BRAVE MAMMA HIPPoPoTAMUS.
An Incident Showing That Somewhere in
the Huge Animal Lies q Brain.

An Incident Showing That Somewhere in
the Huge Animal Lies a Brain.
The hippomotamus is not generally
credited with great intellectual power,
but it seems from the following Incl
dent, taken from the Popular Science
Monthly, that somewhere in that mass
of flesh and fat resides q brain prompt
to act when necessity demands. For
several weeks tie wonder an delight
Of an English geological park was a
baby hippopotamus, which was named
Guy Fawkes because it's birthday fell
upon the 9th of November.
The young hippopotamus was about
the size Of a bacon pig, of a pinkish-
slate color, and as playful as a kitten.
1t vas only three days old when, as
the superintendent of the zoo was
watching the little fellows antics, it
dived to the bottom and did not rise.
The grown animals never remain un-
der water much longer than three min
utes; so as the time went on and no
baby r%eappeared, the superintendent
became alarmed.
When twenty minutes had elapsed
he gave orders that the water be
drawn from the tank to recover the
body Of what he felt sure was a dead
baby hippopotamus. As the plug was
being removed Sbung Guy Fawkes ap
peared, shaking his funny little horse
like ears, and wearing a hippopotamie
grin, which stlAmed to say, Don't be
frightened: I'm all right. You don't
know all about me yet" The young
animals have a great power of re-
naming under later, which they lose
as they increase in years.
The next time baby went to the bot
tom, however, was not so much Of a
joke. He. tried to climb up the side of
the tankain which there were no steps.
He felL back again and again, until
he san.sexhausted. The keepers were
gathe8I about the tank in great anx-
iety, MT unable to help. The mother,
howeper, hurried to her baby with all
her f1amsy haste. She diyed, put her
broak1 nose under Guy FaWkes, SHOW
eledftAim up, and held him above the
surfTce until he had recovered his
brgggth and was rested.
II was nearly half an hour before the
LITTLE fellow was able to make another
attempt. Then he made a huge effort,
Mamma Hippopotamus gave a big
shove with her head, and Master Guy
Fawkes clambered triumphantly up
the side of the tank.

Smuggling Popular.

Smuggling was very generally prac-

London journal says: Hardly a fam

at Heron Court with the last of the

Anglo-Saxon English.

There is an old fallacy that Anglo.
Saxon words / best. The fallacy is
based on the belief that words of An
glo-Saxon origin are more simple and
vigorous than those derived from Lat
in. In point Of fact, some Anglo-Sax-
on words are obscure and long, and
many of our commonest, most simple
words are from the Latin. The Lon
don News tells a story in point.
A barrister more remarkable for the
vigor of his address to juries than for
his learning was commenting on the
proceeding Of the other party in a ease
under trial.
II do not know what gloss my
learned friend is going to put upon this
matter, but / will not mince my words.
I denounce 1t in plain, downright An
glo-Saxon English as a nefarious
transaction.

Hollyhocks,

In old times the hollyhock was the
most formal Of all flowers, says Wo-
mans Home Companion. For a cen
fury after it's Introduction there was
no change In it's form or the dull tints
Of Its c%olorings; in fact, it attracted
but few devotees. However the holly
hook isDcoming In to its own, as the
hybridAers have taken 1t In hand, and
we now have the blooms single and
double. Of all imaginable shades and
colors-resembling the quilted asters,
rivaling In form the choicest frilled
and incurved chrysanthemums, and
others as round as the flower of a
peony-and the seed has been selected
SO severely for early blooming that
they can now be had in bloom from
seed In one season. Give them a per-
manent location In the hardy bed or
border, or plant them in clumps to
hide unsightly places. The soil cannot
be too rich for them, and it should be
deep and mellow and we'll enriched
with we'll rotted manure. Mulch in
hot weather. When the frost kills
the stalks in the fall, cut them off and
cover with manure twelve inches
deep.
