BIG DUCK-SHOOTINC.
A Gun that Carries a Pound and a Ha,
NJ Shnf

A Gun that Carries a Pound and Half
of Shot.
The ordinary shotgun, however perfect it
may be, is altogether too tame and ineffec-
tive weapon for the professional Potomac
duck-hunter. He must have something that
mows down the game like machine. He
generally uses what he calls ''big gun. -
the barrel Of which is from ten to fifteen
feet long and which carries pound and
half Of shot and half pound of powder.
This engine Of destruction is placed on
sort of pivot or rest in the bow of
boat or skiff, with the muzzle extending
overheard and the butt resting against
packing Of rags or something similar in the
bottom of the craft. The man who uses it
lies down fiat on the bottom and approaches
the ducks on the water by means of what is
called a creeping paddle" which is very
short and which is worked by one hand
stretched over the side of the boat When a
point has been reached sufficiently near the
ducks some movement is made to brighten
them, and as they rise in great
fiuttering black clouds the ''big gum
is fred into their midst, sometimes
killing many dozen. The rebound of
these guns is so great that they
sometimes throw the skiff back forty feet
and even sometimes sink it. The force of
the rebound is caught by the packing in the
bottom of boat, and as may be imagined,
not against the shoulder of the man who
fires it. Another device of similar charac-
ter, practiced by Potomac market hunters
is to arrange from seven to ten old musket
| barrels on the edge of the boat and have the
triggers of all of them connected by a
string, which when pulled explodes the en-
tire set. In this way as many as two hun
dred ducks have been killed at one fire,
many OF them canvas backs. n

CROSSING THE LEGS.
Alleged Reasons Why Men Have TIL
pecu lar Habit

Alleged Reasons Why Men Have This
Iecui lar Habit.
Men generally cross their legs when there
is least pressure on their minds You will
never find a man actually engaged in bust
ness with his legs crossed The limbs at
those times are straighter than at any other,
because the mind and body work together
A man engaged in auditing accounts will
never cross his legs, neither will man who
is writing an article, or who is employed in
any manner where his brain is actually en-
gagged. When at work in a sitting posture
the limbs naturally extend to the floor in o
perfectly straight line. A man may cross
his legs if sitting in an Office chair discuss
ing some proposition with another man, but
the instant he becomes really in earnest and
perceives something to be gained his limbs
uncross quick as a fash, he bends forward
towards his neighbor; and begins to use his
hands. That is phase that 1 believe you
will always observe.
Men often cross their legs at public meet
ings because they go there to listen or to be
entertained; they are not the factors in the
performance, and they naturally place
themselves in the most comfortable position
known to them-namely, leaning we'll back
in their chairs and crossing their legs A
man always crosses his legs when he reads
newspaper, but is more apt to lie down
when he reads book. He reads the paper,
of course, to inform himself, but at the
same time the perusal of it's contents is rec
reation to him, and his body again seeks its
position Of relaxation. When man is
reading newspaper and waiting for his
breakfast, his legs are always crossed, but
as soon as breakfast is brought to him he
puts the paper aside. straightens out his
legs, and goes to work-that is, begins to
eat, his mind now turning ON the duties Of
the day before him.

A Fresh Masculine Craze.

The freshest masculine "craze'
is the tallless dress-coat. 1t is lust
what the name describes-the regu-
latlon dress-coat, minus the claw.
hammer finish. The innovation is
not followed on strictly full-dress
occasions, such as weddings, large
dinners, dances and the like; but it
is permissible for evening calls, ope.
ras and even afternoon teas Now
the tailless coat has been known for
some time abroad as the "COwes
coat;' but now that it is finding favor
with us we distinguish it as the "Tux-
edo" The "Tuxedo," which is sim.
liar to the dress-coat in front, but is
otherwise the counterpart of the or
binary sackcoat, is made of fine rib
bed black cloth; the rolled collar is
of black silk, and there are three
pockets without flaps. With the
Tuxedo" is worn a black satin
necktie, a black or white low-cut
vest, according to taste, and a low
hat, which is requisite accompani-
ment.-Februa,y Table Talk.

Mary, Queen of Scots.

