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."

Passenger (at station where the train
has made a twenty minute stop for re

where Clugsby, the famous author,
used to live, Isn't It?
Villager Yes, air, but we hain't got
much use for Glugsby.
' Passenger Why not? .
Villager-Well, sir, the fust time he
came back here, after he'd got to be a

by phone today he told me yoo were

could ask where you bad gone or when
yoq would be back."
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.

modern times It has been replaced by

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

Waa Napoleon waa student at Brt-

how would yea supply yourself with

plied the sublieutenant ef artillery.
Aad tale answer so pleased the exam
Inera that they passed him without fur

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
