THE FIGHTING INSTINCT.
Story of a Desperate Hand to Hand
Encounter Against Heavy Odds.

Now and then among the brutali-
ties and crimes that form the chief
subjects of daily journalism in this
country, there comes an item that
not only appeals to our morbid nature
but gets in close to the primal love
of fight which springs eternal in the
human animal. Most of us have no
feeling except of loathing in the case
of the secret assassination of six Ital-
ians in Minneapolis, because their
modes of fight are Latin in country
of Anglo-Saxon prejudices. But just
week before, the press dispatches
from Bristol, Tennessee, told of the
sudden demise of seven Italians who
with others had conspired to murder
their section foreman, because he was
"hard boss" Doubtless he was!
Nevertheless, the old fighting blood
tingles at the bare account of the bat
tie that the foreman, Haverly, whose
name suggests his nationality, waged
single-handed against the body of Ia
borers that rushed" him. Had he
been armed with revolver, he would
have no sympathy, but he depended on
the first weapon at hand-a crowbar.
Backed against an embankment, he
withstood the combined attack OF the
entire gang of laborers, all bent on his
murder, and armed, against him, with
picks, axes, and spades, in addition
to their knives. Repugnant as the idea
of killing may be, one can scarcely
help thrill at the thought Of the fore
man, Haverly, at bay like knight of
former days, fighting for his life, and
so sturdily and valiantly laying about
him, weapon for weapon, steel against
steel, until he stretched seven Of his
assailants dead before him and routed
the rest. Haverly may be a brute and
a bully; he may have deserved what
the laborers, rising like desperate
slaves against a tyrant, had in store
for him. Yet, somehow, that is hard to
believe because the innate love for
combat in our nature challenges ad-
miration for a man who displays des-
perate courage and physical prowess.

Little CannibaIS.

Every once in a while we hear of
breeders complaining of the cannibal-
istic habits among growing fowls. espe-
cially among those still in the days of
their early babyhood. This pernicious
habit, when once the young birds be-
come thoroughly addicted to it, is rath-
er difficult to control and suppress.
Usually il finds its chief expression In
flocks confined to close quarters, where
the ground is bare and the feed is
wanting in animal matter. Bird life
under natural conditions finds oppor-
tunity for work and play in the hunt
ing of insects for food and in the care
full selection of such vegetable mat
ter as its system may demand. Young
chicks, when confined, are obviously
deprived of these opportunities for a
healthful exercise; the result is that
they become idle, which engenders
vicious habits and a craving for some
thing to do as well as for animal food.
When in this condition if a member
of the little flock shows wound or
effects of blood, the chances are that
one or two will at once commence to
peck at it, which leads the others on,
and soon the whole flock will be rend-
Ing tue llllle one iulO SnlouS, uS'Oui
ing it before one has opportunity to re-
lieve its misery or to isolate 1t from
the flock. The remedy, of course, is
obvious, namely, afford the young
chicks a wider range and be more care
full in your feeding by making it
point to keep them busy by throwing
the food into litter or suspending a
head of lettuce or cabbage where they
can peck at it; also supply in one form
or another animal food. A good way
to do this is to take the underground
scratching chick feeds, which of them
selves are a balanced ration, and scat
ter the same in a litter of chopped
straw or hay, about one and one-half
or two inches deep. In fact, anything
that will make litter may be consid-
cred available.

the public press as to which system
was better: the American custom
which ordained the sack suit in busi-
ness and a change of raiment for
laborers after hours; or the English
custom which set the frock coat up
as the emblem of respectability among
tradesmen, mark distinguishing
them from the laboring classes and
kept the latter in blouse and hob
nailed boots during his hours Of rest.
In England they talk a lot of what
seems awful rot to this side of the
water, and they take clothes very
seriously. Each class has its gar
ments and each garment its use.
In London the Tuxedo is still a
lounge coat, something to be slipped
on during the early evening and dis
carded for the formal swallow tail
before starting for any entertainment.
But the American has forced it into
public life, has ordained a black tie
and gold shirt studs with it, in place

