now THE WEASEL HUNTS IT'S FREY.

There are other enemies Of gamc.Ife
beside human poachers, whose numbers
must be kept within bounds TO insure sue.
cessful sport. The thlrst OF the weasel
for blood Is instatiable, and II Is curious
to watch the persistency with which be
will hunt down the particular rabbit he
has singled out for destruction. Through
the winding subterranean galleries OF the
bnrles, with their cross.passsges, blind
holes (tbat is, those which end In undis'
turbed soil, and those which are simply
bored from one side OF the bank to the
other, being only used for temporary con-
cealmenD never once In the dark, close
esverns losing sight or scent of his vic
tim, he pursues II with species OF eager
patience. II is generally long chase.
The rabbit makes a dash ahead, and
double or two, and then halts, usually at
the mouth of hole, perhaps to breathe.
By.and-by the weasel, bsftled for few
minutes, comes up behind, Instantly the
rabbit slips over the bank outside aud
down the ditch for dozen yards, and
there enters the bury again. The weasel
follows, gliding up the bank with mo-
tion not unlike that OF a snake; for hls
body and neck are long and slender, aud
his legs short. lie seems In no haste, but
rather fingers over the scent. This is re-
peated Ave or six times, TIL the whole
length of the hedgcrow has been Iraversed,
sometimes up and down again. The
chase may be easily observed by any one
who will keep little in the background.
Although The bank be tenanted by fifty
other rabbits, past whose hiding place the
weasel must go, yet they scarcely take
any notice. One OF two, whom be has
approached too closely, bolt out and Ia
again but as a mass the furry population
remain quiet, as ifpcrfectly aware that
they are not yet marked out for slaughter.
At last, having exhausted the resources
of the bank, The rabbit rushes across the
field 10 a bedgcrow, perhaps hundred
yards away Here the wfetched creature
seems to find difficulty in obtaining sd'
mittance Hardly has he disappeared In
hole before he comes out again, as u
the inhabitants Of the place refused TO
give him shelter.

QUEER CUSTOMS IN BOMBAY.

A traveller thus describes that portion
OF Bombay inhabited exclusively by ma
tiyes. You come into the native town,
not by any approach Of struggling huts
and low houses TO prepare your mind for
a change, but plump and suddenly, as
yon step from water to land or from
land to water. A glance tells you where
you are; European faces are few and fat
between; the shops are native, and the
crowd pressing along the streets are as nn-
English as possible. Here are the Par
sees with their flowing robes and hats
which only an illustration can describe (;
Hindoos with turbans of varied shapes
and colors, some fitting tight to the head
and others spreading almost like umbrcl-
las Moslems with close caps and turbans
differing from all others, and coolies Of
the lower caste or no caste at all, quite
uncovered as TO head, or sporting only a
thinly-wound and dirty rag. Women
pass us, some with heads partially or
wholly covered, while others expose their
faces completely to our gaze. They have
rings on their toes and rings on their fin
gers, and some of them have ankles and
wrists tbickly studded with rings OF
silver. Ears and noses have an sbun-
dance Of ornaments, and II kissing be
known in India some Of the nose decora-
lions must be a serious inconvenience,
Not content with piercing the ear after
our Occidental fashion, they ptrforate It's
entire circumference with holes for jew
elry, and This fashion is not confined TO
the gentler and prettier Of the sex. Many
OF the men do likewise; weBllhy aud
intelligent native of the higher class and
high social position, who sat opposite me
at a private dinner, sporIed row Of
pearls on the upper part OF his right ear,
where they formed an ornament unknown
to Europe or America. The women
have sometimes enormous ear drops,
with triple holding they are fastened to
the hair above the ear, and are then at
tsched to both the upper and lower er'
tremitics Of the auricular organ. A wise
division OF labor, as the weight OF the
ornament is so great that the lower part
of the ear alone would be in danger OF
parting company with the upper II left to
bear the whole burden.
