GEESE AS Practical HUMoRIsTs. goose

NOR Of any animal, unless it be her own
arch enemy, the fox The writer once saw
in little grassy paddock some eight or ten
fat and healthy pigs and half score OF
geese. From this paddock narrow. open
gate gave entrance into the farm-yard, and.
as evening drew on. the geese ranged them
selves in row near this Thermopyle. Oh
viously. supper-time was approaching. and
the pigs wished to return home to thelr
troughs. Equally clearly, the geese had
gwen each other the word not TO let them
pass through the gate which they guarded.
without paying toll. First there came up
a Jolly. good-humoreG little pig, who trot-
ted cheerfully along with confidence which
ought to have disarmed criticism, till he
came among the geese. Then, with cackle
and scream, every neck was stretched to
get q bite at him, and. squealing and yell
ing, the poor little porker ran the gauntlet.
The same fate befell SIX or seven more oil
his brethren in succession, each betraying
increasing trepidation as he approached the
fatal pass, and made bolt through the
corps de garde of geese. whose chattering
and screeches of delight were almost un-
distinguishable from human laughter. AT
last The biggest pig OF the party Drought
up the rear. He was pink-deshed, clean
young fellow, with fat limbs and sides. and
his ears were cooked, a.d his tail sharply
twisted in the intelligent, wide-awake man
ner which so completely distinguishes the
intellectual pig from the mere swine multi
tude. With loud grunt of defiance. thi:
brave beast charged through the flock oil
geese. and had actually almost gained the
gate. when large, gray goose made one
grab at his fat ham, caught up the skin IN
u bunch and gave it a tremendous pinch
with her red beak. Needless to say. the all
was rent with the squeals of agony OF th'
injured pig and the ecstatic pesns OF the
flock Of geese in chorus From the order
in which the transaction took place, We de
rived the impression that similar game o

too easily and too much. In man or wo-

fore eating they sometimes rinse the fingers
with water. The way | saw a woman do
was by taking mouthful of water out Of a
small calabash, then squirting it out of her
mouth over her fingers then she sat down
and plunged her fingers into the poi, stirred
it around and thrust into her mouth what
clung to the fingers. And thus they each
and all eat poi, with the first two fingers,
man, women. and children, stirring around
and eating from the same cslabash. In like
manner they eat the raw fish with their fin
gers from the same dish. They live in this
manner all over the islands.
