Two Famous Archers.

A curious lawsuit regarding the own
ership CT lands was tried recently in
CeylOn. The trouble originated at an
archery competition held by King Para
krania Bahu VI. who ruled over Cey-
Ion in the fifteenth century. i'll which
there We're two champions who outdiS-
tanced all the rest and alike hit every
mark that was submitted TO them. The
king was about TO divide the prize when
from Il neighbOring pond Il frog was
heard 10 croak. The king seized upon
Il solution and declared that whichever
could hit the frog. aiming only by ear.
should gain the prize. One of the arch
ers transfiXed the frog with the arrow.
So delighted was the monarch that, be-
sides the original prize. he gave to the
winner an estate of 10000 acres. The
claimants i'm the lawsuit were the de-
scendants of the archer.

The Enicurenn Badger.

The badger is a great epicure in eggs,
and much of the hostility of game
keepers TO this animal lies undoubtedly
in the fact that it will, when it gets the
chance, devOur a whole nest of par
fridge or pheasant eggs. Badgers are
said also TO be fond of honey. and,
knowing the extraordinary craving of
their South African cousin, the ratel.
for this delicacy. l should say il is not
improbable that they may occasionally
partake of il. 1t is certain that these
animals have a particular liking for
the nest and larvae of wasps and wild
bees, digging down with strong feet
and infinite perseverance till they at
tain their object. These animals are
said 10y keepers TO kill and devour free
ly young rabbits. That they do partake
of this fare at times is, think, certain,
but that they destroy any very consid-
cradle number is more than doubtful.
Still. the badger is carnivorous in his
tastes and is not, even by his kindliest
friends. 20 be absolved from devouring
at times tender rabbits and even the
young OF game birds when he can get
hold of them.-LOngman's
