How the Snake Gets q New Suit.

"Some people think that snakes only
shed their skins at certain seasons of
the year" said the keeper. That's
n mistake. If they are well fed and
kept right warm they change their coats
about every eight weeks through the
year" docs it pain themT" mot
a bit of it. You see the skin of a snake
does not increase in size As the reptile
grows, rs with us. 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 looscEs around the
lips. and the reptile rubs itself against
the earth or the rock in the cage, and
turns the upper part V the eye and
the lower part over the throat. Then
it commences to glide around the glass
case, all the time rubbing itself against
something until the entire SKIN is
worked oil. Sometimes this takes three
days; occasionally they get rid OF tho
encumbrance in a few hours. | don't
believe they have a bit of intelligence.
For all l feed them and are for them,
they would rs lief bite me Is any
stranger. l can handle a good many of
them safely, but it's only the knack of
the thing-not that they won't bite. but
that they can't get the chance"

inexpensive Happiness.

The most perfect home I ever saw
was in Little house. into the sweet in
cense of whose fires went no costly
things. A thousand dollars served for
a years living Of father, mother and
three children. But the mother was
the creator of n home; her relation with
her children was the most beautiful l
have ever seen: even a duh and com
monplace man was lifted up and en-
abled TO do good work for souls by
the atmosphere which this woman
created; every inmate of the house
involuntarily looked into her face
for the keynote of the day: and it al
ways rang clear. For, from the rose
bud or clover leaf which. in spite of her
hard ~housework, she always found time
to put by our plates at breakfast. down
to the story she had on hand to be read
in the evening. there was no intermis-
sion of her influence. She has always
been my ideal of a mother, wife and
homemaker. If to her quick brain,
loving heart and exquisite face had
been added the appliances of wealth
and the ENGAGEMENTS of wider culture,
hers would have been the ideal home.
As it was it was the best l have ever
seen.-itEance.

THREE FISHERS.

Three fishers went strolling away to the
stream.
To the babbling brook where the fishes
swim;
or speckied beauties they all did DIR am,
And each felt certain they'd bite for him.
FOR men will tramp from morning till night.
And suffer the fierce mosquitoes bite,
And drink to stop their grooming.
Three fishers strollcd into the market place,
Twas some two hours after the sur went
down,
And q look of gloom was on each mans face,
For at empty baskets they each did frown-
For men may FISH hut may get no bite,
And tined and ugly ga home at night,
And vent their wrath in grooming.
Three fishers stroiicd into the beer saloon,
Where the crowd sat round and the gas was
bright,
And each gaily whistled n merry tune,
And showed his fish with ssumcd delight.
For men will fisb, yea, AMI mcn will lie.
And boast n catching the fish they buy,
While inwardly they're groaning.
