A few years ago a noted wild: beast
tamer gave a performance with his pets
in one of the leading London theatres. .
He took his lions, tigers, leopards and

wonderful nerve and his control over
them.

three days old; and for 20 years he
had hardled it daily, so that it was con-
sidered perfectly harmless and com-

seen it grow from a tiny reptile, wuich
fearful monster.
The curtain rises upor an Indian
woodland scene. ~The weird strains, of
the Oriental band steal through the
trees.
A rustling noise is heard, and a huge
serpent is seen winding its way through
the undergrowth. It stops. Its head

heavy folds around him. Higher. and

The man gives a little scream, and
the audience unite in a thunderous
burst of applause, but it freezes upon

Rest for Women,

There isan old adage to the
effect that oa womanTs work is
never done.� [believe that the
per type has construed this to
mean that she doesenTt do her
work; but, fortunately, or unfor-
tunately, that is not the case:
The average house-keeperTs work
is never finished; there seldom
comes to atime inthe day when
éverything is laid aside for a little
relaxation,when the hands and
brains are free from care. There
has been much talk of recreation
and rest forthe business man, for
the business woman, eyeu fcr the
children. But how about the
housekeeper? DoesenTt the eight
huur rule"eight hours for work,
eight hours for sleep apply to
ber? Assuredly it does, and
nulesst here is relaxation every
day, and absolute rest from
household cares the homemaker
cannot hope to accomplish the
best work in her home life. lt 1s
