A new restaurant that not many weeks

Cruelty to Infants.

There is one barbarous prae 1ice still
occasionally INDUCED in at Old Orchard
as at other places where surf bathing is
a pastime. 1t is quite as cruel as bull
fights, and as the cruelty is perpetrated
in a Christian land and ofttimes by moth
ers it is all the more glaring. We refer
to the custom of taking so many terri
fed infants out into the waves and hold
ing them down in the water. Such a
spectacle witnessed in mornings walk
will spoil days enjoyment. The suf-
ferings of the little one are as real as
painful emotions can be to an adult

Superintendent Elliott, of the North

many nights past noted that his chick
ems We're mysteriously disappearing.
They We're choice fowls, raised at great
expense, the envy Of neighbors the
! country around.
There is a pond short distance from
the superintendent house, and near the
: side of this house are the chicken coops.
Mr.. Elliott resolved to remain up all
night and keep watch over his property.
The evening Wore slowly away with
out any developments, but toward .
o'clock in the morning his attention was
attracted by rustling in the grass near
the coops, and Oh hurrying quietly there
was surprised TO find that three 4-foot
water snakes had entered the coops
and seized upon as many of his choicest
fowls. The snakes had coiled around
the necks of the chickens, strangling
them, and We're endeavoring to reach
the edge of the pond with their victims.
The superintendent succeeded in killing
all of the snakes.
The water snakes were the largest of
their kind ever seen there. 1t is well
known fact to those acquainted with
the habits of water snakes that they are
as fond Of chicken as the traditional
country preacher-Philadelphia Times.