That Mary wore false hair, and of
many different Colors, there is every
reason to believe. Elizabeth is
known to have had collection of
eighty wigs, and her dear cousin,
with the unusual advantage of so
many seasons in Paris, is rot likely
to have been far behind her. Among
the statements of the accounts of her
personal expenditure are numerous
items of Ps,vuqnes de cAe0eux, and
Sir Francis Knollis, writing to Bur-
leigh of the ever faithful E'Mistress
Mary Seton, the finest busker, that is
to say the finest dresser of woman's
head of hair that is to be seen in anv

pretty devices she did set such a
curled hair upon the Queen, that
was said to be perewyke that Showed
very delicately. And every other
day she hath new device of head
dressing, without any cost, and vet

! This variety and eccentricity of Golf
fure naturally adds to the confusion
and makes greater the difficulty in
identifying positively any of the por-
traits or descriptions of her. His
torlans say that her mother was tall
and beautiful, that her father was
dignlfed, having a fair complexion
and light hair; aid other and con-
temporaneous historians say that she
inherited most of the characteristics
of her parents, "being about the or

and Grecian features, and a nose

Our Trade With Canada.

OTTAWA, Jan. 2o.-The Domin
ion Government has issued the trade
returns for 1888, showing a tota
trade Of $2oI, 100000, made up o.
500, 900 exports and $IIo,8o4,ooe
imports, on which a duty Of $22,
200, 900 was collected. Our aggre
gate trade with the United States
was over $4,000 900 and with Great
Britain only S7o,ooo,ooo. Twelve
years ago the difference was &c..
900, 900 in favor of Great Britain, sc
that there is change of $50, ooo, ooc
in favor of the United States. Last
year we imported 100000 more
from Great Britain than from the
United States, SO that there is a
change of $40, ooo, 900 in favor of the
United States in twelve months.
During 1888 Canada sent $780,
10000 to Great Britain and over
$42, 100000 to the United States
This is turn over of $1,000, 900 in
favor of the United States. In the
same period we imported $50, 900, ooc
from Great Britain and $4,000, ooc
from the United States. This shows
a decline from Great Britain of &c..
100000 compared with 1887, and an
increased purchase from the United
States of over 100000. The tar
if bears heaviest on the mother coun.
try, whose goods paid twenty two per
cent, and those of the United
States only fourteen per cent.
Another sample of the astonishing
manner in which Canada's trade is
changing from Great Britain to the
United States is the fact that while
our agricultural exports in 1887
were 100000 in favor of Great
Britain, they are in 1888 $6,ooo,ooo
in favor of the United States, the fig
ures being: Great Britain, $4,2o2,o 900;
United States, $40, 100000.
The United States bought $1o,-
100000 worth of lumber from Cana
da in 1888; of animals, $1,000, 900,
and of fish, $1,000, 900. Ii would
seem that if trade barriers were re-
moved between Canada and the
United States Great Britain would
lose the market almost altogether.

Mrs. Burnett's New Home.
The Author of "LttIe Lord FauntIeroy" Has
an Enormous Income.

an Enormous Income.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett is
just moving into an elegant new
house she has recently purchased on
Massachusetts, Avenue, in Washing
ton, and is fitting it up in the most
sumptous manner, as she can we'll af-
ford to do. Mrs. Burnett probably
earns more money than any woman
in the world. and receives a greater
price for her work. Her income this
year will be from $4,000 to $50, 900
In the first place she receives per-
centage of the receipts from the play
of Little Lord Fauntleroy," which
is now being presented by four COM
panies in England and one in the
United States, and two more are
being organized to travel in this
country.
Her weekly revenues from the play
in England vary from $500 to 81, 900
and from the managers Of the Broad
way theater in New York she gets
about $500 a week. Fifteen hundred
is not an exaggerated estimate of her
receipts from the play alone, while
her revenues from the sale of the
book are large Seventy-five thous-
and copies Of the "Little Lord Faun-
leroy have already been sold, and
the publishers say they cannot print
them fast enoagh to supply the de-
mand. An edition of 1000 copies
was placed on the press 1st of Dec
ember, and all were sold before
they left the binders hand.
From this she receives 20 cents a
copy, which leaves the aggregate not
a small sum. Mrs. Burnett has been
paid $4,000 in advance by the
Mcclure syndicate for a serial story
that is just about half finished,
and has received a retainer of $1,000
from The New York Ledger for an
other serial to be delivered before
the 1st of July, when she will receive
$4,000 more in full payment.
Thirty thousand dollars for stories
unwrltten and $4,000 from her plays
during the coming year is not an ex-
aggerated estimate of Mrs. Burnett's
(lnCome. She is receiving PROPOSE
tons from publishers constantly
which she is compelled to reject,
and has also applications from lect-
ure bureaus to take the platform, but
she is too timid for this sort Of work
and has no taste for it. Last week
she received an offer of $1,000 a
week for eight weeks from promi-
nent lecture bureau to read extracts
from her works. Mrs. Burnett has
just signed a contract to edit child

