career of Gustave Onllaw, leader of the
Great Onllaw Trio.
Gustave had reached the tender age
of eight when he stealthily quilted
his fathers house in Vienna and at
tached himself to travelling Italian
circus. This step he bitterly regretted
for the next eight dreadful years,
while he travelled with the show
through Poland, Russia, the Caucasus
and Siberia. During all that period
he never knew what bed was. His
master gave him a sack and told him
if he wanted anything softer than the
ground to sleep on to go and steal
straw This he used to do regardless
of the cuffs and kicks he received
when caught

gave, and young Onllaw would per-

Malay Games.


The Malays are supposed to be Of
the parent stock of the Black Javas,
but have never been popular in this
country. They are bred for exhibition
only, not possessing qualities for prac-
teal purposes. They are Of medium
size, and in carriage are particularly
upright and powerful looking. the
back being almost always at an angle
of forty-five degrees. Their plumage
is very close and red or maroon and
black in color. The body tapers from
the broad shoulders to the tail, which
droops almost in a straight line with
the back. The thighs are long and
powerful. A striking feature of the
Malay is the head. 1t is long and
snaky, the brows over the eyes heavy
and projecting, giving the bird a cruel
and fierce expression; the neck is long
and scanty of hackle, the skin Of the
throat is bright red, and the scanti-
ness of the plumage causes the red to
show distinctly, and this is charac-

ear lobes are slight in development.
The shanks and toes are bright yell

and are used for crossing with other
breeds to infuse vigor and size. In
disposition they are reputed to be very
savage and in battle literally tear their
opponents to pieces.

A sportsman camping IN n Of the
lakes Of Sullivan county, N. T., offered
to bet $40 to 81 that nobody in his par
ty could guess how he had received an
injury to a finger which he held bleed
ing before the spectators. No n guess
ed, and the man went on to explain
that while standing by the lake he had
seer a bluejay flying over so close
above his head that he i~nstipctively
threw up his hand to stop it. The bird
neither stopped nor swerved, but In
stead dashed straight for the hand.
striking it with such force that the bill
penetrated to the bone and sent the
blood squirting as though the man had
been struck by a knife.
This sort of action is in line with the
general conduct Of the Jay. It is one Of
the most aggressive birds on the con
tinent, robbing the nests Of other birds
and sometimes even killing young SPUR

said of, it is that it often robs the nest
