r STRATEGY.

some Instances of a Deliberate Plan to
Deceive.
The conduct of various birds, during
the breeding season, is SO different
from what it is at other times, that to
my mind it is often very hard TO say
for certain where distress ends and
strategy begins, or to which of the TWO
the behavior of the bird should be at
tributed. Birds disturbed off their g
or their newly Matched young otten
hutter about as though they were haf
p~aralyzed. 1 cannot believe that this is
always for the purpose of drawing the
unwelcome intruder away from the
precious nest. Birds that have been
sitting for a long time are invariably
inactive when disturbed, and this
should be taken into account in con-
sidering the question of whether there
is strategy or not. On the other hand,
one finds at times both male and fe-
male behaving in a way that suggests
something like a regular scheme on
the part of the parent birds Tor res
cuing their young from real or mag
mary danger. l came upon a coVey OF
very young partridges accompanied by
their parents on the dusty highroad,
one July evening, when going with
my rod to the river side. The cock
bird. l had just time to observe, hur-
ried the young through a gateway into
a field. while the hen instantly started
running along the road a dozen yards
or so ahead of me. Once or twice she
stopped, apparently to allow me to
come up fairly close to her, and then
ran on again. This continued till we
were about a hundred yards from the
spot where the covey ran into the
field, when the hen bird also ran
through a gap in the hedge. l got up
lust in time to see her rise from the
ground and fly straight back to the
spot where her family were no doubt
lurking. If that was not strategy, 1t
was c~uriously like it. On the test one
day l disturbed a family party of wild
ducks in a little reed-sheltered creek.
The female bird, within reach of my
t~en-foot f1y-rod, tapped helplessly
about the water as though grievously
wounded. The male few across the
stream, where he was Joined by the
young; and not until all the latter were
safe across the water did the mother
rise on strong wing to follow the rest
of the family. In both these cases the
conduct of the parent birds surely i'm
piled strategy of a high order.-George
"A. H. DeWar.

pasts provided are as good as they
are dear. But this matters little, as
the finances of an official foreigner
who goes into exile are always well
looked after by a grateful country.
So on Derby day champagne is drunk
in Hongkong with a recklessness
which would bankrupt the same people
at home.
Merry as the sighseers are below,
in~toxication is never seen-only a

of almost every Asiatic nationality,

Tai Ho, though only 18 years old, is
the only one out of nearly 200, 900 900
Chinese women who ever went into
service as an American housemaid, and
her mistress, DR.. Sarah Wise, OF San
Francisco, is overjoyed to have found
her. Little Tai Ho knew her
parents. and does not know where she
was born. Up to the age Of 10 years
she was a little slavey maid in Can
ton, doing the best that a little girl OF
10 years could do, looking steadily for
ward to a life of hopeless slavery.
A wealthy Chinaman from California
went over to China and bought up a
cargo of pretty, intelligent girls. Be-
fore he got them across here a plan
was laid and successfully carried out
by the missionary people to rescue
them on their arrival. So Tai Ho grew
up in a mission school in San Fran
cisco and proved SO unusually progress
| sive that today she is thoroughly Am
| ericanized-and a magnificent look.

AS there is no rule without an ex-
ception, the hatred with which the
Chinese regard the foreign people and
all their works is withheld from horse
racing. The Chinese would have been
less than human had they not recog-
nized the attractions Of a sport, the
popularity of which has made it the
most cosmopolitan of all the worlds
~Tecreations.
Horse racing in China is, of course,
very limited, that held at Hongkong
being the best, writes a correspondent
from Hongkong.
The price for tickets to the Hong
kong race course, which also includes
admission to the lawn, is S.. In place
of stands for the spectators the au-
thorities provide large mat houses,
light buildings supported on bamboo
poles. There are eight of these build
angs, and as the sides and roof are all
made of rushes and decorated with
evergreens and bright-colored fabrics
the effect is very striking.
The mat houses are run by syndi-
Gates, and as racing in China is always
associated with much feasting, the re-

furiously-among themselves. The
foreigners, who are knowing, occupy
ing the mat houses, look on, smoke
tnteir cigars, quaff their wine and talk
to the ladies, but they don't bet.
The ponies, either from Japan, Au-
stralia or home-bred, are poor, weedy,
understood creatures, on whom no
self-respecting American who has
seer a glorious Kentucky thorough
bred thunder past at home, would
deign to waste a penny. But the Chi
nese, never having seen anything bet
ter, do not notice that the European
Jockeys are poor riders, besides being
much too big.
But even if they did they would bet,
for Johnny is a gambler to his finger
tips. Still, for all the betting, the
pig-tailed fraternity evince so little
excitement that one wonders why, as
they take so little interest in the rae
ing itself, they do not stay at home
and gamble. So they would if all the
races were European. But they are
not. For one race-the Chinese
Derby''-Chinese horses and jockeys
] only are allowed.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1900-11-01

