Naturalist auckland Describes How n Py.
thon Takes His Dinner.
1t is not every one who has seen a
python take meal. 1t is usually averse
to dead food; but it is partial to II live
rabbit, or chicken, or u guinea-pig,
or by preference rat The python
seems to know that the rat will try to
escape and he gives it no time or
quarter. With Il rapidity that can hardly
be conceived he seizes the rat with his
mouth and the fatal coil passes around
the creature, squeezing all the life out
of it and reducing the body to the form
of an elongated sausage, which the
snake lubricates with its own slime
and swallows entire. If fowl is put
into a python's cage the snake some-
times seems to take no notice, and the
frightened bird, finding that no harm
comes to it, begins to rutfle its feathers
and to peck about. occasionally trying
its beak on the snakes skin. But after
awhile the end of the python's tail may
be seen to quiver with strange emo
ton, whilst the small, black. beady
eye is fixed upon the fowl. Suddenly
there is convulsion. The snake has
moved and the fowl has disappeared.
and can only be discovered by the end
of u feather or two protruding from
the coils in the python's neck which
have crushed the birds life out. In its
natural state the python will catch a
deer or wild pig and crush it in the
powerful coils Of its neck. There is {,
well-authenticated story of a large py-
thon having caught two wild sucking
pigs simultaneously, crushing both with
the same coil of its neck. In the case
of the python mentioned above, which
was killed by the horns of the buck that
it had swallowed, the snake must have
been able to break all the bones of the
body. but the stag's horns were proba-
bly, too sharp and pointed to be easily
crushed. and tho snake rashly took tho
chance of digesting them in its stomach.
No stories of python killing man ever
came to my knowledge, but ono of the
keepers at tho Calcutta geological
Gardens had his arm much injured one
! morning by python coiling itself on II
and squeezing it severely before the
man could be acknowledgement

pressed his willingness to pay the tax,
il the dog would stay with him any
longer than to obtain his midday meal.
$50 the years passed on. and day
by day there came to the graveyard
new visitors. who were always inter-
ested in Bobby and his story, and who
tried more than once, but In vain, to
get possession of him.
"Finally eight years and a half had
come and gone since Bobby began his
faithful vigils, the old curator died.
and new one took his place. This
new one was the clever old Scotchman.
with kindly face and broad Scotch ac-
cent, who showed me around the
churchyard, and told me about BOBBY.
and pointed out the spot where his
master lay.
"Bobby lived four years after tho
new curator came, and though by this
time he was growing old and feeble.
he still crept every night in fair
weather or rough, summer and winter
alike, to his masters grave.
.'At last, twelve years and half
after he first came to the spot with the
few mourners who attended Grny's
funeral, faithful Bobby died, too; and
il there is Heaven for dogs, firmly
believe that he has now high place
there, along with Dr. Browns 'Rab.
Walter Scott's MAZDA, and all other
noble dogs.
"Gray's grave has no longer mourn-
er, and would long ago have been for
gotten but for the old curator, who
shows the spot to each newcomer and
never tires of telling of the faithful dog
who guarded it every night for nearly
thirteen years.
"Soon the old curator must die, too.
if he is not already dead. and there
will then be left only the fountain by
the church-yard gate to remind the
passers-by of dear. faithful, homely
little Greyfriar's Bobby"
"That was good story. said Helen.
with sigh of satisfaction.
"Yes." said her father. who had
come in unnoticed and heard the last
of the story. ut reminds me of say
ing I once heard: "A mother and
dog are tho only two things in the
world that seem to have absolutely
disinterested love. '"-Delia W. Ly-

ENGAGED YOUNG MEN.
"A jewelers. Clerk Tells How They Select
Their Rings.


Il Their Rings.
/ "It's funny to see the different ways
in which various men select engage
ment rings. and when a man comes in
here for that purpose every clerk in the
store can recognize the fact at once.
Df course he has only come in to look
at some watches or Il pair of sleeve
buttons, but the very manner in which
he avoids the ring case betrays him at
once. After few minutes, when he
feels a little more ut his ease, he
usually takes the clerk into his conf
dence and asks to be shown some soli-
taires If it's his first venture and he
doesn't feel quite sure of his ground he
will even 90 so far us to ask if solitaires
qrcn't sometimes used us engagement
rings. The clerks answer usually re-
moves the last vestjge Of doubt. and
then the purchaser throws aside all re-
serve aud selects from the assortment
before him the ring which strikes the
happy medium between the depth OF
his affections and of his pocket.
"O.hcr men, again. walk in with the
news just beaming from all over them.
; Engaged is visible from the top OF
their heads to the so!es of their feet.
The purchaser of this class makes no
secret of his errand. and usually de-
parts on his way rejoicing in very
short time.

averaged three engagement rings a
day." "--JeWclers' Weshty.

How to Manage Manure.

