or the door opened. and, funniest Of
all, to climb trees.
Our old house in the country was
built years and years ago.
The old trees are like the rocks
among which they grow, staid and
strong, and have stood the gales of
nearly century, and have given blos-
SONS and birdlings in the spring, fruit
for the babies in the fall, shade and
beauty at all times. Children and
squirrels had climbed the stout limbs,
but never a dog until Grant was a
year old. Then we found him perched
up in one of the trees, barking at q
squirrel. This was wonderful feat
for a terrier weighing about As pounds,
for the lowest limbs were as high as
a grown person could reach. He did
his climbing quickly, and as often as
the squirrels went after the apples,
Grant went after the squirrels.
Everybody and everything on the
place were friends Of Grant; in his
big heart there was love for the COW,
the cats and the chickens. Still, his
most intimate friend and campanion
in games was "Ben Roe" the two-year
old colt. Grant invented games and
taught them to Ben Roe, who, in his
turn, was quick to learn and of reten-
tive memory. Grant would take bar
rel-hoop or club in his mouth, and
present Ben the opposite end; then
they would start off at a gentle trot,
Grant all the time saying, "Grew-ow,
grew-ow." Now, when they played
what Grant called grew" they never
exceeded gentle trot; but when they
raced, they ran side by side at fear
full rate, each painting and determined
to win. The game was always brought
to close as soon as one of the family
found that racing was the order'of the
day. We liked to see them play "grew,"
as we considered it an intellectual
game, worthy of encouragement.

MINISTER WI TO THE WOMEN.
TIC Famous Chinese Omcial's Re-
spouse to . Toast for "The
LADIES'


The wise and facetious Minister WI
Ting-Fang made his appearance in q
new role the other evening at large
gathering where both ladies and gen.
tlemen were present, where he was the
most conspicuous guest. He was asked
to say 3 few words to the ladies, in re-
Spouse to toast to them. He said:
"When see SO many finely built wom-
en- confronting me, and I am called
upon to be the gallant of the mo-
ment, what can I'say but that I wish
for that moment only were not a
Chinaman-I should like to be an
American as I stand here, SO that
each one of you would appear as beau
tiful to me as you actually must be
when seen through your countrymen's
eyes. Alasl the slight differe nee in the
formation of my orbs cannot do justice
to the impression you make upon me,
individually and jointly and severally.
But there are some well-nourished fig

was standing there and emptied its
contents on the sleeping cat, says .
writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer. He
never lost an opportunity to play
joke on old Tab, or on the younger
cats, either, for that matter. He often
succeeded, when he was Gagged, in en-
ticing the cats close to the bars, when
he would seize their ears and pull them
until the victims fairly squealed.
This habit of his was well known to
= neighbor of mine, and once, when
she was visiting me with her baby, the
little one. unnoticed for the moment,
crawled up to the cage to have good
look at Jack. The mother saw it and
rushed to rescue the child, but Jack
was too quick for her and had grasped
it by the shoulders before she could
reach the spot. He had no intention of
pulling its ears, however, for he drew
it gently to the bars and kissed It
right on the face.

A DARING OPERATION.
How . Plucky MAN Removed an Al.
scess from the Left Side Of .
Reptiles jaw.

One of the most dangerous opera
lions ever performed (for the person
performing it, was done successfully
in Bronx park, when Curator Ditmar
removed an abscess from the left side
of the king cobra's jaw. Nearly 20 min.
utes were occupied in performing the
operation, and every instant of the
time Curator Ditmar's arms and hand
were within striking distance of the
fangs of a snake whose venom is the
most deadly of any poisonous reptile
known to naturalists.
The Bronx king cobra is the largest
snake of his species in captivity, near
~ 16 feet long. He was brought from
Singapore nearly year ago. Several
weeks ago q slight swelling was no.
ticed on the right of the cobra's jaw.
Ditmar was convinced that the cobra
had boil or an abscess, and, consld'
ering the value of the reptile, he began
planning to remove it.
This was the cobra's feeding time.
A six-foot coach whip snake, which had
been starving itself lately, was killed
and studded with half-dozen fat
frogs. The stuffed snake was taken
to the door Of the cage and thrown in.
In a twinkling the cobra had him by
the neck. He dashed around the cage
with the dead snake for five minutes,
and then slowly began to swallow it.
In doing so he lay in such position
that the abscess on his jaw was easily
visible, and within reach from his
door.
Ditmar procured a long pair Of
tweezers and glass syringe, and he
and Keeper Snyder opened wide the
door of the cobra's cage. At that the
snake edged away into corner with
his prey and dashed his tail up and
down the glass partitions. Snyder
took hold of the dead snakes tail and
pulled it toward him. The hungry
cobra tighten ed his hold. Snyder used
both hands and pulled until the head
of the cobra was within four feet Of
the cage door. Ditmar filed the
syringe from the snakes water pan,
and reaching in his arm squirted the
water all over the cobra's jaw and
around the abscess to moisten it. The
cobra did not like it, but hung on to
the dead snake Finally, Ditmar took
the tweezers and leaned in. With his
free hand he grasped the body of the
coach-whip snake within few inches
of the cobra's head, and twisted until
the shining white jaws Of the cobra
turned over, and then, with deft turn
of the tweezers, extracted the abscess
and jumped away. The operation was
performed, and the relief to the snake
was obvious, for he gulped down the
six-foot dainty in half minute, shot
over into his corner, curled himse up,
and went to sleep.-New York Letter

THE DlsosEDlEhT FLY.

4 ii .r . II So. e . +
In days some by there lived fly
Who longed the world to roam;
Declared he would seek better food
Than he could find at home.
His mother said, with soaking heaas
''Now don't you dare to go;
Miss Spider Fair may leave her lair
And she's q cruel foe."
"Ho! hot" laughed he, ''just let me sec
Her ladyship's black head.
I'm pretty tough and big enough
To fight her till she's dead"
He washed his face, then into space
lie flew with humming sound;
Above, below, now fast, now slow.
Till things seemed turned around
Upon some wood paper stood.
Not very far away.
Said Mr.. Fly, with winkinE eye,
''Ah! here's the place to stay.
''This shining sheet looks good to eat.
Ill crawl along and see
IT'S sugar paste, too nice to waste
Perhaps twas meant for me-"
He nearer came, as moth to flame
He trod the thickest part
When, 10! he found the sticky ground
Was neither pie nor tart.
s'Buzz! buzz! he cried (from side 70 sid,
He struggled to be free).
"Oh, mother dear. want you here
Meier more We'll disagree"
Annie Josephine Levi, in Good Houss
keeping.

dog of extraordinary intelligence.
He is the friend of every man in the
depot. His headquarters are in the
mailroom of the depot. Every truck
which is rolled to the incoming and
outgoing trains finds Jim perched
upon, it,. His chief duty is to guard
loose sacks, which are sometimes left
on the platform, ana to look after
the mailroom when the clerks are
away. No one dares to enter the
room while he is on guard. An at
tempt to go near mail truck while
proper guardians are away rouses his
anger and his voice. Some time ago
he drifted into the depot and took
up quarters in the mailroom. He has
been there ever since.
