and that they are eating up everything.
It says : " They cover the landscape

wings like summer dusters en parlor fur

they call te each ether, ' Come ever and
help us eat them up.' The weeds are

them."
A few days age a little seu of Mr. F. B.
Tayler was playing in the yard in the rear
of his father's residence at Monticello, and
suddenly exclaimed : " Ob. papa, leek
at the pretty snake !" Mr. Tayler
rushed te the deer, but a pony near by was
mere prompt, for observing the reptile
within a few feet of the child it made a
leap and came down upon the snake,
striking it with ene of its hoofs just back
of the head, and killing it instantly. It
was a large rattlesnake, aud it i3 possible
the pony saved the child's life.
Snakes en the Street.
In Salem, Mass., during the parade of
the'Barnnm and Londen shows, the six
horse team, drawing the glass-enclosed
case containing forty big serpents became
unmanageable and ran away, smashing the
cage into fragments, and literary strewing
tre streets with anacondas, boa constric
tors and venomous reptiles. There was a
general stampede among the immense
crowd witnessing the precession, but
through the coolness of the keeper of the
serpents, aided by the courage of the em
ployees of the show, the slimy monsters
were gathered up without harming any
one.
The Sea serpent.
Capt. Larsen, of the bark Hener, arrived
in Galveston, reports that while about half
way between Juaderiaanu St. Vegas, La
nary Islands, he passed ene of the most re
markable fish that he ever saw. This
marine monster is described as being about
forty feet in length, with four large fins,
or wings, arranged in a row down its back.
These fins varied in length, according te
the reckoning of Capt. Larsen, from eigh
teen te twenty-two feet, and in width from
six te nine feet. At the time of its being
sighted the fish was about a quarter of a
mile te windward of the vessel, and was
lashing the water with its tail and wings,
evidently in combat with some ether mon
ster. Little Aleck's Tussle with a Rat.
The editor of the Macen Telegiaph says:
"In our store we have an old cat with live
kittens about four weeks old, each of
which seem te be the smartest. A few
evenings since, while reading a paper, I
was disturbed by what seemed te be a
nei3e made by a rat. I looked behind
some boxes and found him and one of my
kittens, Aleck Stevens by name, saw him
and went for him. They didn't fight
ever seven minutes. I listened every
minute te hear my kitten call for "calf
rope," but he had tee much of his name
sake's grit te ever give up. At last the
noise ceased, the dust cleared away and I
saw, te my surprise, that my kitten had
him by the cellar. I drew them out from
behind the box, aud the rat was dead.
At the suggestion of bystanders I weighed
them both, and the rat was just four
ounces the heavier.
A Hen Captures an Owl.
Frank Davis has in a cage at his drug
store in the village of Seuth Butler, N. Y.,
a fine specimen of the large cat-owl,
which was captured in this way : At the
barnyard of the Douglas farm, half a mile
south of the village, a hen and chickens
were housed, with one edge of the coop
prepped up with a corn-cob standing
under it. They were discovered by the
owl in his nocturnal pursuit of a supper.
Of course he entered the coop, with the
view of taking ene of the tyeung birds,
and of course found himself immediately
in cenllict with the old hen, and in the
melee the chickens all escaped, and she
then made her exit, taking away the cob
that prepped up the coop, and leaving Mr.
Owl in solitary confinement.
An Eagle's Appetite.
J. II. Welkcr, proprietor of the Jee
Hoeker house, en Robinson street, Read
ing, has an eagle which is fend of feasting
en cats and rate. Beys living in the north
ern part of the city, upon learning that
the bird was fend of cats carried some
there every day te see the eagle destroy
them. The report was circulated that
the proprietor paid liberally for cats and a
great many mero were brought than the
eagle could devour. It was net au unusual
thiug te see boys after school with a half-a-dozen
cats in a bag, some of which had
been stolen from the neighbors. Finally,
Mr. Welker refused te allow the boys te
feed any mere cats te the bird, aud new
buys rats, paying fifty cents per hundred.
"Hew many rats have you purchased
during thepast week ?" asked the report
er of Mr. Welker, and he replied, " Seven
dozen." The rats are thrown into the
cage alive, and the eagle grabs them en the
back, pierces them through the vitals, and
kills them the same as it did the cats. The
rats must be perfect, without being maimed,
else the eagle will net touch them.
Kindness Before Pleasure.
There is a sagacious Newfoundland deg
in Norwich, Conn. He will take the
basket, in which is a note, and go te the
