cHEETAH HUNT IN india
Sport Was Once Very Popular With
English Residents-Is Not
Rare Beast.

The cheetah hunt which the vice
roy witnessed recently at Hyderbad
reminds one that cheetah hunting was
an extremely popular sport with In.
dian princes in former days, although
the initiation of European forms OF
sport has done much In these times
to rob 1t of ancient vogue.
1t was practiced both by Hindu
and Mohammedan chieftains over the
greater part of India, for the cheetab
even now is not rare beast and o
century or so ago must have beer
common enough.
Another animal used In the sams
way by Indian mobiles was a sort Of
lynx, spelled variously as shoe
goose" "syahgush." But this was
used much more rarely than the chez
tab. However, II was not only In.
dams who INDUCED in this form oil
sport.
1t was enjoyed and practiced BY
Europeans as we'll In the days when
they were content to abide in Indie
for fifteen years at a stretch AND
wnen they lived PIndienne in a way
unknown to modern times. More thar
one Of the Company's nabobs kept
their own cheetahs, which were fire.
quently presents from friendly chiefs
II may easily be imagined that chez
tab hunting was very good sport ant
welcomed by the servants of the
Company as an excellent substitute
for the coursing which was familia,
to them in England and which. like
the cheetah hunt, has vanished be

The March American Magazine


The March American Magazine con-
tains the first authentic report published
in this country of certain highly inn
portant discoveries i'm London labora-
tory as TO the relative strength, both
mental and physical, of the younger
children OF family as compared with
the older children. After examining
thousands of cases the evidence seems to
be that the first two children i'm family
are not, in the majority of cases, as
strong, mentally and physically as those
that come later. The point for Ameri-
can readers of Course is that economic
pressure which increases the cost of
living, reduces the size of families and
weakens the mental and, physical
strength of nation.
There are many other important arti-

ample, Stewart Edward Whites story

w. C.. T. u. Notes

We must not overlook the fact that
we confront a foe that has ill-gotten
wealth without limit and no con
science in the spending of it. Love for
country, human character, domestic
happiness, personal reputation, have
no place in its code of warfare, Bril-
berry is one of its mildest methods for
accomplishing its purpose. 1t laughs
at virtue, it mocks religion, il scofis at
common honesty, it defies every appeal
of outraged womanhood and robs help
less childhood OF fair chance. IT is
drunk with the blood of the millions it
has slain. 1t lowers public intelligence
il destroys public conscience; it forbids,
wherever pc ssib'e, right representation
OF public intelligence and public con
science i'm our law-making bodies and
in the executive department of govern
ment rs well. And, when laws are
enacted, this reasonable institution
tramples upon them with IMMUNITY; it
refuses TO he regulated; il is incapable
Of reformation; ait would rather die
than obey law There is nothing left
but to abolish it from every foot Of
territory everywhere as speedily as an
advancing civilizati on and a develop
ing conscience will permit.
