An Indian Game Fowl That 10 Very
Valuable.
Not often does the price Of a single
egg climb to 500, but this is what was
offered for each Of the eggs of a 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
ers. Those who have seer them in In
dia - for the finest birds lever reach
our colder tlimates-tell Of their Prov
ess and ungovernable teCacity in bat
tie. With them it is always victory
or death.

poses. hut for show. and as pets and

finely. Nor is there any clashing in the
case of the French Ionic style of the build

The Philippine section covers no less

are intensely interesting. The villages run

IT Didn't Pay.

A newsboy was strutting along Wal
nut %treet recently when close TO a
curb he espied a bright ten-cent piece.
A benevolent looking gentleman stood
near, and the honest boy, thinking the
man had dropped the coin, picket it up
and offered 1t to him.
The gentleman turned kindly and
not only allowed the youngster to re-
tain the coin, but gave him a quarter,
saying:
Here is a reward for being honest,
my young man.
The boy trotted off in high spirits.
That night he slept little partly on ac-
count of thinking of his good fortune.
and partly because of a scheme which
his youthful brain had Matched. He
would make money deliberately in the
same way as he had accidentally made
it on that day.
It would be necessary only to drop
a coin heal some one: then the reward
would come in the way of a present
for honesty.
The next morning he started off early
and, seeing a we'll dressed gentleman
standing at a corner, he softly ap-
preached. Deity he dropped a ten
cent piece heal by; then, suddenly turn
ing, he said:
Excuse me, mister; did you drop
this?"
The gentleman. q noted millionaire,
glanced at the proffered coin. Then he
took it, saying:
"Ah! perhaps I did. I always have
loose change about me, but I must re-
ward you for your honesty"
The boys heart went pit-a-pat. The
millionaire fumbled in his pocket till
a car was near. Then he quickly
pressed a copper in the anxious boys
hand and boarded the car.-Philadel-

Of winged flowers does not lie in their

their wonderful series of transforma-
tons, in their long and sordid caterpil-
lar life, their long slumber in the

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

DO NEWSPAPERS STIMULATE cRIME7
President Hopkins Says Publicity ID q
EruitHul snurcr of CriinLnaI Sucseation.

President Hopkins Says Publicity 10 d
Fruitful source of Criminal Suggestion.
One Of the most iOtent and most
continually operative causes OF crime
is the vast volume OF criminal sug-
gestion flowing in upon the public
mind through various means, but 6
pecially through the public press. III
the detailed accounts Of criminal ac-
tons in the average newspaper there
is minute instruction in crime as a fine
art. The reader Is taught both bow
to perform the criminal part and how
to eyade his merited punishment.
This is the opinion of President Hop
kins. of Williams College, expressed in
a recent address in New York City.
The New York Globe admits that there
is some truth in the indictment, but
denies that it runs against all papers.
The real offender, says the Globe, IS
the yellow journal seeking TO produce
sensations rather than to print news:
The fault of the depraved press lies
not so much in the prominence 1t gives
to police annals as in its treatment or
them. To journals that belong to this
class the murder, or assault. or theft
which is reported in the news of the
day is regarded merely as material
for "a story" in which, if the victim is
not a person of Importance, the GRIM
inal is made the central figure, the
hero of what is in many turned
into a mere romance. Hence every de-
tail, whether real or imagined, that
will heighten the effect is brought
into requisition, the sole effort being
to produce in the reader a thrill of
excitement. The plain record of an
ordinary crime has no value for this
purpose.
The Brooklyn Eagle believes that tine
good effects of newspapers do overpal-
ance the bad an hundred-fold.
Undoubtedly the glowing newspaper
reports of crime harm some minds,
but, on the other hand, fear of news
paper publicity is almost the only in
luence that restraints thousands, and
especially the powerful of the business
and social worlds, from giving way to
their base or predatory instincts. The
good which even the most sensational
newspapers do overbalances the bad
an hundred-fold.
The st. Paul Globe suggests that
President Hopkins has mistaken the
effect for the cause The fact that ac-
counts Of crimes fill a great deaf OF
space in the newspapers is proof
neither of an actual increase of crime
nor of criminal suggestion arising
from such accounts.
1t must be remembered that within
the last fifty years the peoples of the
earth have been drawn very closely
together. Those dwelling on other
continents have become practically our
next-door neighbors and We know as
much about their affairs as about those
of the people who actually live across
the street. Has not Professor Hopkins
mistaken an increase i'll publicity for
an increase in crime?

The Pike bias in the Tyrolean Alps the
finest concession that l have ever seen.
There is a great square with many. quaint
buildings, a little village street, and above
the snow-clad mountains-which look very
real as the evening falls. The best scenic
railroad yet devised affords several hne
glimpses Of the Alps, and there is a very
graphic exposition or the Oberammergau
passion play in the little church: The
Cliff Dwellers' concession also looks very
realistic at nightfall. 1t is elaborate in ar.
rangement, aad the counting, snake and
other dances by the Southwestern Indians
make it another Of the Pike shows which
should be taken in by all. In Seville there
is an amusing marionette theatre and some
genuine Spanish dancing. For the rest the
Pike offers infinite variety, and as a rule
the full moneys worth is given. The enor-

also a la carte service. Everything consid-
cred the prices are not excessive, and at
least one meal should be taken there for
the experience. Another should be taken
at the Tyrolean Alps, either outdoors or in
the gorgeous dining room in the mountain
side. The best French restaurant is at
Paris, on the Pike. Lower in prices and
in every way admirable are the two restau-
rants conducted by Mrs. Rorer in the pa.
vilions Of Cascade Gardens. The east one
has mattresses and no beer and the west
one walters and beer. For a bit OF lunch
Germany, France and England all offer de-
licious pastry in the Agricultural building.

tips for the traveller. There are no end of
restaurants to fit oil purses on the grounds.
