They will live contentedly in a bear-pit, or even if chained up, and as most of you know, they like peanuts and pop-corn well enough to beg for them. The panther, or mountain-lion, is another large flesh-eating animal which makes his home in the thick woods conveniently neighboring the farmers' corrals and pastures.
At first they thought the boys were looking for them; but soon discovered from their conversation that the boys were going swimming in a little lake at the end of the meadow near the woods. They passed close by the goats without paying any attention to them. One boy had a bag of pop-corn he was eating and Billy smelling it commenced to long for some.
You will no doubt wonder why it carries such a common name. "Just because after searching in what books on geology and other sciences we could get, we could not find it described nor any formation resembling it; hence its common name, as we have named the pop-corn work, frost work etc., from their appearance.
"I have no beautiful white strings of pop-corn to hang over it like wreaths of snow," he said, "so I am going down the lane for some mistletoe that grows in one of the highest trees. The berries are like lovely white wax beads." "You are a good little lad," said the housekeeper, kindly, as she gave his head an affectionate pat.
Billy did not get fixed any too soon for the people now began to crowd into the circus to see the animals before the performances commenced and they passed around the ring before the animals' cages, talking and giving them peanuts, pop-corn and apples. He heard some one say when in front of his cage: "Oh, my! Look at this queer looking goat with three horns don't he look fierce?"

He carried a great basket of pop-corn, and bore a corn-popper over his shoulder. When he entered he bowed low to the Head-nurse; her bonnet did not seem to surprise him at all.
"How did he make the balls?" asked Alexia, forgetting herself in her interest, and coming up to Polly. "Why, we had some bits of bright paper, little bits, you know, and Ben covered hickory nuts with them, and pasted them all as smoothly; you can't think!" "Oh, my!" exclaimed Alexia. "And Polly strung all the pop-corn, and fixed the candle-ends somebody gave Mamsie, and" "Candle-ends?
The floor was bare about the churn, and there remained only three or four parcels in his arms. The teacher was despoiling the tree of its pop-corn festoons and tossing them gaily about. Already there was a sound of crunching in the room, as the candy, nuts, and fruit met their destined fate.
It much resembled others visited in and near Calcutta, but I was surprised at the variety of European vegetables offered for sale: there were peas, onions, potatoes, squashes, lettuce, radishes, turnips and many kinds of grain, including that peculiarly Yankee "institooshun" pop-corn.
