Long nails arc considered a sign OF

in China. 1t is said a man can live
moderately well on 4 cents a day. The

The Talking Rabbit.

II the rabbit could talk he would
tell the farmer boys that see him al
most daily and wonder why he is built
that way, that he has large ears that
he may hear danger from afar. He
can do but little to defend himself, and
must be off at the first alarm.
His hind legs are long that he may
stand up and look around him. Also
that he may leap over obstacles that
a dog or other animal in pursuit will
be forced to 90 around. Again, when
rabbit is on a full run and, finds
himself likely to be overhauled. ne
can, by digging his hind feet into the
snow or soil, stop dead in his tracks
and bound off in a new direction.
The rabbit is one of the few small
animals with eyes so placed that he
can see almost directly behind him
as well as ahead. He thus escapes
the foxes and weasels that seek TO
creep up on him. AS a pet the rab-
bit is Of little use. A squirrel can be
taught a score of tricks, while a rab-
Bit is trying to learn one.-Indlanapo-
