CHILDREN SOLD IN HUNGARY,
People without Children Go TO the
Founding Hospital to Buy
the Waits

The Hungarian authorities are TAX.
ing decisive steps to put a stop to an
extraordinary system of selling chill
dren which prevails to large extent
in the central provinces.
Once a month childless persons ap-
pear in large fouhdling hospital in
Temesvar where they seek out the
children that suit them and depart
after paying a sum of money for tn cir
purchases.
On a recent occasion 30 children,
ranging from one to nine years, were
disposed of in this way without suffi-
cient guarantee being given that the
purchasers were respectable people
who would treat the children prop
erly. The most beautiful children
were those most sought after, especi-
ally fair-haired girls, as these in Hun
gary are rare.
In three cases circus people bought
six children to bring up as acrobats.
In one case a millionaire sought a
boy to bring up as his heir, as he had
disinherited his own son. The authori-
ties now insist on the most careful in-
vestigations into the status and mo-.
tives of the purchasers.
The news has got abroad in Hum
gary that there is ready market for
children in Temesvar, and the mothers
of illegitimate children are eager in
many cases to send their unhappy off,
spring to an institution where they
have such prospects.

THE WIND.

II danced DER the lush green meadows.
1t followed the winding stream,
Then stopped to rest in the willows.
1t searched in the dusky hollow
For the vanished flowers of spring;
And swung with its unseen fingers,
The twisted old grapevine swing.
1t wandered Ger fields of clover.
And sung with the honey bees.
1t rutfied the bright blue bonnets
OF the vioiets, meath the trees.
II fell asleep in the shadows,
In the long, sweet hour of noon,
When blazed the sun in the heavens,
And the earth lay in a swoon.
1t rushed with the happy children,
In their merry games at school,
And whispered of outdoor pleasures,
As they conned some tiresome rule.
1t moaned down the blackened chimneys,
With cry of woe and pain,
And strayed on tia storm hill
tops.
With the spirit Of the rain.
Il beat the time for the crickets.
As they piped' the same old strain,
And walked with the happy lovers,
Down the curves of wiid-rose lane.
1t braided of bloom ard fragrance
snare for lettering feet,
And whispered in ears so willing,
The story so ol6 and sweet.

York

shooting Butterflies.

An entomologist In South America
tried his utmost. with the aid OF the
most up to date appliances, to secure
some specimens OF a beautiful swai-
towtail butterfly. but with no success.
The little creature never came low
enough CHANGING to meet native
after one OF his many futile attempts,
he mentioned the fact. The native un-
dertook TO procure several live speci-
mems for a shilling apiece and on the
following day presented himself to the
delighted naturalist with six butter
tiies II was not till the entomoloGist
was about to leave the district that he
disclosed his method.
The natives are very skiIlfui In the
use Of their blow gun. often killing big
game with darts blown therefrom. In
this instance the man waited till the
butterfly had settled, then blew a pei
let at 1t with sufficient force To stupefy
1t for the time. The capture was easy.

A Care In the Failure.

"Did you ever notice that, AZ a rule
the persons who seek death and are
rescued from the grave never court tne
society of the dark angel again."
The propounder OF the question was
a hospital physician. and he proceeueo
to explain:
What | mean Is that Of all the per-
sons who attempt suicide and are 1oli'
ed but few try self murder a second
t.mc. Probably one-half, IT not more
of all those who try to kill themselves
are frustrated The percentage OF those
who leap into the dark river a second
time Is exceedingly small | have tried
to discover the reason for this from the
lips OF those who have gone through
the terrible experience, but | have not
met with success.
"It is queer that persons, after devot'
Ing weeks and months to consldera'
ton OF so momentous a question ana
deciding to end their existence, should,
when foiled, declare that they were
fools and swear never to do the like
again. Yet this is what is done In
large majority Of instances. Those VINO
have stared at death seem to live HE
anew. The past Is effaced; new light
seems to have dawned. The sunshine
is dearer. the air Ia purer. 1t Is the
