FRUIT FED RATS OF UGANDA.
BY the Natives They Are Regarded az
Dainty Dish.

The iGca of eating rats is SO repul-
sive 10 us that we cannot imagine such
thing unless one were driven to it by
starvation. The people of Uganda.
however. eat rats not from necessity.
but because they like them. The rat
of Uganda. however. is very different
from the little creature that gnaws
holes in our cupbOards This rat is
much larger. 1t is more than a foot
long and is therefore quite q substan-
tial animal and as well worth cooking
as a rabbit
The wonderful thing about this rat is
that 1t has two mouths. one behind the
other. The first mouth has a pointed
ratlike nose and is furnished with tIO
rows of sharp white teeth. with which
ii bites off its food and passes it on to
the second mouth. which is placed Just
above the throat This mouth also has
two rows Of teeth. but one long slender
tongue serves for both sets Of grinders
Rats are not only eaten in Uganda.
but they are regarded as q delicaCy
The king among his many retainers
has one whose duty it is to furnish the
royal table with rats. A rat catcher is
not an exalted person usually. but in
Uganda he is looked upon with respect
and walks with an air of dignity. He
goes out rat hunting daily and general
ly finds his game among the young
banana trees or in any place where
fallen fruit or berries may be found.
for this is what the rat lives on. Slen-
der. shoots OF bamboo or banana or
fruit and leaves are his food. and this
diet makes his flesh tender and whole
some.

When it appears in Moline

polls. When it appears in Moline %
will cover fourteen acres of ground.
The performances will be exactly the
same as those given at the beginning
of the season. Not a detail has been
altered. 1t is an all-feature show,
with a wealth of European novelties.
Not content with the reputation of
owning the best circus in the world,
the Ringlings keep on growing and
improving. 1t is their policy TO grow.
Among the extraordinary features
on this years program are the Saxon
trio of the worlds strongest men. who
have broken all records in Samsonian
fea;s; the Balkan family of novelty
equestrians, the Janowsky family of
sensational hand-stand artists and nov
city jugglers, the three Jahns, baianc-
ing ladder specialists; the Lorbeer
family of jugglers, who use men and
women as objects to toss about; the
Portia quartet of women contortion-
lists, the Maryland family of eccenric
springboard gymnasts, the Ty-Bell
family of aerial butterflies, Mijarez,
the wizard of the high wire; Captain
Huling's two troupes of educated
seals and sealions, the three greatest
herds of trained elephants on earth.
the Shuman performing horses, the
KlarkoniGn aerialists, the Deltorelli
family of clowns, and fifty other of
the worlds most famous fun-makers.
In the foreign workshop of the show
at Scoke-on-Trent, England, a corps
of Italian and French designers, art
lists and spectacle builders, devised
and built the equipment for wonder
full new parade. Nothing like this
street spectacle was ever seen in this
country before 1t is the most remark
able professional creation ever e<
hibited. The menagerie, too, has been
wonderfully improved and greatly en-
larged. There are over 1000 animals
on exhibition. Among them are
great many specimens new to the ZOOS
of this country.
This is the thirtieth season Of the
Ringing Brothers as showmen. In
April of 1883 they gave their first per-
Torrance on the public green of their
home town. Baraboo, Wis. They made
their own tent and properties. They
had but one horse Unassisted, the
brothers gave the performance. 1t
was a very small beginning. but it
was made in an earnest way. From
the little one-ring affair has grown the
greatest amusement enterprise in the
history of the world.
The Ringlings travel from city to
! city on the longest circus train ever
| handled by the railroads. They have
/ twice the largest tented show in the
