A Sporting I'arsoa.

man. II forgot, I'll be there in a

lie hastily, therefore, picked up
the partridge he had shot, and,
putting it in his pocket, hurried to
the church. In the midst of the
ceremony something was seen to
be iluttering under his surplicc,
and in a moment, to the aStonish-
ment of everybody, out from its
folds flew the partridge, for it had
been more stunned than killed.
"Oh, dear. there goes that

vicar.

The snakes in the geological gar
dens in Philadelphia are shedding
their skins and putting on new
Easter clothing. The keeper of
the reptiles told reporter some
things about their habits and ma
ture which are quite interesting:
"Sone people think that snakes
only shed their skins at certain
seasons of the year. That's mis-
take. II they are well fed and
kept right warm they change their
coats about every eight weeks
through the year. Does it pain
themi Not a bit Of it. You see
the skin of a snake does not in
crease in size as the reptile grows,
as with MS. While the old skin is
getting smaller by degrees, a new
one is forming underneath, and
the other gradually gets dry.
When it IS ready to shed it
loosens round the lips, and the
reptile rubs itself against the earth
or the rock in the cage, and turns
the upper part over the eye and
the lower part over the throat.
Then il commences to glide around
the glass case, all the time rubbing
itself against something until the
entire skin is worked off. Some
times this takes days; occasionally
they get rid Of the encumbrance
in a few hours. There's only one
complaint to which snakes arc
particularly liable; that's innam-
nation of the stomach. The last
three boa constructors out Of the
twenty-five we once had went of
with that complaint, in spite Of all
the medicine we gave them.
