A Cow Flies a Kite.

A cow flying a kite was the unusual spectacle witnessed recently in a town in New York State. A correspondent of the Boston Transcript describes the incident: A boy had been flying the kite In a pasture, and had laid it on the turf where the cow was grazing. The animal, In browsing aboilt, swallowed the ball of twine, which was lying about ■thirty feet from the kite. As the cow moved off, the kite movedtoo, and the cow, eying it curiously, started again. The kite followed. The cow quickened her gait and broke into a lope. The kite gracefully rose In the air and remained suspended until the thoroughly frightened animal was caught, after breaking through a fence and racing down the street to her owner’s home.
