mense fiocks of bay birds abound, and
comprise every variety of snipe species
common to this latitude. among them
curlew, willet, plOyer and yellow legs.
Gunners come purposely in May and
shoot them in numbers. They are also
attracted by decoys, painted TO resem-
Bile them, and are supported by sticks
to which they are fastened, being run
on the mud flats on which they alight
and feed, the guhners lying near at
hand. A nice bed of grass or trash is
made, from which the gunner shoots
and loads at will. To show the attrae-
ton of these decOys, and the limitation
of their whistling, large focks are
sometimes enticed back, and settle 10
the decoys again and again. killcues
do this, but they are the simplest birds
and most easily deceived of all. Blue
heron are among our game. They are
seen standing on the marshes, or flying
about and slowly settling down. They
are large crane, of blush or dark
dove color, and standing with bent
neck they are about five feet high, and
when flying with head and legs
straight are nearly six feet, with about
five feet spread of wings. They are all
along this coast.

Astonishing Juggiery.

In Delhi. India, we saw the celebra-
ted basket ''trick," which is sometimes
poorly initiated by professional jug
glers in this country. a native pro-
duced basket and blanket, and after
permitting us to see that they contained
nothing, inverted the basket on the
ground and covered it with the blanket
We paid no attention to his incantations,
but kept our eyes fixed on the basket
and the space around it, resolved that
no boy should be smuggled into it or
ont of it without seeing him. What
made the triek,still more wonderful was
the fact that the performer stood in a
clear space, and we could look down
upon him as he proceeded. lie went
through the customary act of thrusting
a sword through the insterstices of the
basket, when the cries of boy were
heard as if in mortal pain issuing from
the basket. Turning it over, there was
a boy apparently unhurt and seemingly
enjoying the fun. Restoring the bask-
ct, with the blanket over it, to its for
mer position, with the boy under it.
the juggler went through the same in
carnations, and then running his sword
under the blanket, tossed it away from
him. Turning over the basket, no boy
was to be seen. So far as anything
could be observed there was no possible
place in which the little fellow could
be concealed. Another feat quite as
tonishing we saw performed in the
streets of Constantinople. An itinerant
magician showed US a cane which had
the appearance of being of wood and
very knOtty. This he tossed in the air
as high as he could, and when it touch
ed the ground it took the form of live
serpent, with blazing eyes and rapid
movements. Itlooked like a dangerous
specimen, and one which no man would
like to approach. Catching up. this
monster the fellow coiled it round his
neck and fondled it, while it wri.hed
and exhibited the most venomOus quail
ties. Throwing it high up in the air il
fell to the ground the same cane which
we had handled at our ease.

Driving on the Fog.

On u late passage of the steamer Dre,,
on the Hudson she was detained below
Albany by heavy fog. Captain Roe
was standing near the pilot house on
the lookout, when he was approached
by venerable gentleman of rural APP
pearance. The boat was pushing for
ward with half speed and great caution.
Captain" said the stranger, "wby
don't you drive off the fog:''
''Just the thing should like to have
you tell me how to do"
''I'll tell you how an old German
frierd of mine years ago did it," and
the passenger commenced by saying:
SIN the rich valley of the Mohawk K
there is quiet little village called
Spraker's Basin. Many years ago, be-
fore there was such a thing as "A railroad
in the State of New York. the veritable
Mr.. Spraker, the patriarch and founder
of Spraker's Basin, was keeping tav-
ern mile or so from the village, upon
the thoroushfare known rs Johnstown
Road. Spraker's as it Is generally
called, was in early times the great ren-
devious for the Mohawk farmers. while
journeying to Albany with their wheat,
and of the jefferson and Lewis County
droyers. Now and then New York
merchant on his trip to the Northern
settlements was to be seen before the
great wood fire in Spraker's tavern.
This class of travellers were held in
much respect by old Spraker and the
honest Dutch farmers OH the river.
One of this class accosted the old man
on the porch one foggy morning, with ::
Mr.. Spraker, do you have much of
this sort of weather, down here in this
valley?"
''Oh, yees, put we tont mind it. Mr..
Stewart, | has a way of triving it OFF.

'How's thar, Mr.. Spraker, should

Mr.. Stewart, keep a doin' till the fog
all goes away"
well, upon my word, Mr.. Spraker.
this is a novel mode of getting clear OF
a fog. How many drains did you ever

in driving of the fogg"

Game on the Sea shore.

