L0TpOII GAIIE SHOPS.
Esnglishmen Msy Have Their Choice
from the Best Of Wild Fowl
Viaf ElieS.


TO the naturalist, and in some cases
to the gastrono!nist, the wild fowl in
the London shops are even more inter-
asting than the game. The first rush
Of the duck, teal and widgeon finds its
way TO the market at about the end
# the first week in October. and FROM
hat time till December these three
standard ducks for the table form
The main part of the supply. Their
numbers are supplied equally by Eng
and and Holland, though it is noted
shat the Drtch ducks are nearly all
nallards, not more than 10 in leo be-
ing females. In one large dealers shop
in Leadenhail market the writer saw
a mountain" OF 1900 wild duck, teal
and widgeon, all freshly Killed. which
arrived from Rotterdam on the morn
ing of November Il.
Some duck come from France to Lon
don. This was shown by curious
piece of circumstantial evidence. II
the inland lagoons and lakes in the
Landes, near Bordeaux, ducks are reg
ularly shot by means of decoys. Tubs
are sunk in the water for the gunner
TO stand iii, sometimes backed by
subsidiary tub to hold his water poodle,
and the decoy ducks are fastened to
strings sorae six yards apart. The gun
is carefully laid so as to shoot down
the lane between The rows Of decoys,
and the gunner waits until enough wild
birds are collected and then lets fly.
The decoy ducks are a cross between
the wild Gallard and the white tame
ducks, partly that they may be dis
tinguished by their color. One OF. these
French ''decoy ducks was included in
batch of foreign wild fowl on sale
in game shop in October. It had APP
parently been taken in a real "dccoy"
with others, as its neck was broken, and
1t was not shot.
In December the "fancy ducks" ana
wild brent geese appear. The brent is
small blacll-necked goose, OF quiet
and elegant plumage. When plucled it
is not much larger than tame duck.
Last year they were early on the mar
ket, and few bernicle geese, another
black and white sea goose, a1so APP
peared. The usual price asked for a
brent goose is two shil!ings six pence,
but little bargaining reduces him TO
two shillings, as there is little demand
for any out-of-the-way fowl. Birds of
the year bred in the arctic circle and
fed later on sea grass round our coasts
are excellent. They may be eaten with
in three or four days of being shot. The
breast is as good as that of wild duck,
though the legs are apt to have a slight
ly fishy favor. The pochard, a red
headed duck, almost as large as NAL
lard, is not common, but when it can
be had is better even than teal.-Corn-
hill Magazine.

A REPRESENTATIVE PIRATE.
Sense OF Honor and HIS Name
. Became n Terror.

1t is said that Kidd showed no re-
sisted that he was the victim Of ma
licicus persons who swore falsely
against him.. And yet mere thorough
" dishonest rascal never sailed under
the black flag. In the Guise of an ac-
credited officer of the government. he
committed the crimes he was sent cut
to suppress;s he deceived his men; he
robbed and misused his feiloW-coTntry-
men and his friends; and he even de-
sccnded to- the aeanness Of cheating
and despoiling the natives Of the Wesi
Indian islands with whom lie traded
These people were in the habit of sup
pEying pirates with food and ether ne
cessaries, and they always found their
rough customers entirely honest and
willing to pay for what they received,
fer as the pirates made practice CT
stopping at certain POINTS fer supplies
they wished, of course, to be on good
terms with those who furnished them.
But Kidd had no ideas of~honor toward
people of high Or low degree. He would
trade with the natives as if he intended
to treat them fairly and pay for all he
got, but when the time came for him
to depart and he was ready to weigh an
chor, lie would seize all the ccmmodi-
ties he could lay his hands on, and with
out paying copper to the distressed
and Indignant Indians he would gayly
sail away, his black flag Haunting de-
risively in the wind.
But although in reality Capt. Kidd
was no hero, he has been known Cor
century and more as the great Amer
lean pirate, and his name has been rep
resentatiYe CT piracy ever since. Years
after he had been hung, when people
heard that vessel with black flag
or one which looked black in the dis
tance-fying FROM its rigging had been
seen, they forgot that the famous pirate
was dead, and imagined that Capt. Kidd
was visiting their part of the coast in
order that he might find good place to
bury some treasure which it was no
longer safe for him to carry about

TIME FOR A PLEA OF GUILTY.
A COIored Man Who Had the Entire
State of Iowa Against Him.
Old Age Fiction.

