BARBARIC PUEBLO SPORT
CONTEST IN WHICH INDIANS AND
HORSES ARE OFTEN KILLED.
Tlie Cruel Pastime i Called a Cl!eken
Kare- Dnrlng tlie Game the Partly
Buried Fowl i Torn to Shreds by the
Mounted Contestants Brutal Play.
Whenever lh6 Pueblo Indians wish
to celebrate a day, writes a Socorro
(New Mexico) correspondent of the
New York World, they arrange for
various religious observances, athletiq
contests and dances, always ending
the day with a chicken race. Such a
celebration occurred last week at the
settlement of San Juan. This event,
which was witnessed by, perhaps,
2000 Americans and Mexicans, many
of whom had traveled several miles in
order to be present, combines cruelty
and barbarity in a degree satisfying to
the most bloodthirsty and an element
of danger that makes it particularly
attractive to the mind of an Indian.
When all was ready a live rooster
was buried in the ground. The head
and a few inches of the neck of the
fowl were left protruding from the
ground, which covered the body and
effectually prevented the poor thing
from moving. More than 100 Indians
who were to take part in the race were
seated 011 their horses about 100 yards
away. When all was in readiness the
word was given, and with a rush that
raised a cloud of dust the brtftes dashed
toward the imprisoned rooster.
As they urged their ponies forward
the ludiaus crowded close together in
an effort to be the first to reach the
chicken. Two ponies were thrown
and the rest of the riders rode over
them and their former riders. How
these two unfortunates escaped death
was a seeming miracle, but it chanced
that neither of them was seriously
hurt, and they soon mounted their
ponies again and took part in the chase.
The first Indian to reach the chicken
leaned far over the side of his pony
and tried to grasp the chicken's head.
He missed it, and a brave further be
hind dashed up, leaned over and
Jerked the fluttering body from the
ground. Away he dashed with his
trophy high in air. Hardly had he
gone a dozen rods, whirling the fowl
at>ove his head, when a comrade
seized one of the chicken's legs aud
gave it a tremendous jerk. The first
Indian held on tightly and the neck of
the chicken was torn in two, and with
a fierce yell the Indian who had se
cured the chicken urged his horse
forward aud became the pursued.
He went perhaps a quarter of a mile
before he was surrounded. Another
comrade grabbed the other leg of the
dead fowl. Then the carcass was torn
in two, both men being splattered with
the blood of their victim. Occasion
ally a pony would fall, and sometimes
two or three would come together in a
collision, the shock of which would
throw both riders to the ground.
The wild race lasted for nearly an
hour, during which time two men suf
fered broken arms and another had
his thigh bone broken. The others
paid 110 attention to the wounded men,
but continued the awful sport, leaving
the squaws aud braves who had not
taken part in the race to care for
them. The race did not end until the
chicken had been torn into shreds.
Three horses died from exhaustion,
having been urged on by their riders
as long as they could move. During
the race the Indians seemed to be the
victims of a sort of mania. They
howled fiercely all the time and seemed
to glory in smearing the blood of the
•> fowl 011 their bodies.
The chicken races occur periodi
cally among the various tribes of Pue
blo Indians that live in New Mexico
and Arizona. Occasionally one or two
Indians are killed outright or so bad
ly injured that they die, but these
fatalities do not seem to make the
ghastly sport any less popular.
An Kxtraordlnury Homicide.
An extraordinary case of what is be
lieved to be involuntary homicide has
just taken place near Aix-de-Chapelle,
France, on the estate of the Duke of
Arenberg. During the course of a
shooting party a young Belgian noble
man of the name of Count Edouard de
Breig, was killed by what seemed to
be an accidental discharge of the gun
of ono of the game keepers. The pe
culiar feature about the affair is that
this very same game-keeper just twelve
months ago accidentally shot and killed
during a shooting party another guest
of the duke, a rich manufacturer of
the name of Blankenhorn, and almost
on the very same spot where he laid
low the young count. The game
keeper was condemned to three months
imprisonment for criminal carelessness
in killing the manufacturer, but
showed so much sorrow and distress
when released from jail that the duke
took him back into his service, with
the results that are now apparent.
Artificial Kar. Works of Art.
