Snake Stops a Wedding.
Fraulein Heimath, a Viennese nurse, has declined an offer of marriage on account of a snake. She received from a former patient, a wealthy Brazilian fruit grower, a large ease of fruit as a Christinas present. It was accompanied by a letter in which the fruit grower asked her to go out to Brazil to become his wife. He promised to make her his sole legatee, and as an evidence of good faith enclosed a cheque for £350. Fraulein Heimath was delighted, and was proceeding to open the fruit case when she saw coiled up wjthjp it a large pojsonous snake. The shock gave her such a horror of Brazil that she wrote off at once declining the offer of marriage. © © ' ©