on to another hunt.
II opened much like the last. Late in
the afternoon we sighted gray fellow
with tail up, not half mile off. AS we
rose to the upland and sighted the chase

came up with the Wolf and snapped at
his haunch. The Gray wolf turned round
to fight, and we had a fine view. The
Dogs came up by two and threes, barking
at him In a ring, till last, Snap, the
little white one rushed up. He wasted
no time barking, but rushed straight at
the VOLTS throat and missed It, yet
ten big Dogs closed in, and In two minutes
the wolf was dead. Snap had lived up
to my promises for him.
Now II was my turn TO crow, and i did
not lose the chance. Snap had shown
them how, and at last the Mendoza
pack had killed a Gray-wolf without help
There were two things to mar the
victory somewhat; first, II was a young

of the white tie and pearl studs that
must be worn with the tailed coat.
The American speaks of his Tuxedo
suit and his dress suit. The English
man talks of his evening clothes, and
would as soon think of changing his
trousers to match his smoking jacket,
as of changing his studs and tie to
accord with his Tuxedo.
While the vast majority of men buy
their clothes "ready" or "semi-ready'
made, most men regard with envy the
one who has time and money to have
his clothes made and fitted. The En-
glishman of means considers it his
duty to have his clothes made by the
very best tailors and to wear them as
badly as possible. AS he can rarely
remain long at a time within his own
country, London custom tailors have
stored in their safes measurements of
hundreds of wandering Britons who
usually cable from various parts of
the world when they need new
clothes. These measurements are a
valuable asset and insurance on them
frequently amounts to several thou
sand pounds sterling.
AS matter of fact, the best dressed
man in the world is neither the New
Yorker nor the LondOner, but the man
who gets his frock coat, cutaway and
evening clothes from the Bond Street

A Sudden Change.

Two commercial travellers, one from
London and one from New York, were
discussing the weather in their respec-
tive countries.
The Englishman said that English
weather had one great fault-its sud-
den changes.
"A person may take a walk one
day." he said, 'attired in light sum-
mer suit, and still feel quite warm.
Next day he needs an overcoat."
That's nothing" said the American.
my two friends, Johnson and Jones,
were once having an argument. There
were eight Or nine inches of snow on
the ground. The argument got heated,
and Johnson picked up SNOWFALL and
threw it at Jones from a distance of
not more than five yards. During the
transit of that SNOWFALL, sir, believe
me or not, as you like, the weather
suddenly changed and became hot and
summer-like, and Jones, instead of be-
ing hit with a SNOWFALL, was-er-
scalded with hot water!"

The OregOn's Big Pennan.

When the Oregon left Hongkong re-
Gently, after her long period of service
on the Asiatic station, she was flying a
homeward-bound pennant over 500 feet
in length. 1t was necessary to support
this long streamer by two small bal
looms tied to the end to keep it out of
the water. The pennant was made of
silk thread and attracted much atten-
tion in the Asiatic port.
In the old days it was the custom to
have a foot of pennant for every day Of
the cruise. That of the Oregon is prob
ably one of the longest displayed from
the mast of a homecoming ship, al
though it is on record that the old
Brooklyn, on one occasion upon her ar
rival in New York, displayed pennant
700 feet long.

PERnS IN COLD STORAGE.
Frozen Bacteria Active-Covernment
to Make Experiments.