The making of artificial ears has
well nigh renched perfection. They
are made of specially prepared rubber
that can be crumpled without injury
and are carefully painted to resemble
the natural orgau. When one car is
gone the manufacturer makes a model
of the other ear, and from that model
constructs the artificial member. Then
it is as carefully touched up as a fine
oil painting. When completed it costs
from SIOO to $125. —New York World.
'A New Diving Apparatus.
If the new diving apparatus to be
used by the wrecking company, which
has taken in hand to recover the val
uables from the wreck of the Pewabic,
near Alpena, Mich., be a success, a
trial will be made to get at the $500,-
000 in gold which went down with the
ill-fated Elbe. The wreck of the
Elbe lies at a depth of 250 feet, a depth
at which diving bells heretofore con
structed have been altogether useless.
A KINC FOR THREE MONTHS.
The Luck of a Sea Captain Wrecked Near
the Caroline Inlands.
Captain Curtis of the wheat ship
Eurydice was in the city to-day, hav
ing returned with his vessel to the
West Seattle elevator. He has had an
experience within the past twelve
months that might make many a skip
per envious, having ruled as king of
a group of islands in the South Pa
cific Ocean. Captain Curtis was the
first officer of the ship Flora E. Staf
ford, which was lost at sea about a
year ago.
"When the Stafford was given up,"
said Captain Curtis this morning, "we
lowered the boats and left her at sea.
I had six men with mo in one boat,
and the Captain went in another boat.
My boat headed for the Caroline Isl
ands, and after fifteen days we came
in sight of land. Wo were royally
welcomed by the natives, who could
not do enough to honor us. Ikickikee,
King of the Carolines, insisted that he
should abdicate bis throne and make
me his successor. I did not assume
the royal garments and robes, for
etiquette down there requires none of
them, but I took the sceptre and ruled
over those islands for three months.
I wooed and won the ex-King's daugh
ter, and I also gave out orders against
cannibalism, for I thought some of
the Stafford's crew might drift ashore.
My orders were strictly obeyed, for I
was an absolute monarch. They al
lowed me little time to sleep. Every
night I was compelled to start the.
lioolah-hoolah dances with the women,
and every day and night some dele
gations of natives from other islands
in the group would call upon mo to
arbitrate in some murder case. Those
fellows were always killing each other.
I would get in their canoes and go
with them. I would hear the testi
mony and decide who was guilty. My
decision was final, and the guilty man
would be shot.
"After remaining on the islands
three months I took passage on the
first steamer that passed. I was
lauded at Manila in th§ Philippines,
and reached there in time to see the
execution of four insurgents. They
were learned native doctors. They
were led out to a public park and shot
by half a regiment of soldiers. They
fell to the earth pierced by a score of
ballets. There was fighting on the
island all the time. No one was al
lowed in the streets after 9 o'clock at
night. The Captain of the Stafford
had landed safely at Manila eight days
after the wreck."
After leaving Manila Captain Cur
tis succeeded in reaching Hong Kong,
where he was at once placed in com
mand of the Eurydice. He did not
tell his experience until reaching the
sound.—Seattle (Wash.) Times.
The Megaphone.
Reports of the rowing contests usu
ally refer to the megaphone, through
which the various coaches now com
municate with tlie crews. This simple
instrument is found to bo so valuable
as a means of communication that it is
now looked upon as a part of the nec
essary paraphernalia in a rowing con
test. The megaphone is simply a large
cone from thirty to forty-eight inches
long, made of waterproof fibre or light
metal. The voice of a person (peak
ing into the small end is carried easily
a distauce of a mile, while a loud call,
when neither wind nor obstructions in
terfere, may be heard on the water, in
open country or along the shore a dis
tance of two miles. The instrument is
often used as a receiver also. The
small end is placed at the ear, and
sounds from a distance which would
otherwise be inaudible can bo heard
distinctly. The instrument is usually
held in the hands of the person who
uses it, like a speaking trumpet, but
it is constructed so that it can be fixed
to a tripod on a swivel, and the person
using it may remain seated and direct
it to any point. By means of the
megaphone the audiences at nearly all
open-air athletic meetings are informed
as to the winners, and at these places,
as well as in the rowing world, it has
become an invaluable instrument.—

Moonlight Turtle-Back ICide.
