ly-falen rain water thoroughly pleases them,
and if tempted to bathe, it is generally by
some shallow pool in the road which an hours
sun will evaporate
Cats, large and small make the most care
full toilets of any class of ANIMAL, with the
exception Of some of the opossums. The lions
and tigers wash themselves in exactly the
same manner as the cat, wetting the dark,
India -rubber-like ball of the fore foot and the
inner toe, and passing it over the face and
behind the ears The foot is thus at the
same time face sponge and brush, and the
rough tongue combs the rest of the body.
Sporting dogs, which are used In mud, snow
and wet are strangely clever and quick In
cleaning and drying their coats, and it is
sure sign that a dog has been overtired If he
shows any trace of mud or dirt next morn
ing.
Most of their toilet is done with the tongue,
but they are very clever at using bush or
the side OF haystaok as rough towel One
small spaniel which was allowed to live i'll
the house, was well aware that if he returned
dirty he would not be admitted indoors.
About an hour before the close OF the days
shooting he used to strike work and begin to
clean himself, and if urged to do more, would
slip off home and present himself neat and
clean in>the dining-room.
One day the dog had been left at home, and
his master returned and seated himself, wet
and with halffrozen drops of ice sticking to
his CATERS, by the fire.
Pan ran up and carefully licked off the fro.

then to give an anxious look, which said as
plainly as possible:
"Dear me! If I don't get him clean quick

Billy's Invention

Tilhe heard the men running across the
fields. Then she groped for the ropes they
were gone. Billy's fire escape had broken
loose, and tumbled down on the shed roof;
but it had frightened off the thieves and
saved Billy's aunt in the hour of danger.
Ten minutes later, Billy's voice rang
through the house. and, in less time than
that Billy had unfastened the trap-door in
the roof. and assisted his aunt to descend
from her lofty perch.
Billy" his aunt said, when she had recov-
cred somewhat and had ascertained that the
thieves were frightened off without getting
her savings, "our bargain was that you get
no boots till | said your invention eaInt 'em,
wasn't it?"
Yes, ma'am"
"You go and get those boots tomorrow. I
say your invention has earnt all I've got
And Billy, you may clear out the old lumber

A REMARKABLE POEM

The following poem of three stanzas has al
ways been regarded as one of the most unique
of literary curiosities, although the author is
unknown. The peculiarity is that each stanza
contains every letter in the alphabet except
the letter "e," which all printers viii tell you
is the letter most frequently used:
Bold Nassau quits his caravan,
A hazy mountain grot to scan;
Climbs jaggy rocks to spy his way,
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-01

Doth tax his sight, but far doth stray
Not work of man nor sport of child
Finds Nassau in that may wild;
Lax grow his joints, limbs toll in vain
Poor wight why didst thou quit that plain
Vainly for succor Nassau calls,
Know Zillah that thy Nassau falls;
But prowling wolf and fox may joy
To quarry on thy Arab boy.

S a rule, all animals are cleanly by
IAI nature. Even pigs will keep clean
@ if they are not confined in pen OF
MSSA yard. Brushes and combs most ami
mails carry with them, and ducks
and divers are always supplied
with oil in handy reservoir.
Birds especially are very particular about
the quality of their "toilet dust" and equal
ly nice as to the water in which they prefer
to wash. Some use water only, some water
or dust, others dust and no water.
Partridges are good example of the dust
ing birds, and are most careful in the selec-
ton of their dust baths. Dry loan suits
them best; but perhaps their favorite place
is q meadew where few turfs have been
removed. There they scratch out the loan,
and shuttle backwards under the grass roots
till their feathers are full of the cool earth.
In wet weather they find, if possible, heap
of burnt ashes on the site of weed fire, and
dust there.
Sparrows, on the contrary, always choose
road dust, the dryest and finest possible.
Meadow hrks, also, are fond of the road, and
dust there in the early morning. But they
too, have their fancy, and choose the dry,
gritty part, where the horses hoofs tread.
Wild ducks, though feeding by the salt
water, prefer to bathe in fresh-water pools,
and will fly long distances inland to running
brooks and ponds, where they preen and
wash themselves in the most vigorous and
thorough way.

