A Mocking Birds Dance.
From Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.

From Appdetons Popular Science Monthly.
With bodies stiff and straight as an ar
row, head erect and feathers fattened
wings dropping loosely forward. but tails
elevated at as an acute an angle to the
body as possible, the dancing solemnly be-
gins The eyes are steadily fixed, and as
methodically as any; soldiers upon drill
they sturdily go through the movement Of
bounding. rising quite high, and descending
in very nearly the same place each time
from one end of the playground to the
other, back and forth, always keeping the
line about foot apart. AS each one nears
mis- or her corner, each slowly and digni-
nedly turns complete circle, then again
faces the other, always .diagonally, and
slowly bounds back, to repeat the move
ment at the other end. Sometimes both
will turn away to look off at some distant
object, just as a cat will apparently forget
the mouse she is tor1nenting. That how
ever. seems to be only part Of the GER
emony, for soon both turn back and the
dance Is resumed.
One day CHANGED to witness one Of these
pretty sights as 1t took place beneath the
wide-spreadfng branches Of a large orange
tree, but the scene was interrupted quite
Unexpectedly. Just at the most graceful
part Of an intricate pirouette a very puffy
and motherly old hen, who. with an unlim-
tied number of offspring. had been serenely
picking up a dinner close by, evidently felt
sudden Impotence at the sight Of all this
folly, for, to my surprise and amusement,
she made quick rush and dashed between
these happy Knockers, startling them al
most out of their senses Instantly the at
and distinct streams Of silksplitting fire,
each fully rod long, as the two angry
birds departed for the protection of q
neighboring lemon tree.

fish, but it is larger than the old darkv
had ever seen. for the species of the Allan
tic slope never grow above sixteen mounds
But Wilkinson ignored the inaccuracy and
replied:
No Fool Catfish.
THAT was pretty large catfish, uncle.
but heard of one that was caught in the
MISSISSIPPI last week which was over four
feet long and weighed one hundred and
sixty-one pounds. There are two kinds in
the swamps and rivers of Africa, called
Clarias and Porous, which grow to be over
SIN feet IN length; and silurus glanis, of the
rivers Of Europe, sometimes weigh as
much as four hundred pounds"
The old man expressed no establishment,
and MS countenance did not change. He
accepted it quietly as the natural sequence
OF his own yarn, and that it should be of
heavier caliber was. of course inevitable
He sat with his eyes fixed ;ntentIy on his
llIic anu was eNluently mastering his fac
ulties for another effort. But Wilkinson
said to me:
There are really some curious things
about the catfishes, and, taking them all
together, / think they are about the most
interesting of the orders. You know most
fishes are cannibals, and will devour their
offspring as 500 as they are Matched or
their eggs as soon as they are laid, for
that matter. but the catfish is different 1t
is wonderfully careful or It's yo.ng, and
swims around followed by it's brood just
like an old hen with her chickens. If they
are attacked they skurry to her, and she
will fight for them with the greatest fierce
ness Some species are nest-builders. They
will construct a regular nest, and when
the eggs are deposited the male will de-
fend it with the courage of a hawk. Did
you know about that, uncle?"

A Wonderfully Small Horse.


Ohio lays claim to having the smallest
horse in the world, being now two years
old and only thirteen inches high. 1t was
born on the farm of Israel Hunton, in Or
ange county, Ohio, and is regarded as one
Of the most remarkable freaks Of the
world. While now about two years old,
this interesting bit of horseflesh is only
thirteen inches high, and is undoubtedly
the smallest equine specimen on earth.
Dot, as the midget is called, has a remark
able history, for, unlike other dwarfs of
her race. she was the product of an ances-
try of ordinary, everyday horses.

Electric Light I'm Indian Temples.


The temples Of India are to be lighted
with electricity, the example having been
set by the great shrine of silva, at Kochi-
caddie, near Mutwal, in Ceylon, and is to
be speedily followed by the equally vast
and ancient foundation of the Nstukotta,
in the same island. In no long time others
will adopt the same improvement, till all
the holy places of the peninsula are so
equipped that by pressing a button they
can be instantly ilumir atei, like modern
hotel or theater. The innovation is enough
to make silva and Nisbnu, and even the
great Grahma himself, gasp and stare.

The Joke on the Jokers.
From the Philadelphia Record.


Tricks played upon bridal parties don't
always turn out as the jokers intend them
to. In the baggage room at the Hotel Han
over is an old trunk, gaily decorated with
white ribbons, old shoes. bags Of rice and
other articles supposed to be emblematic
of the marriage rites. The trunk bears a
tag, on Which is written the names of the
bride and groom, but 1T has never been
claimed. The suppostion is that the trunk
is merely a dummy. The bride and groom
evidently sent their own baggage away
and left the old trunk as decoy, and the
jokers have had the tables turned on them.
