Buying Bird. to Free Them.

A1u1 1SAE~o ~ NASS AAASA1e
Birds are often purchased in the bird
market at Lucknow, India, in order to
be set free again. This is done by Hin
docs as work of merit and by Mo-
hammedans after certain rites have
been performed as an atonement, In
imitation Of the Jewish scapegoat. 1t
is essential that bird used for this
purpose should be strong enough to fly
away; but that does not induce the
cruel dealers to feed the. birds, or to
refrain from dislocating their wings or
breaking their legs. They put down
everything to good or bad luck. and
leave the customer to choose a strong
bird, IL he can find one. and to go away
IL he cannot. The merit obtained by
setting bird free is not attributed to
Deity. but it is supposed to come in a
large measure from the bird itself or
from its attendant spirit, and hence
birds Of good or bad omen, and es-
pecially kites and crows, are in much
demand and are regularly caught to be
sold for this purpose.

Death By Boiling.

In old England, before the law was
passed which prohibited "cruel and un-
usual forms of punishment" murder
ers were often condemned to death by
boiling. In such cases the victims
were chained In large kettles Of cold
water. which was gradually heated
until it caused the flesh to drop from
the bones. The last English victim Of
the boiling DEATH was one Rouse, q
cook. who, it was alleged, had killed
seventeen persons.
