Prizes for Ugly Girls.
From Tit-Bits.

From Tft-Blts
An interesting Snowman in Milan, who
has more than once organized successful
beauty shows, recently struck out in a new
line by arranging what might be styled an
ugly show, whereat number Of women
and girls competed for three prizes which
were offered for the three ugliest competi-
tors. And, strange to say, the show was
decided success, which goes to prove that,
contrary to common belief, there are some
women sufficiently ugly to be conscious of
their defect.
There were fourteen competitors and by
all accounts every one of them deserved
prize; indeed, some one suggested that while
considering to whom to award the prizes the
judges had worn smoked glasses in order to
save their feelings. However that may
have been. the winner of the first prize-a
young woman of twenty-four-was the wife
of local frame maker and the mother of
five children.
In the German town Of Haschmann it is
an annual custom to award cash prizes to
the ugliest girl OF the year, also to the most
crippled and to woman Of more than
forty summers who has had at least two
lovers at different times, but lost them
These prizes are provided by the interest
derived from a sum OF money, left by a
wealthy Haschmann philanthropist and are
really intended to encourage local men to
marry the ugly, the crippled and the re-
jected: but in this matter they do not ap-
pear to be very effective, though the prize
to the ugliest girl generally amounts to
about 916. and that to the crippled to some
E12, while a1O usually falls to the woman
of blighted affection.

that Of their European competitors. II
was announced to the commission that un-

Ice Interferss VITA Fishine.

Now that Ice has begun to form on the
river the fishermen who have been operat-
ing trap nets are taking them up and put
ting them aside until the spring fishing
season opens, about the middle Of Febru-
airy or the first of March. The nets are
moved because they freeze so stiff that the
fishermen have difficulty in taking them
from the water to remove the fish caught
in them and because there Is danger of a
sudden freeze coming and carrying the
nets away and causing quite a serious
financial loss to their owners. Most of the
nets along the lower river have been taken
up, but 1T is said that a number of the
fishermen operating nets in this vicinity,
particularly in the sheltered creeks, will
keep their nets in the water as long as
possible. the good price obtained for fish
from the river and the demand for them
warranting the risk and the hard work in
the cold The fishing shores. which usual
ly begin winter fishing soon after the LIST
of January as possible, will not begin fish
ing this year until the latter part Of Janu-
airy or early in February.

From lODQoH truth
What would the Zionists have us do? So
far as l can make 1t out, they want a sort
of reserve for Jews to be established in
Palestine, where they may enjoy the rights
of self-government But the sovereign of
Palestine is the sultan, and would they
have us head crusade to annex the coun-
try and then hand 1t over TO them? In
Palestine there are inhabitants-mostly Mo-
hammedans. Are they to be driven out and
to be deprived of the ownership of the
soil? The scheme is altogether a preposter-
Gus one. But If the Jews really want to
found some sort of Hebrew state, l should
advise them to treat the matter themselves
with the sultan. He is very needy sultan
and possibly might agree to deal for g.
good sum down and a handsome tribute
and give them a portion of Palestine under
his suzerainty. provided that they pre-
pared handsomely to compensate its iDhab-
ttants for appropriation. / doubt, however

or are disposed to provide the means for

FATE OF EUROPEAN BISON.
Revolutions in Russia Cause Decrease
in Their Number.

From Forest and Stream.
An interesting side effect of~the rebellion
and perhaps revolution of which we read In
Russia is the possible speedy extinction of
a species of animal which for many years
has been jealousy protected by the czar.
In times of national peace and contentment
the European bison lives in the imperial
forests of Lithuania, presumably unmoest-
ed; but whenever there Is rising in Poland
and the rebels take to the woods they use
this herd of bison as a part of their COM
missary. and kill them for beef.
For many years there has been a gradual
lessening in numbers of this herd, which by
many biologists is thought to be due TO in
breeding; yet there are others who believe
that the decrease In this protected herd,
which fifty years ago numbered nearly 600
and which lives wild in Its native habitat
is too rapid to be accounted for solely by
inbreeding, and must be due to destruction
by man. Notwithstanding the efforts made
by the authorities to protect them. Statis-
ties Of the Bielowitza herd in Grodno show
that between 1888 and 1857 these bison in
creased from 766 to ]. $685. but from this time
ON the decrease has been constant until in
1892 the herd numbered less than 800.
The butchery of human beings In Russia,
which is reported to be taking place on
scale quite unparalleled in times of peace
for the last hundred years, stirs the emo
lions of the world; yet biologists will view
with keen regret the dlminution of the Eu-
ropean bison. which for hundreds of years
has been preserved from extinction only by
the very hand that brought its numbers so
low.
OF the herd of these bison which inhabits
the mountains OF the Caucasus. In the prov
ince Of Kuban. we know little or nothing,
but the same causes which seem likely to
bring about the absolute determination of
the herd In Grodno will be operative In the
Caucasus. and the race seems likely now to
receive a blow from which 1t can never re-
cover.
On one Of two estates in Europe and in a
few geological gardens there are living
specimens of these bison. but their numbers
are very few. Perhaps the little herd be-
longing to the Prince Of Pless - the most

gineers dock at the foot of 26th street. ara
It is very doubtful II the boat will ever be

was nice little craft. and with the expen-

have been kept in service for number OF
years. Lying unused she sprang q leak and

Protecting Game in Virginia.

Stafford county, in Virginia, has always
been a favorite hunting ground for the
sportsmen of this city. and so strenuous
have been the attacks on the game in the
county that the board Of supervisors have
taken steps to protect that which remains.
1t has adopted an ordinance providing a
heavy fine and imprisonmentTfor any per-
son who kills partridge in the county
after December /. and wild turkeys and
other game birds will be protected after
the first of next month, January. This
will be bad news to the Washington sports
men who proposed to spend the Christmas
holidays in the woods of Stafford county
after game. as it leaves only. rabbits and
SQUIRRELS to hunt. While this particular
prohibition on cartridges, wild turkeys and
birds generally applies only. it is under
stood, to the county of Stafford, other
counties in the northern neck of Virginia
have adopted regulations Of similar ma
ture.
