The Reds and the Mills.

The new United States Minister to
France is said to be nursing a cold
preparatory to sailing away, and the
ladies who are compelled to stay at
home are envying Mrs. Reid her chance
of seeing the Exhibition. Mrs. Reid is
not really fine looking, but is very
pleasant. She is always nicely dressed,
but has no special taste in that direc-
ton. She went when young to Miss
Brackets school in New York. What
both Mr.. and Mrs. Reid are really
fortunate in is their fa~ther-in-law and
father, Darius Ogden Mills.
He has certainly accomplished
wonders during the past twenty-five
years. At that not very remote period
he kept a country tavern near Sing
Sing, and drove the hack himself. In
a lucky moment he went to Califor-
MIA. The fairy that presides over the
destinies of millionaires touched him
with her wand, and everything turned
to gold.
At present Mr.. Mills is a. rather
powerful looking man, with a large,
bald head, strong features, thin, COM
pressed lips, and a heavy chin. 1t is
the lips that do it; the thin one al
ways coming to the top.
He wears no mustache, but side
whiskers, like the other millionaires.
He dresses extensively, but has every
thing very plain.
1t is said that the only money he
has ever lost was when the late W.
H. Vanderbilt gave him the straight
tip" ON New York Central and Lake
Shore; and he lost $780, 900 in three
hours. Since then he has consulted
mainly with himself and gone ON
steadily accommodating.
Both he and his son have superb
homes. Mr.. Mills apparently intends
to live here permanently now.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reid will be well suited
for the French mission in one respect,
as they are accustomed to good cook
ing, paying their chef So, 500 a year.

One of the strongest plays ever
staged at Jacobs Theatre, Hoboken,
is "Silver Age" which was presented
there last evening. The plot is inter

Such a perfect treasure!

Now that the New York Yacht Club
has accepted the challenge af the Earl
of Dunraven to race for the Americas
Cup, the sporting eason can be said
to be fairly opened, and it will I'M
doubtedly be a great season.
Last year was n of rest and quiet
in yachting, and all the sailors are
looking forward with enthusiasm to a
year such as has never been seen.
What with the regattas of the new
Yacht Racing Association and the
three or four seventy footers' to be
built in anticipation of the Cup races,
everything will be jumping in this
direction.
In baseball there is a great increase
of interest, and the arrangements of
the clubs are better than ever before.
Of course there is the question of
where the Giants are to play, but be
it in Staten Island or at Oakland
Park, the interest of all the boys, old
and yonng, will remain unabated.
The lawn tennis enthusiast is al
ready stalking about, and he intends
raising a racket that will be heard to
the ends of the country.
Pure athletics follows close along,
and the monster indoor meetings OF
the winter will be followed by great
work on the cinder path. Nearly all
the cracksmen are in active training
and the runner are doing great work
in the cross-country run which follow
each other SO closely.
There is but little apparent activity
as yet among the oarsmen, but a tour
of the boat houses reveals a feeling OF
great earnestness and enthusiasm, and
the indications are that the great re-
gattas will be the most successful ones
of the decade.
Take it all in all Young America is
up in arms.

accompanied the Albatross expedition
as a naturalist, tells of curious ex-
perience in the South Pacific Ocean.
Years ago the Ecuador government
planted convict colony on Charles
Island, one Of the Galapagos group.
The convicts revolted, killed the Gov
ernor and escaped, leaving behind pigs,
cattle, donkeys, and horses. Since that
time no one was thought to live there,
and at Chatham Island, another of the
group, the Albatross party We're told
that Charles Island was entirely de.
serted. They were, therefore, rather
surprised when they visited Charles
Island to come upon a man nearly
naked, carrying a pig on his back
He was quite as surprised as they, and
was at first in great fear, but finally
they got him to talk. His hair and.
beard had grown to great length, and
he had lost all notion Of time. He said
that some years before he had come
from Chatham Island with a party in
search of a certain valuable moss, that
he had deserted his companions, who
had gone off without him, and since that
time he had been alone on the island.
He had lived on fruits and herbs. had
captured wild cattle by setting traps for
them, killed them with spear,
made by tying his pocket-knife to a
stick, and from their hides made hut.
He was glad to See the men again and
asked to be taken back to Chatham,
which was granted, of course. -New

4 RECKLESS ROOSTER.

Chickens are born with the pugna-
cious instinct largely developed. 1t IS
common thing to see little fuzzy
chicks sparring at each other, and mere
pullets will frequently fight until one or
the other is seriously injured
OF course all chickens will not fight,
and this difference in disposition may be
tested by placing piece of looking
glass against tree and laying train of
corn in front of it.
Some hens will discover what they
think is new arrival with mild curios-
ity, and merely look at it intently, per-
haps peering around behind the tree,
and then walk away. Others peck the
glass angrily, and insist upon fighting,
while few show the same noisy excite
ment that seizes upon most hens when
they see snake.
One who tried this trick on the old
autocrat of the barnyard tells of the
amusing result. Dropping his head
when some ten feet in front OF the glass,
he began the cautious advance by par
allels, which every one familiar with
poultry has seen before fight. But, Of
course, he soon lost his enemy by mov-
ing too far to one side.
After growing fiercely and looking
around uneasily for few moments, he
returns to the train of corn, and almost
instantly saw the strange rooster nearer
than before.
More stealthy approach, another fail
ure to keep sight of the foe, and greater
excitement, and third time he began
to eat, only to be startled by the hostile
presence nearer than ever.
At last he worked right up to the
glass and braced himself for the shock
OF combat, the counterfeit, of course,
following his every movement with
onainous celebrity. There was one fierce
peck at the angry head in the glass, and
then crash as the Infatuated champion
hurled himself against his likeness,
breaking the glass into hundred frag-
ments.
The mingling of establishment, rage,
and triumph in this birds appearance
as he whirled about, startled at the
cracking noise and bewildered at the
total disappearance of his enemy, was
comical to behold. Then he rushed
around behind the big pear tree, evil
IDENTIFY thinking that the cowardly
stranger might be hidden there. Not
finding him, the victor strutted about,
too excited to eat, and cackled long and
loud over his unprecedented triumph.
The other rooster was entirely wiped
out of existence, and the old fighter
could scarcely credit the evidence of his
| own senses.-GOLde7a Dams.
