TRAINING OF cAMEcocks.
As It Is Conducted. in the Country
Clubhouse Of Wealthy
Philadelphian.

A young millionaire of Philadelphia
has been for five years profoundly in
terested in fighting cocks. At his
country place he has clubhouse de.
voted to the training of cocks, and
down in the clubhouse basement is the
cockpit, a handsome amphitheater.
The average person is unaware,
says an eastern exchange. that the
training of a fighting cock is as care
full and elaborate as the training Of a
fighting man.
The millionaire stood the other
morning in q spacious and sunlit
room Of the clubhouse. One wall was
lined with handsome cages, each con-
tanning cock, and here and there were
curious apparatus-a springboard, q
mattress, scales, shears, and so on.
The trainer took cock out of a cage.
He weighed it and entered its weight
in a book. Then, holding it on
the springboard with one hand, he
worked the board vigorously with the
other. Thus the cock, maintaining its
balance on the fiercely jumping spring
board, got good deal of violent exer-
else.
The trainer next massaged the bird
all over He rubbed and pinched and
pounded the muscles Of legs, wings,
neck and body. This massage was to
give suppleness and strength, and to
keep the skin and feathers healthy
Now the man raised the cock in both
hands above his head and threw it, as
one would throw football, on the mat
tress. It lighted handily on its feet,
and on the vibrating springs it ~kept its
equilibrium. Again, and even harder,
the trainer tossed it down, and again
it did not lose its balance. For. five
minutes, in this way, the man played
ball. with the bird. Then he took its
temperature with a thermometer, rub
bed it down and replaced it in its cage.
''Thus," said the milliopaire, eve
train our lighting cocks" He pointed
here and there about the room. "Those
are the. shears" he said, I'VE cut their
feathers with. The odd looking mani
cure set is for their spurs-they fight
with their spurs, you know, as duelista
fight with swords. With the hypoder-
mic syringe we inject dope into
| them !" ,s'-s->,7-s'-s'--

1HE GIFTS MEN HAVE.

Are you but one of the many
Who have gifts that are little and few?
Or have you such strength as they need
Whose deeds are uplifting, who lead?
Have talents been lavished on you?
Are you but one of the many
Who. having been meagerly blessed,
May never have greatness or fame?
With only poor talents to claim
Are you honestly doing your best?
Or. having been splendidly gifted,
Are you letting the moments go by3
Are you lazily drifting along,
Content to be down in the throng,
When you might be leader and high?
When we stand up, at last, to hear judg-
ment,
will pray for his chance who is small
But doing the best that he can,
Tor the meanest of things is the man
Who might soar and is willing to crawl.

Fortune from Trees.

Y Orsa, in Sweden, has in the course of
a generation sold G1,150,000 worth Of
trees, and by means of judicious replant-
ing has provided for a similar income
every 30 or 40 years. In consequence Of
the DEVELOPMENT of this commercial
wealth there are no taxes. Railways and
telephones are free. and so are the
schoolhouses, teaching, and many other
things.

FEATs OF BLIND AcRoBATs
Athletic Experiences Which Is As
tonishing in London College
Gymnasts.

Many OF the gymnastic exhibitions
given in recent years by students Of coll
leges ana universities of the world, cred
table as they have been, are consider
ably overshadowed in the superior work
done by the blind students connected
with the Royal College and Academy
for the Blind at Upper Norwood, Eng
land, as was clearly demonstrated re-
Gently in the wonderful public exhibition
given by students of this academy at the
Crystal palace, this city, says London
report.
The athletic expertness that is being
attained by these blind students is GER
tainly marvellous and astounding, all Of
+ which is attributable to the regular
practice work pursued in the gymna-
stun.
1t is an admitted fact that the twen-
tieth century finds physical training an
important factor in the educational
schemes for the seeing. Gymnastics and
drill enter, in lesser or greater de-
gree, in the curriculum of the schools
and colleges of all nations.
If physical training is considered so
necessary nowadays for the development
OF the seeing, it is contended by those
well advanced in the training of the
blind that it is equally, If not far more
important, for the sightless, in order
that they may not be handicapped with
feebleness, awkwardness and helpless
ness, in addition to their sightlessness.
The physical development of the blind
is absolutely essential, If they are to
show vigorous growth, morally, men
tally or physically.
To bring about this happy and neces-
sary condition of things among the
blind, the latter now have recourse to
regular training in the gymnasium of
this very unique Royal college in Lon
don, where the course includes various
kinds Of mass and apparatus work. In
addition. cycling, rowing, swimming
and roller skating are also systematical-
ly taught. ,.,as..- II ,....<
Blind boys and girls of this insti-
tute, many children of very poor par
ents, exercise alike in extension, IRON
bar and dumb-bell movements, to-
gether with combination exercise upon
the parallel bars, horizontal bar and
vaulting horse, and execute the move
ments as perfectly as the sighted classes
The various machines used in the
gymnasium Of the college are admir-
ably calculated to develop even the most
feeble Of the blind students, so that the
pupil can proceed to the more advanced
apparatus, such as parallel bar, hori-
zontal bar, vaulting horse. and take
part also in such outdoor exercises as
cycling, boating, running, swimming,
etc.
The instructors at the Royal College
for the Blind sufficiently vary the class
exercises In the gymnasium as to bring
all parts Of the body into healthfuI ac-
tivity SO as to open the pores of the
skinss force impurities to the surface,
expand the lungs, cause deep breathing
to stimulate the heart action, change
frequently the position of the sviscera,
thereby stimulating the flow Of blood to
all parts of the body.

Its really remarkable, considering
the .000000,000 cigars smoked in the
United States every year, how few
men really know how to smoke said
a prominent tobacco dealer. There Is
one mistake in particular that even ex-
perienced smokers sometimes make.
That is in not keeping the tobacco
burning properly.
About 30 per cent, should say, Of
all the cigars sold are better on the
outside than the inside This isn't
wholly 70 deceive the prospective buy
er; it requires good quality of leaf
to share the outside of a cigar while
the filer may be mere readily com
posed OF inferior tobacco. The smoker
who permits his cigar to burn inside
the wrapper loses the best part OF it.
Practically any cigar IL rank when
smoked through the center. The
aroma is lost and the smoke Is bitter
and acrid.
Putting on cigar that is not burn
ing properly only increases the diff
Guilty. The smoker gets more of tie
smoke of the inside leaves, and the
whole cigar becomes hot from the eff
fects of the increased combustion in
the center of it. The proper thing, the
only thing to do under the circum
stances, Is to light the cigar again
taking care that wrapper and all are
included in the lighting If this plan
we're followed good many smokers
wouldn't change their brand Of cigars
so often"
