Why Tho Native Youngsters Of New

In certain parts of New Guinea the
wallaby, a species of kangaroo. are
very plentiful. and the traveller in
search of sport finds the pursuit Of
them an exciting occupation. Wallaby
steak is refreshing change from cam
ned meats. and the natives are only
too glad to have the remnants of the
carcass. A writer in an English mag.
azine tells an amusing incident con.
nected with the animal.
He had been ashore in one of the
sparsely populated regions of the coast
and secured four wallaby. an ample
supply for the whole party. native
guides and servants included. But he
found that. although wallaby is re-
garded as such delicacy that no
trouble is considered too great to OBJ
tain it, none of the native boys in the
party would touch it.
This was Il mystery until one of
them explained that they had been
trained in childhood in the belief that
If they ate wallaby before reaching Il

These boys all belonged to the part
of the country where wallaby are few

folks seated round the festive pot and

people declined the succulent dainty.
