SNAKE, CAT AND OLD HEN.

Biddy Disposed OF the Ophidian Neatly
by Swallowing I, Alive.
Mrs. J. j. Edison discovered that the
house cat and a snake were having a
battle in the yard, and called Mr.. Edison
to the rescue of kitty. But Mr.. Edison
was more curious to see the fight 90 on
than he was anxious to rescue the cat,
especially as the cat did not seem anx-
ious to be rescued. The snake, which
was of the species commonly known as
the spreading adder" and about Is
inches long, would curl itself into posi-
ton time and again and strike vlciously
at the cat. The cat must have had some
previous training under the Jim Corbett
system, for it's 1.-the body was just out of
reach of the reptiles poisonous fangs
every time. The cat retorted by bound
ing at it's snakeship with surprising
quickness, and with wide-open claws
would try to tear the body of the snake.
Sometimes the snake woIld spread out
it's head until it seemed twice its natur
al size. But this only made the cat use
her claws more swiftly.
The peculiarly fascinating battle scene
continued for several minutes, watched
batants at last took breathing spell.
seemingly quite tired. About the time
hostllities commenced anew, an old
hen with her brood of young chickens
appeared on the spot. The hen sided
with the cat and attacked the snake,
for the purpose, as Mr.. Edison thought,
of getting meal for the little ones, and
after pecking at it once or twice
caught it firmly just back of the head
and shook it violently. The little
chicks thought that they would have a
picnic. But not SO; the hen deliber-
ately swallowed the whole snake be-
fore it was dead. The little chicks
looked disguised on account Of their
mothers gluttony, while pussy en-
viously bristled up at seeing the hen
whip the snake clean ''out of sight"
MIR. Edison says the snake was swal-
lowed with great difficulty, and he was
amazed to see the hen accomplish the
feat of swallowing SO large a thing.
The spreading adder is very poisonous,
and it is wonderful that the hen did not
die. Beyond appearing to be gorged,
and consequently stupid for d short
while, she appeared to be in her usual
good health, and up to last accounts
there are no little orphan chickens at
Mr.. Eidson's.- Union Springs (-4la.) Her.