Wild geese and duck are the leading
Of Atlantic City, on the ocean. The
outfit to hunt these birds consists of a
slight skiff or small batteau. weighing
only about seventy-five pounds, so as to
be easily hauled over the meadows, not
exactly the perfect sneak box of Barne-
gat, but similar in appearance and use !;
large lot of wooden decoy ducks, an
excellent double gun; breach loading
preferred. Besides most of the duck
sportsmen own yacht, or Il share in
one, tine, cosy, decked and cabined,
about twenty-five feet long, with one
huge sail. The boats are provisioned,
so that their owners can spend a week
at a time on board with three or four
companions, sailing along the creeks
and bays between the mainland and
the sea. The more stormy the weather
the greater the chance of plenty of
ducks. They are hunted so much that
they go TO sea all day usually, but in
high winds and rains they remain in
the bays aud the ponds on the marshes.
At dusk and dawn each hunter leaves
the yacht in his skiff, and taking separ-
ate places, generally within hail of
each otner, they set out and anchor the
decoys, haul their boats on the marsh,
cover them from the sight of the wary
ducks by pulling grass and seaweed
and throwing it over them. and then
secrete themselves along the bank and
wait for the fiocks of ducks 20 approach
and settle among the decOys. Here in
The bitter, freezing weather and storm
they wait for hours, when flock ap-
proaches, initiating their cries to lure
them to settle among their decoys
within gunshot, and if successful in
Turing them near enough, shooting
both barrels among them and nimbly
slipping in fresh charges, and, if possi-
BILE, firing away again. They launch
the boat and secure the killed and
wounded game, and hide for another
shot. The ducks visit the fresh water
ponds and slashes for water. Hiding
near these the gunners slay numbers.
As they weigh about five pounds to the
pair, it occasionally becomes burden
some to get the ducks home. IL is a
common thing here for gunners TO
start for the inlet, the boat houses or
Higbee's, at midnight with skiff. de-
coys, gun, and go five miles to haunt.
prepare for game and secrete himself
before day. The money value of pair
of black ducks is generally seventy-ive
cents, but the fascination and excite
ment of the pursuit attract many who
would not sell the catch for money.
Gunners are not always successful,
sometimes returning with none or but
few. Wild geese are not plentiful, and
very few persons have outfits here save
a few of the old-time gunners. Geese
were killed more frequently here years
ago. 1t is related that flocks of geese
used TO light IN a big, deep pond where
the United States Hotel is now located.
Wild geese command about one dollar
each, and are superior in flavor to
ducks. Other game is abundant here
in its season. In May and August i'm

Corn Stalk Sngar.

A Westmoreland county, Pa, farmer
by which sugar can be made from the
common field corn-stalks, at cost of
three cents per pound, and the plant
being only slightly inferior to the sugar
care of Louisiana, and containing two
per cent. more saccharine matter than
the beet root. The name of the discov-
erer is Mr.. +. ). Stewart, and his pro-
cess, discovered after several years eX-
pertinent for crystalizing the liquid, is
as follows: The costly bone black and
carbonic acid are no longer required.
The stalks are cut after the ear has ar
rived at an age suitable for drying or
canning-the full value of the corn
crop being thus obtained entirely inde-
pendent of the sugar growth-and sent
to an ordinary crushing mill. The
Juice placed in pans, after being heated
to $50 degrees, is then heavily lined so
as to make it exceedingly alkaline. AZ
ter being decanted and impurities re-
moved, liquid dioxide of sulphur is
then introduced in sufficient quantities
to make the syrup highly acidulous.
As impurities are precipitated, they
continue 10 be removed, and more do
xide of sulpur added to keep the syrup
in its acidulous condition, until the
syrup is reduced TO the density neces-
sary to form sugar. 1t is then thrown
into a cooler and allowed to crystalize,
edraining being performed by CEN
trifugal machine. or other modern pro-
cess. The color of this sugar as it
comes from the draining machine is
much better than that of ordinary cane
sugar, the syrup of the cane being red.
while this is nearly white.

How to Discourage a Minister.

Go to church only occasionally, and
when you go, 90 late; take no part in
singing, but keep up whispering.
Find all the fault yOu can; point out
his deficiencies before your children
and others. Don't aid his work, but
despise his lack of good sense. Tell
tales to him about the people and their
criticisms of him. Tell him how much
his predecessors were thought of. Keep
away from weekday meetings. Get
up gayeties, particularly some enter
tainment near the communion season.
Require him to be present everywhere.
Keep back his salary. Keep talking
about general dissatisfaction.
Patient continuance in these prac-
tices will surely drive away both the
spirit and the minister of God.
