BARBARIc INDIAN SPORTS.
Great Entertainment for the Governor
Of Bombay

Sir George Clarke, governor of Bonn
bay. was received with splendid hoSpi-
tally by the gakewar on the occasion Of
his recent visit to Baroda. Indian sports
on great scale were arranged in the
old arena. First came an dmusing exhi-
bition by trained parrots. which shot ar
rows into the air and turned somersaults
in giddy succession. One small green
bird fired several rounds from a minia-
ture brass cannon, ramming down the
charge. tipping the printing into the
touch hole and applying the match. The
reports We're loud and startling. but the
bird stood by, nodding its head with evil
dent self-satisfaction at each discharge.
The buffalo fights We're well contested.
From opposite corners of a rallied inclos-
ure two buffaloes We're introduced, white
cloths being spread before them TO hide
them from each other till the ropes by
which they were partially confined We're
removed. The cloths having been pulled
aside, the huge and angry-looking beasts
faced each other for a moment before
the charge; then, with a resounding
crash, their heads came together and the
battle began. Hithe rand thither they
swayed. their horns locked. their heads
upon the ground. Sometimes each strove
to drive his opponent before him, blood
showing in streaks where the horns had
ripped the skin of head or neck.
The first bout was stubbornly fought
for some minutes, till one buffalo. ac-
knowledging defeat. broke loose from his
adversary and bolted to the rails,
through which he crashed the other luIn-
bering after, and made for the stables.
The second pair had to be separated, as
neither would give way. Nor was it easy

A TEXAS CYCLONE YARN.

Z. f. Turner of Hamilton county. said:

me TO be about 500 feet high.

Khedive of Egypt Has Private Railway
King of Snain,s Chief Diversion


The Khedive of Egypt has a private
railway from his palace at Ras-el-Tin in
Alexandria to his country place at Mon
tazar. and it constitutes one of his
favorite hobbies. 1t is, of course, only
short line, ten miles, but it is long
enough to give him the constant delight
of driving the engine himself, which he
generally does. He is very keen en-
gineer, as was shown by the interest he
took in the great Nile dam at Assuan.
but he is perennially interested in loco
motives. During his last visit to France
he rode on the cab with the driver of
the express from Calais to Amiens, and
took a hand at the levers.
The Warehouses of Tweeddale drove
the first locomotive that crossed the
Forth bridge. The Marques of Down
shire has IA private railway at Hillsbor-
ough. and keeps a sort of pet" engine
which cost his lordship 1000 guineas.
The train contains a splendid saloon
carriage for his guests, for he himself
is generally on the engine, and a guards
van. in which some of his guests prefer
to ride. He almost invariably drives
the engine with his own hands and his
favorite speed is forty miles an hour.
There is no speed limit on private
railway line and no police trapsl
Earl FitZwilliam is another practical
engineer who delights in the locomotive
engine He learned the art of driving
when he was quite young by going
whenever lie could with the drivers Of
the coal trains on his own estates.
1t is well known that one Of the
young King of Spain's chief diversions
before his marriage was to ride on the
footplate of the royal train with the
driver and take lessons in engine driv-
ing. He has become quite expert and
fearless. apd he has frequently driven

A Funny Picture.

Secretary Wilson of the department Of
agriculture concluded in Washington
recent address on agricultural economy
with al anecdote.
II used to know q clergyman" he
said, who owned a fine farm. and ran
it on very economical lines, so that it
paid splendidly.
Sometimes, though, / am afraid this
good clergyman carried his economies
point or two too far.
Thus. as he was taking his usual
daily stroll over his rich broad acres one
morning. he saw a plowman. while the
horses rested, sitting on the handle of
his pow. 1t occurred to the minister
that he paid this rlowman 10 cents an
hour, besides board, and he stopped and
said. gently, but responsibility:
James, wouldn't it be good plan
for you to have a pair of pruning shears
here. and be cutting few bushes along
the fence while the horses are taking
their short restY
James returned the minister's serious
gaze, and in the same gentle yet re-
proachful voice he answered:
Look here, sir, wouldn't it be a good
plan for you to have a tub of potatoes
in the pulpit, and while they're singing
the hymns TO peel 'em for the pot?' -
