said they never learned anything, and

conservative person, and books will do
her little good. She will 60 on dress

sible OF assimilation. II Is pltiful to
reflect on the sum OF infantile pain
and suffering which has been needless

Now, how does 1t manage to get
down its throat such a thing as a
ducks egg, not only so much larger
than itself. but also hard and perfect
ly smooth? We know that a common
snake is aided in swallowing a toad
by it's hook-like teeth, which hold the
prey while the upper and lower jaws
glide over 1t alternately and thus push
it backward. Lizards, boas, the Het-
erodon of Madagascar, ETC., are said
to place the egg-of a canary or other
small bird, that is-against an irreg-
ularity of the ground or within one
Of their own folds, which enables them

eggs, however, these explanations do
not suffice, this genius being destitute
Of true teeth. We can, therefore, only
suppose that a couple Of membranous
folds, which have been. discovered, one
on each side Of it's mouth, lay hold OF
the shell like cupping glasses, ana
thus work 1t into the throat. But here
we meet with another difficulty. After
the egg has passed between the pro-
digiously distended jaws and upper
esophagus, 1t would seem as II Its bulk
and solidity. when lodged in compar.
atively inelastic part of the digestive
tube, whose juices are unable to dis
solve the shell, must quickly prove
fatal to the animal. A remarkable in
stance of natural adaptation is afford
ed by the manner in which this danger
is provided against. The anodon, as
already observed. has no true teeth.
So-called gular teeth, however, are
present, these being really the tips Of
the long interior spines Of the first
eight or nine vertebrae, protruding
through the esophagus wall. When
the shell is broken by the gular teeth

FAMOUS RAT-HUNTERS.
Unusual sport Pursued by Natives OF
Pacific Islands.

The native rat has great enemy.
When brought into competition with
the common brown rat of Europe, In
troduced by ships throughout the
world, 1t usually disappears-an ex-
ample OF the evils Of the Influx OF
aliens, says Chambers Journal. The
depredatlons OF the latter are such
that in Funafuti the Indigenous breed
has been driven from the village and
indeed almost exterminated upon the
main islet by the foreign rat; in many
Of the Islands 1t has been completely
rooted out. Even more deadly on
slaught has been carried on against II
by the domestic cats. which, originally
brought over by missionaries and after
ward migrating to the bush, have
proved OF service In destroying the
rats. In the old days. when I'M
checked, rats literally overran most OF
the islands of the Pacific. The natives
shoot the rats for sport. Fanna gooma,
or rat shooting, as practlced on Hoonga
In the Tonga group, apparently was
an amusement reserved for chiefs, and
was undertaken with much ceremony.
Attracted by bait previously distri
buted, the rats were shot with formid-
able unfeathered arrows six feet long.
The game was not an individual but a
