am convinced that if woman finds
pleasure in killing fish or bird, she is
perfectly entitled to so amuse herself,
and the great, round, goggle-eyed
world has no right to point at nor talk
about her, says writer in Outing.
The few women who openly handle
rod and gun as though they really
knew the uses of the tools seldom fail
to acquit themselves creditably; and,
best of all, in following their chosen
pastimes they find what every man and
woman wants above all earthly things
health of body and of mind. Long,
dusty ages ago, from out the old blue
clay was fashioned man, and after him
was woman. She, the humorists tell
US, has been after him, more or less,
ever since; and, in my humble opinion,
the more she is after him in the line of
field sports the better for the gentler
sex. There Is no evil in the wilds as
nature made them; there is wondrous
truth in the sermon of stones and
streams, in the whisper of wind-stirred
foliage, in the ripple of waters and the
sigh OF swaying pines. There is health
and purest pleasure in store for those
who follow the windings of musical
trout-brook, or tramp long, breezy
miles behind staunch dogs-should not
woman enjoy these things? She may
never acquire the art of Juggling q
great flask of rye along during outings;
she may never master the intricate
problem of throwing responsibility of
misses upon the gun or the arnmuni-
tion-she may not even learn to lie
freely and persuasively about the num-
Der of fish she caught or OF the size Of
those that got away, but she can be
sportswoman true. and the sooner she
realizes this fact the better.

Peculiar Deposits OF Sediment Found ON
tho Coast of New Jersey.
Millions of years ago certain sedi-
m ents, which had their origin in the
washing away of conglomerate rocks
far to the northward. were
brought By water and laid
down over this part OF New
Jersey. From age to age the character
of the material changed according to
the source from which it was fetched.
Thus,in digging into the soil hereabout,
one finds it arranged in layers like
cake. First, says the Washington
Star, the spade will turn up red
brick clay. This deposit will extend
to depth of three or four feet. per

or clay quite different in appearance,
and speckled with iron. Underneath
the latter is layer technically termed
sire clay No. l." and below this is
sire clay No. O." Next comes a
"seamy" stratum. and finally layer of
what is called extra sandy" which is
at the bottom of the formation. All of
these clays are useful, being applied to
various purposes, according to char
acter and quality. They go through
processes of grinding and refining in
the factories by which they are freed
from impurities and made smooth and
perfectly plastic. Such is the raw
material, which is eventually turned
out in most beautiful shapes for deco
rating houses and for other purposes
of agricultural ornamentation. This
work at present employs artistic skill
of the very highes. order. The de-
