CENTRAL AFRICAN HUNTING.
Big Dirds of Countless Kinds Ready

Big HtrdG OF Countless Kinds Ready
for the Gun of the sDortsman.
Theme is great sport awaiting the
wild-fowl hunters who press across the
dry deserts of the North Kalahari to
the Botletli or Lake river, as it is usual
ly called. This is where the pelicans,
ilamingoes. ibises, storSs, cranes, her
ons, fishing eagles, jaconOs, coots, rails
and other aquatic birds unknown to
most sportsmen rub bills with ducks,
geese, widgeons and teal in countless
hosts, Offering bird shooting the like
of which can scarcely be found else
where.
The water fowl of south Central Afri-
ca when the Botletli overfows during
the dry season, as it does every year
from April to August, gather in the
great marshes. There are also side
shots to be taken daily with rifles at
giraffes, wilde beest, gemsbok, spring
box and other desert and woods crea-
lures. The camp is made in an, open
grove of camelthorn and motjeerie trees
on a piece of rising ground. Near by
is a big lagoon, and at daybreak wild
the hunters do, with loaded guns. A
little sneak, which need not be too care
fully made, brings the shooters within
range, and geese fall Topping TO the
ground before the sun rises.
Rare leohive-a kind of water birch
may be seen occasionally on still
hunting expeditions.
Near lagoons Egyptian geese, black
and white spur-winged geese, knob
billed geese, yellow-billed ducks, red
billed teal. Cape widgeon, Widow Tree
ducks, dark brown African soehards,
avocets and lean plover may be seen
gathered on or about the water, with
other birds as beautiful and as game.
A shot puts them to flight, and for
hours one may shoot them as they come
and go in screaming hocks, and one
may travel from lagoon to lagoon and
shoot with no interval of waiting for
the game. 1t is all warm weather shoot

THE JAPANESE AND DEATH.
Their DecorOus Dcmeanor when At
tending Funerals.


/ have just spoken of the Japanese as
behaving simply at funerals. That IS
only partially correct. They are quiet
butnot quite simple-so quiet that their
manner seems simple. As a matter OF
fact, they take an elaborate part in the
prescribed rites, bowling here, bending
there. strewing prayers 70 the right
and sweetmeats to the left. But it is all
done with good accent and with good
discretion" They have the art Of arts,
the art that hides art. Let me dwell
upon this thought moment Let me
put it another way. for it is one Of the
most beautiful things that can be said
of the japanese. They have learned TO
apply TO life and to art (their life and
art are almost one) the great art prin-
ciples that Hamlet proclaimed to the
players. They, in the very torrent,
tempest and the whirlwind of passion
have acquired and begot a temperance
that gives it smoothness. They are not
"too tame" Discretion is their tutor,
and they o'erstep not the modesty of ma
ture. And on no other occasion is this
splendid national characteristic of
smooth, discreet behavior and appro-
pirate action so noticeable or so CRATE
fulaswhen a number of japanese gather
together about the deathbed. the coffin
or the grave of friend or kinsman.
The japanese are as courteous as they
are theatrical and artistic. Their cour-
tesy end their art are closely allied.
Their keen sense Of courtesy. and their
unfagging practice of it, has. believe,
as much to do with the quietness and
fitness of their funerals as has their fine
artistic instinct. They are as a nation
even prouder and more studious, think
of their courtesy than of their artistic
excellence. Cry; it will do you good! "

A Noble Conception of n Soldiers
Duty TO Ills Friend.
In the "reminiscences of Gen. Sir
Evelyn Wood, himself q brave English
soldier, a touching instance of courage
and self-sacrifce is given, says an ex-
change. One June day in 1885 de-
tachment of English marines was cross
ing the Woronzow road under fire from
the Russian batteries. All of the men
reached shelter in the trenches except
q seaman, John Blewitt. AS he was
running q terrific roar was heard. His
mates knew the voice of a huge can
non, the terror of the army, and
yelled:
"LoolS outl It is Whistling Diclel"
But at the moment Blewitt was struck
By the enormous mass of iron on the
knees and thrown to the ground. lie
called to his special chum:
"Oh, Welch, save mel"
The fuse was kissing, but Stephen
Welch ran out of the trenches and,
seizing the great shell, tried to roll it
off Of his comrade.
1t exploded with such terrific force
that not an atom of the bodies of
Blewitt or Welch was found. Even in
that time, when each hour had its eX-
citement, this deed of heroism stirred
the whole English army One of the
officers searched out Welch's old moth
er in her poor home and undertook her
support while she lived, and the story
Of his death helped his comrades to
nobler conceptions Of a soldiers duty.

