PLAYING Planting.

This game is a play upon words,
which can best be taught by examples.
After one catches the. idea 1t can be
worked out indefinitely. For instance:
IF | plant fop and n wild beast,
which will come up? Give II up?"
"A dandelion dandy lion), of
course"
Another: If | plant two or three
Persian governors. what will come
up? Fuschias fcw shahs).
Another: If | plant several fearful
Shakespeares, what will come up?
Weeping willows (Will-Os)
It will be understood that much
license is permitted to the planters,
in the way of pronunciation as well as
spelling, and herein lies much of the
fun. One audacious youngster de-
manded what would come up If herd
of buffaloes were planted, and when
the crop was not forthcoming coolly
answered "Hidey rangers thydran-
geas).
Mary and her little lamb were made
to come up as petunia tpet too

At the Zoo.

~ NuC [oO.
The other day at the Zoo a crowd
had collected in front of certain
cage in the house devoted to reptiles,
or snakes as we best know them. An
attendant called the attention to a
beautifully marked cobra, who was in
the act of shedding its skin. Until
now it was thought that the snake
simply cast off the old skin and dom
ned the new one, very much as boys
and girls do their soiled clothing. The
cobra. however had much more seri-
Gus proposition to cope with. His
head and neck protruded from the
gray leathery-looking skin which he
had evidently just outgrown He wrig-
gled and writhed with great effort,
drawing his body from the covering.
The new skin was a gorgeous black
and orange one OF indescribable beau
ty and fineness, The old skin was
gray and like washboard in its
roughness as it lay revealed after l.
was discarded. 1t uncoiled itself as
the cobra writhed out of it, laying as
a ribbon might behind. The cobra
struggled and worked, an inch at
time of new skin being the result.
Other cobras lay in the cage-one in
the garb of the unshed snake. two
others in their black and orange COW
ering. AS the shedding cobra strug-
gled. one of the others, as If seeing the
need for help, crawled to it and lay its
body on the old skin. holding it firmer
that the cobra might better succeed
in what he was attempting. Still an
other friend in need came to his res
cue. and, thanks to the efforts of these
who lay firmly on the resisting old
skin, the cobra was every few minutes
more and more of his vivid
black and orange. There was a stone
structure in the cage looking like a bit
of ornamentation. The cobra crawled
toward that, and drawing its resisting
old skin to it, rubbed itself upon the
of the stone. Aided by
this and the weight of the other two
cobras. the Old skin was finally shed
and the cobra was thing of beauty
