' CAPTURING THE WILD DUCK
Clever Scheme of the Chinese Is Suc
cessful Among the Wary
Water Fowl.
A full-grown wild duck 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
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 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 be 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 take 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
get to regard them as pan 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, upon his head, he
wades through the lake, taking care to
keep the whole of his body well be

The cook had struck. The coach

great man heard a confused murmur
outside. It become louder, increasing
to a horrible din like unto that pro
duced by the Roman mob He heard
his name shouted above the awful roar,
and, urged by his wife, he at last r
ventured to a window
“People,” he cried, “why have you
struck? What do you want? I have
tried to deal fairly with you. What is
your grievance?”
The coachman, who was acting a*
leader of the crowrd, stepped forward,
saying:
“We were ordered out by the head
of the Teamsters’ union”
“What has the Teamsters' union
to do with me or the way my house
is run?"
“You have a statue of Apollo ia your

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
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 her on landing was the fact
that the coolies who tumbled lazily
aboard her ship were “very much addict
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 our
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
tail 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
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
ihe 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.
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 aaid 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
ing and card playing. They are athletic
and strong. Their bodies as well as
their minds are developed.
“They enter upon the duties of motlk
erhbod with a unique courage and wis
dom and strength, and the result is that
their babies are the biggest, strongest,
handsomest little creatures—”
She pointed toward the 300 photo
graphs.
“But just look at those pictures,” she
cried “Just look at them.”
Cento Books.
“This voiume." said the bibliophile,
“is a cento. It is composed of de
tached sentences taken from the worse
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,’
J made entirely of lines from .Homer. '
\ There is a similar life composed by
! Ross, that consists wholly of detached !
j lines from Virgil. Centos are often |
very valuable. One compiled by Alex- !
ander Hamilton from Milton's Para- !
dise Lost* sold not long since for $500 :

Teamsters’ union.”
“This is preposterous. What has
tty statue of Apollo to do with you
or your duties? And where doss the
Teamsters’ union come in?’’
“It seems,” the ooachman replied
"that Apollo and Phoebus were the
same party, and it’s reported on good
authority that Phoebus used to be a „
non-union driver. We’ve got our or
ders. We can't work for a man who (
sets up a statue of Phoebus, the scab,

MAN WHO WASHES CLOCKS
One of a Pew Engaged in This Sin
gular Business in United
States.
"I’ve been washing tne laces of Uia
city clocks nigh on to tan years, l (
guess,” said a pleasant Scotch-Irish
American, according to the New York
Post, “and before that I did it in the
old country. There aren’t many face
washers in this land.and the few who
know the business do well at it.” Ho
looked prosperous in his tweed suit
and derby hat.
“Is your work anything like that of
the steeple-climber?" he was asked.
“Bless you, no,” he replied, with
twinkling eyes, much amused. “Only
in one thing, and that is that mostly
sailors take up with the trade. That’s
because we’re good climbers, you know.
I’ve washed the faces of city and
church clocks that were 180 feet from
the ground, and it took me two and
three weeks to do it. I’m a practical
clock repairer, too—have to be, you
know—and do my work in a huge
wooden cradle made for the purpose, j
Some clocks get their faces dirty in
a year or so; others remain clean ten
years, and so on. Old Ben, West
minster’s great clock, is expected to
keep clean 16 years.
“In the old days the trade was more
dangerous. We used to work from
scaffolds and got many dangerous falls
Now we have the cradles, and all the
fixings and comforts, and if a man
keeps his head he can work as well
as on the curb. How U the pay? Well,
that’s hard to figure, for we work by
the Job. We don’t clean clock faces
in winter, so we make enough in the
summer to last the year around. Of
course, sometimes the clocks are taken
out of their cases and repaired iu the
shops, Last year I cleaned 2,000, and
visited only two other cities. Chicago
and Boston. This year I’ll make more ■
because the building operations have
grimed the clocks and given our trade
an increased demand.”
Gases Penetrate Glass
With liquid air performing feats and
doing jobs for the scientific and in
duatrial worlds, gaseous glass is per
haps not amazing. Glass, the renown
ed experimentalist, M. Berthelot, has
proved permeable to gases at nigh
temperature. At temperatures below
Its melting point glass has been as
sumed Impenetrable by oxygen, nitro- i
gen and carbon monoxide and dioxide,
but between 590 and 800 Centigrade
glass tubing has shown itself permea
ble. This passage of gases through
slightly softened glass is compared to
the gaseous exchanges taking place at
the ordinary temperatures through the
walls of India rubber tubing and the
importance is emphasized of this prop
erty of glass hitherto unsuspected in
many chemical and physical investiga
tions at high temperature.
The Freezerator.
Aunt Jane is an old Virginia prod
uct of half a century ago with all
the manners and mannerisms of the
aristocracy of that period, but her vo
cabulary is, to say the least, somewhat
original.
“Where did you put the butter?” asked
Jane's mistress, as the former was clear
ing off the supper table
“Done put hit in de freezerator. miss
us.” was the answer.—Baltimore Sun.
Better Mariners, Anyway.
“While it is true,” said the mission
ary, “that my dusky parishioners still .
refuse to abandon cannibalism, I may
at least claim credit for having so re- ,
fined and uplifted them that they now
aal altogether with knives and forks.''
