Quail fighting is done on a table with a
little fence about its edge. The fighting
qualls have been starved for some time.
AS they are put into the pen a few grains
of rice or wheat are laid before them, and
they at once begin to fight over them.
They. are trained for the purpose, and a
good fighter is worth 500 and upward.
1t is the same with the crickets. Their
prize rings are little bowls. The crickets
have been trained. They seem to under
stand their masters word and they are
urged on to the combat with straws.
The Chinese understand how to feed and
groom the crickets for the fray. They give
them honey, boiled chestnuts and boiled
rice and certain kinds of fish. They do
not allow any one to smoke near them
for they think that tobacco Injuries them

In a cricket fight the crickets are
weighed before. they are put in the ring
They are matched as to size and color
The betting is done just as carefully as
at an English horse race. The stakes are
held by committee, which deducts a GER
tain percentage for those who own the
fighting houses During the fight the
gamblers grow excited. They scream and
yell and hop up and down as one insect
gets the better of the other and 60 almost
mad when one wins.

mostly games Of change Even in kite fly

In such contests the strings are often

At every feast, however, there are
games Of guessing upon which money is

here 1t is notable that the reason ap-

feature. very large group is made
up OF applications based on the ground
that the same men held Office under the
Confederation; one of the most interest
ing OF these comes from w. T. Franklin

the corresponding group of the present
day--those in which the appeal is based
upon the necessitous circumstances of the
candidate; for instance Joseph Donaldson
of Baltimore tells the president: 81 am

on some of its reckless extravaganza for

example, we should like to know more
of the proposal of James Burn of Balti-
more, who applies for appointment as
Surveyor of the Port, to pay, if appointed
to the widow and five children of his
predecessor, 9250 a year. Another Mary
land man, Captain Henry Carbery of
Aquasco, had served through the Reyolu-

indiscretion of his youth and not operate
against his claim. James Zebra. resi-

During his term as congressman, Major
William A. Smith, eX-president of the

New York and stopped at one of the
American plan hotels Upon seating him
self at dinner he was obseuuiously handed

aside, he passed the waiter dollar, with
the remark: Bring me good dinner
The dinner proving satisfactory, the
congressman pursued this practice during
his entire stay. As, the last tip was
changing hands he mentioned that he
was about to return to Washington.
