THEY FOOL THE FOWL
Wild Duck Hunters In China Are Wily
In Their Methods.
A full grown wiid duck is one of the
most wary of all animals, and many
are the devices of hunters in various
parts of the world to kill or to capture
!t. There is one method of taking
wild ducks in considerable numbers
practiced in China and elsewhere in
the east which is sufficiently unknown
to occidentals to prove of interest.
The natives see that a large number
cf big calabashes, or gourds, shall al
ways be left floating on the water fre
quented by the birds till they come to
regard them as part and parcel of
their resorts.
The duck hunter chooses his time.
find, putting one of the calabashes,
with holes cut for his mouth and eyes.
Dpon his head, he wades through the
lake, taking rare to keep the whole of
his body beneath the surface. He
cautiously approaches the unsuspect
ing wild fowl and. catching one nf
them by the leg. pulls him with a sud
den jerk beneath the water, eausinc
hardly more commotion of the surface
Than the duck itself when it dives or
splashes 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.

W' SPIDERS' WEBS. '~
Their Filmy Threads Have Wonderful
Sustaining Power.
The strength of the spider and of the
materials it employs is something al
most Incomprehensible when the size
Of the Insect and the thickness of Its
thread are taken Into account I:
experiments have shown that a single
thread of a web made by a spider
which weighed Bfty-four milligi
supported endwise a weight of four
prams, or seventy-four times the weight
cf tho spider itself.
When, therefore, a spider spins a web
•to let himself down from the cc
or from the branch of a tree and we
pee him descending without perceiv
ing his thread at ail we may be ; t-r
--fectljr sure that he is not only in no
danger of falling, but that be could
carry seventy-three other spiers down
■with him on his invisible rope.
Knowing this fact with reference to
a single thread, we need not be sur
rrised that the threads of a web. inter
woven and re-enforced one by another,
have a very considerable strength and
are able to hold bees and wasps, them
selves very powerful in proportion to
their size, and to bend without break
ing under a weight of dew or rain.—

A Minor Consideration.
It was often remarked by the rela
tives of Uncle Gideon Dobbs that he
was a most delightful person to whom
to confide a cherished ambition or dis
play an achievement. Whether Uncle
Gideon understood fully or not, he was
always ready with sympathy, admira
tion or encouragement.
When the family received the sum
mons to inspect young Franklin Dobbs'
invention, the mysterious work which
had occupied him for nearly a year,
Uncle Gideon was all enthusiasm. He
entered the room where the invention,
a thing of many small wheels and
bars, was placed on a heavy table,
stepped up to his nephew and wrung
his hand.
"You've done something to be proud
of, my boy." he said cordially. "Look
at all those little wheels, each in its
proper place and all running like clock
work. It's a perfect success, my boy,
a perfect success. What's it for?"—
Youth's Companion.
Diversity of Language.
E. B. Taylor in his "Anthropology"
says- "Language is one branch of
the great art of sign making or sign
choosing, and its business is to hit
upon some sound as a suitable sign or
symbol for each thought. Whenever
a sound has been thus chosen there
""•as no doubt a reason for the choice,
but it did not follow that each lan
guage should choose the same sound."
Thus we have the root explanation of
the great puzzle of diversity of lan
guage. Originally a matter of sound,
language varies with the thing by
which it is suggested, and hence the
babel of tongues found in our human
speech.
Health and Wealth.
Health is the foundation of the
world's prosperity. Wealth is the re
sult of the toils of health. A strong,
enduring body is good capital to begin
business with. A sound mind and good
judgment add greatly to its value. Pos
sessed of these, a man may earn a liv
ing and enjoy it when earned.
How He Felt.
Bearit—Bullem has failed for half a
million and his creditors will get about

he feel about it? Bearit—Sore, of
course. Fifty thousand is a lot of
money to give up.—Exchange.
Injury and Insult.
"What's the matter with yom wife?
She seems very irascible lately."
"Why. she was assisting at a rum
mage sale and somebody sold her new
hat for 35 cents."—Washington Herald

SHOES !N JAPAN.
A Man Will Wear Out From Eight to
Ten Pairs a Year.
The shops and booths of Japan are of
unfailing interest. Here the greengro
cer and fruit seller ims arranged his
wares till it seems as tli(.iiL rli one look
ed upon a great bouquet There the
flower shop blazes in brilliance and the
lantern maker squats at his multi
colored task. At the next entrance we
perhaps see a man severing chicken
meat from the bone, and he performs
the operation as skillfull}' as the sur
freon with his disserting knife. Beef
and chicken are commonly sold in this
fashion.
Two or three paces farther on one is
confronted with a typical Japanese
shoe store. All the footwear of the lit
tle brown man is here on view. The
ireta (wooden clogs) and straw sandals
are indeed a fanciful exhibition. They
line the benches, the floors, the shelves.
They nans: from above and seemingly
are everywhere, allowing the seller just
about enougb room to squat on his
mat. The newcomer is at once staT
tled at the immense quantity of this
simple footwear and the many places
where it is sold, but he soon finds a
solution to his query when he hears
.that a Japanese man annually makes
•away with from eight to ten pairs.—

SIZE OF WHALES.
Length of the Biggest Ones and the
Height They Can Spout.
A government official who has made
i a special study of whales states that
the average length of a full grown
sulphur bottom whale is just under
eighty feet. This estimate disregards
the exaggerated reports sometimes
spread by sailors and is based on
measurements of many indi
vidual specimens. There seem to be
credible accounts of whales reaching
a length of fri>m eighty-five to ninety
five feet, but tho authority quoted has
never seen any of that size.
Whales appear to grow with great
rapidity, the length of yearlings being
estimated at from thirty to thirty-five
feet.
How high can whales spout? Photo
graphs taken by the scientist referred
to give a means of measuring with
pome accuracy the height to which the
water is thrown. This appears to be
much less than it has often been sup
posed to be. It is claimed that even
the great sulphur bottom whale on the
average spouts tn a height of only
fourteen feet, although occasionally
the height may be as much as twenty
feet.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Accidents will happen, but the beet
regulated families keep Dr. Thomas'
Electric Oil for such emergencies. It
subdues the pain and heals the hurts.