Mr.. Waldo +. Brown, noted Ohio
farmer. says it is common practice to
throw the manure from the stable out
of window and allow it to accumulate
in heap against the barn, whore it
rots tho building and often contamin-
ates the air of the stable. Fresh manure
should never be left in IL conical heap.
Probably the best way to manage 1t is
to spread it evenly in IN adjoining
shed in which stock is kept loose to
tramp 1t. II. however. it is put out Of
doors it should always be wheeled
away from the building and mixed with
the cow manure and waste from the
straw-stacks. IN y. Witness

WHEN AND Why SHE CRIED.

She cried awhile in the morning
Because she walked too soon;
She cried again at breakfast,
She hurt her mouth with spoon.
She cried when mamma kissed her,
"'Cause 'twasn't the hurted spot"
And next she cried for sirup,
Because she wanted lot.
She cried, when papa left her
To go with him to town;
She cried when she bumped her forehead,
She cried when she tumbcd down.
She cried to write with o 'pentil,"
Then cried to dip IL In ink;
rhe next time heard her crying
She had PAIN" think
She cried, she was so sleepy,
But didn't want nap;
She cried that mamma was busy
When she wanted to sit in her lap;
She cried because It was bedtime,
She thought 1t came too soon
And as she was carried away up.stairs
She was singing the same old tune.
Now. don't you think so many tears

Oh, what shall we do with Pearlie,

THE sIeIRl ROCK.
A Steep Climb Accompanied by the Mill

A Steep Climb Accompanied by the Mill
tary Commandcr OF Ceyl"D.
For the first time for number OF
years the Sigiri Rock in Ceylon has
been scaled by European. the feat on
this occesion being performed by Gem
eral Lennox, who commands the troops
in the island. 1t is said, indeed. that
only one other European, Mr.. Greasy,
ever succeeded in reaching the summit.
Tho rock is cylindrical in shape. and
the bulging sides render the ascent
very difficult and dangerous. There are
galleries all round, q groove about four
inches deep being cut in the solid rock.
This rises spirally, and in it are fixed
the foundation bricks, which support a
platform about six feet broad, with a
chunam-coated wall about nine feet
high. The whole structure follows the
curves and contours of the solid rock,
and is cunningly constructed SO as to
make the most of any natural support
the formation can afford. In some
places the gallery has fallen completely
away. but it still exhibits flights Of fine
marble steps. High up on the rocks
are several figures OF Buddha; but it is
mystery how tho artist got there, or
how, being there, he was able to carry
on his work. The Notifications consist
of platforms, one above the other, sup
ported by massive retaining walls, each
commanding the other. Owing to the
falling away OF tho gallery the ascent
In parts had to be made up perpen-
dicular face Of the cliff, and General
Lennox and four natives were loft to do
the latter part of the ascent alone. The
top they found to be n plateau about an
acre in extent In which were two square
tanks, with sides thirty yards and tif-
teen feet respectively In lcngth, cut out
Of the solid rock. A palace is believed
to have existed on the summit ut one
time, although time, weather and the
jungle have obliterated all traces of It,.
During the descent the first conner had
to guide tho foot ot the next into safe
fissure; but all reached tho bottom
safely in about two and half hours, -

AMERICAN WOMEN.
Some OF Those Who Cut Quite q Figure
in European Politics.

Some OF Those Who Cut Quite q Figure
in European Politics.
The two most powerful republican
statesmen in France are married to
American women. Waddington was
married to an American woman in En-
gland, and Clemenceau was married to
u Yankee girl on her native heath.
Waddington is the son of English
parents, but native of France and a
thorough Frenchman in tastes and in
stincts. Clemenceau, when he was
exiled from his country in the time of
the Little Napoleon, settled for awhile
in the United States and taught school
in Connecticut.
There was bevy of marriagcable
young girls in his set. and all were ell
gagged to wed but one. He persuaded
the one to accept him, and the last en-
gagged was the first to be married.
Clemenceau fastened home at the
breaking out of the Franco Prussian
war, fought for his country, and when
peace came, he took an active part in
politics. He is called an extreme
radical in France, but in this country
he would pass for conservative. He
is thorough republican, and is am.
bilious to plant the main stems of the
United States Constitution in France.
Mrs. Clemenceau is the head OF the
house. and has the pleasure OF know
ing that hcr husband Is one of the most
domestic and best regulated mon NOR
ally in French public life.
Some eminent British politicians, too,
are welded to Americans. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, Gladstone's first lieu
tenanti in command of the Liberal party,
is married to the daughter of John
Lathrop Motley, at one time Minister to
England. Harcourt bears the reputa.
ton of being gracious to his wife only.
He has the ugliest disposition Of any
man in English public life. He can
seldom say u kind word Of anybody
but his wife when a gruff word will an.
swcr as well. In this country he would
stand no chance in politics, but in En-
gland members of Parliament and pub
lie mon generally seldom come in con-
tact with the great body Of the people.
Harcourt can mount platform and
larrup the Tories for hours at time.
and that satisfies his Liberal constitu.
ents.