An Iowa judge was telling stories in
a hotel lobby, and he related an anus
ing incident that had occurred in his
court when colored man was brought
up for some petty offense. The charge
was read, and as the statement "the
state of Iowa against John Jones" was
made in loud voice the colored mans
eyes bulged nearly out of their sockets
and he seemed perfectly overcome with
terror and astonishment. When he was
asked if be had anything to say he plead
ed guilty or not guilty he gasped out:
"Well, yo' honoh. eff de whole state O.
Iowa is agin this one pore niger, Use
gwine to give up right now!"
Not once out of hundred times can
an old colored man tell you his age, and
even if he knew he would be more than
apt to make himself out much older
than he really is. After middle life they
all seem to feel that it adds dignity and
much increases their merits and value to
be considered extremely cid. The abb
surdity as to statements of length Of
years lived never strikes them. In a
southern family which always spends
its winters in Washington lives an old
man named jeff, who has been with
them and the previous generation for
more years than they can remember.
He is certainly pretty old himself, so his
mistress was rather surprised this win
ter when be asked to Lave few days
off to CO." as he put it, "up to de ole state
of New Haven to see his aunt.
"Why, JEFF" snid the lady, your aunt
must be old. isn't she?"
"Yes'm," he replied, "yes'm, my aunt
must be pretty ole now-she's about a
hundred an five years ole now"
"a hundred and five years. exclaimed
the lady, "why, what OH earth is she do
ing up there in New Haven?"
"'Deed, 1 don't know what's she's do
in, ma'am," rejoined JEFF in all serious
ness. "She's up dere liyin' with heI
grandmother" Tribune.

"mrs. wales and Daughters"

When in the country the princess of
Wales delights in making little expedi-
tions incognito. An amusing and true
story has just leaked out about one of
these impromptu excursions .at Sand
ringham. Her royal highness, with the
two princesses, had driven long dis
tance from home in her favorite pony
cart, and as lunch drew near they were
glad to put up at picturesque village
inn. The landlord had his suspicious as
10 vino his guests were, and after lunch
had been served brought the visitors
book. Whereupon the princess, not to
be outdone, made the following entry:

Tho Parishe. of Louisiana.

The parishes Of Louisiana which bor-
der along the coast of the Gulf of Mex
leo, from Red river to the Sabine, and
which are called sometimes the '.sca-
marsh parishes" are nine in number
These sea marshes remain as testimony
to the interrupted operations of the
Mississippi riyer-interrupted by the
building of leyees on the rivers banks
which, before the age of civilization
in Louisiana, were slowly and year by
year filing up the marshes so as to con-
vert them by the deposits of the mud
OF the river into the solid ground of the
continent, as the rest of the lowlards of
Louisiana had been similarly trans
formed into terra frIna. AS rule,
with the exception of Orleans parish,
in which is situated the city OF New Or
leans, the population of these parishes
is small, being composed mainly of the
planters who live upon the banks Of the
Mississippi and of the many bayous that
intersect these parishes, together with
fishermen and hupters.-N. 0. Picayune.

CANADA'S POPULATION.
The Majority In Her Ecuse OF Com
mons Moving from the East
to the West.

The shifting of the majority of the
Dominion house of commons from the
eastern to the western portion OF
Canada, which has been going on slow
~ since the union of the provinces, is
likely to be greatly accelerated now.
In the first parliament after the union
there were only SO members for all of
Canada west of the Ottawa, ard GO for
the portion east Of the Ottawa river.
In the present house there are 10i r1eIn-
bers from the east and 109 from the
west. The expectation among those
who watch the drift of population is
that the redistribution of the parlia-
mentary representation, following upon
the census of 1901, will add materially
not only to the western contingent at
the expense OF the east, but also to tie
total number of the vests representa-
tives.
The province of Quebec is holding it's
population much better than during
the last census period. This means thut
there will be several thousands more
of population to each of the 65 members
to whom she is entitled. As result
the population unit, per member, in the
other provinces must be increased also.
In the maritime provinces, where the
natural increase Of population still
drifts largely TO the western portion of
the Dominion or to the United States,
a reduction in the representation will
be inevitable. The increase of popula-
ton in the west will more than make
up for this shrinkage, Unless western
prophets are entirely too sanguine,
there will be a population Of at least
100000 between Lake Superior and the
Pacific by the end of the century. The
fact that the west will be in few years
hold the control of political power in
the Dominion is becoming more and
more apparent to public mem. !.
