Cobra and Pigeon.

About five miles from Port Eliza.
beth, Natal, when out shooting, I saw
an instance of the complete paralysis
of bird by a snake; and though the
word fascination" commonly used
for this kind Of effect without contact
is perhaps wrongly employed, the
case was a good example of what is
usually meant by the term. 'Our at
tention was first attracted by some
thing moving on the branch of tree,
about ten feet above the ground. We
then saw it was Cape eobra, Of the
deadly kind, standing erect with only
the lowest coils of Its tail round the
branch, with its hood expanded, and
swaying from side to side. On going
nearer we saw, what we had not
noticed before, pigeon, sitting on
the branch, about yard from the
snake. 1t was perfectly motionless,
not crouched on the bough, but stand
ing up, and made not tile slightest
attempt to fly away. We shot the
snake, but neither the fall Of the
creature nor the report seemed to
"unfreeze" the pigeon, at first. Then
it did not fly, but slowly walked along
the bcugh i2to the centre of the tree,
where I suppose it remained until it
had recovered from the shock to its
nerres.-The Spectator.

In Brazil, according to French
commercial report, there is preju

to send excellent sewing needles to
that country, but they were wrapped

by their agents of the bad effect pro.

Saxony at once sent al consignment OF
needles perhaps inferior) packed in
pink paper. The Brazilian market
was theirs in very short time. The
Chinese absolutely detest green. A
French publisher was one day struck
with the idea of sending very pretty
and very elegant Chinese calendar to
the Celestial Empire. The article

A Flemish JaMbreaker.

Some new words have been neces'
sarily added to the English language
since the introduction of the horseleSs
carriage, and the Tocabularies of other
tongues have also naturally been SINH
larly enriched in all countries were
such carriages have become popular.
AWith few exceptions, allthese words
are technical, and their true signifi.
canoe is only understood by the cleo
trician and the machinist. The mem
bers of the Flemish Academy of An
vers recently determined to frame a
word which woald be readily intelligi-
BILE to all who understand the language
of Flanders and who have ever seen
a horseless carriage, and the result
was that after much deep thought they
framed tho following word:
"Snelpaardelooszond nderspoorwegpe-
trolrijtuig."
This euphonious word signifies "a
carriage which iS worked by means OF
petroleum, which travels fast, which
has no horses and which is not run on
rails" That is, from one point OF
view, fine example of multum in
parvo, but it may be questioned
whether one extraordinary long word
is preferable to half a dozen short
words.
The Flemish people, however, think
differently, and the Academy Of An
vers has been highly complimented by
them on its linguistic skill as seen in
this uniquistic skill as seen in tnid
uniaue word. New York Herald.

Mr.. Gregory's Wit.

Isaac NJ. Gregory is the only one OF
the famous newspaper humorists OF q
quarter os century ago who is in ac-
tive harness. He is and has been for
many years the editor of Judge. One
of Mr.. Gregory's most brilliant iests
was written twenty odd years ago in
reply to a statement made by Mr.. LIE
Due, who was our last Commissioner
of Agriculture. LIE Due had quar-
relied with the press, and someone
asked him why he didn'treply in kind.
Nonsense, he returned; II shall
wear no iackass' scalp at my belt"
10 this Mr.. Gregory promptly retort-
ed: "Oh, no, old fellow. You'll wear
it where lit grew" This ended the
controversy.-Saturday Evening Post.
