Buying Birds to Free Them.

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 a 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 strong
bird, If he can find one, and to 60 away
If he cannot. The merit obtained by
setting a 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 espe-
cially kites and crows, are in much
demand and are regularly caught to be
sold for this purpose.

LIONS IN A FIGHT.

0~@O%~~N~~~

While writing of the nature and dis
position of lions In her book, Behind
the Scenes with Wild Animals" Ellen
Velvin describes a battle between
number Of these brutes which took
place in showroom at Richmond,
Va. 1t came off at a rehearsal, SO
that the public lost the chance to see
1t. Only one man was concerned In
the fight. That was Captain Bona
vita, who had managed twentyseven
lions at one time. The cause of the
fight was the arrival Of newcomers
from their native jungles.
When the arena was ready for the
rehearsal, Bonavita had considerable
trouble in getting the animals out, and
when the first one finally appeared, it
was not In the slow, stately manner
In which he usually entered, but in
a quick, restless way, which showed
that he was In an excitable state. He
was followed by seventeen others, all
In the same nervous condition.
Instead of getting on the pedestals
In their usual way, the lions, with one
exception, a big, muscular fellow, be-
gan to sniff at the corners of the
arena, where the newcomers had been
exercising, and every moment added
to their rage. Their fierce natures were
excited by jealousy, and this soon cul.
minated in rage and passion, so that
when one lion presumed to go over to
a corner and follow up the shifting OF
another, the first one turned upon him
and bit him savagely. The other
promptly retaliated. and in the twink.
ling Of an eye they were fighting
6ercely.
The temper Of the others flashed uI
like gunpowder, and almost instantly
seventeen lions were engaged in 6
wild, free fight.
The one big fellow which had climb
ed on his pedestal when he entered
still sat there, but at this moment tn,
remaining nine lions appeared In thu
arena, followed by Bonavita.
The animals rushed forward into tn,
battle; the big lion with an ugly snar
leaped from his pedestal into the thicl
of the fray, and in an instant twenty
seven lions were fighting with teetl
and claws In the midst Of 1t al
stood one man, calm, self-possessed, bu

highest tension. for he knew better
than any one else that his life hung
In the balance.
Bonavita vainly tried to regain mas
terry over the fighting beasts. The
lions were no longer the puppets Of a
show; they were the monarchs Of the
forest, wild and savage.
Seeing his power gone, Bonavita did
his best to save his own life. He sue
ceeded in getting out, thanks to his
wonderful nerve-for he had to jump
over the backs Of the fighting animals,
and In doing so he received a deep
wound in the shoulder.
There was nothing to be done but
to let the lions fight 1t out, which they
did. For nearly two hours that aw-
full battle ragged, while grew sick and
faint; but, when the lions were ex-
hausted Bonavita, wounded as he was
went in and drove them into their
cages.
Many of the lions after this terrible
fight were seriously injured, and had
to be treated for wounds, cuts and
tears; but they had fought, themselves
out, and the next week they wen,

MERITS OF THE CAREY ACT.
Settlers Can Acquire Title to Irri-
gated Land Easily.

Settlers Can Acquire Title to Irri-
gated Land Easily.
The people Of the east are as rule
familiar only with the different irriga-
ton enterprises undertaken by the
United States government, says the
World To-Day. But In the west there
is not little difference Of opinion as
to the practical merits from the settlers
point Of view of the federal plan Of
reclamation and settlement and the
State plan under the Carey act.
The latter, which is best illustrated
in the Twin Falls project, empowers
the State to undertake or to contract
for huge irrigation enterprises, permits
the settler to contract for a quarter
section or less, and when the water il
ready to be delivered in his bitches
to settle and begin to improve and
make living off the land. He Is then
able to acquire title to his holdings.
provided he clears and cultivates at
least one-eighth within a year, when
community can begin public improve
ments.
Under the Newlands act the Federal
government conducts the enterprise and
the settler must wait FIVE years before
ne can acquire his title and must move
on when he files his claim, irrespective
of the prospects Of obtaining water.
Taxes cannot be levied. since the prop
erty Is not taxable. There is no doubt.
Of course, that the Carey act, allowing
Of more flexible method of bringing
great areas under cultivation and turn
ing them over to settlers, must be count
ed as highly important factor in the
development Of the great west. Nor IL
there as yet danger Of huge corporate
holdings. At present the average hold
ing Is ninety acres.

Motto for the Graveyard,

Shortly before one of the new Gene

the north was opened the man who do
mated the land used to walk through
the property every day. One day he
took his gardener with him to make
suggestions as to the location of several
flower beds he wished to have placed in
various sections Of the new cemetry.
On their way home he told the gar
dener he thought there was one thing
lacking in the cemetery and that was a
gateway at the entrance with a motto
Inscribed thereon. He said: John. I

CHAPTER XIX.

Early the following morning, while
Charles was at his breakfast, and before
the arrival Of his clerk, he was surprised
by a visit from the Bishop Of Denham.
The bishop opened his business stand
ing, saying he had no time to sit. 1t
appeared that he was trustee for some
thing or other, very trivial affair, but
1t touched the rights of the church, as he
solemnly worded it, and an action at law
was unavoidable If his young friend felt
sufficient confidence in himself to do
them justice, he would see that he was
appointed leading counsel; It might be a
lift to him In his profession.
"Of course all this Is sub rosa" re-
marked the prelate. you will receive
particulars from the solicitors, together
with the brief. I'll write down one or

you can master them, I'll mention you to

Of sitting to my desk, you will find all
you require at hand" said Charles, ris-
ing to pilot him to 1t.
Down sat the bishop, and wrote rap
idly for five minutes. "Have you some