The Agricultural Department is fol-
lowing up line of scientific investiga-
tion of the effect upon perishable goods
in cold storage for an unlimited time,
and DR.. Wiley believes that he will de-
velop the fact that legislation is needed
fixing the period for which such ar
ticles as meats and milks may be
stored.
In one of the Philadelphia cold
storage houses space has been set aside
for the eX. eriments and like arrange
ment has been made in Washington for
storing birds and milk.
The stored articles will be taken out
from time to time and examined to as
certain whether or not deterioration
has begun, and at what period the
point has been reached when the ar
ticles can be no longer stored and re-
main good food.
1t already has been demonstrated,
DR.. Wiley says, that the bacteria that
occasion decay remain in the meat
while frozen, and that they actually
carry on their work, although at
greatly reduced rate.
In one of the cold storage plants in
Cleveland some meat was recently
found which had been mislaid and for
gotten for a period of eleven years. 1t
was sent to the department and a por-
tion thawed out and examined.
Decay had gone on to such an extent
that the meat was entirely un for
use. The greater portion of 1t was
again placed in storage and the obser-
vation will be continued The fact that
the meat, having been frozen for eleven
years, was in a condition of decay is
held to conclusively prove that the
bacteria can work in the meat while
frozen. The object of the investigation
is to ascertain at what point the decay
has progressed to such an extent as to
injure the food value of the article
stored.
There is at present no law prohibit
ing the storage of any article for any
length of time. The only law upon the
subject is one that requires fowls to be
drawn before they are placed in stor-
age.

New CIothes for Easter

The flowers with which many church
es are ornamented on Easter Day are
most probably emblems of the Resur-
rection. There are people today who
think that unless something new is
worn on Easter Day no good fortune
will come to them during the year.
The Dorsetshire poet, Barnes, gives us
this quaint little verse in regard to
this custom:
"Laste Easter I put on my blue frock
coat, the vust time, very new;
WI yaller buttons aal o. brass
That glittered in the zun like glass;

for Them

Several important topics We're dis

which met yesterday
The news that a delegation from the
Chamber of Commerce at Spokane is
to visit Los Angeles soon was received
enthusiastically and it was voted to
give the northerners such a reception
as was given the Oregonians some
weeks ago.
The National Bank of Commerce was
elected to membership
A message was read from William
McN1urray of Portland stating that
Governor Mead of Washington, accom-
panied by a party of 1875 representa-
tives from the Chamber of Commerce
at Spokane, the Tacoma Chamber of
Commerce and the Seattle Commercial
club, would arrive in Los Angeles about
the Gath of this month on an inspec-
tion tour similar to that lately made
by the Oregonans. The president was
instructed to appoint a committee to
prepare for their entertainment, and
the secretary was instructed to send
the itinerary to the excursionists.
A communication was read from r.
Woodland Gates of Washington, stat
ing that the board of ordnance and
fortifications favors the purchase
of sufficient land at San Pedro for
the accommodation of ample fortifica-
tions, but at this time the matter was
not considered of sufficient Importance
to warrant an appropriation. The mat
ter is now in the hands of the COM

LIBRARY BOOKS LOST
ARE 1892 IN YEAR
BRANDING, SAYS LUMMIS, WILL
REDUCE SHORTAGE
Recommends a TurnstiIe Where Pa
irons Must Show Tickets When
Leaving Notwithstanding for
Removal to New Quarters

Letters from prominent librarians all
over the United States have been re-
ceived by Charles F. Lummis of Los
Angeles commencing his annual report
which was sent out recently. The
methods spoken of in the report are
indorsed by many of the best known
library experts of the country.
The monthly report of the librarian
is in part as follows:
1.-The inventory of the general library
room was turned in Saturday and
shows loss for the past year of 1892
books. This is over 100 more than the
year preceding. 1t is over ninety per
cent of the total loss last year of the
Boston public library with it's 81, 900
volumes.
"The branding of books, which is
barely inaugurated, and which will
take several months to complete on
account of the shorthandedness will
probably do something to lessen our
loss; but so desperate a disease as this
will evidently require hard remedies
II repeat that we must establish a
clearing house desk. In the new quar-
ters we can put such a desk at the
front door on the street, the only meth
cd of exit from the library. L recco-
mend that we place there turnstile
a clearing desk, and that every person
leaving the library with a book show
his ticket as he would in well reg
ulated railway station.
1--WE hope to be able to move into
the new quarters without closing ur
the library and we believe that we will
be able to do so. l have ordered a
telephone exchange to be installed in
the new building which will afford the
entire library telephone communica-
tiOn.''
