An Indian Game Fowl THAT is Very
Valuable.
Not often does the price of single
egg climb TO 500, 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
Azeel fowls, have been the very apex
Of the game breed, for the 'pureness of
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 purest blood, for they
are treasured by the Indian sportsman
at the highest value.
AS game fowl they are great fight
crs. Those who have seen them in In

Nj. Max Regis Wore Golden Handouts

1t will be remembered, says the
Westminster Gazette. that some years
ago NJ. Max Regis was presented by n
group of lady admirers with pair of
golden handouts, in commemOration
of his arrest and Imprisonment in the
great cause of Nationalism. The An
tl-Semite swore that he would wear
the mamcles as souvenir bracelets for
the remainder of his life. For some
time he kept his promise, and then 1t
was observed that he had abandoned
his decorative fetters. Why? Was 1t
infidelity 10 the cause, or whatf Peo-
pie wondered, and could get no salts

there was a public sale of unredeemed
pledges from the Mont de Piete. The
golden handouts (weghing forty five
grammes) We're included in the cata-

Cascara bark peeling has become an
active industry in the forests Of West
ern Washington, says the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer. The bark is TAX
en- from the barberry or chittimwood
trees that grow profusely in the Grays
harbor district. 1t has a commercial
value OF eight cents per pound. An
ordinary tree yields from 80 to 100
pounds of the dried bark. Whole
families are engaged in collecting the
bark and selling to dealers. Some
men make SIS day at the work. En-
tire sections are contracted by Eastern
buyers, and peelers engaged to supply
the bark. There is talk of petitoning
the Legislature to enact laws for pre-
serving the trees, which are more val.
liable than any timber grown in the
native forest. The bark is used for
medicinal purposes. 1t is estimated
that one pound of dry bark will make
enough liquid extract to sell for 81 at
wholesale.

One of the greatest, and certainly one of

was the supreme beauty of the main group

take in the vast picture as the eye sees it,,
the early views Of the group-a bit here

their nobility of architecture and general
grandeur. Then again in the ground plans

The Philippine section covers no less
than forty-seven acres, has 100 buildings
and some $4,000 catalogued exhibits, and
represents an outlay of over a million dol

to advantage. Entrance to the section is
free, but twenty-five cents is charged to go
into each of the four native villages, which
are intensely interesting. The villages run
along Arrowhead Lake, and the inhabi-

their visitors. The Igorottes, who wear as
