A Strange Pittsburg Pet

A family residing in Soho has per-
United States. 1t is a harmless garter
snake, and perhaps measures two feet
in length. 1t was found among some
fowcr-pots on window-sill one morn
ing, and as the family has never had
that aversion TO snakes which is so
general, it was allowed TO remain in
the house. and soon became domesti-
Gated. Its name is Cleopatra, and it
comes gliding over the floor to whoever
calls it. 1t is very affectionate and
constantly sleeps with some of the
younger mem bers of the family; but
perhaps its most singular attribute is
It's love for music. When anyone plays
it Immediately draws near the piano,
and never rests contented until placed
on top of the instrument. Recently the
family were surprised 10 hear some odd
musical notes proceeding from the par
lor. They formed tune something
like "Sweet Violcls, which has long
been favorile air and frequently
played by one of the members of the
family, daughter aged 16. TO whom
Cleopatra is very much attached. On
proceeding TO the parlor the pet snake
was found upon the Keyboard attempt
ing to strike out the notes on the keys
with its tail. With little aid and
much practice it has continued its
musical studies until it can now play
Sweet Violets," yankee Doodle"
"Hail Columbia" and several other
things. 1t is fed entirely on milk. and
crackers soaked in sweet tea, and Is
without doubt very singular instance
of animal life bordering upon human
intelligence.-Pittsburg Chronicle.

How Mrs. O'Harris Turned.

The other night laboring man
named OHarris was drinking beer and
playing cards in Grand River avenue
saloon, when somebody asked him
what sort of wife he had.
1.-THE humblest, docilest little wo-
man in all this world" he replied.
Doesn't she ever say anything about
your spending your evenings away
from home?'
"Never word"
"And has she no objection to your
spending half your wages in beer and
cardsp"
''If she has she doesn't state 'em."
"But won't she turn on you some
dayp You know that even worm will
turn"
Faith and she will that. I've been
going on in this way for the last four
teen years, and for tho last two I've
been looking for n climax. A wife
suffers about SO long and then she turns
on YOU"
Not more than five minutes had
passed, and the men were busy with
their cards, when woman opened the
door and slipped in. She stood for
moment to get a range, and then mado
a bee-line for the laborer. Of went
his hat, the hair flew in showers, and
over went the table with its glasses
and cards. Five or six badly frighten-
ed men rushed out doors in body, the
last one helped along by push from a
chair, and as the laborer took the mid
die of the street and gathered himself
together for some tall running he cried
out with lump in his throat:
''Its my wife, and she's turned at
last I'd like to see the worm which
would upset seven men and saloon in
the elegant manner just witnessed in
e!-Detroit Free Press.
