A writer for a prominent agricultu-
raj paper advises that all the younger
children Of the farm family be given
lambs as pets We think that this is
bad advice. Children should never be
given as pets any animal which in the
natural course Of things must sooner
or later be taken away, sold and killed.
This applies to sheep, chickens and
other poultry, pigs and quite often to
cats. A heller calf may be kept as a
pet, or colt. but not the others nam
ed. Then, If the pet sheep is of the
male sex, 1t will inside Of six months
develop into the biggest nuisance
about the farm. for ali the boys and
every hired mar will put In their spare
time teaching it how to bunS, c'd some
fine morning in early winter the cody

pinning knocked out from under him

SOLDIERS SHOWER BATH.


1t Was Literally Administered by a
Herd of Elephants.
A near relative Of mine was head Of
the Indian military police, and his win
ter circuit comprised the Looshai coun-
try and hill tracts. Herds of wild ele-
plants abounded In the district, which
contained two important Kheddahs.
The greater part Of our tour was
made by water, and once we were de-
talned several days In the bed Of a
river owing to the insufficiency OF
water for the draft Of our boats. Some
Of them lay high and dry; but the Of
fee boat, which consisted Of a single
cabin, with large doors fore and aft,
was in the stream. My friend sat in
this cabin, absorbed in official cor
respondence, while we explored the
shores,
Suddenly looking up, he was dismay-
ed to find herd Of about forty wild
elephants, beaded by vicious looking
leader, gazing steadily at the boat and
its solitary occupant. Stout soldier as
he was, he watched the leader with
considerable trepidation, for on his &C
ton depended that to be adopted by
the herd. To his immense relief, the
leader, after trumpet or two, turned
disdainfully, and crossed the stream.
He breathed sigh Of relief, and had
forgotten his lucky escape in the alb
sorption of work, when. swishl
through the cabin came dash after
dash of water. On the opposite side
stood the leader and his herd, with
well filed trunks. One after the other
administered the shower bath and
then retreated, leaving my friend thor.
oughly ducked and very rueful over
the damp condition of his government
papers and surroundings. but thankful
for his escape from worse fate than
wetting.-St Nicholas.

One That Was Remarkable Both In
Appearance and Action.
"A tornado that was remarkable both
In appearance and in action was one
that travelled from Texas across Okla
homa and Indian Territory in May,
1885," says Earl w. Mayo In Ainslee's.
"A man in Sherman, Okla, who had ex-
ceptional opportunities for observing
the storm, inasmuch as he was caught
up in it and carried several hundred
yards before descending to earth again.
is certain that 1t was not funnel
shaped. He says of it:
1T looked to me like great ball Of
vapor rolling over and over toward
me. When l first saw it distinctly, it
was at hill perhaps an eighth Of a
mile away. 1t seemed to be about $50
yards wide and 100 feet high. The mo-
ton was that of bali rolling over and
over, not spiral, and it came on rather
slowly, perhaps thirty miles an hour.
Whatever the ball of cloud struck was
lifted right off the ground.
at saw it pick up house after house
between the hill and me, and the cloud
seemed to be full Of flying boards and
timbers. When the ball reached Mrs.
C.'s, the house nearest me, 1t went
straight up off its foundations. The
house remained intact until 1t was
about twenty or twenty-five feet from
the ground, then 1t burst open and the
fragments few in all directions. 1t
looked like an exploding bomb. The
corn and cotton standing a hundred
feet on either side Of the storms path
were uninjured, but whenever the
cloud struck the higher ground 1t
spread out, covering wider strip OF
the surface.
"'When the cloud struck me, wen
up lightly and easily and the sensation
was not unpleasant, but / came down
hard and was badly shaken up, al
though not seriously injured. On the
highway north of Sherman fence wires
were torn from the posts and pounded
into the hard surface Of the road a dis
lance of two or three inches"

snakes, Legs.

There are two very finely prepared
skeletons of big snakes in the Nation
al museum in Washington, and in
making them ready for exhibition the
utmost pains were taken to preserve
the cartilaginous extremities of the
ribs, which with ordinary treatment
are lost Without these little pieces
Of cartilage the serpent's skeleton can
hardly be said to be complete. mas
much as they are the feet upon which
the reptile walks, as 1t were. In fact.
a snake walks on the ends Of its ribs
and in that manner achieves locomo-
ton.
Some big serpents, however, like the
boas and pythons, really have hind
legs, though they are quite rudimenta-.
ry. Pythons, you know. are construct
ors, crushing their prey in their tolls.
They have no poison glands, but they
can bite terrifically with their many
teeth, which turn inward like hooks.
so that a person once seized would
have little chance Of disengaging him
self save by chopping Off the head Of
the animal.
