The Yarn That Was Spun by a Traw
eler In Australia,
An Ausrrallan traveler says that he
‘wan one day walking iln the thick
- scrub, collecting specimens, when he
“ecame upon a lgrge light brown snake,
a' species of python, colled upon the
ground,
He was by far the finest one he had
ever seen at large. lle was probably
ten or twelve feet long aund as thick
us a man's leg at the knee,
He looked savuge enough to devoura
man, and at first the collector felt half
inclined to run away.
He recovered himself, however, and
was on the point of shooting the ser
pent with a charge of dust shot in
“order to carry home his skin when it
occurred to him that hes would be
worth five times as much if he were
taken alive.
“1 had,” he says, “a leather strap
with a buckle in my gawe bag, and
“with this 1 determined to noose the
snake.
“1 started toward him, but when I
came near he partly uncoiled, opened
hix mouth very wide, thercby discios
:ng his sharp teeth, and, hissing spite
fully. struck at me. 1 dodged behind
a small tree and. leaning out as far
vs | dared, tried several times to
noose him.
“After I had teased him for some
time he suddenly started off at fall
speed. I caught my gun and by dint
of hard running through the thick
scrub managed to head him off. He
coiled, and again I tried the noose, but
he put his head under his coils in a
very sulky manner. I reached out from
my shelter behind a tree and caught
him by the tail, but he pulled away
with great force and glided off again.
“Phis time he took refuge under a
fallen tree and before I could head
Bhim off was gliding down the bole of
sorme wild animal. ~ .
“i reached the spot just as the last
fmo or three feet of his body were
Jlsaprec:ing, and, selzing his tail with
doth hands, I hung on desperately.
With my feet braced against a lmb
of the tree I pulled till the tall eracked
and snapped as if it would break asun
der. Sometimes he pulled me to with
fn a few inches of the hole. and then
1 would brace myself against the limg
and drag him halfway out.
“At last I grew =o tired that I had
to let go my hold. and with many re
grets [ saw the last few inches of the
tail disappear beneath the earth.”
THE DUTCH KITCHEN.
Largest Rdom In the House and Has
) Bed In the Corner.
ITolland. of all countries, is a memo
rial to the unceasing labor of man’s
hands. It exists not because the sea,
higher than its green stretches, suffers
it to. but because man by the labor of
his hands 2nd of his brain has kept
the water back. The Dutch people
have not only earned their land—they
have made it.
“When have they found time to do
it all?’ you ask yourself. But you are
to know more of the work which in
Holland never ceases. Of the work
which goes on within those houses you
know nothing until at Delft you make
your first acquaintance with a Dutch
kitchen.
The kitchen is properly a large room
as compared with the other rooms in
the house. for it is the gathering place
at all times for the family. The table
is round and stands not quite in the
center of the room. but so that the
mistress. sitting at one side, ¢an reach
her hand out to the stove without ris
ing. . ,
In one corner of the kitchen is such
a bed as you have never seen before.
The stiffly starched white muslin cur
tains make it look like a blind window,
but the grandsecn pulls the curtains
back, and in the recess fornied by the
closet on one side and the corner of
the room on the other you see the
place where your hostess sleeps. There

“Sir,” said the young man m»
spectfully, “I am a poor man, and
you are a millionaire. It seems pre
sumptuous in me no doubt to aspire
to the hand of your daughter. But
my love for her is so great that I
cannot be stopped by such consider
ations. Love scorns conventiont
and conveniences. Ah, sir, will you
give her to me?” ;
The old magnate seemed interest
ed. “But which of my four dangh

unkindly.

Sir Thomas Lipton's Experience as a

“During the early part of my busi

I had taken when I bhad gone, Had it
not been for the kindness of my fel
low passenzers my journey would have
been very miserable, and once or
twice, I confess, I lost heart,
“I had no money nor any one to go
to when 1 arrived in New York, and
before we landed I cudgeled my brains
as to what I was to do. As the steam

my few belongings and rushed away
to the nearest hotel before any one
else had left the vessel,
“As it seemed a clean, well kept

catch my fellow passengers and per

I assured them they would get excel-
