Wild Duck. Getting Scarce.

A serious danger that threatens
duck shooting is the manufacture of a
new glue in Canada, which relies for
its quality upon the albumen con-
tanned in the ducks eggs. The birds
go north every spring and make their
nests in the Canadian wilds. For
merly theis nests were not molested,
and they 'Sere allowed to raise their
young. Now that the eggs arc val
liable the nssts are robbed by tho hunt
ers, and thu $ an immense quantity are
destroyed. This materially reduces
the supply of young ducks which
should cone south for fall shooting.
Many othe- causes have combined TO
make duck shooting in the Mississippi
valley scailt sport, and unless the
states pass i.he proper Legislation u
wild ducks like the buffalo, will be
decimated. Every sportsman will tell
you the difference between duck
shooting now and five years ago.
The complaint is general that ducks
in this vicinity are scarce. Many pro-
fessional duck hunters, who used 10 use
swivel guns On the little lakes over in
Illinois, find their occupation gone
and have laid away their ~parapher-
MALTA There has been too much wild
duck shooting. The prices asked by
the game dealers would alone prove
that They will tell you that where
they used to let more than they could
handle, they now cannot always fill
orders. Tho wholesale slaughter of the
past few years has diminished the
light of birds. Our supplies in pass
ing northward or southwark are shot
by the sportsmen of Texas, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, and
none of these states seem willing to
inss prohibitory laws as long as the
citizens of other states are allowed to
Gang ut the ducks while passing
through their territory. II one state
would net now others would follow,
;Or all sportsmen recognize the dan
ger. Something will undoubtedly be
done at the next session of the legisla-
care, as the game dealers are aroused.
Why, If the present lax system con
tinues two years longer precious few
wild ducks will be seen In this yicin-
ity.-St Louis Globe-D Democrat

Worms for Birds

There are a good many men in
Brooklyn who make a living at catch
ing meal worms and selling them to our
trade, said the proprietor of n Fulton
street bird store to an Eagle reporter.
There is a man who has furnished
me with these worms for the past five
years. Step this way and 1 will show
you how they come to us"
The reporter followed the bird dealer
into a back room, where on a shelf
stood a row of small tin boxes. The
dealer took down one and opened the
lid. The can was half full of small
~crustaceous worms of yellow and
brown color. They measured about
an eighth of an inch in thickness and
an inch and a half in length.
These boxes" said the proprietor,
hold about n thousand worms and
cost at this time of the year 81 per box.
Most of the meal worms are caught in
the big grain warehouses on the river
front, in flour mills and old feed
stores"
How much does q worm catcher
earl in his peculiar vocationY"
"a good man at the business can
mako from 50 to $40 per week. They
catch them with their hands or use q
seive. A great many worms are ON
stunned In the course of q year. Mock
ing birds and nearly all birds with
soft bills are very partial to them. Be
sides, they are healthy. 1t is said that
meal worms are good eating and taste

German Army Discipline.

Follow a company of German sol
diers in the fighting line at maneuvers
and mark the way in which every
sight is carefully adjusted to any
named distance and changed at each
rush forward, even when the men are
excited by n rapid advance. The
present writer was a witness of a scene
at the maneuvers where a company
officer, who had noticed n man fail to
change the sight of his rifle at q fresh
distance, at ono told him off for extra
guard duty, this indeed being no light
punishment after the men have been
marching and fighting pretty well the
whole day. Compare such fire dis
cipline as this with what n but too
commonly sees and hears at Aldershot
field days-words of command for
troops to fire and no distance named,
or if named not attended to.-Macmil-
lan's Magazine.
