A Rioe-Eatine Match.

A decided novelty in the way of q
sporting event, and one which attracted
q big gate" was Chinese relocating
match in San Francisco few days ago.
The match was arranged by Chinaman
named Marchy, who is a great sport
and as much Of an American as the law
Will allow him to be. Fifteen of his
pig-tailed countrymen competed for the
grand prize of two dollars. A huge
bowl of boiled rice was set on table
and attendants dished the rice out In
small bowls to the contestants. The
lean Mongolians stood around the table,
chop-sticlxs In hand, and when time was
called they pitched in with terrible
earnestness and painful solemnity. The
rattle of chop-sticks kept up at lively
pace for half an hour, but at the end OF
an hour III Jing You, who had tasted
for couple of days, was the only
slayer, and he was declared the winner.
The amount of rice consumed left q
painfully small margin of profit for
Marchy.

ARTISTS MODELS IN PARIS.

Their Arms and Threats Struggled Into
Portraits of Rich Women of Fashion.
A report of q contemp PLACID striIsa 81

interesting interview between one of
the ladies in the profession and repre-
sentative of a paper in the French CAPT
tai, says the New York Sun.

young woman, whom he describes as a
handsome blonde, with a fresh and rosy
complexion. you are all on strike, ehP
You are syndicating?"
With a smile and a shrug she replied:
Nonsense! that thing could never

"And whyP"
ut Is easy to understand. You see
there are two kinds of models, those
who follow the thing all their lives and
those who take it up en- PEASANT The
first are the models Of the academies,
who want to go on strike, and the sec
ond are the artists models, who laugh
at the proposal and treat it as u hum
bug. You will find the first at the
School of Fine Arts, with Julian, in the
ateliers of Bonnant, Jean-Paul Laurens
and Cormon. The women get four
francs a sitting and the men three, the
total earnings of day being eight and
six francs. At the end of the week
there Is also the cornet.
Every Saturday the monitor goes
round with cornet, or horn-shaped
paper box, and takes up q collection.
The students give from two to five
cents each, according to the degree of
satisfaction which they derive from the
models. That brings in about seventy
Ave cents, and sometimes one dollarJ
but this is rare, and, moreover, the
models do not get work every week.
They are often brought down to ex-
treme poverty, and often have to sing
in the streets and beg. The women,

Queer Freak of a Gobbler.

Mr.. James Grier, who lives about five
miles east of Dawson, has a turkey
gobbler that is a curiosity, says the
Columbus (O.) Enquirer-Sun. Mr..
Grier's turkeys consisted of two hens
and the gobbler The hens made nests
about seventy-fve yards apart in Mr..
Grier's melon patch, laid their nests full
of eggs and went to setting. The COB
bier got lonesome and concluded that
the proper thing for him TO do was to
set also. He got an equal distance be-
tween the two turkey hens, squatted
over q guinea watermelon and set six
weeks before he was discovered. Mr..
Grier thought his gobbler had been
stolen and was utterly astonished when
he found him in the patch trying to
hatch out young melons.

is temporary business. A fresh and
well-made girl commences to make her
living in some dressmaking establish

her constitution and redden her eyes
from eight in the morning to ten and
eleven az night, and all for what?
About seventy FIVE cents aday. Even that
would not be so bad II there was steady
work; but the dull times are frequent.
So she decides to pose. At the begin
ming It is hard, oh, very hard, but at last
we become recpnciled to it, because it
is fine thing for a poor girl to make
her four francs a day, Certainly the
model does not get work every day at
the beginning. She gets her customers
gradually. But when once established
She is all right. At one place she poses
for the entire figure, At another she
poses for some detail, especially among
the portrait painters
''The portrait painters?"
"Why, certainly. Do you fancy that
those fine and rich ladies would take the
trouble to sit for their portraits every
day for three weeks? That would tire
them pretty soon. Consequently three
fourths of the artists, when the prep
aration is finished, take the feet,
the hands, and sometimes the
arms and throat from us. After all, it
is not such bad trade, although there
are always dull times in the summer
months. The business has only one

Owing perhaps, TO the prevalence of the
influenza, travel is directing its way earlI-
er to the south this season than in years
before.
From its exceptionally delightful loca-
ton and accessibility, Old Point Comfort
has grown to be decidedly the most popu-
lar resort of the near south.
The facilities presented by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in connection with the
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk
railroad are unsurpassed, and the terri
tory of the eastern shore is replete with
interesting and attractive features.
Apart from the many historical associa-
lions in and about Old Point, the interest
that attaches to a government post, like
Fortress Monroe, living in that mysteri-
Gus, attractive atmosphere Of military
life makes it the most charming of places
for long or short winter retreat.
The Old Point express leaves Phlladel-
pha, Broad street, at 1898 A. NJ, daily,
except Sunday, carrying Pullman buffet
car The Norfolk express leaves Broad
street at ll.l6 P. M. daily, carrying Pull
man sleeping cars.

There was plenty of quail. For the
first day the dog did very well and be-

bagged dozens of birds and were jubi-

The next day, however, when we
started out rather late in the morning
the dog was of no account whatever.
We took Dick, the colored cook, along
with us 70 help carry the game, and we
couldn't get the dog away from his side.
We tried every way in the world to
urge him to begin operations, but he
refused to do anything except sit and
look pitifully at Dick. He followed him
wherever he went, and if he stopped
the dog would sit down and begin look
