car." The car was stopped.

It fa gent rally thought that there are a great number of ppiabnons snakes. In North America there are but three speciesâ€" tiie ratlesnake, the copper- h^d Or moccasin, and the coral. There are about thirty varieties of these species altogether. The copporhead fa probaliiy the moat dangerous, as it fa vicious, and never raves waning of sny kind before striking.

The ooml is much smaller, and is a native of the Southern Stotes. The bite fa not neceasarly fatal if the proper remedies are used in time, as, oa account of ite size, the qnaitity of poison fa smalli When a r^tile strikes he throws hfa whole body forward, and the .fangs ponetarato the object aip^inst whioh they oome.