Communication between Mayport,
Fin., and St. Augustine, which are
forty miles apart, is most convenient
by means of the bicycle, the distance
being covered by wheelmen in less
than three hours byway of Pablo
Beach, whereas a much longer time is
required to go up the St. John's River
to Jacksonville, and thence by rail to
St. Augustine. George Brown of the
Engineer Corps, stationed at Mayport,
was accompanied on his homeward trip
from St. Augustine the other night by
Frederic Allen, and both cyclists, just
before reaching Pablo Beach, had the
novel experience of a moonlight turtle
back ride down the beach into the
breakers. They had come unexpect
edly upon a sea turtle depositing her
eggs in the sand and seized the op
portunity for a ride. Allen took home
154 eggs found in the nest.—New York
Sun.
Slang Postponed a Wedding.
A current bit of popular English
slang is the expression, "We shan't be
long now," writes the London corre
spondent of the Philadelphia Tele
graph, and, as slang expressions are
apt to do, it runneth riot in the
mouths of the flippantly inclined. The
other day a Cockney bridegroom and
his blushing sweetheart were being
wedded in church, ' and had just
reached the point where the ring is
produced, when Harry said in a loud
tone, which made many laugh, "Well,
we Bhan't be long now." "Intliatyou
are quite mistaken, as far as I am con
cerned, " instantly remarked the clergy
man; "for it will be at least a week
before I will perform this ceremony,
and not then unless you have learned
to behave yourself." And the mar
riage was perforce postponed for seven
days.
Mildew on Gooseberry Bushes.
Your trouble in having mildew come
on your gooseberry vines soon after
they begin to bear is, we think, in
separable from our American climate,
wbicli is much too warm for this fruit.
English gooseberries invariably mil
dew here, though free from mildew in
the moist, cool summers in England.
It is an old saying that the gooseberry
and the grape vine never succeed in
the same localities. If it is cool enough
in summer for the gooseberry the
grape will not ripen. There have been
several kinds of American gooseberries
that were proclaimed as mildew proof.
But after two or three years of bear
ing mildew usually appears. It may
be that lack of mineral plant food, and
especially of potash, is the inciting
cause of mildew. Tlie gooseberry is
a very prolific bearer and uses up pot
ash rapidly. If it is in moist, cool
ground all tko potash the soil contains
is available. If the soil be thy and
warm what potash the soil may have is
locked up and the leaves cannot get
the nutrition they require to keep up
healthful growth. Gooseberry bushes
should be heavily mulched during tho
summer. That will keep the soil moist
and cool. It will bo well also to put
some wood ashes under the mulch so
ns to hold tho moisture, and also to bo
dissolved by it for the plant roots. It
is worth while also to spray with Bor
deaux mixture or some other fungi
cide.—Boston Cultivator.
* v ..... Swarms.
Swarming is a great annoyance when
we don't want it, and with a little
manipulation we can prevent it. Bees
will not swarm except queen cells aro
present. At any rate it would be a
very rare exception; indeed, so rare
that we need not provide for it.
Plenty of storage room is n good
preventive, audit is the first thing to
use. Secondly, tho removal of queen
cells. If bees have the swarming fever
.they will construct queen cells every
eight days; that is, they will be
gin queen cells, and at the end of
eight days they are due to swarm so
that it is necessary to go through the
hives once every eight days and re
move the cells.
If we wish them to swarm once, but
no more; then, after the first Rwai-m
issues, take out all queen cells but
one.
If von wish to prevent tho loss of
swarms, or in other words prevent
swarming or increases, it may be dono
by clipping tlie wings of the queen, al
though you stand a chance of losing
the queen. Clipped queens will issue
from the hive with tlie swarm, but as
she cannot take wing, the swarm re
turns to the hives. In, perhaps, most
cases, the queen will find lier way
back, but in many cases she does not,
and of course is lost.
Old queens are more liable to pro
duce swarming than young ones, and
at the same time are not near so pro
lific, hence it never pays so well to re
tain old queens.—Farm, Field and
Fireside.
All About the Horse Bean.
The horse bean, n leguminous plant,
is grown quite extensively in England
ami on tho continent. Tho bean, when
green, is used iu those countries for
human food, being prepared in much
the same way as tlie green pea in this
country. It is said to be quite pal
atable and very nutritious. When
mature the bean is ground, and fed
very extensively to all farm animals.
It has been thoroughly tried by
many of the experiment stations in
our Northern States and in Canada.
It develops normally till it begins to
blossom, when the blossom is attacked
by a small fly which very seriously in
terferes with the formation of the seed.
