Game Cock Worth sao,ooo.

Several hundred South Carolina raised game cocks are exported an nually to Mexico, where cock fighting is the sport of the nation. These ex- ported birds are not collected indis- criminately in the state, but are ob- tained from one man in Clay Hill, York county, who has made the raising of fighting cocks a life study. That he has succeeded by various courses and carrying out a system in producing the best birds is shown by the de- mand from Mexico for all he raises. Fancy prices are paid for the breed. One bird he sold to Texan was en- tered in big matches in the Lone Star state. and after winning twenty-seven battles was bought by Mexican for $10,000. He has been notified that his cock won battle in the City of Mexi- co in which the stake was $1O,000.

SARCEY,S DOUBLE.
Has a Great Many Troubles On Account
 of the Resemblance.

oI the AesemDlance.
 A leather merchant named NJ Bonier, who is in business near the Place de la Republique, is the hero, or the vic. tim. as one likes, of most remarkable resemblance to the eminent late dra- matie critic, M. Francisque Sarcey, says the London Post. M Bonier has just been relating his woes to a sym- rathizing journalist. He cannot, he says, pass along the street without ob- sefKIng clean-shaven individuals start and turn pale when their eyes light on him. But worse things befall M Bon fer. In the Rue de Douai few days ago well-dressed young woman faint ed on pereeiving him. When she re- covered she repeated in terror-stricken accents, ''It is he. It is he!" and the crowd, mistaking the reason of her fright, imparted to M. Bonier the in- formation that he was an old rascal and ought to be ashamed of himself. Equally amusing was the leather mer- chants experience at the ambassadors concert, where M Sarcey's former foe, Yvette Guilbert, is now appearing. The singer, noticing M Bonier, recited some verses on the subject of M. Sar- cey, and by her gestures drew the at- tention of the audience to his double. The public were delighted, of course, but not so M. Bonier, who got up and left the concert. NJ. Bonier much re- grets his resemblance to the late critic, the results of which he declares to be most annoying to peacable trades man. He says that one day he was asked in the street for letter Of in- treduetion to M Jules Claretie, which so veyed him that he almost came to blows with the applicant

Cooking in Sweden.

4 lady who has just returned to thls country from the Land Of the Midnight Sun said to a Philadelphia Press re- porter After we had seen our fill Of rocky headlands and enchanted lakes and fjords, we went to a seaside re- sort, where we had rooms overlooking the water, and went to a rnatsal, or 'meatroom,' for our meals, as every one does in Lysekil. We had special table and were waited upon with the neverfailing amiability by a special waitress, and we paid for one party Of four $10.60 per week for cur meals. What did we get to eat? Not canned peas or skinned milk or tough chick en. For breakfast We had meat, eggs, tea, coffee, delicious fish and fancy breads. For dinner, soup, fish, meat the Swedish smofgasbord, which is a sort of side table where all sorts Of relishes are laid out. Rarebits, eggs, sandwiches, raw or pickled herrings. with chopped onions, sliced sausages, caviare, anchovies, cheese, sardines. pickles and salted and savory meats are served in endless variety, and, though tourists usually fight shy of the smorgasbord, we became perfect Swedes as far as it was concerned. We had such a good time in Lysekil and saved so much of our precious pelf that we were able at the end of our stay to take trip to Paris for few days shopping. dinner at the Am bassedeur's. and peep at the budding revolution. 7

Tradition SAYS that when Sable Island

eighty miles long and ten miles wide.
In 1902. when q rescue station was es-
tabllshed there II was only forty miles
long. Since then It has shrunk to but
little more than twenty miles In length.
and In width II Is only a mile at rs

undermined by the sea that II had TO
be abandoned with the greatest preclpi-
tation. The spot where once stood the
superintendent's house Is now under
two fathoms OF water.

making Up" With Children.

The secret OF getting along with
children is TO apply TO them the ordin-
AIRY rules OF social life. The parent who
romps with his children. and In few
minutes whips one OF them FOR not
addressing him as Sir" need not be
surprised II his children avoid his so
clety. One Of the commonest laws OF
social decenoy is 70 not quote Latin
10 n person who is known never TO
have studied the classics. Precisely the
same dlscourtesy is committed II we use
words Of many syllables In converslng
with children. but we commit a still
greater dscourtesy IN either case by
assuming with an air Of patronage that
the unclasslcal adult or the child has
no ideas In common with our superior
selves. The child OF FIVE and the man
or woman Of fifty are surprisingly alike
IN their interests. and they may con-
verse with mutual advantage upon an
endless variety Of subjects.

heard Il stated that for a woman ia

the poetry out OF her life This is sheer
nonsense. a woman with knowledge
OF business appreciates music painting
and the other finer things OF life Just as
much as the woman who Is ignorant OF
an business matters; and the former
has the decided advantage, In that she
is able TO turn her knowledge OF bust
ness into securing more opportunities
Of seeing and appreciating these fine
things. She can get more tickets 20

more money TO become the possessor OF

than a woman who Is compelled 10 wor-

years. and am Just as fond Of pictures
and music as any one OF my age. A
business training Is but one more ac-
complishment added 10 the list which
the young woman OF today is expected
10 acquire. and 1t is absurd to say that
its possession will interfere with the
proper enjoyment Of any Of the other
accomplishments. Then every house,

to see a boy with big ears" The boy
scarcely knew whether the Judge was
sarcastic or sincere, and he fumbled
his cap bashfully while his ears

Wofford continued sternly: Il am in
clined to give you chance, my boy,
on the strength of your big mouth and
generous ears. You've got a good face.
A man with little ears, like a fox's OF
