FROM SCALE TO FEASHeR.
Tho Mysterious On Chung Bird, OF the
FableA orient.

Fabied orient.
At the festive season OF the Mon
gol no Oriental deicacy can be
deemed too rare for the prolonged
feasts not even half-sacred ON
chung, the bird. that springs from q
worm and becomes beautiful and dies
in year A lot of these feathered
beauties were brought from China by
the steamer Gaelic this year, says
the San Francisco Examiner. Several
crates OF Chinese make, containing
1920 Of these birds, were landed on
the dock and Immediately removed
to q restaurant on Jackson street
and Bartlett alley, in the Chinese
quarter.
The arrival caused no little ex-
element among the Cinnamon, for it
Is seldom so many of the priced birds
are seen in this country.
The birds were fed and well
cared for until the New Year holt
days opened, and then they were sold
at fancy prices for banquets and
epicurean feasts.
They are apparently a variety Of
the quail species, though very small
in comparison to the California quail.
In size they are even smaller than
snipe, and come nearest the robin.
Their feathers are smooth and daint.
lily marked light seal brown with
specslles of white and black and here
and there u streak of white on a
shadow deeper than the prevailing
brown.
They are dapper little fellows,
nervous to excess and full of life. so
much SO, indeed, that sportsmen
would call them gamey birds. Not
for second will they keep quiet in
the crates, but are always moving
and chirruping, picking and hutter-
ing. About their origin the Chinese
have woven pretty legend, which in
time has been accepted as the truth.
A year or two ago the fish commits
sioners imported 1000 dozen and
turned them loose in different parts
of California, but not a bird lived, a
fact taken by the Chinese as positive
proof that the legend is correct.
Him never breed" declared
Chinaman yesterday, in his desire to
tell the wonderful story of ON Chung.
"Him never breed. No bird like
him. Never came from the egg, but
from a fish, and he die in ten
months.
With the Chinese evolution is part
of religion, so there can be nothing
strange in supposing that a bird was
evolved from worm-via a flying
fish.
AS the story goes ON Chung, Or
Chinese quail, are never seen from
September to July or August of the
following year. Meanwhile he is
dead, his tribe is extinct
When summer comes there is fish
that inhabits Oriental lagoons and
rivers with an irresistible desire to
fly onto the land. Once on shore in
the marshes he becomes a bird, and
finally blossoms out as myriads of
pretty quail
In this stage he is caught in miles
of netting set for him as traps, and a
month later he is gone.
Him live about seven months,
never longer'n ten" added the talka-
tive Chinese, willing to parade his
English. If ! could afford it | would
go to China and catch him when half
fish and half bird and bring him here

A romantic affair has happened in
the Turkish army. \ short time ago
the discovery was made, quite acciden-
tally in Pristina, that a young girl
named Hanko had been serving for
three and half years under her broth
cr'G name, Ali Redscheb, in the Fiji
teenth Regiment there, and had dis
tinguished herself by specially good
conduct. The Sultan was informed of
the unheard-of case of a woman nous
ing with men for years unveiled.
When he learned that the young girl
had taken this daring step in order to
free her brother, who was the only
support of his mother, from military
service. he bestowed the Chefakat Or
der of the Third Class on her, and has
given her life pension of five Turk
ish pounds a month. She was, of
course, sent home at once, and her
brother remained free from serving.

HOT SPRINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA.

Them--Hot Springs, 5. d., star.
The Hon. Samuel w. AllertCn, the
noted capitalist of Chicago, arrived
over the Burlington Route few DAYS
since and during an interview with a
Star reporter said: You people do not
begin to realize what you have here in
these waters. | have had the oppCr-
tunity of treyellng some over the
United States and have vlsited a great
number of health its resorts with Springs
which are claimed to have medicinal
properties, but in my opinion, you have
water here that is superior to anything
in this whole country, if not in the
world, for the cure of rheumatic affiic-
tons and diseases of the skin. My at
tention was first called to these springs
by an intimate friend, Mr.. Spencer,
who owns a large cattle ranch west of
here. lie had man on his ranch that
was so badly afflicted with rheumatism
that he was hauled here in helpless
condition. He was bathed in the old
Indian bath for several weeks, and
he went home entirely cured up, and

