CAPTURING THE WILD DUCK
Clever Scheme of the Chinese Is Suc
cessful Among the Wary
Water Fowl.
A full-grown wild Suck Is one of the
most wary of all wild creatures. A wa
terman may be working all day long
with shovel and pickax, says the author j
\ of "Bird Life and Lore.” barely a stone’s j
| throw from a large flock of widgeon and
^ I wild ducks, and they will not notice him.
j for they know that he means them no
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 gunshots
away from them, and take themselves
off to a place of greater safety.
There is one method of taking wild
ducks in considerable numbers, prac
ticed in China and in some other coun
tries, which is so amusing and so little
known as to deserve notice.
The natives lake care that a large
number of big calabashes, or gourds,
should always be left floating on the wa
ter frequented by the birds, till they
t get to regard them as part and parcel
| of their resorts. The duck-hunter
chooses his time, and, putting one of tha
calabashes, with holes cut for his
mouth and eyes, upon his head, he
wades through the lake, taking care to
keep the whale of his body well be
neath the surface. He cautiously ap
proaches the unsuspecting wild fowl,
U11V1, VU V1J Vi lilVUl *.» J
pulls him, with a sudden jerk, beneath
the water, causing hardly more commo
tion of the surface than the duck itself
often makes when it dives, or plashes,
or 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
Loochoo Islanders Who Possess Most
Winning and Remark
able Optics.
A woman traveler who lately visited
the Loochoo islands, in the Pacific, de
scribes her first impressions in the
North China Herald. The first thing
that struck he? on landing was the fact
that the coolie^ who tumbled lazily
' aboard her ship were “very much addict
ed to the use of liats, and very little to
the use of any other clothing.” She
continues: “I can best describe the
hats by an exclamation of one of our
party, ‘What beautiful -waste paper
baskets they’d make!’ These hats were
fastened on with loops of thick, brown,
hairy palm rope, through wh'ich •were
passed cotton strings tied under the
chin. Every man’s face was ornament
ed with as thin, brownish black beard
and mustache, and it was often hard to
i tell where the beard left off and the
l hairy rope began. Wisps of unkempt
hair also straggled about the neck, giv
ing to the man ihe look of some savage
creature. Taking in these details, my
eyes came at last to the eyes of these
seemingly wild savages, and lo! I
looked into large, soft, black eyes, so
wide apart, like those of the ruminating
animals. And in their depths lurked 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
l other.”

Collection of Baby Pictures Shows
Conclusive Evidence of
Fitness.
An instructor at Vassar college has an
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. The
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
the higher education unfitting woman
for her natural sphere, and soon.
“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- j
ing and card playing. They are athletic
and strong. Their bodies as well as
their minds are developed. |
“They enter upon the duties of moth
erhood with a unique courage and wis- :
dom and strength, and the result is that
their babies are the biggest, strongest, ;

cried. “Just look at them.”
Cento Books.
"This volume,” said the bibliophile,
“is a cento. 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 Christ,’ ’
made entirely of lines from Homer.
There is a similar life composed by
Ross, that consists wholly of detached
: lines from Virgil. Centos are often
very valuable. One complied by Alex
ander Hamilton from Milton’s 'Para
dise Lost’ sold not long since for $500.
The book was a history of America.’’

MEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
’Musher” Will Be There the First
When a Gold Stampede
Is Started.
There is a popular belief in the ex
treme northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by a musher. and not
'■y any scientific polar expedition, says
he Sunset Magn.ie This belief is
asetl on the conviction that a gold
stampede y ill eventually be started
toward north latitude 90 <1 grees, and
hat the mush rs will rush in where
.1 retie explorers have feared to tread.
So completely unknown to fame is this
newcomer in the race for the pole that
to the majority of people the name sug
gests nothing but cereal breakfast food.
Gilbert Parker, the novelist,, who
finds his most congenial theme in
Freneh-Candian life, has made his read
ers familiar with “Marche-t’-en!” tha
cry with which drivers of dog teams
urge forward their panting animals.
Frencli-Canadian trappers were among
the earliest white men in the far north
west, and American prospectors on the
Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs
on with the same cry, without, however,
understanding the French, which, in
their mouths, was rapidly corrupted to
“Muchon!” to this day an Alaska dog
driver’s equivalent for “Gee up!”
Dog drivers generally rush with the
team and therefore from Mush-on has
comp the noun musher, used all over
Alaska and the Yukon territory to des
ignate a trailsman. The musher is gen
erally prospector, stampeder and trails
man all rolled into one, and Alaska trails
are such uncertain quantities that he
has frequently to make his own prece
dents over newly frozen sea and track
less snow. The musher achieves most
of his stampeding to new gold fields dur
ing the arctic winter, for then the rigid
sea becomes a highway and mighty
rivers need no bridging.
RAVAGES OF THE SOUVENIR
What Was Once a Harmless Fad Has
Become Almost a Univer
sal Mania.
-L
The vogue of the illustrated souvenir
posted card has assumed the dimensions
of a literary peril. What was once a
harmless fad confined to more or less ec
centric visitors in out-of-the-way places;
has become ail but a universal mania,
says the New York Post. The Boston
post office reports handling 25,000 of
these yellow imps in a single day. The
so-called comic valentine once tainted
the postman’s bag. Its influence, how
ever, lasted but for a day, while the sou
venir postal card ceaseth not day nor
night to cry for a destroyer.
From the point of view of growing
popularity these postal cards but evi
dence anew the danget with which
modern mechanism is continually en
compassing the other handicraft arts.
The printed book has driven out illus
trated missal. “The quarter-sawed oak”
of Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen
dale and Sheraton. And at last the illus
trated postal, with cheap ready-made
sentiment and chromo lithograph
threatens the letter of friendship, travel
and description. The residuary field of
the epistolary art was long supposed to
be safe from the inroads of the printing
press. Political intelligence such as
fills Horace Walpole’s six stout vol
umes of private letters has for over a
century been disseminated in the news
papers. Scientific news has long since
found .similar media of publicity. But
the intimate unbosoming of friend to
friend at a distance has held at bayy ail
the devices of modern machinery until
the advent of this substitute for a real
letter.
SPEAKING WITH EMPHASIS.
Calisthenics Accompany the Words
of Neapolitans When Dis
cussing Weather.
"Give a Neapolitan a pair of dumb
bells and ask him if he thinks It is like
ly to rain, and before his answer is
finished he will have taken enough
healthful exercise to last him all day.”
Oncfc, says the London Clarion, a trav
eler sat with a friend in a cafe at
Naples. Near them were two Italians
engaged in conversation. The younger
of the two seemed much excited.
With his hands he made reaching and
clinging motions, as if climbing. Then
he seetned to be groping for cherries in
the air, as he reached right and left
above his head. Next, without slacken
ing his conversation, he put the thumb
and forefinger of his left hand together,
and holding them before his eyes, went
through the careful movements of one
threading a small needle, and all the
time he talked.
Suddenly his manner changed. He
made overhand motions, as if throwing
something. Then he apparently imitated
a swimmer, and immediately afterward
described several circles with his left
hand, giving the impression of a rapid
ly revolving wheel.
Finally he leaned forward, and with
his right hand acted the part of a per
son endeavoring to put a key into a key
hole.
The traveler was overcome by curios
ity. He turned to his friend, who un
derstood Italian, and asked him what
the plot of the story was.
“Oh, nothing.’” replied the other.
“They’re chatting about the weather."
A Kindred Job.
“Met Scribblerus the other day; says
he is going to give up writing poetry
and go into the gas business.'’
“Not such a great change; he never
could manage to make his meter work
right.”—Baltimore American.
