THE CANNIBAL SNAKE.

He Had a Wonderful Appetite sunl Tri.-d to Satisfy It.

Tho Cincinnati zoo has a cannibal snake. Tho fact was discovered Saturday, when his snakeship was caught in the act.

Superintendent Sfephan some months ago placed in one of tho largo glass cages used for reptiles in the carnivora a lot of about 25 snakes of different kinds. Tliero were a couple of Florida gopher snakes and a number of houso snakes, garter snakes, black snakes and others.

Besides theso there was a fino specimen of pino snake, 7 feot long. Tho pine snake is of a cream color, long and graceful, and made a striking contrast with tho glossy bluo black of tho gopher. Some months ago one of the houso snakes disappeared. Superintendent Steplian asked tho keepers about tho disappearance, but they could not account for it. About two weeks later another snako disappeared. One after another tho houso snakes disappeared, but no explanation could lie had.

Recently it was noticed that tho garter snakes wero decreasing in number, and one by ono tin disappeared. Tho superintendent took young Meyer, son of tho old keeper, and who was a new hand, to task for Lis apparent neglect, but Meyer maintained his innocence. "Well, they don't evaporate, and they are disappearing ono by ono," said tho superintendent.

In time tho garter snakes all disappeared, and tho black snakes began to tako tlioir departure in tho samo mystifying way.

Stephan mado a careful examination of tho glass cago for about tho twentieth time, but could find no place where they could escape. Tho airholes were all covered with wire screens, and tho traps for feeding were in good shape. This was about two weeks ago, and Stephau was beginning to think that the keepers wero moro careful. Saturday morning he walked up to tho cage, and this time tho cream colored pine snake was not in sight. The gophers wore twisted up in a coil in ono corner, but tho pino snako could not bo seen. He called to young Meyer: "Whero is that pino snake?" "I am suro I don't know," said tho young keeper as liocamo forward to tho cage. "You let him out when you tended them this morning." "No, he was there then, and I left him there." "Well, if ho was there then and ain't there now, who else ouuid have let him out?" "I am sure I doi-'t know. IIo may bo thoro now, twisted up with tho gophers."

Meyer produced a long polo and reached with it into the cago. Ho turned over tho roll of snakes. "Thero ho is!" lie cried as a flash of cream color lit up tho dark background. Ho yanked the pile out to the front of tho cage, when a queer sight confronted him, which solved tho whole problem. But ono-half of the pine snake was visible, and that protruding out of tho mouth of ono of the gophers. "That gopher is a cannibal," said Stephan. "Yes. and that's how tho snakes have been getting out of the cago without my letting him out," said Meyer. "Haul them out, and let's try to savo tho pino," said Stophan.

Tho hook was thrown behind them, and gopher and pine snako wore dragged out into a largo tin pan. It would not do to make a pull on the tails of tho two snakes, as that would break tho fangs of tho gopher and prevent his feeding. Stephan then took a lead poucil and with it pried open tho gopher's mouth. He then inserted another pencil behind the fangs and pulled out the pino snake. They were then placed in separate cages and fod upon a liberal allowance of milk. For a few hours it was doubtful if tho pino snako would got well, but ho rovived in tho evening and is now out of danger.

The cannibal is now kopt in a cago by himself as an especial attraction. The gopher is a foot shorter than the pine snake.—Cincinnati Post.

Sad Deprivation.

A certain old Dr. J. in Boston, who died long ago, was famous among all his colleagues for his scientific delight in obscure diseases. Introduce him to a strange caso, and he betrayed an enthusiasm which nothing savo medical zeal seemed to rouse in him. A dear friend of his, a man about his own age, died rather suddenly, and tho nephow, also a physician, went to call upon old Dr. J. "Doctor," ho said when ho was admitted to tho office, "my undo died last night" "What!" cried the doctor, "my dear old friend dead? Dear, dear, that strikes very near homo. I shall miss him indeed. What did ho dio of?" "Wo don't know, doctor. We want you to come around tomorrow and make an examination."

The doctor bent over his memorandum book and whirled tho loaves energetically. "Let me see, tomorrow. No, I'vo an engagement with Dr. Holmes that can't possibly bo put oft'. My dear boy, get Dr. He's doing some fine work in that line. But I can't tell you how it pains mo to say no. I can't tell you"—

Tho nephew's eyes grow moist. Ho know some tributo of friendship of tho dead was about to follow, but tho doctor continued, with tho samo warmth and sincority: "I.can't tell you how much I regret my inability to perform this last favor to my dear old friend."—Youth's Companion.

Several of tho children remembered food and clothing, but tho third requisite seemed to havo escaped their recollection entirely. Finally, after tho question had boon repeated two or three times, ono little fellow lifted his hand and said: "A wife.
