ShreWdness OF "A Mouse.

The wild mice of southern California
have a deadly enemy in the snakes
which abound there. In order to avoid
these reptiles the shrewd old mice take
possession Of the birds nests in the cactus
plants, and there rear their young. \
traveller states that he has seen an old
mouse run down the trunk Of a cactus
with half dozen young ones holding on
with their mouths TO various parts OF her
body. How they do this without being
injured by the cactus banks is a mystery,
for the barks are 50 sharp that snakes
never attempt to climb the trunks OF the
plants. Cincinnati Enquirer.

may reasonably infer that the black was

the processes then employed to the high
