The Birds Best Friend,

Ono of the plcasantcst Of tho spring
timo anniversaries is tho birthday Of
John james Audubon, which occurs
May 4. If Audubon had lived, he would
now he more than 100 years old. But
he died In 1881, after having written
somo of the most valuable books which
hnvo ever been printed about birds and
their ways. The birthday Of Audubon
should DO II reminder to tho children
that great and good man once devoted
his whole life to studying tho pretty
feathcrcd songstcrs. And they should
resolve that they will at least do all
they can to preserve the birds from
harm during tho coming spring and
summer. Perhaps upon Audubon birth
day tho boys and girls will form now
bird defender societies all over tho coun.

"No, Henrietta. That was privi-

y Great Circus.
HENRY DAY,

The circus at Rome was Il grand af.
fair, and the sports therein exhibited
wcro worthy Of SO great u place.
Titus exhibited 1000 beasts in ono
day. Adrian had 900 slaughtered on
his birthday. COmmudus killed several
thousand with his own hand. Tho EN-
pcror Gordian, besides showing 100 Af-
rican beasts and 1000 bears on one
day, had Il temporary wood planted in
tho circus and turned into il 200 stays,
30 wild horses, 100 wild sheep, 100
bulls, 300 ostrirhcS, $50 wild boars,
200 ibiscS, 200 deer and other animals.
The people were then allowed to enter
the wood and help themselves. Protus
initiated this, but put in 1000 animals
where his predecessor had placed 100.
Pliny says that Claudius had an i'm
mcnso boa constructor killed in which Il
child was found entire. Another boa,
90 cubits in length, was exhibited in
tho Forum. All these beasts fought
with each other and with men. One
emperor, Gordian, had 900 pairs of
Rladiators exhibited, fighting, in one
day. Nero mudo 30 knights fight to
tho death and arranged contest be-
tween 400 senators and coo knights.
Naval engagements were sometimes
exhibited in the circus, which could
easily he filled with water. Caesar had
lake dug in which gallcys, represent
ing the Tyrian and Egyptian fleets, en-
gagged i'll a mimic battle, employing a
vast number of men.
