tiers HAPPY,
From the Savannah News
Wild ducks are reported 10 be plentiful,
more so than at at any time before at this
season OF the year, and are selling as low
as 80 cents per pair They are not found
in the rivers so much an old sportsman
says, but they are feeding in the rice fields
which were oyeraowed by the last freshet.
The ducks are mostly mallard, but there
are some teal. Very few canvas backs are
ever seen in this section. They are very

So per pair in the North, owing TO their
delicious flavor, rs they feed on the wild
celery which grows in the neighborhood
OF the Chesapeake Bay.
"You can always tell when the ducks
are coming South, said one duck hunter
to another few days ago, as his Compan-
ion shot "blue peter"
CLOVIS that" asked the other.
whenever you see blue peter" you
may know the ducks are on their way
South, " was the rejoindcr.
The "blue peter" is said TO be a very
toOthsome delicacy, equaling the fresh
water marsh hen.
1--WE very rarely get any wild geese in
this section" the sportsman added. "They
have been flying over the past week in
great numbers, on their way further South,

question directed to group Of county
men in market the other day, aud they all
agreed that game never was so abundant.
Cat and fox squirrels are said 10 be very
plentiful, as are quail and rabbits. One
must get or ten miles out Of town TO find
small game, as the territory near the city
is raided daily by men and boys who keep
up such u lusillade that everything is
driven further inland.
"ll the Northern tourists only knew
what good hunting there is within few

"Do you know that Audubon. with all

summer duck gets her young in the water2
Well, he don't. There are two ways in
which she does this, rs verified by actual

in which American artists both study
and work. Says BOnnat: II have had
many American pupils, Generally they
were very gifted. They did their best,
but unfortunately they left Paris too
soon, before having obtained thorough
acquaintance with their art" Bartholdi
says: You are too restless and in too
much of hurry in the United States. :"
The following is an extract from Bou
guereau 8 letter: 81 have had in my
studio many Americans of both sexes
who have distinguished themselves by
conscientious and Ineritorious work.
But why do the larger number of them
stop half way? Because they are not
sufficiently convinced that long and
hard study is necessary to obtain bril-
liant results" From Cabanel: They
(the American art students) show an
intelligent desire to do good work and
are persistent and conscientious. How
ever, must add that IN the matter of
elevation of mind, they do not rise
above the modern conception of art,
which, according to my thinking, are
rather narrow, and. naturally do not give
promise of a great future to those who
cling to them. Every work Of
art whether realistic or historic, must
show,if it is to live, the stamp of nature
in natures most powerful mood" All
the artists speak words of encourage
ment for American art, and all seem to
expect the time will come when some
thing worthy will be produced here. On
this point Robert Fieury says, Il firmly
believe that the day is not far distant
when Americans will assume an import
ant position in the world of art. The large
number Of young artists who come to
Paris to study in our schools, and who
have already done themselves 80 much
credit in our exhibitions, proves that a
brilliant success awaits them IN the near
future" Robert Fleury also does not
deny to American students willingness
to acquire solidity and breadth. f

MARION HARLAND,S OPINION OF
RAKING POWDERS.

Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists
and hyglenists is to the relative value Of
the various baking powders. A careful
sitting Of the evidence leaves no doubt
as to the superiority Of the Royal Bsk-
ing Powder in purity, wholesomenesS
and strength, from a scientific stand
point. An opinion, however, that will
weigh heavier than any other with our
practical house keepers, is that given by
Marion Harland, the best known and
most popular of American writers upon
matters pertaining to the science Of do
mestic economy, of housekeeping and
home cooking. In recent letter to the
Philadelphia Ladies Home Journal, this
writer says:
II regard the Royal Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and in the
market, 80 far as have any experience
in the use of such compounds. Since
the introduction of it into my kitchen
three years ago, have used no other in
making biscuits, cakes, etc., and have
entirely discarded for such purposes the
home made combination of one-third
soda. two thirds cream of tartar.
Every box has been in perfect con-
dition when it came into my hands, and
the contents have given complete salts

The society ladies of New York con-
tlnue to be deeply moved by Dr.IDix'sr re
cent Lenten discourse. 1t is understood
that party of three indignant women,
not satisfied with denying emphatically
the truth of DIR. Dix's charges, are &C
cumulating documentary evidence, IN
order TO make the retutatlon as strong
as possible. A leading physician of that
city said the other night that number
of prominent women in society had been
engaged during the past week or so in
getting letters from his fellow practi-
TONERS setting forth their high medical
opinions of the purity of American wo.
manhood. He said that he himself had
been approached and had cheerfully
contributed testimonial of this charac.
ter. This announcement is made by the
World, and if it is true it certainly ind
Gates that certain people are in very
curious state of mind Telegram.
And yet the fact is indisputable that
motherhood is scorned by these society
ladies, and that the race is fast dying out
as far as they are concerned. This is not
the normal condition.
