LIVE AND TENDER PLAYrHINGs.

Complaint is made in the large cenS ters, because there the evil of it is all the more emphasized, against the prac- tice that has been growing for the past few years of buying live rabbits and chickens for Easter. It is of course an attraction that pleases the children and those who do not think beyond that are bound to be inclined to buy. So far so good, but 1t is after these little pets, which are not intended for such treat ment, are taken into the apartment houses and then get away to live the best they can, starve to death or be killed that the bad features of this practice are dis closed.
 Efforts directed toward educating the people who buy such things means a long and hard task. There are those who have had experience with such cases who can appreciate the fact that the cruelty to animals involved in those instances ought to be avoided, but to those who haven't had experience there is the at traction which those who developed the idea fully understood. Just as long as poses 1t can be expected that there will be many who will buy.
 Thus the best results against such a custom can be directed with best effects against those who are back of the idea. those who are providing the rabbits and chickens for such disposition and those who sell them. If they are not there to get the attention of the buyers they will not be subjected to the cruelties.
 If it could be known what happens to So many of the bunnles and the chicks there can be no question but what there would be a more general opposition to the toleraton of them for Easter pets than is furnished by the drain upon the nocket1book. Care of such is a decidedly different proposition in the big cities than elsewhere but 1t is where they are used as playthings rather than pets thaa the greatest objection comes.
 The cruelty involved makes it advi5- able that the practice should be a.ban- doned before 1t gets any more extensive

IN THE DAYS NEWS
INDIA's RELIGIONS
 POLITICALLY SIGNIFICANT


 India and her problems and mSvs~4 ments cannot be understood unless something is known of the tangled threads of numerous religions that are entwined with every fibre of her life" says bulletin issued from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society. Religious antagonism has heretofore been the rock upon which every pro- posed\ all-India movement has broken up," continues the bulletin, although the recently imprisoned leader, Ghandi, has been able, in a measure, to enlist followers from some of the most divergent of India's jarring creeds.
 Religion is the soul of Indian life, the spice in an otherwise unendurable existence. To the Hindu, Mohamme- dan or Sikh, religion is by no means nominal but is an actual force in everyday affairs. Religious festivals mark the changes of the year. The temple grounds aEe the meeting places of the people and the forums of public opinion.
 'Asceticism is both subjecttvely and effectively attractive and holy men abound from the Hima1ayas, beloved by Rims guru, to the tropical sea be- side which Dravidian temples raise their gopuramS, and Christian church es show their spires.
 Probably nowIhete is religion used with more profitable results by charlatans and impostors than in India. So great a virture is charity that the very mountebank is consid- cred a public benefactor. The Mos fem mendicant often lends real dignity Co the dignified word fakir.' But

THE VOICE OF HE OSTRICH

Like many other birds, ostriehes lose or cease to use their voices in captivity, and very few visitors to the zoo know that they have voices at all In their natural surroundings, howevsr they are far from dumb, for they have a song like the roar a lion. In fact pr. Livingston said he could only tell the difference between the two by the fact that the ostriches roared by day and the lions by night.

Gen. Feng Yu Hsiang, who has been appointed Governor of Shensi. now rules over what is probably the finest race in China. Not only is he one of the big military lead CTS, but since his conversion to the Christian faith he has proved that the Oriental can show his Occi- dental brother a point or two in Christianity.
 Recently he captured a brigade of rebels, and instead of killing or imprisoning them he assembled the beaten soldiers in his camp, read them lecture on patriotism, hand ed them money and sent them home.

T can tell you the rest of that speech said the husband, who saw through things. And I quite agree with you. It is the women who save money, but they also spend it. After a woman scrimps and twists pennies out of her houselxeep- ing allowance and suddenly finds that she has $100 ahead what does she do with it? Instead of putting it into a nice little bond that her husband can hook in the days of diversity, she purchases an oriental rug, an automobile, seal skin coat and the silver service she has been longing for desperately. No idea of economy whatever!

OFFICER HASKELL
BATTLES ATTEMPT
TO BREAK INTO STORE

An attempt to break and enter
the clothing store of Charles F. Bio
deau Co., 262 Water street, was flus-
trated late one night this week,
probably by the arrival of Police Of
ficer Charles Haskell on the scene.
After previously that night having
made the rounds of Commercial
street, inspecting the locks on the
store windows, Officer Haskell re-
turning noticed that the glass in the
window at the rear of the Bilodeau
store had been cut with diamond.
Just above the window lock the glass
cut could be seen in circular shape.
From the evidence, it appeared that
a thief had intended to cut out
piece of glass, unlock the window
and enter the store, but for some
reason or other had suddenly given
I'D his task. Very likely, he noticed
the police officer returning anQ the
rays of his flash light, and made a
quick escape in the darkness.
