1T is not at all surprising to note
the opposition to Carnivals and street
Fairs, by some towns and organiza-
tions, when We note the ignorance dis
PLAYED by committees in arranging for
the attractions. Carnivals and street
fairs are simply means devised to en-
tertain the people and they can be
made good or bad things for a town OF
community, by offering to the public
cheap, trashy attractions such as are
usually imposed upon the smaller
towns. 1t is impossible to raise sutii-
Gent funds, when the merchants are
less thrifty, and as a means OF replen.
ishlnr the fund, they book any old
show that happens to come their way

Lions Like Lavender Water.

The old theory OF animal liking for
scents denied them any share in such
pleasures unless they suggested the
presence of their food or prey. But
such a reason can hardly be alleged for
a lions liking for lavender water. The
writer. wishing TO test for himself the
reported fondness of many animals for
perfumes. paid series of visits to the
geological garden provided with bottles
OF scent and packet OF cotton wool
and there tried some harmless expert
ments which apparently gave great
satisfaction TO many of the inhabitants.
Lavender water was the fsyorite scent.
and most of the lions and leopards
showed unqualified pleasure when the
scent was poured on the wool and put
into their eages.-Spectator.
