AN AFRICAN PRAIRIE oce;'-" Much Like the Species Found on 01111 Western Prairies. The meekrat of South Africa bears a resemblance to the American prairie- dog, but is more easily domesticated. It is a tiny little creature about .as big as a rat, very intelligent and affection-' ate as a dog when tamed. It barks and chatters and purrs, is an inveterate thief and spends much of its time standing upright. Its fur is gray, marked somewhat like a tab- by cat, and it is wholly without fear. The dog is its favorite animal, and, when tamed, the meckrat invariably attaches itself to the most good-na- tured dog in the house. . When wild, these little animals live ' in‘ colonies as the prairie dogs. burrow- ing their homes underground, living They express supreme sat- isfaction by lying flat down and stretching themselves out so that they seem like a flat skin without any bones inside it..

Not to Be Outdone in Stories by His “'asbington Cousins. A little boy from California, who has been about a good deal, is spend- ing the holidays with his Washing- ton cousins. He has enjoyed the sights of the capital, but he hasn’t permit- ted himself to be in the slightest "de- gree overawed by anything he has seen. His cousins took him to the National Museum one day, and called his attention to a. great log of petri- fied wood lying just outside the door. The little Californian had been a lit- tle depressed, but he 'brightened up at the sight. “I’ ve seen a whole tree like that " he said. The Washington cousins maintained their composure. like that out West,” went on the young Westerner. Still the Washing- tonians were not at all impressed. The California boy drew a long breath. “We’ve got a whole woodsof putre-' fled trees,” he said; “yes, and they's putrefled birds sitting on ’em, and- and,” with one last effort to disturb the calm, self-satisfaction of hiscom-. panions, “they're ' singing. putrefied songs, too.”—Washington Post. -\~—-———.
