BABIES EOR Bali.
Little Children Rented Out 90 Attra,
Ceylon's Lazy CrocodiIes.

Little Children Rented Out to Attract
Ceylon's Lazy Crocodiles.
''Babics wanted for crocodile bait
| viii be returned alive"
II newspapers abounded in Ccylon
as much as crocodlcs do. advertise
ments worded like the foregoing would
be common in their want columns. As
il is, the English crocodile hunter has
to secure his baby by personal solicita-
tion. He is often successful, for Cey-
lon parents, as a rule. have unbounded
confidence in the hunters, and will
rent their babies ont to be used as
crocodile bait for a small eonsidera-
tion.
Ceylon crocodiles suffer greatly from
ennui. They prefer to lie quite still,
soothed by the suns glittering rays,
and vile away their lazy lives in medi-
tation. But when dark brown infant
with curling toes sits ON bank and
binks its eyes at them, they throw of
their cloak Of laziness and make their
preparations for a delicate morsel Of
Ceyloncse baby humanity. When the
crocodile gets about half way up the
bank the hunter, concealed behind
some reeds, opens up fire, and the
hungry crocodile has his appetite and
life taken away at the same time. The
sportsman secures the skin and head
of the crocodile and the rest Of the
carcass the natives make use of.
This way Of securing crocodilcs
might be objected to by American
mothers. The American infant imagi-
nation might be shattered by the de-
vouring gaze Of healthy saurian who
hasn't had his dinner, but we are
creditably informed by certain English
crocodile hunters that the average
Ceylon infant displays a passive indif-
ference to his advances, and that the
only thing which frightens him is the
report of the gun.-PM Mall Gazetie.

That noble faith can qucnch each fiery dart
OF doubt--that hate Is feebler far than love.
Life is worth livingi Therefore live It well.
Believe In God and man. So life, God-given,
Shall never sound It's own sad funeral knon.
But climb 70 Immortality and Heaven.
