"MANLY ART" IN FRANCE,
Sport of Boxing Just Now Something
of a Craxe.
Boxing has become outte the rage
In Paris: the old savate, with its ef
fective high kicking, has been dis
carded for tbe "noble art" of Britain.
But our lively neighbor 'hj Gaul has
always had a sneaking affection for a
manly bout of fisticuffs a l'Anglals.
When Owen Swift, the Ismous cham
pion of theelightwelgli .,, took refuge
In Paris after killing Lis opponent,
Brighton Bill, In a prize fight, he was
patronised by all the members of the
French Jockey club. A tier a fierce
battle at Charenton with Jack Adams,
another pugilist of renown. Swift was
arrested and brought before the Pari!
tribunal of correctional police on a
charge of "having inflicted wounds oc
casioning an Incapacity to labor for
less than 20 days." OweV's description
In bis evidence, of the course of
training which he had to go through
bad an amusing effect upon the young
sporting swells of Paris For months
afterward these yo nig exquisites
might be seen going at their best
pace along the streets and boulevards,

If fish is the greatest brain food,
as scientists have said, then Boston
Is in a fair way to outstrip tbe rest of
the country hi brain development with
out half trying. In a recent two days
there were brought to T wharf
the greatest flsh mart or the coun
try more than two million pounds of
flsh. Including large and small cod.
haddock, hake, pollock, halibut and
various other species 'iof the deep.
This enormous catch has been brought
by 100 schooners, round numbers, 65
of which arrived on one day and the
remainder the day following.
Granting that the fleet of 100 schoon
ers average 20 men to the vessel
(which probably Is a high estimate).
and the average sum coming to each
fisherman, outside or the captain, is
about 120, representing from five days
to between two and hree weeks at
sea. Of course, the rums vary, accord
ing to the vessel-, the catch and tbe
time spent at "sea. Some schooner
brought in as high as 75.000 pounds
and some little more than 5.000; some
had five men In the crew and some 25;
some caught plenty of large cod and
some very few. Boston Transcript.
A Word to the Wise.
A corporation conducting a series
of quick lunch places accords con
spicuous position to a placard reading
as follows:
"A Suggestion Perhaps a large
nuhiber of our patrons who daily fav
or us with their money, instead of
taking luncheon at 12 o'clock could
just as couveniently come at 12:45
p. in., and thus find more comfortable
seats; or they might arrange to fix
1:30 aB lunch time, and thereby be
afforded still more elbow space."
Managers at several of the branches
situated in business sections are an

Charity's Biggest Achievement.
The highest achievement or char
ity is to love our enemies; but to
bear cheerfully with our neighbor's
fallings is scarcely an Inferior grace.
It is easy enough to lovo those who
are agreeable and obliging; but to
love one who Is cross, perverse,, tire
some. Is as unpleasant a process as
shewing pills. Nevertheless, this, the
best way of practising it, is to put our
selves In tbe place or him who tries
us, and to Bee how we would wish
him to trest us ir we had his defects.
We must put ourselves in the place of
buyer when we sell, and seller wben
we buy, if we want to deal fairly.
MR. RILEY DID NOT KNOW.
Woman Reporter Asked Question Hard
to Answer.
A friend of James Whltcomb Riley
tells a story of an encounter the bach
elor poet once had with a woman re
porter. Tbe energetic young woman
after strenuous effort had finally
caught Mr. Riley at tbe telephone.
This is the conversation that fol
lowed: "I this Mr. Riley?"
"Yes. That Is Miss?"
"Miss Jones, of the Courier-Journal.
I've been trying all day to get an in
terview with you, Mr. Riley."
'Ah, would it were a view Instead
of an Interview," said the poet, gal
lantly. 'Oh, thanks. How long will you
remain in Louisville, Mr. Riley?"
"Only a short time."
"Is your wife with you?"
"No, ma'am, she is not."
"Where Is she, may I ask?"
"You may ask, my dear Miss Jones,
but I find It very difficult to answer.
I am In absolute Ignorance of her
whereabouts. For aught I know :o the
contrary, she may right now be at the
other end of this telephone!"
There was much laughter, and after
ward an effort to resume the Inter
view. But in vain. Mr. Riley had es

Mr. Roll milled and resumed:
"My friend, Capt. Brsgge. bet an
athlete that he could m t hop up a cer
tain long flight of steps two at a time.
The athlete took the bet. and made
the trial. But there were 41 steps to
the flight, and therefore, after making
20 hops the man found that he had
lost. He paid rp. but accused CapL
Bragge of sharp practice.
.'"Sharp practice!' said Bragge, in
dignantly. Well. 1 11 make the same
bet with you that 1 can do it.' .
"The other, expert ibg to win his
money back, assented.
"Capt. Bragge then hepped up 40
steps in 20 hops sin), hopping back
one, finished In the prescribed manner
and won tbe bet."
