the claws Of cat. It's skin is smooth, with
the exception of few hairs on its back,

however, the whiskers and eyebrows. Its
tail is long and pointed and is curled yp by

The land is so valuable In most OF the set

made out of the stalks of the grain that was
raised for man. Corn-stalks are cut down

Ill HUNG CHANG is reported as saying:
"Before half century has passed China
