Hedgehog and Viper.

A resident of Versailles, NJ. Guignet.
sends to Nature vivid account of Il
duel he saw between hedgehog and
"a viper. The two enemies knew very
well at first sight who was who, and
|eyed each other as if they knew Il
moments inattention would be fatal.
|The viper was the first to get tired Of
gazing, and it began to glide away.
Just then the hedgehog rushed for the
|yiper's tail, and, having nailed it fast
with it's teeth, it rolled itself up. The
hedgehog was very careful, however,
mot to cut the tail off. The viper
|curled back and delivered furious as
|saults on its aggressor, wrestling and
rolling with the curled up hedgehog all
lover the place. At length the snake.
wounded in a hundred places, died.
The hedgehog began it's repast on the
tail Of it's victim and was careful not
to eat the head.

The Value OF the Ruby.

The ruby is valued highest when it
contains the least azure. The largest
ruby that history speaks Of belonged to
Elizabeth of Austria, the wife of
Charles IX. 1t was almost as big as a
hens egg. The virtues attributed to
rubies are to Danish sadness, to repress
luxury and to drive away annoying
thoughts. At the same time it SYM
bolizes cruelty, anger and carnage, as
we'll as boldness and bravery. A change
in its color announces a calamity, but
when the trouble is over it regains it's
primitive luster.

"Patagonians are not giants, as some
have supposed and as the Biographies
teach,' said a man who has Travelled.
"They are large in comparison with the
other South American natives; that is
all. Everything is relative, you know.
But they are very fat. That is Why
they can stand the cold so we'll I have
seen Patagonian men and boys running
around unclad while | was wrapped in
warm garments, with the SNOW falling
upon them in quantities and the wind
