Tha Men Who Gather Leeches In th
Swamps of England.
Pale and lean, he spoke in a low
voice, crumbling a water cracker:
. "Dlvin' is hard work, and sulphur
minin' is hard, work, but how' a you
liko to h hair at 4 shlllin' rinv?
That ain't quite a dollar. '
I was human bait for a leech dealer
in England all one spring. It was back
in the eightieB, but I ain't never recov-
ered the healthy color and weight what
1 lost , I guess I never will now.
"Down Norfolk - way I . Raited down
' in the Norfolk - broads. p Broads is
! swamps. . All them swamps, .together
i with the mild, moist climate, makes
Norfolk a great place for Seeches, n Me
and a dozen other- chaps was leech
bait. - - ' -..-.,
- "We would wade in with our breeches
rolled up to our knees, and as soon
we'd feel a leech on our-legs we'd tear
him off and drop him in a basket slung
from the shoulder. Quick as thunder
we'd do it, but he'd be - considerable
plumped out even in that ltttle while.
And when a dozen leeches settled, on
you together the last of .'em by the
time you got round to him would be as
fat and heavy as a lump of lead, whilst
you'd be that much lighter natcherly.
"In the late spring the leeches took
to deep water. Then the bait had to
strip and wade in up to their chins.
"With all that surface to look after, we
played a losin' game with the leeches.
The quickest - of us couldn't stand
more'n four hours of it without most
faintin' from weakness.. And the pain!
For some parts of the human bait is
mighty sensitive, I tell you. "
"The trade's died out now. : There's
no more call for leeches, and it's a
good thing. Bein' bait is too hard on
a man. It's worms' work,'.' New Or

Way Rajah Birbar Saved
Head by Ready Wit.
Rajah Birbar, a boon companion of
the Emperor Akbar, the great con
temporary of Queen Elizabeth, was a
notable wit. The story goes that the
emperor once sent Birbar. with a mes
sage to the king of Persia.
. The latter, for some reason or other,
bore a grudge toward the rajah and in
order to see him lose the emperor's
favor thought of a device.
He asked Birbar: "Which of us two
is greater in power and majesty I or
Akbar? But, mind you, if your an
swer Is in any way unfavorable to me
I will order your head to be struck
off." -
"Your majesty," replied Birbar with-
. out loss of time, "is like the full moon.
while. the emperor, my master, resem
bles the crescent"
The king was highly pleased with
his reply and let him go. j :;:
This news was, however, carried to
Akbar, who was wild with rage when
he heard it ' When Birbar returned to
his master's court he was asked to ex
plain himself on pain of death;
"My comparison," - said J Birbar,
''meant only this much and nothing
mpre that the i decline of the Persian
king's power had commenced,1 just as
the full moon, after it is full, goes on
waning, while your majesty is destined
to rise oh and one till, like the crescent
becoming the full moon in time, it will
shine forth with magnificent splendor
of glory." ..
The emperor, who was a great patron
of wit and wisdom, heaped the rajah
with rewards.

ant, Declares Theosophist Chief.'
"Woman Not to Be a Suffragette."
Surrounded by followers and stu
dents in her apartments in a New York
hotel, Mrs. Annie Besant, chief priest
ess of the theosophists, who recently
arrived in the metropolis from India,
discussed the new civilization she fore
sees close at hand. The day was
gloomy and rainy without
'Through this misty rain," she said.
we cannot see as far or as clearly as
we can when the air is not reeking
with moisture.' I refer, of course, to
seeing with the physical eye. The third
eye, about which I have spoken since I
have been here (New York) this time,
penetrates all mists. Every one of the
few really great : leaders of mankind
since time began has possessed this
third eye. It was by means of this
they were able to see through the ages
and back across the cycles of the past'
In the coming era that lost sense
will be restored to everybody. Then
the spiritual age will be ushered in.
Until thep we may expect to make no I
progress. We have progressed as far 1
materially as it is possible to go. The :
change is bound to come or the race
will die of its own inefficiency.
Airships In the Past.
"The people oMndia have more-near- 1
ly preserved the full use- of the third '
eye than any other people. I have
been living among them for years,, and .
nothing in their civilization has star- 1
tied me more than this. Their authen- !
tic history comes down in an unbroken ;
line reaching back to ages that make- J
our civilization seem a mere upstart
They know that before our ancestors
had even come upon the world's stage
at all the air was being traveled by
their forbears.
But even without their aid I had
learned through the third eye that the
airship, as we call it, was in common .
use in the past andvin many essentials
a better age. The airship then in use
was lifted from the earth by a pro
pulsive force, as seen through occult
ism, and sailed the air as serenely as
a stanch craft sails a summer sea."
Mrs. Besant was asked for fuller de
tails of the new civilization than she
has yet outlined.
Primarily," she said, "spirit will be
the dominating characteristic, just as.
intellect Is the dominating characteris
tic of this civilizaton.' In all ages we
find in the superior man something be
yond : the strictly- intellectual. This
was illustrated in the Christ. -
. :.' Divorce Wjll Disappear. j
"It is that quality that will mark
the new civilization. Men will be more
nearly equal than now. 1 do not mean
this in the socialistic sense. Nature
is not socialistic.' The niajority never
rules. It is the minority always that
rules. It is the aristocrat that leads,
not the plebeian.- So necessarily there-!
will be distinctions between men in the
new- civilization. As I see it there
will be no divorce in the coming dis
pensation. This civilizaton we are
now living in brought in divorce. Di
vorce will disappear just as the In
numerable other shortcomings of this
era will vanish. . The sequences will
be more clearly defined. As we have
developed up to this era we have had
periods or stages of passion, emotion
and intellect. The next in the line of
sequence will be spiritual. In the
United States, where there is a won
derful mixture of racial bloods, the
entrance, into the new civilization
ought to be easier than among any
other people. Duty will take the place
of right in the new era. By 'right' I
mean the assertion of individual claim.
Duty merely is the recognition of your
neighbor's claim."
But would not this tend to destroy
what is regarded as the cornerstone of
our civilization, the family unit?"
Stronger Family Ties.
''Not at all." replied Mrs. Besant;
"The family unit will be maintained In
the new civilization without the ad
ventitious aids of laws and conven
tions. ; The sense of duty will make di
vorce foreign to desire as foreign as
fire to water. The duty of the fam
ily to the state will be developed so
plainly that written laws will not be
necessary. Strength will be subject
always to service. Every child will
make an equal appeal to the adult and
still the family ties will be stronger
than they are now." .
"And religion?"
"There will always be need of. reli
gion, but it will be more rational, more
tolerant and will not impose dogmas.
Religion win cease being dogmatic and
become mystical." '-- .
"And what will woman be in the
new dispensation?"
"Woman, replied Mrs. Besant with
animation., "will not be a suffragette.
Nor will she be both a mother and a
mill hand. If she prefers being a mill
hand and few women-will she will
not try to be a mother. . Whn she is
a mother she will be supported prop
erly by her husband.
- "Children " brought into the world
under , the new -dispensation will be
taken care of by their parents. They
will hot be farmed out, ; The mother's
natural functions will be more pro
nounced than now. . Suffrage In the
new civilization will not be 'a matter
of sex, but of merit,. of intelligence, of
spirit. The proper sort of women will
vote, as will also only the proper aort
of men." New York .American. :
