The snail Is found everywhere, over 8,000 species being known. Some of the large tropical snails, as bulimas, form nests of leaves, their eggs being as large as a pigeon's. The snail 1b ex tremely skillful In mending Its shell, and some curious experiments may be made with them. Thus I have seen a hoJlx of a yellow species attached to another shell of a reddish hue by cut ting off the top whirl of the latter, when the snail will proceed to weld the two shells together and occupy both, using the addition as a door and possibly wondering at this sudden ex tension of Its house. In the winter some of the snails hibernate or He dor mant until warn weather. A snail of the Philippine Inlands has a faculty of throwing off Its tail when seized. This to also true of a West Indian variety, stenophus. London Telegraph. A Brougham Pun. John Brougham was celebrated for his ready wit, and a story is told of him and Pat Hearne, who was the Canfield of his day. Hearne was a big man and addicted to flashy waist coats. In one of his parts Brougham nade up to resemble Hearne and wort a particularly loud and gaudy waist coat. Hearne's friends persuaded him to go to see the play, anticipating considerable amusement at his ex pense. As they were coming out of the theater he was asked what he thought of Brougham's performance. "Not a bit like me. Why, I wouldn't own such a waistcoat." Brougham, bearing this, sald'X see; he wouldn't acknowledge the Pat Hearne-ity (pa ternlty)." "Recollections of Wallack." , . Lester Dead as a Doornail. The phrase "dead as a doornail" originated In this way. In early days, when door knockers were common, the plate upon which the knocker struck was sometimes called a nail. In the course of years It was struck so often that all life was supposed to be knocked out of it; therefore when it became necessary to refer to anything hopelessly lifeless it was merely an emphatic expression to say that It was "m dead as a doornail."
