4 Pet Boa that Eats Quarterly.

The New Haven papers tell of a big boa constructor in that city, its history and its habits. The follow ing account is from the News: W.. J. Doris, one of the proprietors of the Doris Brothers circus, has on exhibition in the curio hall at Bun- nells Museum an African boa con strictor which, besides being a cu- riosity, has an interesting history. One day in 1869 the Rev. Dr. May lie of North Carolina, who was do- ing missionary work in Africa. found his little daughter playing with huge snake. Mir. Maylie was at first mortified, but after watching the child caress the serpent, and seeing 1t did her no harm he allow ed the child to keep the snake. For twenty years the serpent has been the constant companion of the young lady now the wife of Mir. Doris. It is 30 feet long, weighs PTS pounds and is 20 years old, The snakes appetite doesn't trouble it only four times a year, but at each meal it is fed at least fifteen chickens or rabbits. The serpent sheds it's skin four times a year and after that process has taken place he is given his quarterly meal. It is about ready to shed now and probably Friday or Saturday after noon will be fed on the stage in the cario hall. This boa is eight feet longer than any snake on exhibi- ton Tn the country"

Signs on an Egg.

Dick Worsham of Mexico, Mo-, recently had on exhibition a hens egg which was an object of great curiosity. Upon one side of the shell, which was of extraordinary size, could plainly be discerned a number of war ships at sea, peace fully gliding along upon the waters calm surface. Three vessels are plainly visible. Turning the egg gradually over, a seaport comes fully into view, resembling the har- Dor of Apia. The similarity is striking, indeed, and the Samoan matter at once enters the mind up- on beholding the egg, which is the product of a hen that some German neighbors of Worsham's brought over from the old country three years ago. The extraordinary fig ures upon the shell gre thought to have peculiar significance just at this time.
