A dear old lady visited the zoological gardens, and, after wandering ior some time, went up to a keeper and tapped him on the shoulder with her umbrella. “ I want to ask you,” she said, “ which of the. animals you consider the most remarkable.” The keener scratched bis head for a while. “ Well, mum,” he said at length, “ after careful consideration _ I’ve come to tho conclusion as the biscuit goes to the laughing hyena.” “ Indeed. And why do you consider the laughing hyena so remarkable?’ “Well, mum, he only has a sleep once » month, an’ he only has a drink once a, year, so what he’s got to laugh about is a mystery to me.”
