Peasants and Quail Bred in ana Ener-
nous Avlary.


California may w. II boast of its big
trees, its waterfalls Of the Yosemite. and
its magnificent fruit and vegetable prod
acts, but il has added another laurel to
its crown in possessing the largest aviary
in the world An hours journey from
San Francisco by water and rail. the
Chronicle of that city says, brings one TO
thequiet little town of San Pablo, in Con.
ira Costa county, and short drive from
there is the old well known Alvaradc
rancho, now owned by Henry +. Emeric.
Over an area of $500 acres of fertile
ground are scattered orchards and wheat
fields that yield wonderful crops, and
near the center Of this domain is the old
home of Mr.. Emeric's father, now de-
ceased. It is a quaint structure. with
shaded verandas, and its roof is robed in
season with a mantel of pure white
Castilian roses. Fronting the house are
parterres of choice flowers of innumer-
able kinds, bright with color and as
fragrant as the breeze waited odors OF
Ceylon. There are, in fact, $40 varieties
Of roses alone to be seen, and in the con.
Servatory there are rare orchids and
other valuable plants.
Through the vista Of weeping willows
and peach and apple trees, heavily laden
with bellhowers and Winter Nellies, the
aviary is seen. This feat re of the place
is an airy structure of closely netted wire
sustained at intervals Of i6 feet by
wooden uprights, forming perfect cage
1t is 175 feet long by so feet wide. With
in its confines is a miniature forest of
ounce trees, the tops of which emerge
through the nettings. This, in addition
to a covert of thick brush, affords admi.
rable shelter for the birds in summer,
while in the winter they have the use of
large house that is in the cage for their
protection against the elements. With
commendable foresight Mr.. Emeric has
stocked this aviary with English pheas-
ants, and there are also hundreds of quail
there, merely as side issue.
Mr.. Emeric estimates that he will have
over 400 pheasants next season, and he
proposes to set loose 100 or more of them
each year to run wild through the coun-
sry and will give many away to those
who desire to propa .;ate them. This will

of bird shooting, and besides will assist
materially in increasing the numbers of
what are now rare species of fowl in
this State. The pheasants are fed with
wheat, and occasionally chopped liver is
given to them. They are crossed with
Bantam hens, the result being game
cocks that are as pugnacious as their inn
ported sires, and the pheasant is notably
a fighting bird. The golden pheasants
are only fit for an aviary, and occupy
the position that Sevres vase does in
drawing room. Mr.. Emeric has just
completed negotiations to have large
invoice of bob whites sent to him from
the East next spring, and then he will
increase the proportions of his aviary to
three times its present size.

He was taking pleasure trip through
this country, and was unused to the ways
of its citizens, which may explain his ac-
tion. He met a friend, showed him
card, and asked him to go with him to
the address on it.
Whats the matter?" asked the friend.
'"Why, this gentleman, explained the
foreigner, "helped me out of a very EN-
barrassing position. You see, through
carelessness got caught on a street car
with nothing but a draft in my pocket,
and he paid my fare. I insisted on hav-
ing his card, and now I'm going around
to thank him agaiu and pay him the
money
"The nickel?"
Certainly
"Don't do it"
@But owe il to him."
at makes no difference; he'll be an
cry"
And he was. He said the stranger
must have thought him mighty hard up
or close listed to come chasing after him
with nickel, and he Indignantly refused
to take it.
"But, sir, said the stranger, with sur
prise, II owe it to you. l don't wish to
have other people paying my street car
fare.
"offer him a cigar" whispered tho
friend.
The foreigner promptly followed in
structions.
viii you join me in q smoke, then2r
he asked, putting away the nickel and
taking out a handsome cigar case.
"Why, thank you, was the reply, and
in few moments the three were smok-
ing.
ASK him to have something" sug-
gested the friend again.
Again the foreigner followed instruc.
tions, and they promptly adjourned to a
place where something could be had.
Here each man felt it incumbent upon
him to buy "round." Then the for
cigner and hisfriend started for the hotel,
and the former remarked:
@Queer ways you have here.
How sol" asked the friend.
@Why, he was too proud to accept five
cents that was due him, but he would
take cigar and drink that were not.
And because he did me favor had to
take three drinks that l did not want and
smoke cigar that was saving for after
dinner. If paid my car fare that way
I'd be drunk and broke all the time. ~

PRICE ONE CENT
That Is What old Beoksteres Are les
Many Women in New Yerk.


