THE MORNING ASTOMAN. ASTOIlt:. OREGON. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1905. FRIVOLITY IN ENGLAND. A Claim That It la What Really Keoa tha Ration Saaa. Which la woraeto be too serious or too frivolous? I hare no doubt about the matter myself, ao far aa indlrldoala are concerned, though all extremists are bore. The perpetually lively, feather brained, pleasure erased cree tura la almost. If not quite, as Irritating aa the deadly aerloua individual. But, apropos of tha accusation recently kxlced against as that aa a nation we are becoming too frlTotoua, one cannot kelp aaylna that w are a great deal Broiler than we were a few yeara ago, tad for thla relief assuredly we hare cause to be thankful In consequence we are accused of baring become too frivolous. It seems to me that we hare Just got matter nicely balanced. Thla la an age when twe axe prepared to be cranks on the , slightest provocation. People crave for ;KUaalona, they wallow In philanthropy, jfbey- pounce with aridity on new re 'Uftiona, they will plunge Into politics er write attack oa women, society. ; the degeneracy of the age, or anything . else that gives them an opportunity ef Mag what they call their view. So ' aurely, if dsatpere in loco were not oc ' caalonally to be permitted to oa, It la femrfal to think what we should be eooe. Ow frtrolUy la the antidote l the twentieth century disposition to- ward crankiness. It really keepa as World. THE HOODED COBRA. M la Y la Iata aa tha Of all the snakes at India the saga, aag or hooded serpent, commonly known aa the cobra, alone la sacred. It la called the food snake, and la con sidered a protector aad harbinger of soccsss. The Teneratlon of the cobra it, Intimately connected with the wor ship of the sun. and la thua closely re lated to the orthodox Hindoo religion. According to the U ahabharata. the heaven orac . which India ruled was . mainly tenanted by Devas and Nagaa, '. the former being deified heroes of the k Aryas and the latter those of the Naga ; people on earth. Although wars continued for a long ; time to be frequent between rival chiefs of the Invaders (Aryaa) and the Invaded (Nagaa), a gradual fusion be tween the two peoples took place, and ; heaven was shared equally , by Devas and Nagaa The serpent gods are wor ahlped new, as they were then, not aa . dangerous reptiles, nor as mere synv bole, but aa the deified rulers of an ancient people, whose tribal, or, rather, perhaps, racial, emblem was the naga, er hooded serpent, and whose chief deity was the son; hence the Naga temples are not dedicated to the ser pent, bat to the Nsga rajaha, the aa dent rulers of the race. SOCIAL SPONGING. tae Kstaat ta Which It la Carried la Laadaa. There la probably no city In the world where there la so much social ponging done as In London. At their big functions hosts and hostesses hare frequently not the remotest acquaint ance with many of the people who at tend them and wboee cheek la only ex ceeded by their roraclty. "I hare one particular case in memory," saya a writer in the Boston Herald, "where a woman brought fifty of her friends. It was at the house of a millionaire, the Hon. Glln Vivian, In Eaton square. On the same occasion nearly every one else brought herself, her family and all her friends. It was a nerer to be forgotten gathering. Many people ner er succeeded In getting beyond the ball door. An excellent supper bad been provided for about three or four hun dred, but tbere must bave been a thou sand present. About 1 a. m. people were sitting about In the bedrooms eat ing Bnndwlibcs and drinking claret or champagne In fact, anything they could grab from the supper table and the story went that they got so hungry aud riotous that tbey invaded the wine cellar nnd tbe lurdcr." 1There tha Wars Parted.

Yet be went next day and gave the office boy a raise of 13 a week. Such are the ways of men. Chicago Record Haw A Slmala Hit. It Ukes a neighbor to disentangle a man from a handsome setting. A good many years sgo, when Wordsworth was poet laureate of England, a worthy Cumberland yeoman walked mauy , mikes, In reeponse to widely scattered notices, to bear tbe poet laureate ad dress a meetlDg. When he discovered who held tbe blgb sounding true, he left the hall In Indignation. "'Twas nobbut old Wadsworth o' Rydal, efter aw!" 1 e said scornfully on his return to his family. SatHalah. The shltlalab. accounted Ireland's na tlonal wniou of ilefeuse, was original Ir a common blackthorn stick, but tu modern times It has been replaced by the more wiry ash sapling. The real shUlalah Is a young shoot of the sloe shrub or blackthorn pulled by the root from the crevice of some rock. After being trimmed It Is placed In the smoke of turf neat, which softens the hard fiber, and when It haa reached a con dition as pliant as rubber It Is straight saed.

"from the enemy," re plied the sublieutenant ef artillery. Aad tale answer so pleased the exam Inera that they passed him without fur ther questioning. Now, Napoleon's an swer waa by no means original, for one of SOTarotra sergeants obtained promotion from the ranks by giving the rery tame answer when asked tha very aame question. Whether it waa that Napoleon had read his story some where and luckily remembered the ser geant's answer at the right moment or whether, as one writer eays anent tha speech of the beef eater. "All that caa be said Is that two people happened ta hltapoa the same thought," we art Enable to say, but the similarity of the anecdote la, to say the least ef It, strange coincidence.