One Of the closest bargains on. record
is thus described by a Phillips (Me)
man. He says the trade involved pair
of steers with a sled, horse and sled,
and side of beef. Finally he offered
TO the other man big cut of the beef
to bind the bargain, and he supposed it
would be speedily settled, until his
friend commenced to hesitate and look
the beef over critically. Finally he
said: "Neow, William. if you'll make it

''That hat PIN" said young woman
on The elevated, as she arranged her

Herald, "has been stepped i'm gorel"
"How awful" whispered her friend.
"Was it employed on a burglar?
"No; on a crowder."

"a crowder is Il creature who is pc

He is the man who getsinto a car where

en-, who dare not resent his imperti-
nence. Then he coolly reads a news

'1've met the specimen often, but
what can you do?" inquired the friend.
"Well," said the athletic young wom-
an, "if had been a man l would have
bounced him from the car. Butin that
case he would not have crowded. dare
say looked as meek as Moses, but I
had a scheme to get even and worked

some Things That Would Happen II
Experimcntalists Had Their Way.
The reversibility of the physical
processes Of nature has latterly been the
subject of interesting comment, says
Cassier's Magazine. Lord Kelvin, for
example. has been credited with saying
that all of them, no matter how com
pick they might appear TO the human
senses, consist in reality Of the motions
of invisible molecules, and if, therefore,
by some means, all these molecules
could, at the same time, be made to move
in exactly the opposite direction, and
each with the same velocity that it
possessed at the moment, all the world
would begin and continue to move back
ward; waterfalls would flow up the
sides of cliffs; rivers would run upward
from the sea; rain would rise; full
blown flowers would shrink into buds
and plants dwindle into seedlings, man
himself would become young again,
passing from old age to infancy. just
what kind of pictures such a topsy-
turvy world would present may be seen
with linetoscope running backward.
Prof. Queroult, according to report, has
made observations in this line, and some
time ago communicated them to the
French academy of science.

STRENGTHENING M. E. DIFFICULTIES,

ANCES APPEARED.

ANOEo Ar IDAhNJ.
About sixteen Of the twenty-five Off
cial men of New Castle NJ r. Church
changed their minds last evening and
attended quarterly conference, al
though they gave DR.. Barrett, the pre-
siding elder, cool welcome. There
was a stormy argument, lasting about
an hour, during which time the presid-
ing elder endeavored to set himself
straight before the officials, but failing
finally said:
well, brethren, l have no more to
say; lay all the blame upon me-"
Then after calling each other to
account. two or three brethren
blamed the whole business on the news
spapers. the Evening Journal in
particular and declared that a re-
porter Of that paper had secreted him
self where the officials were in execu-
tive session. The member making this
statement was either too much excited
to know what he was talking about, or
wilfully violated the ninth command
ment.
Wide-awake reporters had no diff
Guilty to ascertain an about the recent
church disturbances, even in another
town, as was the case with the Evening
Journal reporter on each occasion OF
Methodist official 'caucusses."
Il was generally admitted that the
trouble is all over among the brethren
until the next time.

Mice That Replace with other Arti-
cIes All the Things They steal.
There is q mouse in Florida locally
known as the trading mouse. tits com
monty a woods mouse, but it quickly
adapts itself to human habitation. A
colony Of such mice carried two bushels
of shelled beans 30 feet during six
nights recently and replaced the beans
with seed pods of n weed. Jewelry, too,
has been taken by these little traders,
says the New York Sun. One woman on
the east coast of Florida at an Indian
river winter resort found number of
seed instead of pair Of earrings that
she had left on the bureau. A search in
the place where the seeds had been
taken disclosed the earrings.
A man who had box of poker chips
in his room in an open-topped box was
surprised to find in their stead a string
of prayer beads, small crucifix, and n
number of shells. He started an investi-
cation Immediately. A priest who had
roomed near by was equally puzzled by
finding the colored poker chips in his
room.
1t is generally believed that the trad
ing mouse learns its curious ways by
robbing squirrels or blue jays of nuts
laid by for future use.

rho rcnrl Industry Waning.

Fine pearls are often damaged by too
much haste on the part of the pearl fish
er to get them out of the shells. Pearl
diving used TO be an important and val
liable industry on the coast of Mozam-
bique. Now, according to United States
Consul Hollis, the industry is very small.
Bazaruto Kaffirs still continue TO fish
for rearls. but as they roast the oysters
instead Of letting them rot the pearls
are always more or less damaged by
heat. The Bazaruto pearls. as well as
a few that are obtained near the mouth
of the Rovuma, are shipped by the IN
dian traders to Bombay and Zanzibar.
Some years ago, writes Consul Hollis.
a concession was granted by the Portu-
ruese government for a company of
American pearl divers to exploit the re-
puted rich pearl fisheries of the Baza-
ruto islands, which are situated a few
miles from the coast and about midway
between Inhainbane and Beira. An at
tempt was made to work the concession,
but il is recorded bH the American con-
sui that "bad management. lack OF
funds, heavy expenses and political diff
ficulties combined to kill the enter
prise" The pearl diver is gradually
