THE MARKETS For its music alone the song of the V iark is almost the most melodious 01+ any bird's. The tone and quality are admirable and the volume of sound as- l tonishing. It can be heard clearly `when the lark- has mounted; as it sometimes does, beyond recognition by` normal eyesight. The volume otsound is also most noticeable when `a caged 3 lark is heard, singing as `it does far nearer to the heater than the bird in the sky. `But apart from the, quality and music of the song the circum- stances in which it is uttered render it an `astonishing feat. ___ .__L-_ A-` MONEY TO Lo_AI_u._ -._o_\1 rug...

The Way the Excise Question 'W8I Handled by It: Sonnl. A translation of King Hamourabrs code, written about 2,250 years before- Christ. gives us an insight into the life of thewgreat cltyot Babylon at that remote time and or the way in which the excise question was handled by its legislators. \v...._I.. -1"! ;I_- .1-_I-.... -3 .._..1._-.. __.I Nearly all the dealers of wines and liquors at that time were women, as manyvot the laws translated from the code speak only `of women as sellers of drinks. Severe measures were` taken against those who adulterated the wines or_ mixed them with water, so as to-safeguard the purity of the article for the use or the public. The barmaid was held responsible for all-disorderly scenes or drunkenness in her premises, and death was the penalty for those who did hot denounce all cases ot drunkenness to the police. Those woin-. en who. were employed in the temples were forbidden to enter public hostel- ries under penalty of death. and even drinking in,private was forbidden to them. _ _ V l ' e Special _pollce oicers were detailed for the enforcement of the excise laws in the city of. Babylon, but then as well as now the otncers charged with this duty were, it we are to believe the code in question,` either negligent -in `the performance of their duties or too willing to accept bribes from the lbarmaids in the shape of drlnkseor ?even money.

In a1lWa.bout 158,000 gallons went out from the works. 98.000 of which were consun1e'd by the Grand Trunk". 'Where did the -other 60,000 go to ? There surely is not a con- su_m=pti.cn of that amount in the city during those hours. Undoubted- ly there is not, and the only con- clusion thatcan be arrived at is that a `big leakage takefs 'place some- where.

Clerk.- A lark will soar and singduring a 1 space often minutes consecutively. The 1 rapidity with which the pectoral mus- ; cles are working during this period 1 may be judged from the fact that the 1 bird makes not less than from ve to six beats of the wing per second. The 1 beats are usually in set of from three 1 to five, the bird pausing for a moment 4 as if to take "a fresh start-after the 1 Interval. When chaed by the meriin 1 ` !aicon, skylarks make their finest ex- 1 hibitions of flight. ascending into the 1 air to heights which have been esti- 1 hmated as being not less than a thou- 1 stand feet. Sometimes the bird uses ; the same means of ascent as when it is ; soaring and singing, rising vertically ~ "by incesant beats of the wing. . In the 1 language _of the falconer, these are 1 termed mounting larks, and their V bbject is to outiiy the hawk directly, 1 shaking off its pursuit during the as- 4 cent. Others prefer to rise by ying in 1 I1 spiral. which the falcon imitates. ` Mr. E. B. Michell, in his volume on The Art and Practice of Hawking," says: The one bird may .be circling : from right to left and the other from left to right, and neither seems to guide the direction of its rings by any refer- ence to those which the other-is mak- ing. It is now a- struggle to see which can get up fastest, and it is astonish- . - lng to see to what a height such ights will sometimes reach. As soon as a . lark is 800 feet high it can drop. almost like a stone, into any cover within a radius of 200 yards from-the spot just under it, ailowancebeing made for the effect of the wind. But 800 feet is not high for a ringing tlight; at least there is nothing unusual about it. A lark does not go out of sight until it is much above that height, and it is no? extraordinarythingrfor: it to do this." The lark seldom sings late in theday. It can be tempted to rise in a burst of melody for one final ascent if the even- ing sun-breaks through the clouds after rain. but as a rule it is silent long before the sun has descended into the western bed of cloud. _We have Mil- ton s authority that it is up and in song before dawn. But thosewho have Heard the lark begin its flight` And singing startle the dull night are not easily found. 7 though in the A. height of the pairing time it may very T possibly be beforehand with aurora in greeting its .mate. But as a rule-the - lark sings at sunrise, as the ortolan` `eats. . Darkness depresespit and keeps it mute... but a gleam of sun is the sig- nal for it to-ascend. Obviously rain. `would make it most; diicuit for it to soar, both by- adding tothe `weight of ",- -ics body from the moistiire~.5c`a?ught. `in the feathers and by -wetting :the webs) of the pinions; 'so;th`elark only Jsoars -in` .
