The Queer Carabao. The carabao is said to be slower than a camel and more obstinate than a mule. Every one seems agreed that the chief ambition in life of a cara bao. if he has any at all. is to lie down in a puddle of water with just his nose and horns sticking out. Consequently considerable commotion rules the wag on train when it approaches a stream that must he forded. The soldiers who are walking behind the carts as guards lay aside their rifles and begin to belabor each animal. In the mid dle of the stream the excitement reaches its highest pitch. The cara bao will bedriu to stretch his neck and bend his knees ami trrunt—infallible indications of his Intention to lie down Everybody works like a beaver to pre vent him from accomplishing this fell purpose, but their labors are not al ways successful. They may get him over the stmina, but this Is unusual good fortune.—Harper's Weekly. Siren In Skirts. Which is the most reeont siren (of the animal variety* in history?

But she never spoke. The honest bur ghers had no knowledge of the lan guage of the sea folk to enable them to teach her their own tongue, so she remained mute to the end of her days.
