Some Queer Pets.

Queer pets are a fashionable fad with
women whose time hangs heavily on
their fair hands. The laxative old
parrot and dainty canary have reason
for genuine jealousy when their places
are usurped by owls, or chameleons, or
Brazilian fire beetles in jeweled har-
nesses. Little white owls are exceed
ingly interesting birds, and quite intelli-
gent. They show in many ways that
they deserve their reputation as birds
of wisdom. The Indignation and con
tempt which they exhibit toward teas
ing boys, and the sly, decisive way they
punish such offenders with q blow of
the beak. not less than their bland,
~patrunizing manner toward older per.

ing. The usual way to keep a chame.
leon is a box with a glass top and
squares Of different colors on the bot
tom. The gradual change Of the
creatures color after he crawls on a
different square is not less interesting
than the dignity and avidity with which
he opens his pale pink jaws to receive a

Streakit sam.

In a town of the Old Colony, in
Massachusetts,, there formerly lived q
man who was in his own way some
thing Of a character. When a boy, ac-
cording to the tradition, he was running
to head off a deer, of which he and his
father were in pursuit, when the old
man shouted after him, Streak it,
Sam" Sam ''streaked it'-whether
or not he headed of the deer. we are
not informed-and was known thence
forth as ''Streakit Sam"
Streakit Sam lived on the banks of
one of the beautiful ponds with which
the town is abunlantly supplied; but
while he was a lover of sport he was
also 4 strict obs Arver of Sunday, and
would neverallCw any fishing on that
day. Less scruI alous persons had more
than once tried 10 hire his boat for that
purpose, but ;'ways in vain, and one
Sunday SOME >portsmen determined TO
steal what til = could not get 10y honest
means.
The boat vas found neal the shore,
out of sight Of the house, but almost
half full of water from a heavy rain of
the night before. The men worked with
true iisherinan's patience TO bail it out,
laughing and joking softly all the while,
though it took a long time to empty so
large a boat with SO small a bailing
dish.
