Tho African cobrn is regnrded samp,
what fovorently by tho lyttirca of thnt
country, who ouoo a. yenr kill n cobra
do cnpallo nnd hang Its fdiln to tho
branch of n tfeo, tall downward. Then
nil tho children born during tho last
year nro brought out nid mado to
touch tho skin. This, tho parents think,
puts them under tho serpent's protec
tion. Tho cobra do cnpello divides with
tho horned viper of Africa the qucs
tlouabjo h.Qnor of. bolus tho "jvorm x

firs use tho venom of tbts snake's
cousin, tho puff nddor, to poison their

quantity left tboy swallow It, IwtIb a
theory that it will protect them from
tho bad effects of future bites. Tb

bites of snakes do not hurt them, and
If they find a dead Berpcnt they dress
it in clothes and give It a superb fu
