IN AN UNKNOWN GRAVE.
The Last Resting Place of Col. Richard
Realf Cannot be Located.

Realf Cannot be Located.
English tourists visiting California
have been making inquiries concerning
the fate of Col. Richard Realf, of whom
they heard no word since 1878. Realfs
memory was cherished in literary cir
Giles in the East and England. but in
California his name is known but to Il
few, and in Oakland, where he died, he
has been utterly forgotten. Even the
bare record Of his suicide is not to be
found in the usual documents. His grave
is unmarked and unknown.
Richard Realf was born in uchfell.
near Lewes, Sussex, England, in 1881,
his home in Western Pennsylvania, and
for :: quarter of u century his poems
found favor in the East. In 1866 the
Atlantic Monthly published AN Old
Mans Idyl," by Realf, which Clarence
Strdman quotes in his work on American
literature: The poet enlisted OH the
Union side during the war. and served
went to California in 1878 on account Of
matrimonial trouble, and his wife fol
lowed him. On Monday, October y, Of
that year. he registered ut the Windsor
hotel in Oakland. He put in no appear

Chauncey'S Good Health.

Prof. Edwin Checkley says in Dem
orest's Magazine: The newspapers have
recently contained some talk, the pur-
port of which was that Chauncey NJ.
Depew, Senator Evarts and other prom
inent men kept maryelously good health
without taking any more exercise than
they could help. Mr.. Depew and Sen
ator Evarts may have kept very good
health, but they have not done so be-
cause they have taken no exercise.
They have kept well in spite of the
fact, and observers should keep this in
mind. But. Notwithstanding this asser-
ton, both Mr.. Depew and Mr.. Evarts
are very active men. Their activity may
not take the form of hard riding or walk
ing. but they are nevertheless active.
The psychologists tell us that the reason
a cat keeps slender in spite of her gen
eral outward inactivity is that her mus
cular system is, in fact. constantly act
i've. If she does not make many violent
movements, she is almost constantly on
the alert. The nervous activity of some
people wastes without building up; with
others the quiet activity produces much
the same effect as outward activity. The
actual explanation of good health with
little apparent activity is probably Il
union of highly perfect organs and for
tunatc habit of carrying and using the
body. This habit, natural to some. but
to very few, must be acquired by the
majority like any other element of edu-
cation. Peculiar gifts should not mis-
lead the majority into carelessness.

F'ish-Catching Offers.

In many countries the fsh-catching
powers of the otter are taken advantage
of, and this falcon of the water is trained
to perform in the sea or river tasks sim
liar to those fulfilled by the falcon in the
air. Bishop Heber mentions having seen
lying on the bank of Il river in China a
number of tame offers, tethered by long
ropes attached to collars woven of straw.
The animal is captured when very young
and fed entirely upon bread and milk,
not being allowed a morsel of fish. An
artificial fish is then tied to string
and the otter taught to retrieve it. A
real fish is next substituted, and the OF
ter is punished if he manglcs it, and re-
warded if he brings it to his master I'M
injured.
The Chinese also train the cormorant
as a fish catcher. A ring is slipped over
the neck of each bird, just loose enough
to let it breathe freely, but tight enough
to prevent its swallowing. When the
bird has given up its victim, its master
raises the ring and rewards it with Il
morscl Of fish.-New York Press.

readily explained. The four trumps lying
just over those held by the Duke of Cum

trumps. He led trump, which was
taken on his left. and diamond led
trumped on his right Another trump
was led through him which was similarly
taken, and another diamond led which
was also trunll,ed on his right. Another
trump led through the duke caused his last
trump but one to fall: the last was then
extracted by the player on his left. The
duke now had no diamonds. that being the
suit Of which he had held only the ace
and king. Then the diamonds on his left
were as good as trumps, and made all
the remaining tricks. The duke is said
to have lost wager of 100000 in con-

Irish Grey is his favorite. For several
weeks Il hawk has been living in the
neighborhood and the bird of prey has

for the hawk for several days, but had
been unable to get shot ut the maraudcr.
Yesterday the idea occurred to Coleman
to try the valOr of one of his Irish Crews
against the hawk. TO give the chicken
a fair chance. he took the biggest Oh the
farm, one that had won many Il battle,
long, on his heels. The chicken was
turned loose in the barnyard alone, and his
lusty growing and his struttng walk
proclaimed him ready to meet all Corners,
The rooster had everything his own
way till about o'clock, when Coleman,
who was waite ching from the barn, saw
the chicken look ut the clouds above He

that and had closed the hole through
which the chickens were accustomed to
enter. Finding retreat cut off the
rooster turned and stood ready to defend
himself. In another minute the hawk
swooped into sight and quicker than
thought was upon the rooster. But tho
sprishtly Irish Grey was too quick for
him and turned aside barely i'm time to
escape the huge talons of the hawk.
Then one of the prettiest battles ever
seen began. The hawk was at il disad-
vantage on the ground, it's wings striking
every time it attempted to fly. The
rooster, on the other hand, seemed to
gain courage from mis- position and in an
instant had planted one of his gaffs into
the hawks side. The hawks wing was
not disabled, but the rooster had evil

after fully five minutes effort to dispatch
his antagonist, sat back OH his tail

attack him. He had not long to wait,
for the Irish Grey was fully reused by
that time, and flying clear off the ground
rose to a point even with the hawks
breast and planted both heels at once
into the big birds neck. This was fol-
lowed by another similar move, which
sent both gaffs through the hawks body,
one of them piercing the heart and kill

An eXaminatiO of the rooster after the
fight showed that he had hardly received
