An Indian Game Fowl That is Very
Valuable.
Not often does the price OF single
egg climb to $780, but this is what was
offered for each Of the eggs OF GER
tain Indian game hen, which WAS
brought to England some time ago.
For centuries the Indian game, or
AZcel fowls, have been the very apex
of the game breed, for the pureness or
blood and pedigree have been most
carefully preserved for so long that
the date of the origin Of the race has
been lost in the past.
1t is almost impossible to procure
specimens of the purcst blood, for they
are treasured by the Indian sportsman
at the highest value.
AS game fowl they are great fight
ers. Those who have seen them i'll In

Japan. Even the ceremony Of giving

compliments. 3 servant will never
tell her mistress that she is dissatis-

Instead, she asks for few days leave
of absence. This is willingly granted,
for Japanese servants have no settled
time for taking holidays.
At the end of the given time the
mistress will begin to wonder what
has become of the girl. A letter ar
rives couched in the most polite and
humble terms, and giving any excuse
but the real one. Sometimes it will
be that she has found herself too weak

He Needs No Sleep

age without sleep? These are largo
questions and they ramify in many
ways when one begins to deal With
them speculatiyely. In the first place
much will depend upon the type and
temperament Of the man. Persons

are limited, and who are without the
afflatus which gives a rich poetic
color to the things OF this life-per-
sons who are sluggish mentally and

sharp exigencies Of the struggle for
existence, the dumb, driven cattle OF

After all, the chief charm of this race
of winged flowers does not lie in their
varied and brilliant beauty. not yet in
their wonderful series of transfOrma-
tions, in their long and sordid caterpil-
lar life, their long slumber in the
chrysalis, or tip very brief period
which comprises their beauty. their
love making, their parentage and their
death. Nor does it lie in the fact that
we do not yet certainly know whether
they have in the caterpillar shape the
faculty Of sight or not. and do not even
know the precise use Of their most
conspicuous organ in maturity. the an

that they of all created things have
furnished man with the symbol of. his
own immortality. 1t rather lies in the
fact that, with all their varied life and
activity, they represent an absolutely

COAL IN RUSSIA.
There IS an Abundant Supply Of Fuel
in the Cars Cominions.

1t was not until the discovery OF pc
presence of extensive coal beds in that
region was suspected by geologists,
says the Chicago Chronicle. Since that
time it has been clearly shown that
european Russia, to say nothing or 81
Derla, possesses one valuable coal field
IN her southeastern provinces, through
which the River DonetZ runs, field
which yields fuel of excellent quality
Thirty years ago the output did not
exceed 100000 tons; last year 1t was
100000, and this only half the pos
slble amount. Strange to say, the
home demand does not rise to even
this small quantity, and the Mining as
sociation of South Russia is consider
Ing whether it can not compete with
English coal in the ports OF the Med
lterranean. There is small hope OF
their doing anything of the kind, but
If the cars government would give
its 120,000000 subjects peace, an eco
nomical administration and rational
fiscal system, 1S,000,000 tons OF coal
would be too little-plus the petroleum
OF Baku-and not too much even for
southern Russia.
South Russia coal is shipped from
the port of Mariupol, on the sea OF
Azov. The sea has lately exhibited
a somewhat rare phenomenon. Its wa
ters are shallow, and for several days,
dating from Dec. Is, they recede under
the influence of strong winds to such
an extent that at Taganrog the bed OF
the sea was visible for several miles.
A late eminent Canadian geologlst,
Sir w. Dawson, after inquiries on the
spot in Egypt, believed the passage OF
the Red sea-more correctly the Bitter
lakes-by the IsraeliteS was explained
by the action of similar persistent
winds. Sir William, when in Egypt In
1884. was of opinion that the locality
Of the crossing could be identified.
Another extremely valuable mineral
resource of southern Russia is the de-
posit of manganese ore found imme-
diately to the south of the Caucasus
mountains-the richest in the world.
The stream extends over So miles and
is computed to hold some 900
tons of ore OF this amount about g.
100000 tons have been excavated but
not for Russia. The empire is content
with about 1-2 percent, while Great
Britain, the largest buyer, takes over
36 percent. Holland 20, and the United
States nearly 10 percent. AS Of their

means of securing this Information. The

numbering seven steamers, which had been

of the beach at Stone HarbOr, on the Jersey
Shore, were making ready to leave for the fish
grinding factories on the Delaware Bay shore
when a government revenue cutter hove in
sight. The fishing fleet put on a full head OF
steam and started toward the Breakwatef.
The government vessel signaled the steamers
to lay to, hut their ca plains continued on their
course. People on the beach at stone Harbor
heard the cutter signal the fishing pirates
several times. Then they saw a puff of white
smoke rise from the cutters bow, followed
by the boom OF gun. Even this did not
cause the fishing steamers to slow up. Sew
