Snakes and Frogs.

From Longmans Magazine
The late King of Dude had built
snakery In the garden of his palace at
Garden Reach, near Calcutta. 1t was
an oblong pit about so feet long by 20
leet broad, the walls being about T.
feet high, and perfectly smooth. so that
a snake could not climb up. In the
center . the pit there was a large
block OF rough masonry, perforated so
that ii was as full OF holes as a sponge.
In this honeycombed block the snakes
dwelt, and when the sun shoLe bright
~ they came out to bask or to feed.
Ills Ma esty used to have live frogs
puI into tie pit, and amu-e himself hy
seeing the hungry snakes catch the
frogs. When large snake catches the
ir"g, II is al. over III an instant; but if a
SIN, lllsh snake catches a argish frog, so
that he cannot swallow 1t at once, the
frogs cries are piteous to hear. Again
and again | have heard them while out
shooting, and have gone to the bush or
Tut Of grass from which the piercing
cries came-sUmetimCs in time, some
times too late TO save poor iroggy
though the snake generally got shot
As final story let me tel how a frog
has b, en- seen TO turn the tables on the
snake.
Two gentlemen IN OaChQr some years
ago saw a small snake seize a small frog
and attempt to swallow it. Bat sudden
ly large frog Jumped forward, seized
the snakes tail, and began 10 swallow
the snake. How that affair might have
ended cannot be told. because my
friends imprudeuty drew near 10 watch
the combat, when the rogs and the
snake took alarm, and the big frog s
gorged the snakes tail and the snake re-
leased the lItue frog AMI they all seat
tied off. But the lule is perfectly true
and both the gentlemen who saw it are
still alive; and | on Y regret that It was