she was able to come at all and ! have
found that all Mr.. Spencer SAID in ref
erence to the curative properties of
the waters has been realized in my
wife's case. She said she feels as
though she had just been turned loose
from prison where she had been
called upon to endure eXcruciating tor
ture-every joint and muscle racked
with pain so that life was burden.
No, think Hot Springs future is
grand one. It's air is pure and whole
some, It's scenery lively and inspiring;
sleep comes without any effort, and it
is just the place for rest and building
up shattered constitution. You do
not talk enough about the value of
your waters fer skin troubles. /, my
self, received great benefit from them
last year in short visit there. Your
climate makes you infinitely superior
to the Arkansas Hot Springs, and in a
country where so many thousand are
afflicted with rheumatism and other
kindred ailments, If your advantages
are made known, there is no question
but that you will become the foremost
health resort in the United States. We
are delighted with our trip here and
what your waters have done for us,
and will make frequent visits to your
pleasant little city"

MR.. JOHN BULL AT NEWTON.
what He Thinks About the Little Chap

who Wanted to shovel Snow.
Two days after the first big snow
storm of last winter an Englishman,
who recently took up his residence at
Newton, near Boston, came with q
tale of wonder into the Office of .
Boston friend, says the Youths Com
panion. Yesterday, he said, "when
went outdoors about 6:i5 to catch
the early train into town there was =
bright-eyed little chap standing on
my lawn with a snow-shovel. lie said
he wanted contract for shoveling
my paths clear of snow all winter. |
thought he was too small, but wanted
to help him and told him to 60 ahead
and get his pay from my wife. Well,
sir, when | came back at night my
wife told me that that boy was the
son of an opposite neighbour man
worth stacks of money"
"What Of that?n said the Bostonian.
Hang it all, man. his fathers RICH"
said the Englishman.
but the boy wanted to make some
money for himself"
We'll, you Yankees beat me.
Wealthy people letting their boys do
such things! Why, in England"
"Oh, but this isn't Englandn'
/ "But think of the poor wretches
that need such work." SAID the Eng
lishman.
Have you seen any in Newton?n
Cant say | have. But there must
be lots of poor people down on the
fiat. "
You may be sure that every boy
in the place was shoveling snow be-
fore school yesterday. It's job
that's got to be done right off,
"But letting that little fellow
humiliate himself so. Hiring him
self out don't you know It's awful"
Come, now, isn't that just your
English notion?"
The Englishman considered this
for fully a minute.
"By George, it's fine." he then ex-
claimed. Shows got to be shoveled
of quick, don't you know. Why
shouldn't the boy do ito That's the
point. Such an example, too. That's
democracy-now | see it clearly.

''Not bit OF it! There are thou

got them all to compete against.

A battle followed, the flag was Shot
away and fell into the sea. Lieut..
James Bayard Stafford jumped over
board, recovered it, and nailed 1t to
the mast, In appreciation of his gal
liant conduct Congress presented him
with the flag, and it has remained in
his family ever since. When the flag
was hoisted, the first pull of the hal

member of this same family.

Mrs. Adlai Stevenson was to have
raised this flag. but in her enforced
absence Mrs. Schuyler Hamilton, Hon

Revolution, willingly performed the
duty. This selection of the represe MT

Amusements in the House of Commons.
Games" of every kind are either
rigidly or passively forbidden in the
House of Commons. The place is regu-
lated by most ascetlc code of ethics.
The theory of the Legislature is legis-
lation. Everyone who enters Parlia-
ment is supposed to have only one OBJ
iect at heart-work. So amusement
has never entered into the schedule of
the NJ. p.'s life. An attempt was made
some time ago to have billiard table
set up in one of the spare rooms at the
House, but the proposer was disdain-
fully crushed by the Speaker. Card
playing, even in the form of game of
innocent three-penny whist, is forbid
