ton at San Francisco, was fed on rab-
bits daily. When the snake was taken
to Sacramento for exhibition, it WAS
uncertainy how long the show would
stay but the patronage of the Sacra-
mentans was generous, and the agent
at once t~elegraphed for his show-post-
ers to "bill the town" The dispatch
read "Send 200 cuts Immediately :"
but, when received, it read, "Send 200
cats Immediately" It was a little sur
prise to the agent in San Francisco
when he read the message, but he
reasoned that rabbits were scarce in
Sacramento, and it was necessary to
substitute cats for the regular proven
der. So he started out an army of boys
to catch all the stray cats. By the af-
ternoon train he sent out a crate of
seventy-fve cats, with a letter, saying.
II send se~venty-ive cats by this train,
and will forward balance tomorrow, but
l am afraid that number of cats will eat
the snake, if they get loose, instead of
being eaten by him."

Gov. DIX, of New York, has signed
the Compulsory Education bill. By its
provisions it compels parents and
guardians to give children of from
eight to fifteen years of age, either in q
school or at home, AT least fourteen
weeks regular instruction every year in
reading, writing, arithmetic, English
grammar, and geography. 1t prohibits
the employment of children within the
ages named at any labor during the
time when the district schools are
opened, and school officers are given au-
thority to see that it is enforced.
