The GREAT BUSTARD.
1t Has Been Extinct in England for Moro
Than Fifty Years.

The great bustard formerly haunt
ed all the level counties of England.
and was particularly common on Sails
bury plain. From the reign of Henry
VII. repeated measures were passed
in order to protect it; and it is express
ly included under the head of game in
the statute of the first year of the
reign of William ", which codified and
reformed the laws relating togame. The
close season for bustard shooting was
and is from the first of March tothefrst
of September. But the native bustard Is
now extinct in England. The last was
killed at Swaffham in Norfolk, in 1888
Any that have been shot since have
been merely casual visitors, probably
coming from the plains of Saxony. The
causes of the disappearance of the bus
tard are, firstly, the sport they af-
forded, for they were hunted with
greyhounds as we'll as shot; secondly,
the increase in the amount of cultivated
land. This largest of European birds,
weighing as much as 80 pounds, could
no longer find any sufficient support
on the closely cropped plains of Eng
land.

A SUNSTRUCk TREE.
The Singular Cause of the Death of Q
Sugar Mamie

In the astnumber of Meehan's Month
ly the editor tells of being summoned to
hold an inquest over a dead sugar maple
tree. 1t was supposed TO have been de-
stroyed by leak in the city gas main
near its roots, but an examination con-
WINGED Mr.. Meehan that the tree had died
literally from sunstroke
This maple had been planted on the
street about rs years, and was some
four feet in girth. The trunk, how
ever, instead of being cylindrical, was
shaped like triangular prism-a Pc
culiarity owing to the fact that on three
sides of it the inner bark and wood had
been killed. while the outer bark con-
tinued to cover up the injury so that the
only living wood was at the angles Of
the trunk. Practically no more than
one-third of the surface of the trunk
was alive, and when the exceedingly
warm weather of last month came the
limited number Of ducts were not SUI
ficient to supply the moisture needed
to meet the rapid Transportation from
so large a surface of foliage; conse-
gently the leaves wilted and the tree
died.
Whenever the trunk of a tree takes on
this angular form it should be ex-
amined under the bark, and if the fiat
ter portions are found dead the bark
and the decaying part of the wood
should be wholly cut away and the
denuded part painted to check the rot
ting. In time healthy wood may grow
over such n scar, and the life of the
tree may thus be eventually saved

SMALL PROFIT IN CIGARS.
Dealers Complain That They Make Very
Little Money.

There is not large percentage of
profit in cigars" said ID. B. Talbert, of
Baltimore, q cigar salesman, at the
Metropolitan, to a Washington Star re-
porter. And there is probably no line
of goods in which customers swindle
the dealers with so little conjunction
of conscience. There are so cigars in
a box of ordinary goods. but the dealer
seldom gets paid for so, even though
he credits none and gives none away.
"A man buys a cigar, taking it out of
the box with his thumb and forefinger,
at the same time closing his other fin
gers over another which rests in the
palm Of his hands. He gives the dealer
a dime and almost invariably receives a
nickel In change. Or he may buy quar-
ter's worth and gets one too many in
the same way. This has caused some
dealers to ask how many are wanted
and 10 give out just what are called
for, but it is doubtful if this is wise as
a customer likes to help himself, and
goes where he can do So"

AN UNCOMFORTABLE MAN.
Hundreds Witness His Writings and
Show No PITY,

Show No Pity.
On a narrow platform, close 10 the
glass roof of Hammerstein's Olympia
roof garden, may nightly be seen, says
the New York Herald, one Of the most UNI
comfortable men in New York He is
the man who operates the calcium
lights which play upon the stage. He
has barely room to stand up, so he
kneels most of the time and stares at the
stage before him.
Below are persons trying to look so
cool and comfortable that the sight of
them must be perpetual aggravation
They sit and laugh and talk, and take
no notice of the uncomfortable fellow
perched high aloft and yet in full view
He is there for four hours every night,
He shifts about and occasionally stands
up in his endeavor to get the kinks out
of his legs. He sits, llneels and some
times leans back against the big iron
eirder behind him. He sees the show
over and over again. He listens TO the
endless splash of the water on the crys-
tai roof and sees the same little come
dies nightly enacted around the round
tables beneath.
Sometimes a sign of human interest
is shown in a bending forward as some
woman with more towering hat than
usual, or boy with more Respondent
hat band than common parades through
the garden.

