Billiards Ruin Moaris.

From the London Daily Express.
 "The Maori children are often kept up all night billiard marking, and are there fore utterly unfit to come to school or to work when they do come."
 This remarkable statement is made by Mr. w. Bird, Inspector of native schools in New Zealand, in his annual report, which throws light on the extraordinary gambling propensities of the natives.
 Billiard tables, MT. Bird declares. are to be seen in the gum fields. in the na- tive settlements, and even on the road side.
 In one place, Mir Bird declares several natives after losing all their possessions, gambed away their crops, and when win ter came were unable to supply either food or clothing to their children.

SOME THING ABOUT THE MODERN GIANT The Muscular Powers of Some
 Noted Strong Wen FEATS PERFORMED BY KING Augustus the Strong of Saxony Would Twist Iron Bars Around the
 Necks of His Courtiers
 for Collars.

A story which was told d short time ago in the Spanish newspaper Gl Correo furnishes striking illustration of the strength of human muscles. Fermini Arnd, a Spanish giant, famous for his stature and strength, was hunting in the Pyrenees when he encountered on his way home gigantic bear which came to- ward him erect with forepaws out stretched, says the Washington Post.
 Arndi's rifle was not loaded and he feared to break it by using the butt end upon his adversary. He put the rifle down upon the ground, and, going straight up to the bear, dexterously grappled it in his powerful arms. Hunter and animal rolled over in terrible strug- ble until Arndi succeeded in drawing his knife and dispatching the bear, which weighed 300 pounds. Then he placed It across his shoulder and returned with 1t to his native town.
 EnuIands Strong Man.
 Such feat as this, however wonderful as it seems would not have been thought much of by Thomas Topham, the Long Island innkeeper, whose muscular per formances were one of the marvels of the early part of the last century. Topham was a man of but ordinary physique to All appearances, but he could perform feats of strength which Hercules himself might have enyied He made light Of walking off with three hogsheads of wa ter for instance which could not have weighed much less than three-quarters Of a ton; and when he came to turnpike gate he would payfully heave his horse over it instead of troubling the gatekeep- CT to open itfor him.
 He snapped a rope which had borne Q ton weight without breaking; lifted with his teeth an oak table two yards long. with a fifty-six pound weight at the other end of it. and broke broomsticks by strik- ing them against his bare arm He would take a massive pewter dish, seven pounds in weight, and roll 1t up as if 1t were a sheet of paper; crush a pewter quart cup in his fingers as easily as most men would break an egg shell, and wave couple or hundred weights over his head with his little finger Once he twisted, Kitchen spit around the neck of an impertinent ostler. and he could smash the toughest cocoanut by striking it against his ear.
 What Some Kings Have Done.
 Such performances of professional strong men are sufficiently startling but there have been great kings who could rival some of them. Thus, Augustus the Strong of Saxony in his playful moods would seize a couple of courtiers, one in each hand and hold them out at arms length; he would twist stout iron bars round their necks for collars and straight en horseshoes with wrench of his mus cular fingers; while on one occasion, when

 A Valuable Invention.
 F. M. Hogg, d prosperous farmer living near Bessemer and a cousin to Governor Hogg of Texas, has perfected two inven- tions that promises to be of great value to coke producers. Mir. Hogg will go to Washington in a few days where he will have his inventions fully protected by patent. both in America and in Europe One Of the devices invented by MT. Hogg is for the purpose of pulling coke from the ovens and is said to be capable of doing the work of ten expert coke pullers and is operated by only one man.
 The other machine is for loading coke on cars and is said to do the work of twenty-five men. MT. Hogg has prepared fine models of his devices and expert me- chanics and coke operators who have in spected them claim that they will be of very great value to coke producers and are very important inventions.
