Animal SNxImInern.

The elephant is good swimmer, and the wild animals of the cat family, the tiger, the panther, the jaguar and oth- CTS. do not hesitate to cross lakes and rivers. On the other hand, the domes- tic cat shrinks from immersion and drowns quickly. The nostrils of some small animals are so placed us to ren- der breathing very difficult when they are in the water. Among these are mice and rabbits, which will drown without sinking beneath the surface. Rats are excellent swimmers.
 Almost all birds except those which are distinctly natatorlal are nearly helpless in water. Small birds fin par. ticular have no power of propulsion, and, though they do not sink, they drown quickly. Even many species of waterfowl rise from the water with difficulty or not at all when their wings are wet. After a sea gull plunges and returns to the surface 1t stretches its wings so that they may be dried by the wind and sun before 1t attempts to fy.-Success.

The other day a big Irishman came hob bling up his steps and was admitted by an attendant, who ushered him into the office and called the doctor from another part of the house. Presently the doctor came llmping in just as the caller had done.

 "Begorra, sor." the Trishman answer ed, I'd first Ike to know phwat's the matter wid you"
