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 ths
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 he is some four gunshots
away from them, and taka themselves
off to a place of greater safety.
There is one method of taking wild
ducks in considerable Mmbers, prac
ticed in China and la WU other coun
tries, which is so aaulaf and so little
known as to deservo aotlea
The natives take earo 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 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, upon his head, ho
wades through the lake, taking car# 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
tion of the surface than the duck itself
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
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 oui
party, ‘What beautiful waste paper
baskets they’d make! ‘ These hats were
fastened on with loops of thick, brown,
hairy padm 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
creature. Taking in these details, my
eyes came at last to the eyes of these
seemingly wild savages, and lot I
looked into large, soft, black eyea, so
wide apart, like those of the ruminating
animals. And in their depths lurxed 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
* -i .... --
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
necause l nan nearu so mucu ia;K auuui
the 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 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,
handsomest little creatures—’’
She pointed toward the 300 photo
graphs.
“But just look at those pictures,’’ sh«
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 wotks
of Thackery.' It makes a novel, sen
sible, but short, and It was composed
in seven years ofey a bed-ridden baron
ess. The best known cento is probably
rhe 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
ery valuable. One compiled by Alex
ander Hamilton from Milton’s Para
lise Lost’ sold not long since lor $500.'
The book was a history of America.”
Placing the Blame.
“But,” the young housekeeper pro
’ested, “the milk is sour.” >• j
“Yes’m." replied the honest milk
man; "it’s shameful how lazy them
farmers is gettin’. Ye see, ma’am,,
they’ve been oversleepin’ theirselves
lately and before they git their cows
milked the stuff turns.”—Philadelphia
THE LAKE UF SACRlHCt.

Wh.cb There la an Indian
Legend.
Lake Cataou-la. the l lake of
tha Indians, lies ensconced. aa it 9«r\
in the deep solitude of the forest
which skirts the AtttklfM prairie on
tha east aide of the T**-he at about
aloe miles from the town of At Mae
tlnvilte. The beauty of its • n ry
and Its picturesque Ian I scapes ba*e
probably no aqua! in the *ta « says
the New Orleans St atm Its wstwre
kava the transparency of errs a and
Its depth swages from 1W to Id
fast.
The word Ca-ta-ou-la means tha lake
of sacrifice The following legend, as
IramaMc and tragical as tha R bUcal
narrat.lv* of th* death of Jepbthah •
daughter, gives us the origin of that
name.
The Tettmetchec Indian*. being
threatened with dire calamity, tha na
ture of which we enow not. tholr
prayermen consulted their orai-i**, and
were Informed that to propitiate tha
great Manitoti and to avert the calami
ty a fair maiden of tha tribe *u u>
be sacrificed to tha cruel god and her
soul drowned in the placid waters of
Lake Ca-ta-ou-la.
The beautiful At-ta la. tha fair
daughter of the chief, offered herself
aa a willing victim to propitiate tha
Great Spirit
Dressed in all the finery and plo
‘nresqueness of apparel of an Indian
princess, she repaired to the lak* la
whose waters she was to find a watery
grave, followed by the weeping maid
ens and the stern warriors of tha
triQw.
She glided in her light canoe on the
waters of the lake until she had
reached the middle of the stream, and
with her eyes upraised and hands ex
tended toward the heavenly mansion
ot the great Manitou, she offered him
her youth and her life blood as a
sacrifice to propitiate him and to
avert the calamity that threatened hep
people.
With radiant smile ahe then turned
toward the shore of the lake where
knelt the weeping maidens. She waved
her hand gently to them, bidding them
an eternal adieu, and plunged Into Its
waters, to be seen no more
Supersititous persons assert that
even to this day in times of great
calamity and misfortune, when tha
moon spans the sky and shines serene
in the high heavens, streaking with
silvery fringe the gentle ripplea ot
the lake, a shadowy form is se«n glid
ing on its waters in a light canoe, with
hands extended heavenward, and they
say that all at once, uttering a wild
and unearthly shriek, the shadowy
form plunges headlong into the water*
and disappears, while the terror-strick
en denizens of the forest answer the
shrieks with howls and lugubrious hoot
lngs.
From that time Lake Ca-ta-ou-la be
came the sacred lake of the Indians,
and every year they repaired to this
spot to propitiate the great Manitou
with their offerings and sacrifices. Into
its crystalline waters they plunged
themselves to get cleansed of their
moral and physical impurities; into Ita
sacred waters they dipped their amu
lets and arrows to avert approaching
calamities and to protect themselves
against the devices of the evil spirit
He who could not make this yearly
pilgrimage felt despondent and un
happy, and his inability to follow the
others in the saintly journey boded
him no good.
If while performing his Immersion
in the lake one should happen to
drown, his memory was execrated, and
his death was considered the Judg
ment of the great Manitou as an atone
ment for the crimes committed by
him.
The lake is still called Ca-ta-ou-la.
the lake of sacrifice, but the greal
Manitou, like his Indian worshipers,
is now a thing of the past.
Frost Makes Fat Turkoya.
"Cold weather makes fat turkeya,
«ald the poulterer.
"Why?”
"Because in a warm fall the ground
keeps soft, the vegetation lingers on
and the fields are full of worms and
bugs. What’s the result? The result
Is that the turkeys, from sunrise till
dark, tramp the tempting fields on long
forages, eating the worms and bugs,
which thin them, and walking-all their
soft and fine flesh into tough; stringy
muscle.
“A cold fall, with early frosts and
snows, freezes the ground and killf
the bugs. Then the turkeys are dot
tempted to wander. They loaf. In the
farmyard, gorge an abundance of
grain, and put on flesh like a middle*
aged woman at a seashore hotel.
“But in a warm fall, hunting the Ir
resistible bug, the turkeys do their IB
or 20 miles regularly, and become ath
letes. For athletic turkeys there is no
public demand.’’
The Lawyer.
Now, guess who it is that takes aa
oath “whereby he ihvokes God’s help
that he ma'y db no falsehood nor con
sent to the doing of any in court; that
he may not wittingly or willingly pro
mote or sue any false, groundless or
unlawful suit, nor give aid or con
sent to the same; that he may delay
no man for lucre or malice, but that
he may conduct himself with all good
fidelity.” Guess who takes that oath.
But you would never guess it in th*
world. It is the lawyer.—Kansas City
Times.
Not in That Case.
He—Do you believe that if one per
son gives another a pair of sciaaora
It will cut their friendship?