The most curious of all the curious things
preserved in this wonderful manner are the
clay books of Nineveh. The chief library of
the city was contained in the Palace of Kan
yunjik The clay books, which composed its
contents, were sets of tablets, covered with
very small letters The tablets are all oblong
in shape, and when several of them are used
for one book, the first line of the tablet fol
lowing was written at the end of the one
preceding it. The writing was done when
the clay of the tablet was soft; it was then
baked to harden it. Each tablet was num-
bered Just as librarians of today number the

of a good Samaritan pig: A Pennsylvania
farmer missed one of his hogs, and for three
days was unable to find him. On the third
day, the hired man, while feeding the pigs,
trot across the lot and disappear in the thick
underbrush. She returned in about an hour,
and the man told his employer of the occur
renee, and the sow was closely watched
when the drove was fed again. She 'ate her
dinner, and then took a big ear Of corn in
brush She was followed quietly to little
hollow in the wood, where the missing hog
was discovered. One of his hind legs was
held fast by the stout and springy roots of
forks, on which he had stepped, and which
had spread under his weight and then closed
on his leg like wise The ground about was
covered with corn-cobs, showing how the
SOW, which had evidently been present when
the accident had occurred, had cared for
have perished, as he never could have escaped
from the trap he was in.
A New York man was the proud possessor
of large Poland China hog, of fine pedi-
gree. but SO fierce that, with the exeep-
ton of his owner, he would permit no one TO
approach him. The only other living thing
on the farm for which he ever had any
friendship was a. dominick hen, which was his
inseparable companion for more than year.
The hog had the run of a haIfacre lot, over
which he rO0ta6 and aOain for
emily no other purpose than to provide the
hen with worms, bugs and other insects.
The hog and hen could be seen any fine day
making the rounds, the hog turning up the
ground with his great snout and then grunt-
ing contentedly as the hen searched in the

water, ducks seem to prefer shower-bath to
any other; and in a heavy rain they may be
seen opening their feathers and allowing the
rain to soak in, after which they dress the

furrow. This was kept up until the hens
appetite was satisfied and then. the hog
would stretch himself in the sun for nap,
and the hen would either nestle in the dust
by his side, or perch on his body somewhere,
and wait for her big admirer to wake up.
When the hog was fed, the hen perched on
the edge of the trough and occasionally picked
out floating morsel. One day another pig
well until the hen perched herself as usual
on tie edge of the trough at feed time The
new, pig did not approve of this, and with
quick and savage movement caught the hen
by the neck and broke~it For moment
the big hog gazed at the ifeless body of his
friend, and then made one rush upon the
dominick's slayer, and with his long tusks
tore the offender SO that he died in few
minutes.
Among certain litter of New Jersey pigs
there was one black runt to which the own
er's children took a great fancy and taught a
number of tricks. One was to hide an apple
and send the pig in search of it. At this the
animal became very expert, until it seemed
that apple could not be hidden anywhere
that the pig could not find it. But the hired
man thought otherwise; so one day he tied
a weight to an apple and threw it into the
duck pond, where the water was about two
feet deep. The. pig went nosing around un-
til he reached the pond, hesitated a moment,
then jumped in. dived to the bottom and
reappeared with the apple in his mouth.
The very next day, while the children were
in great glee over this performance, the pig
disappeared, presumably stolen by some
jealous neighbor. Two years later, while
the farmer was in town on business, he pur-
chased black hog that pleased him and
brought it home. The hog was driven into
the yard, where he stopped, looked critic
ally around the premises, and then, with a
grunt of satisfaction, trotted to one corner
Of the yard, where he rooted for few
and dived beneath the water When he re-
appeared and swan ashore, he looked dis
appointed; but the farmer and his family
were delighted, because they had recovered
their pet.
