UTILIZATION IN DISGUISE.
In 1852" said the professor. as
be drew the edge Of the razor across
nis thumb, Il was with Mcclellan in
the fight at Harrison,s landing. NY
company was stationed in an oat-
field consisting Of about fifteen
acres aud we were guarding a pom
toon bridge thrown across the Chick
ahominy. The morning after We
went into camp there was a great
commotion across the river aud We
saw a covey of quail circling round
and roaad and uttering queer cries
a. in great alarm. A corporal and
myself took our guns. crossed the
bridge and soon discovered what
caused the distress Of the birds. A
huge black snake had Been swallow
ing the eggs ON which the quail bad
been nesting, aud lay stretched out
at full length on the sandy beach
his body presenting a series of
knotty punches, which marked the
location OF the eggs. The corporal
was forshooting the snake at once,
but | prevailed on him to leave the
reptile in peace and await develop
ments at the same time promising
him some fun. We built a rude
corral around his snakeship and left
him 10 mediate over his evil ways.
We stayed in camp three or four
days, and the fourth morning the
corporal who was on guard reported
that the snake was making n pecu-
liar Kissing noise, aud acting as il in
great pain. Selling our guns we
went over to investigate, and on
looking inside the corral saw several
newly Matched quails strutting
around. The snake had its mouth
open aud every time he ragged opt
popped q young quail. Well sir we
stayed there over an hour watching
this singular accouchmcnt and
counted forty-six quails issue from
the snakes mouth. The eggs he
had swallowed three DAYS previous
had Matched out in his stomach and
caused trouble in the interior de-
partment, but by initiating his throat
he had been able TO rid himself of
the unwelcome guests. The queer
est part Of the incident was vet to
follow. The snake evinced great
interest III the Young brood, and the
next day We found him feeding
cracked oats to his family. The
cunning rascal bad burrowed under
the rails across The pnntoon bridge
and plundered the oat field then re-
turned TO the corral, masticated the
grain and administered il to his pets

sights down south during the war. y

The giaring evil of profanity was set
before the father of a little girl in its
real and shocking sinfulness by the fol-
lowing incident:
One Sunday morning, standing before
the mirror shaving, his w slipped,
INJECTING a slight wound. True to his
fixed habit, he elaculated the SINGLE
word t4GodI" and was nota little amazed
and chagrined to see reflected in the
mirror the pretty picture of his three
year-old daughter, as laying her dolly
hastily down, she sprang from her seat
on the floor, exclaiming, as she looked
eagerly and expectantly about the room:
s1s bod here?" IN
Pale and ashamed, and at a loss for a
better answer, he simpy said: "Why2"
"Cause l thought He was when 1
heard you speak to Him"
Then noticing the sober look on his
face, and the tears of shame in his eyes
rs he gazed down into the innocent.
tnSdiant face, she patted him lovinly on
hhhe hand. exclaiming assuringly:
2 ''Cal Him again, papa, and I dess
He'll surely come"
Oh, how every syllable Of the child's
trusting words cut to his heart! The
st1f, smallasoice was heard at last,

arms he knelt down and Courts, and

1t Was Real

As an illustration of how innocent
some are about the games their
husbands play the following is very apt:
A young man went home a few evenings
ago, and putting some change into his
wife's hand, said: "You may have that;
it is clear gain. 1 got it playing pin
pool" The wife had some very strict
ideas about gambling, and the husband
had been very careful to never let her
suspect that he ever played any game of
chance for money. The lady's knowl-
edge of games of chance where money
is lost and won is very limited; it is, in
fact, confined entirely to cards, of which
she has a horror. The wife. on this oc-
casion. jumped up gleefully as her hus-
band handed her the change, and said.
jokingly: ''That makes it real pin
money, don't it?" She was about to put
it in her pin-money bank when suddenly
she stopped, and turning to her hus-

is drawn a cobweb with a big spider in

insect is q round hole, cut out of the

four little disks of felt--two blue and
