A Visitor from South America Who
Goes to the Ant.

A RECENT acquisition to the Zooloai-
cal Garden is young South American
ant-eater, whose apartments are in one
of the large cages in the elephant house.
This is said to be as rare an animal as
ever exhibited at the Zoo. The ant
eater is black in color, and when full
grown measures about eight feet from
the tip of the nose to the end of the tail.
The head is about foot long, the body
four and the tail three feet more. The
present one on exhibition is about half
grown, its head being about nine inches,
and body and tail about twenty inches
each in length. The body is covered
with bushy hair, and the head is similar
in many respects to the trunk of an ele-
plant, only differing from it in color
and shape, but having the bones of the
nose and jaws elongated into narrow
tube, at the end of which is little open
Ing, given the name of mouth, but de-
void of all teeth. The eyes are placed
low down. All its legs are clumsy
looking; the fore feet are provided with
long, sharp claws, turned in under tn
foot, so that when the animal walks al
the weight is borne on the outer edge OF
the foot. In South America the ant
eater is found east of the Andes and as
far south as Paraguay. When it wants
to feed it tears down the ant-hills with
its long claws, and when the occupants
pour out it captures them by the tongue,
which grows to great length, and
which is covered with glutinous
saliva. Thousands of the little insects
are eaten at a time in fhic uou rrL:-
species of the animal is of q different
order than the great ant-eater. One a.
its habits is to climb trees, which the
latter class are 10th to do, moving abont
but very little and remaining as quiet as
can be. 1t is impossible to feed the one
at the Zoo on its natural food, and as y
recourse they give this specimen soft.

takes with evident relish. PatladelDhia

literary matters came under discussion.
pending the after-introduction of the
young poets book. With the gravest
OF faces, after few moments, Lamb
said: 81 d-don't think, g-gentlemen,
that l h-have ever r-repeated to you
one OF my b-best poems. What s-say
Wll you h-have itP'' Nobody quite I'M
derstood what was coming, but all
could read the misohievous flash in the
eye that was usually so kindly, and the
demand for the poem was general.
Lamb quietly repeated, word for word,
one OF the poems from the young man s
book. The key was furnished to the
rest, when they saw the young poet pale,
then redden, and then fall back in his
chair, as astonished as if thunderstruck,
and as helpless as if paralyzed. Loud
cheers, clapping of hands, and demands
for more. Lamb bowed his thanks,
pretended not to remember any thing
else that he had lately written, and then,
under urging, repeated another, and yet
another, of the poems from the young
mans book-the budding poet mani
Testing symptoms of doubt whether he
was himself, whether any thing on the
earth was real, whether he had really
written the poems that up to that time
he had believed that he had-until he
heard a man declaiming them, and
claiming them for his own; man who
could not even have seen his unpub-
lished book. Louder cheers, and still
louder demand for yet another. The
fun, with all the sold uns " now thor
oughly instructed, began to grow {" fast
and furious" Lamb, who had previ-
ously retained his sitting position, now
rose and said:
"G-gentlemen, I have only been
g-giving you s-some little bits of m-my
p-poetry. But h-have one p-poem
that I am little p-proud of. 1 W.
wrote it a g-good m-many years ago.
This is h-how it begins:

and yet aware that in some unaccounta.
BILE manner he was being robbed-had
simply been tearing his hair. But at
this juncture he could restrain himself
no longer. He sprang to his feet, his
face ablaze, and burst out:
Gentlemen, this is too much! 1
have sat here, gentlemen, and heard
that man repeat poem after poem of
mine, claiming them for his own, and l
have borne it. But when hear him at
tempt to claim the opening lines of Mil
tons Paradise Lost"
That address, too, was doomed to be
cut short like the recitation. Rogers
averred that never, beneath his roof,
with all the merry madness that that
breakfast-table knew, had such storm
of laughter and applause gone over it,
as finished that speech and sent the
young man to his chair, for the time lit

the pressure of Lambs browning atroc-
ity.-Loadoaa Standard.