Every old bookstore In New York is
sentimental center for the women OF ths
neighborhood. The coming Of cheap.
paper bound books has widened the popu.
larity of the old bookstore There was
time when the chief patrons of such place.
were mostly bookworms and keen col.
lector. Now every dealer In second
hand books looks to the sale of papes
bound novels for considerable part OF
his profits. In fact every old bookstore

dreds, perhaps thousands. of well thumbed
paper bound novels, many of them
bought probably by weight at Q cents
pound, and sold at from to 10 cents
each. These books are carefully culled,
the worst are resold to junk dealers and
the best displayed in trays on the
counters. Scores of women have theis
eyes upon each new lot. Saturday nighs
is their time for buying. for Sunday is an
idle day when one may revel in the senti.
ment of a cheap novel. Women that
have made book buying study buy three
books at q time, and after reading two
return them in exchange for one not yes
read. In this way they obtain thres
weeks supply with one outlay Of money.
There are high literary discussions over
these cheap books, and certain authors
have a special popularity in particular
neighborhoods. The same volumes ars
bought over and over again until they ara
fit only for the junkman. Meanwhile the
profits of the dealer accumulate with
compound interest The book that cost
a fraction of a cent he sells three or fous
times for 20 times the cost and buys back
over and over again at half price.
Dealers in French, Italian, Spanish
German, and Hebrew books work upon
much the same plan. Circulating libraries

in South Fifth avenue says that 100000
New Workers read French, and that HE
sales are chiefly to French speaking
Americans rather than to resident French
people. 1t is not so with the Italian book.
sellers. In the Italian quarter booksell
ing is sometimes joined to banking, and
it is usual for the Italian newspapers
to maintain circulating libraries. The
books in these libraries are mostly paper
bound. Many of them are novels by
Italian authors or translations from the
French novelists. "The Arabian Nights,
bound in paper and cheapIy illustrated
is sold in the Italian bookstores. Well
bound second hand books, imported from
Europe, are sold in the Hebrew bookstores
of the east side. Here, too, are main.
tanned circulating libraries, mostly OF
books printed in the curious half German
lingo common among central European
Hebrews. In these Libraries, as in most
others, fiction is chiefly in demand. The
classics of any tongue are not readily sold
or lent, and the more cheaply sentimental
book the wider its popularity. Oddly
enough it is wives and mothers rather
than young girls that buy of the second
hand dealers. The capacity of New York

Dsnnit.on of the WORD "Genslsm.n. :,

Definition of the Word "Gentleman.' %
The latest authority, the Century
Dictionary" has among seven different
meanings of the word gentleman the
following pertinent definition:
"A man of good breeding courtesy,
and kindness; hence, a man distin-
guished for fine sense of honor, strict re-
gard for his obligations, and considera-
ton for the rights and feelings of others.
The publications of the Early English
Text Society" show on page 90 of the
"Babees Book" these lines:
-Bare the 30 thow haue no blame;
Than men wylle say thereafter
That gentylleman was heere."
Which in modern dress would read:
Bear thee SO thou have no blame.
Then men viii say thereafter
That a gentleman was here.
Barrow in his works, volume 3, chapter
21, says:
For what, pray Is q gentlemanf
What properties has he, what qualities
are characteristical or peculiar TO him
whereby he is distinguished from others
and raised above the vulgar p Are they
not especially two, courage and courtesy1"
Steele, in No. 207 of the "TSttJer:"
@The appelIation of gentlen,dm is never
to be affixed to mans circumstances,
but to his behavior in them.
Emerson, in his Essay of Manners:
~The gentleman is a man Of truth
lord of his own action, and expressing
that lordship in his behavior.
Finally, the well knewn bon mot has
It that i" A gentleman is never in the way
and never cut of the way"

But. Poor Fellow. He Got One of Them
IN . Tight Place.


The last car ON bridge train the other
day was JUST comfortably filed and mov-
ingfrom the Brooklyn side when noticed
a young man on the seat opposite. He
was good looking, well dressed chap,
but his hands were the main feature.
They were long and slender. like real
born lady's, and he must have spent q
great deal OF time on his finger nails.
was still looking at his hands and
thinking how many women had envied
him their possession. when he gave his
spring overcoat, which he was carrying
on his arm, a fiirt to bring IL partly across
the legs of the man ON his right. and at the
same time one Of those pretty hands was
lost sight off, His neighbor was big,
sturdy citizen of middle age, who had on
eyeglasses and was reading paper, and
appeared oblivious of what was going ON.

hands pickpocket2 He held an envel-

less TO save his own watch or wallet?
wondered that the big man held his paper
50 stifiiy, and kept his eyes so long on one
spot, and half felt he ought to pay the
penalty of his careiessness.
We had just passed the piers ON the
New York side when the big man dropped
his left hand, quietly seized upon some
thing, and knew by the way he shut his
teeth and flushed up that he was using
all the muscles Of ais hand and arm to
grip something. Then Iheard cracking,
crunching sound, and / looked into the
young mans face to find it as white as

repress q scream Of pain. He was lying
back in q half faint when the train
stopped, and the big man turned his head
and gave him one brief glance and passed

pretty handed man.