When the bell announces that the
Derby is reached the CelestiaIs CULVER
with excitement. A curious race is
this Chinese Derby. The horses are
quaint, but the jockeys are extraor-
binary. Bunched up on their mounts
the "mafoo," as they are called,
scream, gesticulate, fog their steeds
and throw their arms about. The way
in which the native crowd babb1e and
scream till their distorted visages give
them the appearance of frenzied de-
mons, seems to SO tickle the foreign
element that they shout with laughter.
The race over, the native jockeys
are expected to walk round the course
in order that their c~ountrymen shall
have the delight of gazing at these
matchless horsemen. The airs the
jockeys give themselves during the
promenade never fails to prove an
noying to Anglo-Saxon sailors, OF
whom there are always many in the
crowd. They have been known in
their wrath to rush across the course
and pummel the poor wretches RICH
and left.

Caleta Buena, where she loaded nitrate
for Hamburg. At the latter port she
loaded general merchandise for Tchio.
and on discharging at that port loaded
ore for Glasgow, where she arrived in
June, 1900, and from which port she
has just sailed for Portland. Thus, in
stead of the French people receiving
any benefits in trade development
through substituting the vessel, they are
actually paying for tonnage used by
the English nitrate dealers, the Ger
man manufacturers and the Oregon
wheat growers, the profits on the oper-
alton going not to the French people
as a whole but to a few individual
ship owners.

day and was worsted. Dennis was
riding a wheel through a woods road
and the dog was running ahead. Sud-
denly it sprang into the underbrush
and emerged with a serpent in its
mouth. The dog was speedily dis
patching it when it gave a convulsive
twist and succeeded in coiling about
the dogs body. The dog endeavored
to shake off the snake. but was un-
able to do so, and Dennis, seeing that
his dog would be killed, tried to beat
off the reptile with a club. After a
desperate struggle the dog was crushed
to death, and, uncoiling itself from
about the dead body, the reptile made
for Dennis, who took refuge by riding
rapidly away.

Where Land Is Most Valuable.

The growth of the land values is
one of the most wonderful phenomena
of the age. Every inch Of land be-
tween King Williams statue and
Trinity square, london, cost $50 los,
or at the rate OF G191, 000, 900 per acre
beyond all doubt the highest price
ever paid in England for land. The
Southeastern Railway company has
asked at the rate of $65, OO0, 900 per
acre for a piece of ground in Ber-
mondsey, which had a depth of six
teen feet only. The demand was SO
exorbitant that even a railway COM
pany had to pause, finally declining
to purchase. In the year 1880 land in
square foot, and six years later the
Cannon street was sold for $50 a
price of land in this identical street
went up to $75 a square foot.-The
Forum.

The French bark Gen. Mellinet
sailed from Glasgow for Portland to
load for the united kingdom, making
a fleet of six French vessels that are
coming from Europe in ballast to load
wheat at this port, says the Portland
Oregonian. Seventeen thousand miles
is a long distance for a ship to sail
in ballast, but owing to the general
subsidy paid by the French govern
ment the vessels which have made the
trip have paid a profit on the outward
trip, and with high freights home
ward have been highly profitable to
the owners The benefits derived by
France by this bounty system are not
easily distinguished. The objects of the
subsidy or bounty are said to be the
promotion of trade between France and
the rest of the world. The signal fail
ure Of this object is amply illustrated
by a review of the Mellinet's work for
the past two years. She sailed from

Eject of Civilization.

The Portland O%regonian tells of a
,Chinaman, Lum Chung, who was m
ployed in a Portland canning factory.
He provided himself with a Winches-
ter rifle, and during his leisure hours
learned to shoot well. He has only
n eye, and so was not bothered
about shutting the other when he
took aim, a thing which often trou-
Ibles novices in craftsmanship. A few
years ago Lum Chung went home to
China and staid there some time.
while there he went n day with two
friends to sell a lot of hogs, for which
they received a considerable sum of
money. Eight robbers, who had Sc
cured information Of what business
they were in, followed them in a boat

Four hundred elk teeth were sold
in Spokane, Wash, the other day for
$1,000. The demands of the members
of the order of Elks and the growing
scarcity have increased the value OF
the teeth. Fourteen years ago a Mon
lana man paid only $50 for an Indian
headdress that contained 800 elk teeth.
Last year a similar headdress con-
tanning only $50 teeth sold fer 5000.