THE NEGRO WAS 1NsoLENr.
An Experience Which Two Atlanta
Men Had in the North.

An Experience Which Two Atlanta
Men Had in the North.
A prominent United States official re-
turned to Atlanta last week from Washing
ton, and tells good story of what befell
him on the train as he was travelling south
with a friend, who is also a government
employee.
Soon after leaving Washington a big
negro boarded the train. He had evidently
been drinking, and stood on his rights as a
free and independent citizen. There were
several vacant seats in the car, but the
colored citizen passed them by and chose
one which was already occupied by lady
travelling alone.
The negro lounged back in her seat, occu-
plying much more than half until another
lady, seeing the uncomfortable position of
the solitary one, came over and invited her
to move. The change evidently annoyed
the negro, for he glared about him in
savage way, and then took big drink from
flask. The liquor made him restless, and
he began moving about the car. Several
times he produced his bottle and looked at
it lovingly.
All this time the temper of the two At
lanta officials had been rising. Finally one
OF them could stand it no longer. He
crossed over to the negro and told him
plainly that unless he banaved himself he
would be thrown from, the moving train.
The Negroes answer was a study of iuso-
lence. In moment the official had him by
the throat. His hand was raised above his
head to strike, and in it something glistened
in the fading light.
The other official, fearing that his friend
would get into serious trouble, seized the
appraised arm from behind and stopped its
downward. course.
The negro looked around for help, and,
seeing nothing but scowling faces about
him, subsidized and agreed to behaye. When,
however, the excitement had quieted, he
looked about him for some one who would
sympathize with him. In one corner he
discovered man whose whole appearance
proclaimed him a New England yankee.
10 his side the negro betook himself and
opened a conversation. In reply to que;-
tions, he informed the negro that he was
from Massachusetts. He had fought for
the abolition of slavery, and he believed in
the political equality Of the white and black
man.
The negro was delighted, and, sure of his
friends sympathy, he asked:
Say, boss, what's yo' nameW
None of your - business" came the
reply.
astonished negro
81 tell you what l think" said the
yankee. "Those gentlemen over there made
just one mistake-they ought to have car
ried out the work they began and killed
you"
Quietly the burly negro sought seat by
himself, and remained there until the
station where he was to ahght was an
nounced. Then he walked to the door,
made bow to the people, and said:
"You have witnessed foul conspiracy
to assassinate me, gentlemen and ladies.
but by the grace of God l have escaped I'M
scathed"
Then he disappeared into the night, and
was seen no more.

The Great Paris Pawn Shops.
rom the London Times


The annual report of the board which
administers the n,onts- de piete or estab-
lishments at which money is lent upon
objects placed in pawn, is to the effect that
during the past year QSSS) 1910, $50 articles
were pledged for a SUN of 81, 425 1857, and
$50, 1884 objects pledged anew for sum of
9S45, ass. The number of objects sold was
177,415, and they produced a total Of about
9180,0O0.
The greater part of the articles pledged
were for sums from to 10 francs, and then
came the articles pledged from to francs.
Only LIZ per cent. of the whole amount
lent was in sums between EGO and 940,
while the proportion on pledges over e40
was but 1.23 per cent. The board of direct
ors calculates that the total reduction to
persons who have pledged goods within the
last two years, brought about by the
gradual diminution of the rate of interest,
is at least EOS, 900, and they propose to
obtain the sanction of the next French
chamber to two other measures, one for
loans upon negotiable securities. which will
be of benefit to small investors, and the
other for the reorganization of the system
of appraising the articles offered in pledge
