What is the use of snakes? In
their “going on their belly,” the cin
cumstance that bo often offended Ba.
con, lies one of their greatest UBes,
because that, together with their in
ternal formation and external cover
ing, enables them to penetrate where
no larger carnivorous animal could
venture, into dark and noisome mo
rasses, bog jungles, swamps amid the
tangled vegetation of the tropica,
where swarms of the lesser reptiles,
on which so many of them feed,
would outbalance the harmony of na
ture.
Wondrously and exquisitely con
structed for their habitat, they are
able to exist where the higher ani
mals could not; and while they help
to clear those inaccessible places ol
the lesser vermin, they themselvei
supply food for a number of the
smallsr mammalia, which, with
many carnivorous birds, devour vast
numbers of young snakes.
The hedgehog, weaael, ichneumon,
rat, peccary, badger, goat, hog, and
an immense number of birds keep
snakes within due limits, while the
latter perform their part among the

MONEY AND CHURCHES.
The amount of money spent upon
their churches iB always some gaage
of u people’s devotion. People do
not spend great sums of money on
their churches, and rob themselves of
the luxuries and even the necessities
of life, unless they believe in their
religion and the things for which it
stands. In every Russian village the
church is the great building of the
region. With its golden domes and
its curious double crosses, it towers
above all the homes and stores and
factories. The village may consist
of squalid huts, but the church is
often stately, or, if more humble, is
embellished with gold and silver or
naments and icons framed in jewels,
while the priests are gorgeous in
cloth of gold and rich embroidery.—
Dr. Francis E. Clark, in Christian
Churches.

there will be an entirely new
cabinet.
The President-elect declines to
say whom he will appoint, or to
expiess any preference, at thL
time. His administration and
favor with which it is received
will depend very largely upon the
men he selacts for his political
family. Bryan, Clark, Under
wood, Burleson and many others
have already been prominently
mentioned fer cabinet office; but
the party may have more need
for some of these in Congress.
Subordinate to the cabinet
there are a large number of
positions not under civil service
rules to be filled. These are
principally highsalaried places,
and it is fer these that the
scramble will occur upon the in
coming of the new administra
tion. Below these are many
places under civil service law.
Among these the employees in
this class there is great uneasi
ness lest they be disturbed. It
is feared by some that the civil
service law may be ignored under
the pleasure of eager politicians
for office. According to others
the fears of the department
clerks are groundless.
Another matter, upon which
there is much speculation,
whether the Progressive Party
will take the place of the regu
lar Republicans Party.
Its great strength as shown by
the vote polled is conceded; but
will it live and grow until it
eventually absorbs the Republi
can Party? Time atone can tell.

will i-lso appear a life-sized stat
ue of Dr. Knapp.
What vest possibilities loem
up, if the peoplt of i h j whole
South will annually ctntemplafe
agricultural matters for o le heur!
The State and county superinten
dents of educathn are taking the
lead in this movement. It will
be a worthy tribute to a worthy
man. The name of etch con
tributor will be kept as a grate'
ful record.
