Aajr-Raieinu.

This is said to be a true snake
story; it is told by an Anglo-1ndian.
In the next bungalow a little boy
daily had his bread and milk on the
veranda sitting in a child's high
chair. He was as merry as cricket;
one heard him talking and growing
to himself, apparently, until one
morning, to my horror, saw him tap
ping the head of a cobra gently with
his spoon, saying Robbery, bobbery"
naughty, naughty. The snake was
quietly drinking the milk out of the
bowl, paying no heed to the child's
play.
A sudden noise or movement on my
part and the cobra would instantly
have turned and bitten the boy. Pres
emily down slid the reptile away into
some bushes, and got the men to go
and kill it. The child cried bitterly,
and said the snake had come every
morning and helped him with his
breakfast.

Hard on the Pin.

A western man has succeeded in
breeding what he calls a fenceless
pig This pig has only one eye,
which causes him to travel in a cir.
cular direction, and thus assures his
owner that he will always come home
and does away entirely with the neces-
sity of fences.
