A snake and Rabbit Combat.
melbourne Leader, June ia.


The following instance OF the strength Of
the maternal instinct In animals has been
furnished TO us by a reliable authority, the
fact being vouched for by Mr.. John Phillip,
of Ascot Heath: IA Chinaman in Mr..
Philips employ, while hoeing potatoes,
heard a peculiar noise issuing from rabbit q
nest with young ones. On looking mp he
saw rabbit and snake engaged in deadly
combat. The snake frequently raised itself
and struck at the rabbit; the brave little
animal, strong In its maternal instinct,
fought the snake in return with its forepaws.
The Chnaman, who was quite excited when
narrating the occurrence, thus describes the
incident, aided by good deal of expressive
pantomime: Me hoey potatoes; see littee hole,
labbit. Me lookee, see labbit jump, see
snakee jump. Little time me lookee,
snakee dead, labbit no walkee. Hoey po-
tatoes; lcokee labbit. no see. BY and by
him dead Mr.. Philip at once went TO the
spot, and there lay both rabbit and snake
dead, the first from the effects of the poison
fangs and the latter from the severe scratches
and wounds on its body inflicted by the
claws Of the enraged little rodent. The rep.
tiles powers Of escape had been neutralized
through Its having gorged itself by making
meal Of two OF the young rabbits out of the
four which the nest contained. It was evil
dent that the mother had inst returned to
her yonpg as the snake was finishing his
meal, and had bravely died in defense Of her
offspring, but not before She had succeeded
In visiting with similar fate the unwel

There Is less difficulty in German girls of
the middle class finding suitable partner 3
for life than il the CASE in the same
class IN England. German girls as a
matter of course, take their share In
household work; this does not prevent their
being frequently very accomplished, often
excellent musicians, but it does prevent a
great deal Of restlessnsss aud vagus discOn-
tent. young man who marries in that
class knows that he may reasonably expect
his bride to be- good housewife. II he is
in the upper middle class, for instance a
shopkeeper, his vile often keeps the 40
counts of the shop. I have wondered at the
close attention to business details shown by
women who might have expected to be spared
such exettiOns; but was assured they pre-
ferred to be thus occupied, partly in order to
save for their children. 1t seemed to me
that the master and mistress in most shops
we're on friendly terms with their assistants,
who were permitted to rest at intervals dur
