Beasts OF Prey That Play ON the Curiosity
Of Their Natural Food.
A writer In well known sporting paper
tells how no and friend lay down behind
log one day and watched for flock of
canyasbaok ducks to come into the broad
river. Pretty soon I'm came flock of thou
sands that aliehtod 800 yards from the
shore and began TO plume themselves,
duck fashion. One OF the men tied his red
handkerchief on the end of stick and be-
gan to wave IL at intervals In sight OF the
ducks. The ducks began to cock their
heads sideways, and after awhile they pe-
gan to swim toward the log. They came
within 90 yards, and the men jumped up,
and one got 10 and the other 10 ducks with
the four discharges.
The panther on the plains of Patagonia
gots as near herd of guanacos as IL can,
then lies down bohind bush on Its back
1t puts one paw up In the air. then an
other, then the third and fourth, and after
a bit all four at once. That seems curious
to the guanacos, and they come close to
investigate. Up jumps the panther and
lights on the nearest one s back and breaks
Its neck
A fox up In Nova Scotia comes down to
the bay Of Fundy and goes jumping along
the beach a couple Of rods and back again,
rising on its hind legs at each about face
and waving its big tail In the air The
little flock of four or five Canada geese out
on the water begin to wonder what Jan be
the matter with the fox. They swim up
into tho shallow water to investigate
when In dashes the fox and grabs one by
the neck. The men have taken advantage
Of this trick and have trained dogs TO do
as the fox does. For lack OF a dog men
themselves have ambed about on their
hands and knees to attract tho birds.
A wild house cat, black as coal, was seen
by a hunter walking slowly up and down
a level stretch of sand near an old house
on the Connecticut river. Three black
ducks were far out In the river, and, like
the geese, came swimming slowly In, out
Of curiosity, but the man could not wait
to SEQ what would happen. He killed all
three ducks with his gun.-New York Sun,

LONGING.


The hills slope down TO the valley. the streams
run down 10 the sea.
And my heart. my heart oh. far ono. sets and
strains toward thee.
But only tho feet of the mountain are felt by
the rim Of the plain.
And the source ami soul a the hurrying
stream reach not the calling main.
Tho dawn Is sick for the daylight. the morning
yearns Tor the noon.
And the twilight signs for the evening star and
the rising of the moon.
But the dawn and tho daylight never were
seen In the selfsame skies,
And the cleaning dies OF its own desire whom
the morn and the stars arise.
The springtime calls to the summer, "Oh
mingle your life with mine"
And summer TO autumn 'plaineth low, "Must
the harvest be oniythinef'
But the nightingale goes when the swallow
comes. ere the leaf Is the blossom fed,
And when autumn sits ON her golden sheave
then the reign Of the rose IL dead.
And hunger and thirst, and wall and want
are lost In the empty air.
And the heavenly spirit vaiply pines for the
touch Of the earthly fair.
And the hills slope down to the valley, the
streams run down To the sea,
And my heart my heart Oh far one, sets and
strains toward thee.

HANGING WAS DISCUSSED,
Several Presbyterian Preachers
Favored Capital Pun
iShment.
Congregational Ministers All Attended
the Bay Association.
Meeting.

Rev. Francis King gave an address on
capital punishment before the Presby-
terrain Ministerial Association yesterday
morning, which had the result of eliciting
that the clergymen present held widely
different views on the subject.
The speaker, while not arbitrarily de-
claring for the abolition of capital punish
ment, adduced considerable evidence in
favor of its abolition. He gave review
OF history showing the vast category of
crimes committed as penalties for fancied
or real transgressions, all in the name of
justice, and he added that it would be in
teresting to trace also the gradual growth
OF public conscience as it passed out OF the
period which gave license to all manner of
crime in the name of justice, and he in
tImated that in time the public conscience
would learn to look upon the judicial
taking of life as crime.
In the discussion Rev. DR.. Farrand adj
vocated capital punishment. 1--WE ought
10 have more of it," he said. Rev. J.
Woodward stated that he had attended
two or three hangings, which had given
him serse of relief when the drop went
down. we feel the purifying effect to-
day OF the hanging of Casey and Cora by
the Vigilance Committee in 1856" he said.
Rev. DIR. Minton believed in capital pun
ishment. So did Rev Dr. Bevier. DR..
Scott thought that capital punishment
had nothing to do with the increase or de-
crease OF crime. In his opinion capital
punishment was responsible for 80 per
cent OF the crimes committed.

owing to the Brown case, but it was nothing
of the kind. Any one who does that only does
1t to secure a little notoriety. 1t is very I'M
becoming to say the least
Rev. j. +. Bushnell. pastor of the Eng
lish Lutheran Church and secretary of the
Oakland Ministerial Union, says:
have no patience with men who attempt to
use the Brown case to get into the public print
by announcing that they will not receive
ladies at the church studies hereafter. 1t is
sheer nonsense. l do not believe ministers
should be so ready TO rush into the public
prints as some have shown themselves to be.
1t is altogether unchristlike and only results
in an injury to the cause for which we are
laboring. The time could be spent better in
some work TO relieve the sufferings of mankind
Rev. c. II. Hobart, pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Oakland, says:
My study has always been in the church and
can see no good reason for changing it at
present L have never had any trouble regard
ing people coming to my study and have no
fear that ever shall. 1t would be rather hard
on women as class to say that it was not safe
for the ministers of California to have study
in their church.
Rev. Campbell Coyle, assistant pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of Oakland,
says:
There is good point raised in the position
OF ministers having their studies at their resi-
dences, but do not think any fuss should be
raised over the subject. I believe the general
visiting should be at the pastors home but
during ONCE hours any one having business
should be admitted at the church study This
is the way manage it, and I have no trouble