CURIOUS MENTAL FEAR.
Wheelman Afraid His Steed Would Shy
at Steam Roller.

"a man who has ridden horseback
for many years." said q physician,
doesn't quickly lose his feeling of I'M
certainty as to what his steed is going
to do in an emergency after he has
taken to riding bicycle. had curl
GUS illustration of this. l was riding
my wheel up the boulevard when l met
big steam roller at Ninety-second
street. Horses that will rub noses
against a moving train will shy at a
steam roller for come unknown reason.
Horsemen recognize steam rollers as
things to be avoided at any cost. Now
have been riding q wheel for year,
but as soon as l saw that roller COM
ing down the boulevard | instinCtively
turned my wheel into a side street to
avoid it. For the moment | felt that /
was in danger of being thrown. Then
l realized the advantage that a wheel
man has over a horseback rider when
1t comes to steam rollers, and | turned
around and rode past this particular
roller with great satisfaction"

THE DERVlSkES,
They Fight to the Death In the Face of
Great Odds.

Great oQuss
The deryishes have lost nothing of
their old valor. They heed death as
little as ever. I saw them, says a writer
in the London Times, stand undismayed
in the open and fight with logged de-
termination in the face of our deadly
volley fire; they fought on with rifle
and spear and knife when charged by
the cavalry; each wounded dervish, as
he lay bleeding to death on the ground,
was q dangerous and treacherous foe
until he had breathcd his last. They
even did what some authorities have
denied that any troops, however brave,
would ever do-they stood in groups
firing steadily into our ranks while our
Maxim guns poured their streams of
bullets on them, moving them down
like grass.
doubt whether any other men in the
world would have stood, as these men
stood, for nearly two hours, against
such fearful odds as were opposed to
them. But, il one may judge from this
fight, the dervishes have changed their
old tactics; they have, to a great extent,
abandoned the reckless rush of spear
men which used to distinguish Soudan-
csc warfare, and rely more on rifle fire,
in which their practice has considerably
improved If trained and disciplined
(but it is very doubtful whether that
savage beast of prey, the Baggara, ever
could be trained) these men would make
magnificent infantry. They display now
as much amazing GOODNESS when acting
on the defensive as they did in their
furious charges of former campaigns.

DECISIVE WoRLD-WAR TO COME.
One More Great Struggle of Physical
Force Before the Era of Peace

One More Great Struggle of Physical
Force Before the Era of Peace.
Many have been tempted to say, in
view of the vain rumors of wars of the
last few months which have affected
four continents, that we have seen the
last great war. 1t might be so if all
nations were on the same level of civil
iZation, writes George B. Adams in
Atlantic Monthly. But with the great
races of the world, those which will
neyitably be the leading actors in the
coming drama, still in such different
stages of advancement, who will dare to
predict that we have yet entered upon a
millennium of perpetual peace? The
odds are altogether in favor of one more
great struggle Of physical force, COM
pared withwhich, very likely, the great
est struggles of the past will seem but
chlld's play, before we enter upon the
era of the peaceful competition of ideas
and institutions and radical types which
viii introduce the real millennium
when it comes. If such a conflict OF
force should come there is only one
place for us. We must be on the side Of
OR own ideas and institutions and race.
and we cannot afford in the meantime
TO be training ourselves to consider our
natural allies our natural enemies, or
to weaken the sum of our resources by
any civil strife that can be honGrably
avoided.

Two Merits of the Competitive Educa-

Ex-Secretary John W. Foster, who
was the confidential adviser of the en-
peror of China in the peace negotiations
with Japan, contributes 4 paper on
The Viceroy Ii Hung Chang" to the
August Century. Mr.. Foster says of
the yiceroy:
He does not regard the competitive
educational system of admission to the
public service as q perfect method, apd
more than once he has recommended to
his emperor material notifications in
the existing system. But it must be
confessed that it has stood the test of
centuries with much benefit to China,
and its practical operation has demon
strated that it possesses two merits of
inestimable value to any nation; first,
II brings all the Offices of the empire
within the reach of the lowest subject;
and secondly, it dilninishes the lncen-
tives to, and opportunities of, corrup-
ton and favoritism in securing en-
trance into official life. But in China
the competitive examination ends with
the admission; beyond that step promo
ton must come through other methods.
Ii Hung Chang secured the right of adj
mission to office through his assiduouS
application to study, and every sue
ceeding step in his upward career has
been attained by his own genius and
capacity"
