about six inches long, and if it cTawls over man

state the feelings of this happy family at being
thus suddenly thrown together I should Judge
from the proceedings that their ideas were, to
say the least, antagonlstic. The snake lay

rats were the only creatures which seemed alive

nous part of the family. By an unlucky trip on
the head of the snake, one of the rats at last
aroused him from his state of insensibiity and
expated his offense on the spot, as he fell dead
from bite. The other rats instantly darted on
the snake, who succumbed to their united attack !;
they bit him from head to TAIL and he died ; hav-
ing, however, with the little poison left after kill
ing the first rat, severely wounded The second.
The scorpions now began their part of the enter
tainment and, knowing that the drowsiness atten-
dant on snake bites, must be kept off at all hazards
humanely forced the rats into activity by running
under them and singing them as they hoped
about. The mode of treatment however, proved
failure, as the second rat who had been wounded
died. The two rats had, however, put the scor-
pous hors dis combat so the lastof this combative
family sere now the rat ana the eentipede the
last named had no chance with the former, and
speedily fell victim, the rat coming off victor As
tribute to hispluck and prowess, he was allowed
to return to his native haunts where he may prob
ably be still enjoying perfect health.

Chinese Juggling.

While walking on the banks of the

yer Juggling, A boy, about fourteen
years of age, performed the needle trick
in an exceedingly expert manner. He
commenced by sticking dozen of com
mon sewing needles upon tho end of a
piece of wood, and showed them to the
lockers on. ] examined one of them,
and found it TO be an ordinary sharp
pointed needle. Having done this he
placed them, one after the other, between
his lips, and sncked them slowly into
his mouth, and, to all appearance, swal-
lowed them. lie then walked around
the circle, with his mouth open, and al.
lowed the people to look into it but
nothing was TO dc seen of the needles.
He then took crystal ball. about the
size OF walnut, and, placing it between
his teeth. drew It into his mouth, and,
to all appearance, swallowed it---as he
opened his mouth, aud it was not visi-
bic. He then made an effort as if brin-
ging il up from his stomach, and cjoe-
tod il from his mouth--rcpeating this
performance several times He next
took a long piece Of thread, passing it
up ono uoslril and brought the end out
Of his mouth, moring it backward and
forward by the two ends--thc one han
ging out Of his nostril, aud the other
cut Of his mouth. lie then pulled the
string out utaliogciher, introduced il again
into his nostril by snuiEng it in, aud
seemed to swallow the whole piece Of
string. lie aeuin swallowed the glass
ball. ciecicd il, and Immediately after

with the needles strung upon it, This