Charles Lamb-Amusing Stories of the
Stammering HumOrist.

LAMB was invited to meet a some
what mixed company. One was Mr..
D, retired cheesemonger, who had
been for years in some commission con-
nected with the poor-laws. He was q
pompous man, with grand affection of
having been born to the exalted position.
At one time in the course of the dinner
opinions ran at variance as to the proper
methods of dealing with pauperdom,
and Mr.. D. assumed very like
manner. Gentlemen" he said,
thrusting his thumbs into the arm-holes
of his vest, lying back in his chair, and
initiating his lungs to. their utmost Ca
pacity-" Gentlemen, should know
what am speaking of, with all my
years in the public service, and with my
opportunities for studying the DISPOSE
tons of these miserable and trouble
some paupers. Gentlemen, they are as
worthless and ungrateful as they are
and have been improvident. The time
has been, gentlemen, when had some
of the milk of human kindness in my
breast for these wretchs; but now ~
and he paused for moment in order to
let the conclusion come more over
whelmingly-"N- now," broke in Lamb,
with his poor, thin face all childish inno-
cence-"n-now, Mr.. D, | suppose
that m-milk is all m-made up into CHI
ch-cheese!i' Lamb received an invita-
ton on certain evening to be present
at a breakfast at Rogers the following
morning, to meet young author, whose
first volume of poetry left the, press
that day. He went trihe early and
reached the waiting-room while it was
vacant, Rogers not having come down,
and none Of the other guests having ar
rived. On table lay a copy OF the
young poets new book. Lamb picked
it up, ran through it, saw that it con-
tanned nothing of any special mark,
and then in few minutes
yet remaining, amused himself by
committing to memory three or four Of
the short poems it contained. The
guests arrived them the young

Poultry on the Farm.

To keep poultry on the farm is eco
nomical. When farmer keeps herd
of cows, flock of sheep, together with
horses and hogs, there is always room
on the farm for good stock of poultry.
Even when all the cows, sheep and hogs
are kept that there is room for, there is
still room for poultry. 1t is almost
necessity for every family to keep pig,
in order that the refuse and house Stops
may be utilized; it is in the same sense
that poultry are valuable-they are the
scavengers of the farm. There is a
class of fowls that require very much
room on the farm. Still, they do not
require room and attendance, and they
may be kept in such shiftless manner
that they will be found Improbable.
All kinds of poultry may be Kept, pro-
vided they may have the run of the barn.
yard; but they must be kept in such a
manner as to prevent their ravages in
garden and grain fields. Turkeys,
ducks, geese and hens may be kept all
summer without using one square yard
of room available for any other purpose.
Care should be observed, in providing
for ducks and geese, that they may not
have the privilege-for such they will
deem it-of fouling the water required
for the stock, or making themselves a
nuisance in any other manner
Young chickens and turkeys will require
some care for the first few weeks of their
existence; after that they may be trusted
to care for themselves to a great extent.
Poultry may be raised and flock of
hens kept, producing eggs all summer
without the outlay of one dollar for
grain. Sour milk from the dairy is very
good for young poultry, and there are
many other articles of refuse on the
farm that can be profitably used in the
maintenance of fowls. Now, why is it
that farmers do not indulge in the luxu-
ries of fresh eggs daily during summer
and also of fresh poultry more than they
doP / know that it is too often the case
that all the eggs produced on the farm
are sold for groceries and other small
items of household expenses. I know
that too often all the poultry are sold to
the butcher, and that sometimes the
farmer does not taste fresh egg or a
chicken during the entire year. This is
unwise. With little care sufficient
eggs can be produced not only to make
profitable item in the farmers income,
but also to enable him to crafty his
taste for fresh eggs as we'll. Poultry
may be produced as cheaply as any
other class of meat.-Boston Transcript.
