Badgers as Woman’s Pets.

Spokane, Wash.—A fad haa been inaugurated by young women of Othello, Wash., which threatens to cause a rise in the badger market The fad is domesticating badgers for pets, and already several of these animals are enduring captivity. It is not an unusual sight to meet a badger in the street of Othello on an afternoon, in tow of its fair mistress The animals seem to take kindly to their new sphere and submit peaceably to the fondling of admirers.
