Babies Used for Bait.

If mothers in general shared the nerve
exhibited by mothers in Ceylon, trouble
would be spared in many household
"Babies wanted for crocodile bait. Will
be returned alive" If newspapers
abounded in Ceylon as much rs eroco-
diles do, advertisements worded like the
foregoing would be common in their want

As it is, the English crocodile-hunter
has to secure his baby by personal soltcf-
tation. lie is often successful, Tor Cey-
lon parents, as Il rule, have unbounded
confidence in the runtcrs and will rent
their babies out to be used as crocodile
bait for small consideration. Ceylon
crocodiles suffer greatly from ennui; they
prefer to lie quite still, soothed by the
suns glittering rays, a1d while away their
lazy lives in meditation. But when a
dark brown irfant, with curling toes, sits
on a bank and blinks at them, they throw
off their CLOAK of laziness and make their
preparations for delicate morsel of Cey-
lonese humanity.
When the crocodile gets about half
way up the bank, the hunter, concealed
behind SOM reeds, opens fire, and the
hungry crocodile has his appetite and life
taken away at the same time, the baby
being brought home safely TO lts loving
mamma. The sportsman secures the skin

Two Hundred Female Slaves Shot.

The Paris Recue FrancaiSe has letter
from Zanzibar which says that over a
year ago a caravan of 300 Arabs left the
east coast to 90 into the interior to trade.
They have now returned, and one of the
chiefs relates their adventures. Arriving
at Kavirondo, on the northeast shores of
Victoria Nyanza, the Arabs saw that the
natives had good deal of ivory and that
they had no guns. They attacked the
tribe, and before the shooting had gone
on long the natives were willing to do
anything to make peace.
After a long palaver with the chiefs
the Arabs agreed to leave the country
upon the payment to them of 200 tusk;
of ivory and two hundred young women.
The natives were glad to get ride of the
enemy even on these hard conditions.
AS soon as they received the ivory and
the women the Arabs started for the
coast. They had terrible time in the
Nasal country. There was drought,
and they almost perished of thirst. Then
provisions became scarcer and scarcer,
and the whole party was In danger OF
starvation. Finally the Arab chiefs de-
cided, that in order to save themselves
and their ivory it would be necessary to
sacrifice their female slaves, who were
very weak from their deprivations and
could march no further.
That night all of these 200 young wo-
men were shot to death, and their bodies
were left in the camp for beasts of prey.
The victims happily had not moments
warning of their impending fate. Each
murderer selected his victim. and the
horrible crime was accomplished SO
speedily that few of the women made any
outcry. With their force thus summarily
reduced, the Arabs were able to pull
through the desert region, obtaining lit
tie more food than barely enough to sus-
tain life.
The chief who related these facts in
Zanzibar showed no compunctions what
ever for the terrible crime in which he
had assisted, but mentioned this massa-
ere only to give an idea of the great loss
they had sustained by the necessary sacri-
fee of their 200 slaves. 1t is curious
fact that some of the murderers were
greatly troubled in mind because their
necessities had compelled them to eat
rats and other unclean food, which is
prohibited to Mohammedans on the
march
