Ferrets in Rhode Island. 
It is reported that hunting with ferrets, 
which is against the law, is being carried on 
extensively in Johnston and Scituate, and rab¬ 
bits are being caught by this method. _ It was 
stated by a hunter recently that there is more 
ferret work being done than for many years 
past, and up to date the hunters have escaped 
detection. The ferrets give no chance at all 
to the rabbit. When driven into a wall or 
hole, the ferret is set upon the rabbit’s track 
and the hare is then driven out into the hands 
or a bag held by the hunters. 
The penalty for using a ferret is severe, 
and it is possible that the complaints will re¬ 
ceive attention and a prosecution or two 
brought which would end the practice.—Provi¬ 
dence, R. L, Telegram. 
Pythons Like Milk. 
“The fondness of pythons for milk is no¬ 
torious.” said an official of the zoo. “A python 
will follow a bowl of milk for miles and then 
be perfectly satisfied with the milk as a re¬ 
ward for its journey. In India sometimes the 
natives in traveling through the forests carry 
a torch ahead for fear of wild animals, and one 
man will bring up the rear, carrying a bowl of 
milk. In this way they sometimes enter a 
town, followed by half a dozen pythons, as they 
say in India, ‘wagging their tails behind 
them.’ ”
