or, rather, less scientific than the other, and the real estate gentle mans rooster was victorious after seven well-fought rounds-knocking his op- ponent off the table. The butler called time, for he was now timer in place of his master, and the victory was given to the real estate aristocrat.
 "Private cocking-mains," continued the officer, "are very popular, and be- coming quite frequent with some of the wealthy class There arc several aris- tocratic mansions in Chicago which at times are private palatial cockpits. The owners are not even suspected be- cause of their high social and financial standing. They, each in turn, give a main just as socials are held at the diff. fercnt houses of those of set By thi means this select coterie of lovers of cuclxing-mains have half-dozen or more during the season. Each host trains his own birds, and sometimes there are two or more mains of an even. ing. The butler and the coachman do the training, and frequently they are selected with a special view to their qualifications in this line. These scrv. ants train the birds in the stable, barn. loft, carriage-house, or yard, and often test the mettle of the birds, and con- tribute to their own amusement by having mains of their own, and perhaps betting their wages on the result"

A Buried Pond.

A remarkable freak of nature is found among the hills of Delaware county, N. Y., in Q sunken lake cover- ing about three acres of surface, which lies between two parallel ridges not far from the New York, Ontario & West ern railroad. The whole surface of the lake is covered with thick growth of moss whose stems extend to an un- known depth, but certainly further than the arm can reach. Each tuft of the moss is of different color from it's neighbor, so that the surface looks like that of a beautiful colored carpet. In walking over the velvety surface the foot sinks down few inches without encountering the water, which is at least two feet below the surface. Near the shore, in a few places, the water comes to the top. The buried pond is Q wonderful curiosity.

THE BRAVE FIREMAN.

IA true incident the lines being sug gested by the brave act of Fireman McAl haitian. of No l3 west bound accommodation, fin rescuing little child from death ncai Dimmock station, Pa With his hand upon the throttle as the train swept round the bend, The engineer stood ready the signal forth 10 send; His eye alert and watchful as he scanned the iron way That between him and the station in the gleam. ing sunlight lay. All alone he kept his virgil, save for one who, true and tried With spirit never failing, shared each danger by his side His fireman brave and dauntless, with his nerves like tempered steel But, with heart of gold within him. prompt to act and quick to feel Like O flash of summer lightning, onward dashed the fiery steed Never pausing for Q moment in It's rush or headlong speed, When suddenly the whistle sounded shrill up' on the air, And the engineer grew pallid with look Of wild despair; For there betore him standing, not hundred
  Was a tiny blue eyed baby, from its mothers arms astray- A fairy little figure, with its bright hair float. ing back, All unconscious of it's danger on the curving railway track' From the throttle.valve his fingers in nerve less tremor fell; But only for an instant-Quick as thought he rang the bell And reversed the flying engine, but alas, in vain, in vain! For, with terrible momentum, onward sped the rushing train "You stayl rH save the babyr all at once rang in his ear; And. almost before the meaning of his com rade's words was clear From his cab had leaped the fireman, Of the danger thinking naught Driven onward by an impulse that with gen erous love was fraught Like deer before its hunters, like an arrow through the sky, Sped he on his noble mission, the dread mon ster to outvie, While from every door and window Of the scarcely slackened train Anxious eyes his footsteps followed as ne strove the goal to gain. On he dashed, the score of watchers gazing with suspended breath At the contest so unequal in the very jaws Of death; Every voice 10 whispers sinking, direst fear in every face, Lest the brave man, speeding onward, should be conquered in the race. It could last but little longer, and a breathless silence fell When suddenly, like thunder, rose wild, tri' umphant yell, That, echoing and reechoing, seemed to pierce the very skies, For the fireman was tho victor, and the baby life his prizel An, the smiles and tears al,. P, alses suUw-r-u on him everywhere AS he placed the blue-eyed baby in Its moth CTS tender care; Then, to his post up-springing, as the train again moved on, Mid the sound of cheering voices, in moment he was gone.

Tangle-You know the last two inches of a cigar have to be thrown away, because you cant smoke them. We'll, I'm going to take out patent on a cigar that won't have any last two inches, because I'll make it just two inches shorter than usual. Simple, isn't it?-Munscy's Weekly.

Captured the Kaiser

The story is told that while the young German kaiser was watching a sham battle between Russian cavalry he asked the czar for permission to take charge of one side. It was granted, and the kaiser proposed to show the Rus sians what real soldier who was not a shopkeeper or tailor could do. While he was following rule S3 in his book on tactics the Russians surrounded his sup posed army and he was captured. It is said he went to his tent and would not come out for the rest of the day.

The Champion SomDambulist,

The record of somnambulistic feats has been broken by Henry Lynn, Liv- ermore farmer. Mir. Lynn arose in a somnambulistic trance at an early hour one morning and walked eighteen miles before he awoke. It was we'll along toward noon when the sleeper came to himself and found that he was plodding along the highway near Algona. Sev- eral neighbors met the man during his long tramp and exchanged greetings with him without arousing him.
