AnIntAlli9ant Goat.

The San Diego (Cal.) Herald relates.
an incident displaying remarkable intel
igence on the part Of q goat. A citi-
zen Of the place has two goats, and to
prevent their doing injury to the gar
dens of the neighbors one is usually
picketed out, the other never leaving
its mate. The other day one was pick
eted some distance from home, and at
evening the loose goat came running to
the house, making bleating noise OF
distress and scratching against the gate,
and after drawing attention would run
off in the direction where the other one
was picketed. This operation was re-
peated three times, when the owner con-
cluded that something was the matter,
and started in the direction indicated.
Nothing could exceed the joy of the
goat, manifested by jumping and frisk-
ing about, and it led the way to the
spot where the other one was. Here the
picketed animal was found to be in q
precarious position. It had climbed a
tree stump, and the picket rope had
caught in a broken limb, and the goats
fore feet were held entirely off the
ground. He was quickly released, when
the goat that gave the alarm repeated
it's demonstrations of Joy, snd showed
it's affections for it's mate by rubbing
against it and licking it.

inches in diameter, clinging to pieces
Of rock, and among them several young
halibut. Near the front, in plain view
of the writer the other day, was q half
but about five or six inches long in .
natural horizontal position, with his
nose Just touching the center or mouth
OF the anemone, apparently feeding.
Looking closer it was observed that
the anemone was in motion, and in q
short space it was doubtful whether
the fish or anemone was the eater.
Presently the Intellectual struggle Of
the fish to loose himself denoted his
capture. It seemed that the fnny ma
rauder had pushed his nose against the
innocent-looking mouth Of the plant in
pursuit Of food and was caught. The
face of the anemone, which had previ-
ously been flat and circular, ike its
namesake, the sunfower. became con-
cave and closed up and around the
head of the fish. elongating itself for
the purpose. and in about five minutes
the head was covered entirely to the
gills While closing the plant raised
the fish to q vertical position. Soon
the head was covered to the pills: ia
respiration almost stopped.
At this juncture the writer's pity for
the fish prevailed over his curiosity

Gastronomical and Otherwise.


IF you have cold roast of beef and
no gravy left, cut pieces of that fat off,
with some little, Drowned outside pieces;
put them in saucepan over hot fire,
and you will soon have foundation for
very good gravy, considering that it is
not from the fresh roast.
AN excellent entree is made of cab
bage which has been boiled until it is
tender. Drain it. Let it become per-
fectly cold, then drain second; then
chip it, and mix with it one tablespoon
full of butter, two well-beaten eggs, pep
per and salt to taste, and half teacup-
full of cream or milk. Use cream if pos
sible. Stir all we'll. Then bake brown
in pudding dish. Serve hot in the
dish in which it is baked. The dish
should be buttered, so that the cabbage
will not stick to it.
WHEN making the layer cake with
chocolate and cocoanut filling, the
quantity of each depends on your taste.
If you use great deal of the chocolate
you will not be able to taste the cocoa
nut, and this fact should be borne in
mind. Only enough chocolate should
be used to color it light brown, and to
give delicate flavor.
A NICE breakfast for one who is not
equal to hearty fare is made of toast and
eggs prepared in this way: Put lump
of butter in saucepan, and then drop
three eggs into it; stir briskly and con-
stantly, so that the eggs will be smooth
and not lumpv, Have two thin slices
of buttered toast ready, and when the
eggs are done lay them on one piece of
toast and lay the other lightly over it;
do not crowd it down and make the egg
run over the edge of the toast.
