CAPTURING THE WILD DUCA
—
! Clever Scheme of the Chinese Is Suc
cessful Among the Wary
Water Fowl.
A full-grown wild duck Is one of the
moat wary of all wild creatures. A wa
terman may be working all day long
with shovel and pickax, says the author
of “Bird Life and Lore,” barely a stone’s
throw from a large flock of widgeon and
wild ducks, and they will not notice him,
for they know that hj means them nd
harm. But let a sportsman enter the
meadows and hide his gun ever so care
fully, and make himself ever so small.
It is ten to one that they will rise In a
cloud when he is some four gunshota
away from them, and take themsalTfl*
off to a place of greater safety.
There is one method of taking wild
ducks In considerable numbers, prac
ticed in China and lu MOM Other coun
tries, which is so aoMBtuff aud ao little
known as to deserve notice.
The natives take care that S large
number of big calabashes, or gourds,
should always be left floating on the wa
ter frequented by the birds, till they
get to regard them as part and parcel
of their resorts. The duck-hunter
chooses his time, and, putting one of the
calabashes, with holes cut for his
mouth and eyes, uj>on his head, he
wades through the lake, taking care to
keep the whole of his body well be
neath the surface. He cautiously ap
proaches the unsuspecting wild fowl,
and, catching one of them by the leg,
pulls him, with a sudden jerk, beneath
the water, causing hardly more commo
uun oi me suriace man tne auca useix
often makes when it dives, or plashes,
er plunges for Its food. He wrings Its
neck under the water and fastens It to
his belt. Then he deals with another
and another in the same fashion, till he
makes his retreat, equally unnoticed,
with a whole girdleful of captured wild
ducks round his waist
SOFT-EYED MEN OF PACIFIC
_ I
Looehoo Islanders Who Possess Most
Winning and Remark
able Optics.
A woman traveler who lately visited
the Looehoo islands, in the Pacific, de
scribes her first impressions in the
North China Herald. The first thigg J
that struck her on landing was the fact
that the coolies who tumbled lazily 1
aboard her ship were “very much addict- 1
ed to the use of hats, and very little to '
the use of any other clothing.” She !
continues: “I can best describe the
hats by an exclamation of one of oui
party, 'What beautiful waste paper
baskets they’d make!’ These hats were
fastened on with loops of thick, brown,
hairy palm rope, through which were
passed cotton strings tied under the
chin. Every man’s face was ornament
ed with a thin, brownish black beard
and mustache, and it was often hard to
tell where the beard left off and the
hairy rope began. Wisps of unkempt
hair also straggled about the neck, giv
ing to the man the look of some savage
rreature. Taking in these details, my
eyes came at last to the eyes of these
seemingly wild savages, and lof I
looked into large, soft, black eyes, so
wide apart, like those of the ruminating 1
animals. And In their depths lurired a !
good-natured smile, just waiting to an
swer one from me. I never got used to
the incongruous effect of those gentle
eyes and that fierce beard on each
other.”
COLLEGE GIRL AS MOTHER
_
Collection of Baby Pictures Shows
Conclusive Evidence of
Fitness.
I
—
An instructor at Vassar college has Ml
odd and interesting collection of photo
graphs—the photographs of the babies
of young women who are college gradu
ates. says an exchange, are strong and
beautiful. They number.over 300. Th$
instructor said of them:
“I began to collect pictures of the
children of female A. B.’s and A. M.’s
because I had heard so much talk about
t.he higher education unfitting woman
for her natural sphere, and so on.
“My collection proves that the high
er education makes mothers of an ex
cellece hitherto unknown. Highly edu
cated women don’t weaken themselves
with tight corsets, with overmuch danc
ing and card playing. They are athletic
and strong. Their bodies as well aa
their minds are developed.
“They enter upon the duties of motbr
erhood with a unique courage and wis
dom and strength, and the result is that
their babies are the biggest, strongest,
handsomest little creatures—”
She ported toward the 300 photo
graphs. -■.£» -v..-.
: “But jiisft look at those pictures," aha
crlsd. “Just look at them.”
■ I Cento Books.
“This volume,” said, the bibliophile,
“is a celhto. It is composed of de
tached sentences taken from the wonts
of Thackery. It makes a novel, sen
sible, but short, and it was composed
in seven years by a bed-ridden baron-'
ess. THe'best known cento is probably
. the Empress Eudozie’s ‘Life of Chriat,’ j
made entirely of lines from Homer. !
There is a similar life composed by
Ross, that consists wholly of detached !
,ines from Virgil. Centos are often
very valuable. One compiled by Alex
ander Hamilton from Milton’s ‘Para
ise Lost’ sold not long since for J600.
The book was a history of America.”
Placing the Blame.

lately and before they git their cows

If you wish to make a fountain pen,
take two ordinary steel pens of the

common holder. The Inner pen will be
the writing pen. Between this and the
outer pen will be held a supply of ink,
when they are once dipped into the ink
stand, that will last to write several
pages of manuscript. It is not neces
sary that the points of the two pens
should be very near together, but if
the flow of ink is not rapid enough
the points may be brought nearer by a
bit of thread or a minute rubber band.
HABITS OF SPEECH.
Faulty Langnage L’acd la Child*
hood Ia Hard to Correct la
After Life.
“Why do educated parents allow
their children to contract habits of un
grammatical speech that will have to be
conquered in after-life?” asked a spin
ster of a mother.
“Because they hate to worry the poor
little things about such matters when
they are young and should be care free.
It seems cruel to be all the time cor
recting them and keeping them on their
good behavior. They will have to learn
the rules of our dreadful language all
too soon as it is.”
“Yes,” said the spinster, “and in ad
dition to learning to speak properly
they will have to unlearn the tricks of
speech in which they have been allowed
ta indulge all their little lives. I know,”
laughing, “that there is much ridicule
of ‘old maids’ children,' but I believe
that rnv theory in this case is correct.
Tt is a positive unkindness to let your
child double his negatives and say
‘ain’t,’ when several years from now he
will be harshly reproved for such
lapses. The child must learn to talk,
anyway, and is it not as easy to teach
him to say Tt is I,’ as ‘It’s me?’ And is
it not as simple for the little tongue to
lisp ‘I saw it,’ as ‘I seen it?’ I love baby
talk, and should not correct a child for
his mispronunciation of hard words.
Ak he grows older he will himself se*
his mistakes in that line and change
them. But I insist that it is a parent’s
duty to make the difficult path to gram
matical speech as easy as possible by
never allowing the little ones to stray
from it in the beginning.”—Harper’*
Bazar.
Some Mexican Laws.
A Topeka man who recently toured
Mexico tells that they have some very
_!__:_:_l l___ai__ TA_
example, the statutes make It ttWce as
much of an offense to mutilate the face
of a woman as that of a man. While in
the City of Mexico he attended court
one day and saw a man sentenced to
one year in prison for cutting his para
mour across the face with a knife, ft
his victim had been a man the sentence
would not have been more than four
nftmths at the outside. The law seems
to be based on the idea that a woman’s
best possession is her beauty, and that
to mar it does her a great injury. There
is another curious law. If a person'
should be wounded in an encounter the
punishment to the offender is fixed "by
the nuihber of'days his victim has to'
stay,'-in. the hospital or under a doctor'*
care. A line is fixed at 40 days in th«
way of a general division. If the'in
jured man occupies more than 40 days
In his-recovery the penalty doubles up.
As we understand the Topeka man
these are not court customs, but statu
tory enactments.—Kansas City Jour
