CORBETT AND JACKSON,

out engaging in fierce and bloody strife.
They have received wounds on many
well-fought roof before they emerged
from private life to give public axhi-
billions. Like the namesake OF one OF
them, both are given to somewhat
excessive use of language. But in eH-
tenuation it should be said that their
language is principally bad. consisting
of swearing and yowls. They do not in
dulge in rhetoric nor dialects. Neither OF
them pretends to be gentleman, or
anything else but a common lighting
cat.
Corbett is white and Jackson Is
black and white. They cost their train
err 25 cents apiece. and were brought IN
by boy from somewhere. At least 1t
is certain they were not rampered
| fashionable cats, who had lost courage
and sinew in a life of enervating lux
| ury.
| The writer witnessed fight between
Corbett and Jackson the other night,
says the New York Journal. Before
the event each sat on stool waiting
for the fray. When time was called
their trainer picked them up and placed
them in a ring, consisting of a square
board, having ropes and wooden stakes
around it and placed on a high bas-
ket.
Each wore heavy gloves. They stood
upright most of the time, but did not
exhibit much science. They proved
however, that they were game to the
last drop of their blood. The trainer
had repeatedly to interfere in order tc
prevent the fight from degeneratins IN
to a rough and tumble chewing ant
scratching contest. Corbett sevara
times fouled his opponent by biting ant
by attempting to scratch with his hint
feet In spite of their outrageous con
duct Professor Hampton allowed tn
fight to proceed. 1t was the in
tentiOn that 1t should be carried on t
knockout, and so 1t was. The figh
lasted four rounds and ended with tn
knocking out Of Peter Jackson. T
!. that result, however, Professor Hamp
ton largely contributed by helping Cor
bett to throw his opponent over tn
, ropes.

English Ideas at the Russian Court.

The young empress of Russia evil
IDENTIFY has the courage OF her opinions.
which are very strong ones on certain
subjects. 1t must have required no
small strength of mind, for instance,
for her to issue her recent command
about cigarette smoking as all Russian
ladies smoke as matter Of course; and
the dowager cZaritZa, the princess of
Wales sister (who is certainly anything
but masculine in her habits so far from
laying any such restrictions upon her
ladies-in- waiting, herself actually
smoked. Some unpleasant feeling eX-
lists in court circles at the command
of the young empress, but it is perfect
ly easy to understand her dislike to
this very unfeminine practice. She is
so thoroughly English in her tastes and
views that it naturally offends her to
have all her ladies' in waiting continu-
ally putting cigarettes BY degrees she
is certainly Anglicizing the Russian
court, and 1t is charming to find her
devoted young husband helps her in
every way to this end. He has an i'm
mense admiration for everything Eng
lish, and is delighted to hear his wife
speaking her mothers language

What About Leather:

The question is frequently asked:
What is vegetarian community to use
instead of leather? OF course, substi
tutes would have to be found. At pres
ent as hides are waste product, there
is no need to seek further; but when
they become scarce other substances
will certainly take their place. Other
things have already begun to compete
with leather. Formerly the doublet
and breeches and even bottles were
made of that substance. Now we use
cloth for bookbinding and other pur-
poses and may have artificial leather
boots. Demand always stimulates in
vention and production. 1t may, there
fore. be safely predicted that to make
ample provision for our clothing, even
under vegetarian regime, is task
not beyond the resources of civilization.
We may be sure If we have followed
nature thus far and trusted her for OUT
greater wants she will assuredly not
fail us in these lesser things.-West-
minister Review.

HORSES AND FLUTES.
How the Sybarites' Enemies Are Said to
Have Won Battle.

