ALL BIRDS NOT GEESE.
Decoys Do Not Always Work Success
fuIIy.


Despite the success with which de-
coys are sometimes used by skillful
hunters, birds, in the wild state al least,
are not easily deceived, says an ex-
change. Their sense OF hearing is pc
culiarly acute, and their instinct en-
aOles them instantly 10 detect the
slightest variation in the song of one
illustrated in the following true story:
4 bird catcher. wishing TO increase
his stock Of bullfnches, took out his
.aned twigS-i. e., twigs covered with
a strongly adhesive preparation, By
alight.ng on which the poor birds were
caught ike flies on sticky fy-paper-
and arranged them in what he coEsid-
cred a promising place. For decoy
lie took along a tame bullfnch in q
cage. Now it happened that this bird
was, for bul!inch, highly educated
cvercducatcb, in fact. AT first the de-
coy uttered a few natural notes, and
lis cry attracted several Of its kindred,
who posted themselves at little dis
lance, watching the bird in the cage

INSANITY FROM SHOCK.
Nervous Tempernments Become over

The pathetic recital OF the experience
Of the engineer'whose reason was shat
tered By his train running over and kill
ing two men, leads thoughtful persons
10 the contemplation Of the exceeding
frailty Of humanity and the awful
consequences TO the sensitive mind OF
such an accident as that which was
the real cause of the collision of two
trains.
OF highly nervous temperament, the
engineer, while he felt himself guiltless
OF murder, was yet so overcome with
the knowledge that he had taken two
lives that he was wholly unbalanced.
and probably in the most mechanical
way, with his hand on the lever, sent
his train along the tracks, completely

is oueof the most pitiful incidents in
the affair. Experts say that an en-
gineer can only pass through given
amount OF strain. and that once having
passed this point he is scarcely ac-
EQUITABLE for what he may do, says the
New York Ledger.
There is great difference in people,
however. as TO the effect which such
calamifies have upon them. People OF
stolid and unimpressible temperaments
may pass through such experiences

but it is a dangerous thing for the
sensitive, highly organized mind TO be
placed In such an awful nosition.

THEY HAVE TROUBLES.
A Book Dealer Given Advice by a
Stranger.


Stranger.
Book dealers have their troubles as
well as other people. They probably
answer more questions than a railway
station agent or the bright young man
who presdes at the window of bureau
of information Office, says the Dallas
(Tex.) News.
A Main street dealer was not sur
prised, therefore, the other day when a
clerical-looking stranger walked into
his place Of business and began to look
around.
"Have you got The Woman in White
by Collins?" he inquired.
OF course the dealer had it, and was
only too anxious to make sale.
"IIave you got All Alone which is
also by Collins?" the quiet stranger
continued.
Sure the dealer had it, and by this
time he became interested.
II forgot the author, but there is n
book called In the Dark that is said to
be very fine"
BY that time the dealer had all the
books on his counter and was prepar.
ing TO wrap them up.
"Never mind" said the stranger. 81
don't want to buy. l merely want to
suggest that IL You have The Woman
in White All Alone and In the Dark
that you have a good thing. Good day,
SIR"
And the dealer is looking for his min.
isterial visitor to kick him around the
block.
