HOW TO FIND EASTER 

 "THIRTY days hath September, 
Every person can remember; 
But to know when Easter's come 
Puzzles even scholars, some. 

When March the twenty-first is past 

Just watch the silvery moon, 

And when you see it full and round 

Know Easter 'll be here soon. 

After the moon has reached its full 

Then Easter will be here 

The very Sunday after, 

In each and every year. 

And if it hap on Sunday 

The moon should reach its height, 

The Sunday following this event 

Will be the Easter bright.

THE SNAKE AND THE EGGS

 

GENTLEMAN living in Rhodesia tells, in one of the newspapers, a wonderful story of some eggs that were hatched after having been swallowed by a large snake. The reptile,- a fine specimen of the banded cobra somehow got into a hen-house, where an old hen was sitting on a number of eggs. The hen, with much cackling and bustle, flew off in terror, and the snake proceeded to devour the whole of the eggs. The owner of the hen-house, hearing the bird's cries, came up and shot the reptile as it was resting after its meal; and when the creature was cut open, immediately after, it was found that nine of the eggs having been swallowed, whole still remained unbroken. They were taken out. rinsed with warm water, and put back in the nest. The hen at once began to sit again, as if nothing had happened, and in a short time the eggs were hatched, the chickens proving quite healthy and unharmed by the strange experience of their early homes.
