Oct the, Iletlcr of Adders. The hedgehog, that' butt of Juvenllo rustic horseplay, is tho possessor ofj tastes which, like Bam Wcller's knowl- odgo of London, aro "extensive and ! peculiar.'" Hcorning rastiuiouflnesa n can mako a hearty meal of nearly any insect and Is ono of the few verte brates which can tackle the repulsive cockroach; Foif effectual extermina tion of beetles and crickets It Is as useful as a mongoose among the rata, but it is not generally known that It has a partiality toward snakes and adders. The methods it employs for the attack aro interesting. Having como upon the adder it goads that reptile to the offensive and at the first dart immediately rolls Into a ball, the Edinburgh Scotchman says. The adder is then left to attack the spines, In which encounter' it natural ly comes off second best. After a little, when the hedgehog feels that his antagonist has exhausted his pow er, it once more opens out and makes a blto at the adder's back, thereby breaking its spine. It then proceeds to crunch the whole of the reptiles body by means of its powerful Jaws, and after that It la said to start at the tall and devour Its prey. Of eggs the hedgehog 1b also very fond, there by giving Just cause to keepers and farmers to destroy it on sight Cases have been known where hedgehogs actually forced the hen pheasant off her nest and then pro ceeded to demolish the contents. Thero Is a tradition among country people to the effect that the hedgehog will suck the milk from cows, who certainly show strong aversion to the hedgehog, but eminent naturalists scout the Idea, their explanation be Ing that It is the heat of the cow which attracts the' hedgehog, the cow's dislike being no doubt caused by un pleasant contact with the prickly Bptnes. Hedgehogs are invulnerable to moat of their enemies except man, although the wily fox has been known to get the better of them occasionally.

An absurdly worded statement of a fact which was not in Itself remark nble recently tried the gravity of the listeners. It was on tho occasion of tho funeral of an elderly woman In a New England town. She had left an old mother, nearly ninety years of age, and an only son who was well on to ward fifty. . Tho services were conducted by a timid young clorgyman recently set tled over the parsh. After praying for many and various things he said: "And two we especially pray that tho Lord will comfort and sustain in their loss and sorrow. Ono Is the or phan, who, although no longor young, is an orphan still and must so con tinue. The other is tho mother, far advanced In years, who has survived her daughter, although considerably her senior." Youth's Companion.
