Itunieralnii Ihr Tfcolr of Infant Coons and Washing of Food lief ore Fating. From the Cincinnati Enquirer: You have missed a couple of mighty singular events if you never saw a coon christening or coon food cleansing out at the Zoo. The coon home at the Zoo consists simply of a plot of ground about as large as a barn door of extra generous size would cover. This is surrounded by a wire fence four feet high, topped with a broad, tin raii. which prevents the little clown-lik- e creatures from escaping. In the center of this yard is a tree twenty feet high and having many and heavy limbs. Near the base of the tree is a several foot square pool of water. This pool marks two very exclusive, very notable characteristics that distinguish the coon from any other animal. The pool la the coons christening and foodcleansing place. When a ceon gives birth to young almost the first thing she does la to take her babies one by one in her mouth and, accompanied by the father coon, proceeds slowly and solemnly to the pool. Arriving at its brink, and while the dad coon stands thoughtfully by, the mother baptizes the little one beneath the wave with all the decorum and solicitude that a Baptist clergyman Immerses a candidate for church membership. After lowering It gently down beneath the surface aud lifting it up again, Mrs. Coon and her husband wend their way back again to their family corner of the yard. This service, solemn and staid, is continued by Mr. and Mrs. Coon until every mother's son of their Just arrived offspring has been duly christened. Viewed soberly, It is really one of the most unique, impressive processional performances imaginable. But the indescribable drollness of the picture made by the wee husband and wife as they go through with the performance is inimitable, and smiles, if not laughter, come to almost every one who witnesses the bit of drama. Almost any hour any day in the year you can find a group of people tossing bits of goodies to the coons. Upon picking up one of these Mr. or Mrs. Coon Instantly, with the goody held daintily In its teeth, trots over to the pool and swashes the morsel back and forth in the water two or three times. Then returning to Its favorite corner, or up to its favorite crotch in the tree, the little chap sets to devouring it in a way so dainty and sedate as to put humans to the blush. Rut of course you wouldnt blush at Clown Coons etiquette. There is so much original comedy In every move he makes in this foodcleansing snd eating process that you laugh in spite of yourself. His very appearance, particularly In motion, his judge-lik- e sedateness, snd his display of extreme neatness, his exquisiteness in all things, form a subtle and sure tickler for anybodys laugh spot. It beats the funniest man tbe stage can ng serio-com- ic food-gulpi- show.
