One afternoon this conversation oc¬
curred:
“Mother, where is your grandmoth¬
er?”
“In heaven, dear.”
“Oh!”
Silence and apparent absorption in
toys for a full hour, then:
“Mother, didn’t I come from heav¬

“Of course.”

Feeding the Cobras.
The keepers of the big cobras in the
Central park menagerie and the New
York zoological garden do not find it
easy to supply their venomous charges
with the kind of food that they spe¬
cially prefer. In their native land co¬
bras live chiefly on smaller and less
dangerous and objectionable snakes,
but although every effort is made to
collect harmless snakes to satisfy the
appetite of the 'imprisoned cobras at
some seasons they have to be content
with rats and mice, which they do not
particularly like. Other varieties of
captive snakes are fed mainly on toads,
mice and rabbits. English sparrows
are also purchased for them.
Fating an Orange.
When oranges are cut across and eat¬
en with a spoon somewhat of their
naturalness seems gone. It is an arti¬
ficial way of eating this fruit, but often
proves the most convenient. The way
in which the juice flies is one of the
drawbacks to this method. By taking
n knife and cutting a little circle
around the core in the center this tend¬
ency of the juice to fiy is largely coun¬
teracted. Some fastidious people never
cut their oranges across and never use
a spoon, but instead cut them in eighths
with the skin on and sip the juice from
these little portions.
