The Various Ways In which Living
Creatures Take Their Food.
[From the San Francisco Chronicle.l
That peculiar echinoid, the sea urchin, has
five teeth ia five jaws-oue in each jaw-all
the FIVE Immediately surrounding the stom-
ach. The jaws have a peculiar centralized
motion, all turning inward and downward,
30 that they also act as feeders.
Sna!ls have teeth on their tongues, hum

enough, some have them also in their stom-
ach.

things, always walks with it's head down.
ward, does not chew its food at all, but mas

ducks, and indeed all modern birds. Seiz-
ing their food in their beaks, they swallow Is
whole, if grain or seed, and In large pieces
goes into the gizzard, powerful muscle
with a very tough, horny lining, which acts
as a mill, being sufficiently powerful to pull
verize uncooked corn. To assist in the MILL
ingiprooess all grain eating birds swallow 1T
tie pieces of gravel, glass, crockery. metal,
&C., the horny interior of the gizzard being
sufficiently tough to escape cutting by these
materials. It is because Of this fact that the
ostrich has acquired his reputation of enjoy
ing ferruginous diet.
Even when they had teeth birds only used
them to take their food, depending upon the
gizzard for mastication then as now.
Fishes and reptiles use their teeth for thu

like the birds, they gulp down their food I'M

THE BENNETT Law.


The Wisconsin Democrats are divided in
their minds about the best course to pursue
concerning the Bennett law, which requires
instruction in the English language In the
schools Of the State. The Democratic organ
at the State capital thinks 1t very unwise to
oppose the law, and its editor declares that
he will never vote for any man who stands
on platform of opposition to the general
principles of the law, and expresses the be-
lief that the Democratic party will be over
whelmingly beaten IT 1t takes such a posi-
ton. But the chief Republican paper insists
the parties allude to the Bennett law or not
in their platforms, so far as the issue is CON-
cerned. It is bound to be made whether
the political managers desire 1t or not. The
two church organizations that oppose the
law have already served notice that it will
be en- issue. They will demand from every
candidate for Office specific statement of his
altitude upon the law, and they will fight
any candidate who does not declare for re-
peal.
The Roman Catholics and the German
Lutherans are united in opposing this law.
But there was certainly need enough of such
q law. Under the old system thousands of
young men were becoming voters every year,
who, though they were born in Wisconsin
and attended school there, could not read
the constitution of the State. Of course such
q condition of affairs needs remsdying. It is
interesting to note that many men Of foreign
descent in Wisconsin sustain the principle of
the Bennett law, even when they have to
defy the authority of the Roman Catholic or
the Lutheran church in taking this position.
It surely is not too much to ask that the
language of the land shall not be pushed out
of Wisconsin schools by other languages.

A POSTAL BANKING SYSTEM.

A POSTAL BANKING SYSTEM.
In the attempt to please s'the people" some
curious bills have been introduced in con-
gress this year. One of the latest and most
curious is bill for the establishment of q
postal banking system. A department Of
banking is to be established, with secretary
at So, 600 and four assistant secretaries at $5,-
600 year. This executive department is to
do the peoples banking free Of charge beyond
the necessary fees to cover expenses. Every
postofice is to be a branch bank. Loans
payable with interest at the end of the year
shall be made on proper security. The
money for the loans is to be provided by the
treasurer of tho United States, and shall be
full legal tender for all debts and dues. This
money, as the bill carefully provides, shall be
printed by hand, on silk-threaded paper, at
the bureau of engraving and printing at
Washington, and these are to be the deuom-
nations of the silk-threeded, hand printed
postal bank loan money: zone, two, three
and five mills; one, two, three and five
cents; one, two, three and five dimes; one,
two. three and five dollars; one, two, three
and five eagles; one, two, three and five
oondors [condorsa 500 any way], and one,
two, three and five talents Isl, 000]."
This is ingenious. The New York Sun
hits the mark when it says: The coming of
one-billionth of mill pieces might be
good idea if it is deemed necessary to find
proper financial equivalent of the genius and
knowledge of the idiot or syndicate of idiots
that evolved the wondrous measure which
the long-suffering politeness of Mr.. Ingalls,
has brought to the notice of mankind. And
If there are to be more executive depart
ments, the one most needed at present seems
to be Department of Cranks. A Boss Fool
Killer can be provided later on.