The plant will grow from two to throe
foot high, and serves exceedingly well
for green manuring, but cannot bo
recommended for soed production. On
aocount of the insect pest it should bo
turned under when in blossom. It
is very succulent and decomposes
rapidly in the soil. Horse beans
should be sown in drills eighteen
inches apart, and manured with pot
ash aud phosphoric acid, but very
sparingly with nitrogen.
The white lupino is also a valuable
plant for green manuring. It shonlfl
be treated in the same way as the
bean, with the exception, not being
troubled by the fly, it can be allowed
to develop as far as late blossoming
before being plowed under.
The horse bean can also be used as
a nitrogenous greon feed, bnt the soy
bean, a medium green variety, being
more leafy, is to bo preferred. The
cowpea is also a very valnable nitro
genous crop, and would probably suc
ceed better in the Southren States,
either for green feed or for manuring,
than any of the other c?-ops above
mentioned.—New England Home
stead.
Tho Wrong Fellow.
One moruing this spring when
Farmer M— went out to feed his
poultry, he found one of his best hens
lying dead in front of her henroost
door and he knew she had come to
her death tragically because she was
headless.
In great indignation he set a stedl
trap that night, and the next morning
he found a great owl trying his best to
free his foot from the vise-like clinch
of the trap.
•'Ah, ha! my rascal, i've got you,"
he cried, and would have dispatched
him then and there, but the bird was
such a monster that the farmer deter
mined to keep him on exhibition for a
few days that his neighbors might be
hold the curiosity aud know what a
famous trapper he himself was, so he
released the poor foot and placed the
"varmint," as he called it, in a slatted
box.
Now this owl was almost as large as
an eagle, and seemed very old, since
he had a row of feathers under his
chin reaching from ear to ear, which
he could ruffle up or lower at his pleas
ure, giving him the appearance some
what of au old man with whiskers.
Many were the visitors that looked at
him aud poked him with sticks through
the slatted box, so enraging him that
every feather stood on end, and he
cracked his enormous bill as though
he were gritting his teeth.
But what to feed him with? "Why,
chicken, of course," said the farmer's
wife, and a dead chicken was thrown
into the box. The owl never touched
it, though it lay by his side night and'
day. Then somebody suggested "rats
and mice," and a neighbor brought
over a deat rat, which tho owl dis
patched with great relish.
In another night or two another hen
was found dead like the first. Was
there another owl in the vicinity?
and the farmer decided to sit up
through the night with a loaded gun.
It was a long, tedious wait, but in
the small hours of the morning there
was a stir among the poultry, and a
long, sjim-bodied weasej ran out of tlj.e
roost, dragging a hen by Tier head* in
such away that she could make no
noise. In an instant the farmer pulled
the trigger of his gun, and both hen
and weasel lay on the ground dead.
The weasel and the hen were both
placed in the owl's box, and while he
paid no heed to the hen, he pounced
upon the weasel with evident delight,
pecking him fiercely on the head be
fore dispatching him.
Then a light broke in upon the
farmer, and lie said, addressing him
self to the owl, "My poor fellow, I
have wronged you, for you were my
friend all the time, aud I never knew
it. It was you who saw that misera
ble weasel prowling arouifd when all
the rest of us were asleep, and trying
to catch it you got caught yourself.
My feathered friend, I beg your par
don. To-morrow } r ou shall have your
liberty," and the farmer kept his
word.
The owl seemed 'a very patriarch
iu size and strength, and was what is
known as the Groat Horned Owl (Bubo
Virginiauus), tho most remarkable in
North America, and almost as largo
as the golden eagle. He was supposed
to have been about fifty years old.
Farmer M is not the only one
who has found out that owls aro
friends to mau and not foes, for tlie
rats and mice tliey destroy every year
around a farmer's barn and granaries
are of inestimable advantage to him.

Caps on the Track.
A paper cap, such as the very small
boy delights to shoot iu a toy pistol,
is an inoffensive looking thing. But
tliero is strength in uuion where small
things are concerned as well as when
tlio adage is applied to greater powers.
Several young men of au experimental
turn of mind procured a number of
boxes of the paper caps yesterday
afternoon and placed tlieni at intervals
of about ten feet apart on tlie car
track on Green street, between Broad
and Thirteenth. No sooner had they
been placed in position than a car
rounded the curve 011 Broad street and
struck tho first box. Tho effect was
startling. There was a report like that
of a heavily-charged shotgun, aud the
passengers all sprang to their feet.