market, get meat, vegetables, or whatever
the note calls for, and carry it safely home.
But he has a daily task assigned him,
which he performs, rain or shine, and that
is te carry her mistress her dinner. She
keeps a millinery establishment, and does
net go home te her noonday meal. Regu
larly as the day comes round the deg may
be found trotting along Main street at
about 11 with the basket in his mouth,
looking neither te the right nor left, but
going straight te the store, where he sets
it down and watches it until his mistress
comes for it. And he is se well-known,
tee, among the Norwich dfgs that he is
never molested. But- en Monday a
stranger deg undertook te have' a little
racket with him while he was leaded down
with his commissary stores. He hung te
the basket, but stepped long enough te get
a geed leek at the cowardly cur that had in
terfered with him, and then started off en
a run te the store, where he dropped the
basket and immediately returned te the
street, and began te search for his assail
ant. He found him en Franklin avenue,
and proceeded te chastise him in true
canine style. In about half a minute he
sat down and watched that cur put in his
best jumps for the hilltops of Yoluntewn,
giving a ki-hi at every leap. '
Woodcock Telegraphy.
A writer who observed the curious ways
the birds have te communicate with each
ether says, in the Chicago Tribune, "en a
number of occasions I have closely observed
the woodcock's system of telegraphy. The
bird's mandibles are furnished with ex
tremely sensitive nerves, se arranged that
when the point of the bill rests upon the
ground the slightest sounds are conveyed
te its brain. Standing upon the water-
1 saturated earth of a spenty beg, our Wrd
utters a faint, keen cry, scarcely audible
at two reds' distance, then immediately
lets fall his head till the tip of his bill
touches the ground, and listens attentive
ly. If his mate hears him she replies,
puts her bill en the ground, and
listens in turn. Se the love mes
sages go back and forth as long as the
birds have anything te say. This sort of
thing usually happens in the soft twilights
from May te the middle of August,
tlinnnli wainnallv T h&TA aAfln And
heard it in the bread light of a summer
day. In June, 1868, 1 made the following
note : Te-day sketched a woeacocK in
the listening attitude. Shall try te get
further studies.' Five years later I suc
ceeded in getting three mere sketches and
last year (1880) I get four mere. Many
of these and kindred sketches have been
obtained at the end of indescribable care
and labor. The woodcock is se shy, 'se at
tentive, se sentitive, that the least sound
will cause it te skulk and hide a thing it
does with even greater cunning and suc
cess than the quail. The only way in
which I ever have been able te get near
enough te the bird te sketch its natural
attitudes has been te crawl en the wet
ground through tangled weeds and shrubs
until I reached a hiding place en the ber
der of its feeding range, and there pa
tiently and silently watch for its coming.
This I have dene ever and ever again for
days together before getting sight of the
bird."
A Geed Samaritan.
Land and Water.
I read with much interest in yenr last
issue the following passage : " I observed
a curious thing ene day lately. Seme feed
had been thrown out te the starving birds
by some geed Christien, when a reek
came down and flew back te where he had
left another reek sitting in a very weak
looking condition, and fed her with what
be had picked up. This he did twice in
my sight before taking anything himself.
It was a very interesting sight, and I was
very much pleased with it." I was par
ticularly struck with it, because I had
some time previously received from a cor
respondent in Wales, a stranger te me, a
precisely similar account of another of
these birds. "What I wanted te men
tion was this. One day, in the
bitterest of the. weather, when I am
sure our friend the reek I have
spoken of was indeed reduced te great ex
tremities, the bird nevertheless performed
the following geed deed : It picked up a
bit of bread, carried it te another reek,
which sat en the terrace wall, tee shy te
come nearer, and fed it there. Ner was
this after having satisfied its own hunger,
for it had only jnst alighted. " When I
put this little story down I had misgiv
ing that anyone who might read it wenld
scarcely be disposed te believe it, as be
yond credulity. I was therefore much
gratified at having se seen afterward seen
such an exactly similar fact recorded in
corroboration of it .as above. It was in
deed, I think, a very touching incident,
and one te make everyone, I should hope,
who reads it, have much geed feeling for
all of Ged's creatures.
Hurrah I Fer Our Slue.
Many people have lest their interest In poli
