then, handing the feathered treasure
to his wife, ran back to the house and
got the child just in time to save its

time in the islands will tell you that
the native prefers the game cock to
any property you can present him.
Sometimes fellow will own half a
dozen of these vicious birds, the price
of which is often as much as 500 or
5000 each, but the owner will seldom

the artists of the country draw them
on the buildings, and there are charcoal
sketches of prize winners on exhibition

audience views the two and makes its

on, each being two inches long, and
the sign of attack is given. The fight
is generally short, lasting from two to
five minutes. If a cock runs away he
is condemned to a horrible death. He
is hung up in disgrace, and all the

Young Men and the Smoking Habit

The vice of smoking Gf it be vice.
is thought to be rather decreasing in
Russia. Certainly there is very gen
eral impression that the number of
non smokers now met with is consider
ably greater than it was a few years
ago. when smoking was practically uni
versal among the so-called upper
classes. DIR. Mendelssohn publishes a
number of observations which he made
few years ago upon the effect Of
smoking upon the health of students,
and the statistics he gives are not with
out interest. In 1880 a circular form
was sent to every student in the Army
Medical Academy in ST. Petersburg
and in the archaeological Institute con-
tanning a large number of questions
which the students were asked to an
swer, and 1,071 replies We're received.
Among the medical students "a 66 were
found to be habitual smokers, and
among the chronological students only

years, and so on, the maximum being
reached at the age of II years.
The average number of cigarettes
smoked daily by a medical student was
1864, and by chronological student
22.SS (Russian cigarettes are more than
half paper mouthpiece, and therefore
much smaller than English cigarettes).
But the most interesting figures are
those which deal with the effect Of
smoking on the health. OF the smok-
ers 16.09 per cent. were found to have
some affection of the respiratory tract,

to diseases of the alimentary tract the

A FOX HUNT SPOILED.
Old Josh Parkens Knocked Rey-
nard Over With His Gun.

When the swell riding club from the
city went away up into Galoon IoWh-
ship to ride to hounds, and incidentally
follow the course of the fox, it arranged
with old Josh Parkens to provide the
fox
He was offered liberal pay for attend
ing to this preliminary, but he declared
that he was something of fox chaser
himself, and would call it square II
they'd let him "jine" in the sport.
There was no good reason to offer
for barring him, and the committee
satisfied it's conscience by telling him
to be on hand half an hour later than
the time really fixed for making the
cross country dash.
Sure enough, the hounds were giving
tongue. and the ladies and gentlemen
in their gay attire were just beginning
to form a procession which grows from
the bunch in which they start when old
Josh burst with a whoop from thick
ct on the side.
He was on rawboned mount that
had a wonderful gift of shutting over
the ground, and he carried a six-foot
rifle of the olden times. He went after
the fox at an angle that compelled it
to cover about two rods to his one, and
before the riders could prevent he had
ended the sport by putting an ounce of
lead through the game.
There We're some vigorous protests
against this mode of fox hunting, which
put a stop to the fun just as it COM
menced, but Josh only said:
What was them city swells huntin' q
fox fur if it warn't to git i'm. / knock
ed him over cold afore all them women
folks, an the other fellers was jealous.
Every one of 'em had gone huntin'
without his gun. / never see nuthin'