Born originally in Greece. it had its
renaissance in Italy. and Grisoni and
Flaschi must be acknowledged the
true fathers of the art, however ready
we may be to admit that the courts OF
Francis l. and Henry ~, by early
adoption of the offspring, adorned Its
development with the courtly grace,
luster and urbanity of French infiu-
ence, which made the menage the art OF
the princes, as another nation and age
made hawking the sport of kings, says
the Quarterly Review.
"They say" wrote Ben Johnson,
princes learn no art truly but the art
of horsemanship. The reason Is, the
brave beast is no flatterer. He Will
throw a prince as soon as mis- groom.
The Greek theory of education, as
we find it in Plato. was of a twofold
| kind: "One of gymnastics relating to
! the body, the other Of music for the
sake of good state Of the soul;' BRIEF
ly, as Mr. Pater expresses it, "a gym
nastic fused in music" This system
| of education the Greeks applied no
less to the training Of horses than OF
men. In the earliest extant treatise on
! riding, Xenophon pointed out that
craftsmanship, like dancing, was de-
pendent fundamentally on the play
impulse, that for anything to be done
we'll it must be done for pleasure
what the horse does under compul-
sion is done without understanding
and there is no beauty in it any more
than if one should whip and spur a
dancer" The horse must become an
artist, too, in his manner, and use his
limbs with rhythmical freedom.
So far was this carried out thai
Athenaeus relates how the Sybarites
taught even their horses to dance al

energetically seeking to render one an
other unconscious. The fighters are
Jim Corbett and Peter Jackson. These
are not their right names, but have
been conferred by Professor J. w.
Hampton, who has charge of the SPAR
ring exhibition which they give at
keith's Union Square Theater. 1t must
further be explained that the pugilists
are not men. but cats. Their contest is
not on that account any less fierce, seri-
GUS and exhilarating. On the contrary,
it is rather more so. The cats natural
method OF fighting, as most people are
probably aware, is to bite with his teeth
and to scratch with all four feet. He
uses his hind legs with great energy
when he gets his opponent down. This
natural method is very effective. and
would, no doubt, make public exhi-
bition very interesting, but such an en-
tertainment would hardly be allowed.
The cats have, therefore. been instruct
ed in the rules of boxing as laid down
by the Marquis of Queensbury. Cor
bett and Jackson are both heavily built
tom cats of strongly pugnacous in
stincts confirmed and developed by
several years of hard fighting withou,
gloves. From the time that they reached
adolescence it is probable that neither
of them ever passed an evening with

WHEN A MAN GOES OVERHEARD
It's Not Easy to Haul Him Back In
Rnurh Weather.

Capt. Manel Cation of the Adams fish
ing schooner Sea Fox, just in from
Georges fishing banks, tells thrilling
story of his adventures in the last gale
and snoWstorm, says the Boston Herald.
While the vessel was laboring in the
worst part of the gale he ordered the
crew to set the mainsail to work her
away from the dangerous shoals TO lee
ward.
when the crew had cast off the
stops." said the captain, Il reached for
the downhaul to clear it as they Aoisted.
The wind just at that moment caught
the canvas, and with Stat 1t came 10
leeward, striking me in the back,
and in an instant | was twenty
feet away and overheard. I struck
the water face down, but for
tunately | was to leeward, and as l
came up | saw the craft broadside on
drifting toward me. One OF my men,
named Merton, saw me disappear, ana
quick as a flash sent A coil OF rope
spinning after me. His aim was true,
and as | came up the rope lay against
my arms ana GRABBED ~.
Il was soon alongside. but in the
worst part of my scrape. The Fox was
rolling fearfully, while the cross seas
threw me around like ball-one mo-
ment I would bang against her side and
the next be far away. The reef-tackle
soon swung toward me and grabbed It,
but | didn't find my new hold any i'm
provement was thrown in all direc-
tons. but held on. l swallowed lots OF
water and the wrenching got was fast
using me up.
MY men would have mad hard WORK
lifting me up with my wet clothes hac

cited as they were, it was useless fol
them to try it there. l told them

After many unsuccessful attempts
they managed to get a boat over thu
rail but no one came in her. l knew

some one to come in her.
"They hauled the boat back as nea
as possible and, making a daring leap
two brothers, August and Manue
Louis, reached the dory which tn

There was still danger of capsiz
