A newspaper correspondent, David Ker,
travelling in Central Asia, came one evening
upon a Cossack camp. Fires were blazing and
round them stretched the men, resting after
hard days march. The traveller had been
long on the road, and with his white Russian
forage cap and travei stained clothing looked
so much like the CoSsacks themselves that he
entered the camp unnoticed. Then he sat
down on a stone and took out colored map
of the country, knowing well that the strange
sight would bring the men about him imme-
diateIy.
so it proved. I suddenly became aware OF
a gaunt, sallow, gray mustached vlSage-so
criSS crossed with saber scars US to look like
railway map-peering over my shoulder.
Then another and another came edging III,
till l was completely surrounded by wild
figures ard grim faces.
WHATS that picture, fatherl We can't
quite make it out
It's not a picture at ALL brothers-it's
plan that shows me the very way by which
you have come here from holy Russia, and
all the places you have passed through
Then, seeming not TO notice the looks Of
unbelef and the meaning grins with which
my hearers received what they considered to
be q most outrageous lie, went on:
Cup here at Orenburg you passed the
Cral river. aud then marched eastward TO
Orsk, where you crossed the frontier and
turned to the southeast
$50 wa did, comrades shouted half
dozen voices at once. He speaks tRe truth
go we did
Then you passed Fort Kara Butak,
crossed the Kara Koum desert, and halted
here and here and here naming and des-
cribing the various posts.
The CosSacks listened opened mouthed to
the familiar names. and the excited clamor
was followed by q silence OF utter amaze
ment Then one said:
Father, can you show Us the very place
where we are nowI
ITO be suFe / can, my lad See, that
black spot is the village yonder; there's the
river twisting and winding, and here Is yous
camp
There was another pause Of blank be-
wildevment, and then the Scared veteran
with the gray mustache asked IN an awe
stricken whisper:
But, father, tell me for the love Of
heaven If we've marched 100 miles SINGS
leaving holy Russia, how can il 20 into

makes the fatal leap TO straddle and
lands plump on its back. The FESTIVE
steed gives wild plunge, and Tommy
would be sent headlong into the water,
to rise splutterlng and choking, while
the spectators, oonvulsed with laughter,
would chaff him into trying again. The
mussuk was san endles source of fun and
amusement to Tommy in his leisure time,
and in India he has plenty of it.
WATER PoLo-AND TOURNAMENTS.
The English counterpart of the mus
suk is an empty kerosene barrel coopered
water tight. From its shape and buoy
ancy, however, you could never ride it
If 1t we're not weighted by O leaden keel.
Besides this you should fix to each side
of the lead keel a strip of board
about six or eight inches deep. This
will prevent the barrel from rolling
round and round in the water. Cut @
slot out on each side where your legs
drop to the water when astride. Take
an inch deal board and carve out q
horse g head and neck and fix il to one
end of the barrel. Cock q small hand
flag staff up at the other and on 1t you
carry your riding colors. You can't
paddle the barrel along with your legs,
so get light double bladed paddle.
Now you nave your mount and your
mallet and are equipped for water polo.

and swamp grasses. rendering ii almost
impossible to see them when they are on
the ground. In the South, however,
especially in the mountainous parts, 1
have found them feeding in the COM
paratively open woods, where l had little
trouble in seeing them and making note
of their movements.
Early in March the woodcocks arrive
in the mountains of North Georgia, Ala
bama, Tennessee and the Carolinas and
scatter themselves widely in pairs, to
spend the nesting season. The male bird
has the habit of rising spirally in the
early morning light, sometimes higher
than the tree tops, and balancing himself
in the air, uttering low ,dronIng sound
which may be heard to a considerable
distance. This is his call TO his mate,
and when he falls the female is sure to
be near the spot. The birds play in
very droll fashion, running round and
round each other in small circle on the
ground, their feathers ruffied, their
wings delicately lifted and their long
bills pointing directly upward, their
heads resting upon their backs.
Fort Worth weekly gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-08-28

Sometimes they hop on one foot, holding
the other at an odd angle as il it were
broken, which gives very comical APP
peerauce, the male in the meantime ut
teriug a low murmuring sound. The fe-
male bird often carries her young be-
tween her feet when flying, and l have
seen the male bird do this. One singular
habit of woodcocks, which l have never
seen noted by ornithologists. is that both
male and female sit upon the nest at the
same time while iucubating, if the
weather is cold and wet. In doing this
they draw very close together, looking
in. opposite directions, their heads thrown
back and their bills elevated at an angle
OF forty-five degrees.
The woodcock 9 bill is covered with
mem branous sheath that has fine net
work of nerves; this enables the bird to
find its food by boring in soft earth. Its
feedlng-time is at night or on dark
days, when it may be seen moving about
in quick, nervous manner, touching
the ground with the tip of its bill and
using its wings and tail as If there were
danger of tumbling over. The nervous
covering of the. bill is so sensitive that
the bird can distinguish with 1t the
slightest movement of slug or worm
several inches below the surface by sim
ply touching the ground. Sometimes i'll
boggy places, where the mud will shake,
the woodcock drums the surface lightly
with the forepart of its wings to make
the worms stir, so that it can detect
where they are and probe for them.
Another curious habit OF this bird Is
that of moving its eggs to an extempor-
lied nest when it is disturbed while in
cubating. l was told of this habit by an
old negro, and afterward verified it by
experiment. Finding nest near spot
where 1 was camping 1 disturbed the
sitting bird two or three times each day,
and on the third day she moved her
eggs to a new nest about fifty feet away
from the original one. The second nest
appeared to be very rudy and hastily
constructed, and was in O place much
more difficult to reach than the first.
The whip poor-wlll also has this singular
nest moving habit.
