American Pheasants.

October Outing: The pheasant is an arti-
fetal production and not bird of the
wilderness, like the quail, the snipe, the
woodcock and the wild duck, or even the
partridge and the grouse. He is an inn
portation, not only into England but into
Europe Whether he came into England
through their Roman conquerors, whose
aviaries he adorned, or through France,
where he has always been widely spread,
is matter of little or no moment. Suffice.
as the Americans say, he got here all the
same, as he would if carried, get into and
thrive in any country where the temper
ature is not too low and where there are
silent woods with a thick underground for
shelter, for he is ready colOniZer. He
would doubtless have crossed eastward into
America from Asia centuries ago
but for the intervening sea. Why
he has not been introduced into
tn e admirably adapted Southern states;
why the ample woods of Virginia do not
glow with his plumage and echo with his
crow is one OF those things which, as Dun
dreary says, mo fellow can find out" 1t is
not very difficult, in any suitable country,
to maintain the pheasant although it is
costly to do so. After his intantile days his
natural food is simple. The acorn, the
beech nut the root of the buttercup or the
pilewort crowfoOt suffice him; but if these
fail he is quite ready-nay, more than ready
Ito take from the hands of man the fruits
of artificial cptivation-the barleycorn, the
buckwheat, the fragrant pea or even the
ubiquitous potato. The difficulty with him
as an adult 1eaving poachers out of the
question: is not to rear him in plenty, but
to keep him at home, SO that he may be
there when he is wanted; for he is very
gregarious bird, especially fond of compa-
ny, bird OF many wives (relic of his East
ern origin) and much given to wandering
abroad to find them. Many are the shifts
to which the keeper is put to repress this
wandering instinct.

From the Birmingham Mercury.

from the Birmingham Mercury.
The latest Munchausen story was
related by boy who was begging in
the streets of Plymouth the other
day. He said he was q cabin on an
American liner, and for some of his
mischievous FRANKS was headed up
in an empty water-cask, with only
the bunghole to breathe through.
On the following night asquall came
up; the ship went down with all n
board except himself, the cask con-
tanning him having rolled over into
the sea on sudden lurch of the ves-
sci. Fortunately it kept chung up"
and after thirty hours floating
about it was cast on the coast,
where, after he had made desperate
efforts to release himself, he gave
himself up to die. Some cows stroll
ling along the beach were attracted
to the cask, and in switching around
it one of them accidentally dipped
her tail in the bunghole, which the
boy grasped Immediately, and kept
hold of with admirable resolution.
The cow started off, and after run.
ming about 800 yards the cask
struck against a rock, and was
knocked to pieces. After wandering
about for several days he hailed a
vessel, was taken on board and car
ried to Falmouth.

a ShIn-shaving Scheme.

The man who says that women
have not originality not only speaks
an untruth but deceives himself,
saws the Washington Post. Every
one has had occasion to go through
q room in the dark on more or less
frequent occasions, when locking the
back door had been forgotten or the
pitcher of ice-water omitted from the
nightly preparations Il for slumber,
and every one knows how each md!-
vidual piece of furniture in each dark
room traversed including the piano )
sharp corners and the rocking
chairs twin projections, is cOllided
with. And all these hard knocks are
sustained by the stretch Ofbone from
the knee to the ankle that is com.

A desperate horse thief in Maine,
who escaped from Jail, has been cap

gave chase and cornered him in a

drew a toy pistol and fred several
blank cartridges at him. The fellow
then gave himself up. A carriage

The Habit Of Rapid Work.

Edward Everett Hale, in an article
in the Forum, expresses his surprise
that clergymen should spend so
much time, frequently week, in COM
posing a sermon OF not more than
thirty-five hundred words.
The average newspaper man, Mr..
Hale says, writes easily and rapidly.
He has to do it or get lett. He must
have his information in his head, or
at hand. He may be required, late
at night, to write column about a
great man or a political event, and
he cannot spend a week thinking the
matter over.
The newspaper man, too, knows
that he will have no chance to revise
his copy when he sends it late to the
compositors, page by page. So he
writes carefully, and attends to the
paragraphing and punctuation.
1t will strike the preacher that this
is work at high pressure. So it is,
but it becomes habit. When writ
ers know that they must work in
this way, they think quickly and
clearly, and put the right word in the
right place without the slightest hes
itatiOn.
The newspaper habit ofrapid writ
ing results in fairly good work that
will compare tavornhly with the
more deliberate compositions OF the
preachers. When a thing must be
done. that settles it.
1t will not do to sheer at this rap
id writing tor the newspapers. 1t
moves the world, entertains, i'll
structs and shapes public opinion.
1t gets into histories and other books
and in many instances is a model OF
style.
Yet the average newspaper man
will write 100000 words of good
matter in a year, and stick to his
work without vacation, while the
preacher has to take a month or two
off every year.
1t is largely a matter OF habit.
Under somewhat similar conditions
the preachers would do in one day
the work that now stretches out
through the week, and the proba-
biltv is that there would be no loss
in quality and quantity. In this
rapid age We must cultivate the hab-
it OF rapid thinking and rapid ac-
ton

Nerve in Locomotive Engi-
neerS.

A Pennsylvania railroad man says
young men are selected as the drivers
of locomotives on fast trains be-
cause old men do not have the nerve
to stand the strain of the terrible
speed of these trains, and even the
nerviest young man gets afraid of
them after awhile. Then they get
to letting up in speed, the trains run
behind time, the engineers are given
other rHns, and new men are put on
in their places.
