as biliousness.

Ship cargoes are often responsible
for the Introduction of quite new spe
cies of insects in different lands.
Banana bunches often hide poisonous
reptiles and Insects which travel long
distances, only to bite or sting the
hand of some receiver of fruit Often
they escape alive and breed their kind.
Many venomous snakes have thus been
Introduced Into lands where none ex

ship reached Knghiml. Thus originat

Recipe of a Politician For Remember
ing His Acquaintances.
In the American Magazine a writer
ays:
"Sly acquaintance was large, and I
was not only embarrassed, but annoyed
and hurt, by my failure to remember
much more prominent men.
"One day in a hotel lobby a member
of congress from my state, who had
been in congress for ten years, spoke
to me heartily, and as 1 shook hands
with him I committed the unpardon
able error of asking him who he was.
Ue happened to he a man of good
sound common sense, as well as a good
politician, mid here is what be snld to
me, after he led me away to a seclud
ed comer:
" 'Remembering new acquaintances
is a habit quite easily formed. There
are 14.000 voters in my district, and
I can spenk to four-tifths of them
by their tlrst names., Ordinarily, when
you are introduced to a man or when
you see him at a distance, you hear his
name, but your mind Is on something
else. When his name Is prououueed
to me I hare firm grip on his hand and
am looking at the color of his eyes
with my whole power of mind focused
on that one combination of name and
face. If the thing is done faithfully
there is not one chance in a hundred
that anything can blot out the memory
in ten years.' "

A Feature of Native Festivals and
Feasts In South India.
Instead of exchanging cards the well

their cfleem on New Year's day by
presenting to their friends limes cov

with gold leaf. As the natives have
several New Year's days of their own
In addition to the special ones of the
English, the Mohammedans and the
Tamil and Telugu branches of the
Hindus, the glided limes arc passed
around rather frequently. The custom
Is a purely local one, and It had Its
origin bo far back that uo one re
members when or why It was started.
In addition to the New Year's festi
vals gilded limes are sometimes pre
srr.tei! to the best at the ord'inry
"tamash" or social gathering. If a na
tive Is too poor to afford gilded limes,
not to mention gold covered ones, he
gives plain, undecomtod ones.
It Ls said that a great quantity of
brass loaf is used for decorating limes
for these special occasions, and the
bazaar trade in this kind of gilt Is very
larce tlitvn- rt the southern part of
