ANIMALS WITH HANDS.
The Use of the Paws In Conveying
Food to the Mouth.

| EOO0 10 tine MOUNns
| Kangaroos use their hands very
readily to hold food in and to put 1t to
their mouths. AS their fore legs are SO
short that they have to browse In
stopping position, they seem pleased
when able to secure large bunch Of
cabbage or other vegetable provender
and to hold 1t in their hands to eat.
Sometimes the young kangaroo. look
ing out Of the pouch, catches one or
two of the leaves which the old one
drops, and the pair may be seen each
nibbling at the salad held in their
hands, one, SO to speak, lone floor
above the other. In alice In Wonder
land" the lizard is always making
notes on slate and then trying to rub
them out again with his fingers. Many
lizards feet are SO like hands that 1t
is rather surprising that they are only
used for running and climbing. But
that is the main purpose to which
lizards apply them. The slow, delib-
crate clasping and unclasping of
chameleons feet look like the move
ments which the hands OF q sleep
walker might make were be trying to
creep down the banisters. The chame-
Icons are almost deformed hands, yet
they have certain superficial resem-
blance to the feet of the parrots, which
more than other birds use the foot for
many Of the purposes of a hand when
feeding.
| To see many of the smaller rodents
ground squirrels, prairie dogs and mar
mots-hold their food, usually in both
paws, is to learn q lesson in the dex-
ferrous use of hands without thumbs.
Rats and mice do not, as a rule,
"clinch" what they hold, but merely
support 1t in their paws, the move
ments being much less human than
they appear. Nothing more readily sug-
gests the momentary impression that
pretty little monkey is remotely "A
man and brother than when he
stretches out his neat little palm, fin.
gers and thumb, and with all the move
ments proper to the civilized mode OF
greeting insists on shaking hands. But
no one feels in the least inclined to
grasp the clawed digits Of any of the
rodents which use their paws to hold
food. They are only "holders," not
hands.-London Spectator.
