English Admiration of sullivan,

Sulliyan's English TRIP is like hlnl-
self--phenomenal. The English admire
physical manhood as much, almost. as
the Greeks did, and this is a large ele-
ment in the furore that Sullivan has
raised. He is adored, Of course, by the
lower class because Of his ability as q
fighter, but the unusual attention he
has attracted is due to something more
than this, and 1t Is because he is In a
gladitorlal way the lineal successor Of
Hercules or Sampson--th combination
OF phenomenal strength with an ability
to use it Extensively. The American
press doesn't show Its sense, but the.
lack of 1t sneerlng at Sullivan as q
"bruiser. - for that is just what he isn't.
There 10 many a blacksmith, per-
haps, who can hit a harder blow, and
that is the bruiser style---the style Of
the mule that can kick. But 1t is Sui.
livan's science and quickness that are
moro remarkable than his strength. He
is as light on his feet as q dancing
master, and can use his arms With the
quickness of a practlced juggler. Phsi-
cal perfection may not be q very high
ideal, but it is preferable to the namby.
pambyism that wants to decry it as an
attribute wholly british. There is yet
room for the truth Of the scriptures
that "the glory Of young men Is their
strength; and the beauty Of old men is
the grey head"

HUNTING THE BUsTA1sD.

The drachWa,} as r lsslans call the
bustard, Is ha true bird of the steppe.
high grounds have no attraction for 1t
and so long hs the weather Is open, it
scorns the shelter Of reel and under
wood, camping out like vertible no.
mad, on the bare steppe, and nesting
in the open. where it can find plenty of
grass, of which, by the way, 1t can eat
enormous quantities. Toward the
middle Of November great proportion
OF the birds migrate, and do not return
until the end Of March, but large num-
bers remain behind an winter in the
more southerly parts or Russia, In the
region stretching from the Dneister
and Dneiper right away to the Don and
even the Ural. Why so many Of the
birds should resist the migratory in
stlnct when their fellows wing their
way to warmer countries is a question
which ornithologlsts have yet to settle.
In winter the birds are found associat.
ed in large numbers las many as eighty
or a hundred together. But this does
not arise from any desire for compan.
lonship, nor have the fowls any com.
mon purpose to serve in so associating.
1t is due to the simple fact that the area
within which food is to be had becomes
more and more c1rcumscribed as the
weather gets colder. And 1t is to be
observed that the parties composing the
flock never mingle. If from any cause
such a body, eighty or hundred
strong, be disturbed, 1t will Instantly
break up into three or four troops, in
in which every individual appears TO
know its place. II, again, one Of theee
smaller divisions OF twenty or thirty bo

shelter beneath the nearest underwood
or brush; and at such times the hunter
may look in vain for. tile bustard. But
with an exceptionally strong frost. or
cold snap lasting more than a couple Of
days, comes the sportsman's opportuni.
ly. Then the poor creature falls an easy
prey to its enemies, for at such time
1t is subject to, strange disability. The
feathers Of its wings freeze q covering
of. ice forms over them and the, bird is
unable to rise. During thenight heavy
hoarfrost that prevails during except.

A Pathetic Blizzard Episode.

The most pathetic case in Bonhommie
County (where alone sixty or seventy
persons froze to death) was that OF
Farmer FIELD near Avon. He had
been In town to sell some corn, The
storm broke out on his return trip.
His horse stumbled and fell and could
not be made to raise again. Farmer
Field continued his way on foot. and
had gotten nearly home, when exhaus-
ton and cold seized him ana he fell
down and died. Toward evening his
wife, seized with terror and unrest,
dressed herself and went out to search
FOR her husband, leaving the two little
children In the house by O. warm stove.
After stumbling around for thousand
yards in the binding now.storm, she,
too, became benumbed, ana stumbled
over something in the road. She fell
and died. The next day the neighbors
found her frozen stiff in the road, lean
ing over the corpse Of her husband.
lie Lad been that something which had
brought her to the ground. The two
children were likewise found dead In
the house, the fire having gone out in
the stove when the mother had not re-
turned, and the little ones freezing to
death.
