Cock Fighting.

Although Paris has taken so
kindly to cock fighting, and a
Partisan has called a native bird
that fed from its English oppo-
nent by the distinguished name of
the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, it is hardly to be expect
ed that cock fights will be equal in
interest to those in vogue south
of the Pyrenees.
In Spain you see the best con-
tests and the best fighting cocks
in Europe, for great care is taken
in the selection and training of the
birds. They are English, almost
without exception; and just as
some men are known for the ex-
cellence of their fighting bulls,
others are known to fame by their
fine game birds. When two well
trained fighting cocks meet, there
is never a question of running
away; they fight to death. / have
even seen the victor fall dead over
the dead body of his opponent
while attempting to express his
dearly-bought triumph in a crow.
Sunday mornings in Spain are
devoted to cock fighting, and to
the majority of the low dens in
which the sport takes place
women are not admitted. The re-
moval of the neck-feathers and of
nearly all but the primary feath-
ers of the wings gives the birds
strange appearance, made yet
more strange by the removal Of
the comb.
Beyond a doubt, cock fighting
is as cruel and revolving a pastime
as ever served for excuse to make
few bets, and its legalized in
PRODUCTION into Paris will give DR..
Max Nordau ample justification
for another diatribe.-Sketch.

CECIL RHODES.
Stories Which Illustrate the cherac-
ter Of the Cape Colossus.

Seen from afar-in foreign
countries-Mr. Cecil Rhodes APP
pears as the most important fl
CURE in the British Empire. He
is much widely known by repute
to Americans than the Premier.
Englishmen know him as the
giant who redeemed wilderness
and created an empire. Mr..
Rhodes is 46, and though his days
have been comparatively few, he
has accomplished stupendous
things. Gen. Gordon was a great
admirer of Mr.. Rhodes. Gordon
once told him of the offer of a
roomful of gold which had been
made to him by the Chinese Gov
eminent, after he had subdued the
Tai-Ping rebellion. "What did
you do?" asked Mr.. Rhodes. Re
fused it, of course" was the reply:
"What would you have done?" 81
would have taken it," said Mr..
Rhodes, "and as many more room
fuls as they would give me. 1t is
no use for us to have big ideas if
we have not got the money to car
ry them out" And therein lies
the keynote of Mr.. Rhodes's sue
cess. He is a man of large ideas,
and, what is more,
HAS THE GENIUS
for getting every penny he needs.
AS he himself said, in one of his
public speeches, "If you have an
idea, make it the paramount OBJ
ject in life. Probably it will sue
coed, and with its success many
things deemed valuable may
come" 1t is men with such be-
liefs who form the backbone of ma
IONS ard extend empires. Like
many men with half his genius,
Mr.. Rhodes is not without his lit
tie peculiarities. For instance, he
is by no means a ladies man." He
thinks that matrimony interferes
with business, and will not, it is
said, tolerate a married man in his
employ. Some time ago one of
his secretaries entered the matri-
n.onial state, and Mr.. Rhodes at
once gave him marching orders.
AS a solace, though for this eX-
IRENE step he sent his, departing
secretary

A CHEQUE FOR $4,000.

Another of his whims is to
bury himself away in a small hut,
or summer-hOuse, which he pos
sesses in a secluded corner of his
garden, leaving the splendours of
his mansion to his guests. This
hermit kind of existence he often
continues for day on end, more es-
pecially when he has some great
scheme on hand which requires
concentrated thought. At such
times he even sleeps and eats in
his hut. A further fad of his,
which he has largely outgrown, is
to be careless in the matter of
dress. In the old days at Kimber-
ley he occasionally used to have
dozen suits sent out to him from
England. They would be ON
show for several days at his
rooms. Then a friend would pro-
badly stroll in and admire a GER
tain suit, and end by receiving it
as a present. The like operation
would be repeated by other chums
until finally Mr.. Rhodes would be
felt as shabby and as badly in
need of new clothes as ever.
JUDGES BY APPEARANCE.
Mr.. Rhodes is, Notwithstanding
his stern exterior, a man of heart
He also possesses, like so many
other born leaders of men, the
great gift of being able to sum
up man in a couple of minutes.
A glance at an individual enables
him to decide the kind of person
he has to deal with. This is illus
trated in the case of Il friend who
wrote asking him to do some.
thing for youngster who was an
xiOus to seek his fortune at the
Cape. Thus did Rhodes reply:
"Send me his photograph, and I'll
let you know by return whether |
can do anything for him or not.Y
The Uncrowned King of the Cape
is now and again absent-minded.
A curious instance of his forget
fulness was seen some time back
lat an entertainment at Cape
Town. AS he entered the hall he
took of his overcoat, and in do
ing so removed his dress-coat as
well-but he was quite oblivious
of the fact. The mii.th of the PEG
pie near him and the cheers of the
gallery had no effect on him. 1t
was not until Il friend pointed out
what had happened that he dis
covered that he was in his shirt
sleeves.