One after another in rapid succession
tlio remaining boxes exploded as tlie
wheels passed over them, Rounding al
most like a volley of artillery. At
Thirteenth street u nervous old ladv
alighted from tlie ear, remarking that
she thought she would walk the rest
of tho way.—Philadelphia Record.
A Mammoth Alligator.
A. Burklialter, of Willacoocliee,
while fishing in the Alapatha River,
about tlireo miles from town, one day
this week, heard a terrible commot ion
in tho water just below where he was
fishing and upon investigation found
that a monster ulligntor had caught
and was drowning a cow. Mr. Burk
halter was unarmed at the time, but
returned yesterday in company with
M. Corbett, armed with a Winchester
rifle, and they had 110 trouble in kill
ing the alligator, which measured 12
feet 3 inches in length and weighed
300 or 400 pounds—Douglas (,Ga.)

Mourning Blryrle.
Tho "mourning bicycle" is the lat

nickel or color. A fashionable widow
recently appeared on one of these ma
chines wearing a black sailor hat with
a black crape band instead of aribbon,
and a large black rosette in front. Her
black tailor-made suit was relieved
only by the shirt front, which was
striped black, as also was her high

PRINCESS VICTORIA.
The Simple Life of Kncland's Qnecn in
Her Childhood Days.
.Tames Cassldy has written for Rt.
Nicholas an arlicle on the "Girlhood
Days of England's Queen/' in the
c ourse of which he says:
There was an occupation in which the
wee woman of seven years, wearing a
simple white gown and large straw
hat. was frequently seen engaged. It
was watering the garden plants. One
of those who saw her said that as he
s>**etinies watched her intently at
work, he wondered which would get
the most water, the plaats or her own
little feet!
The Princess was an early riser, get
ring v.p at seven, frequently earlier in
the summer, and breakfasting at eight
o'clock. Her breakfast was just such
as any well-cared-for little girl, who
was not a Princess, might be expected
to enjoy; bread and-milk and fruit,
placed on a small tabic by her mother's
side
l\ lien br?akfnst was finished the llt
tlc Princess went for a walk or a drive,
while her half-sister. Feodore, her al
most constant companion, studied with
her governess. From ton to twelve the
Duchess Instructed 'Dina, after which
she was at liberty to wander at will
through the rooms, or to play with her
umny costly toys.
Tv.o o'clock was the dinner-hour of
the Princess, though the luncheon-hour
of tlio Duchess. Plain food, nicely
cooked, was placed before the little
girl; and she did it justice, for she was
healthy and strong, and enjoyed her
meals. A f ter dinner she received as
sistance in her studies till four o'clock,
when she was taken by her mother to
visit a friend, or perhaps to walk or
drive or she was permitted to ride a
donkey In the gardens.
At the dinner-hour of the Duchess
her little girl supped, seated next to
her mother. Then came a romp with
her nurse, Mrs Brock. By the time
the romp was finished the house-party
would be at their dessert, and then the
Princess would he called in to join
them.
Nine o'clock was bedtime, and she
never prolonged her day beyond that
hour. No matter whether she was at
home or at the house ol' a friend, "nine
o'clock bedtime was rigidly enforced."
Her little bed was placed beside her
mother's larger bed. so that by day and
night mother and daughter were never
far apart.
Regular study, regular exercise,
simple food, and plenty of time out of
doors, plenty of play and plenty of
sleep, distinguished the up-bringing of
England's future Queen.

Washing a Fine Art,
Ever since spinning was a type of woman
ly industry, from ago to ago it has been
expected that beautiful apparel should
clothe women. To keep dainty belongings
in good order it is necessary to have thein
pronerlv laundered. This is especially true
In the laundering of pretty summer gowns,
which is now quite a line art. To do the
work properly, fill a tub two-thirds full of
warm water, dissolve the fourth of a eakfc
of Ivory Soap (which will not fade the most
delicate colors), add it to the water; wash
the articles through it, rinse first in clear
and then in blue water; wring, dip in thin
starch, shake out and hang on the line in
tho shade. When dry, sprinkle and iron.
Gowns thus laundered will retaia their
freshness the entire season.
Very few people have an idea of tho dif
ferent kinds of merchandise an ocean steam
ship carries from the United States to foreign
