Peculiarity of Snakes.

A snake tamer who had trained a serpent to follow him aronnd the house and even out of doors happened one day to take it with him to •* strange place. The snake, unused ?o the locality, suddenly seemed to forget all his tralning and, escaping into the bashes, resisted capture with bites and every Indication of wildness. When caught it at once resumed its tame habits. This tendency to become wild {immediately upon Obtaining their freedom and to again become tame when caught - is said to be a peculiarity of snakes.—New York Tribune.
