SOME OBSERVATIONS.
By V. q. B.

In England it requires seven years to
learn trade. Close application and
study to that thing therefore which one
is to make his life work, for such a
length of time, must well qualify him for
business. In America we are too eager
ting is so taxed that we leave the quail
fication for a calling out of the question.
l was reading an article the other day
which said that we had to go abroad for
skilled labor When asked the cause
for this the writer said it was due t. the
general antipathy of young Americans
to learn a trade. American youth can
not wait to prepare himself for his life
work, he is too anxious to forge ahead.
But such an apprenticeship could be
required of young men in this country
and then there would be ample time to
acquire success in any calling. Some of
the best work in Literature and Art and
in the sciences has been accomplished by
men beyond fifty. Ben Franklin was
beyond fifty when be began the study
OF science and philosophy, so of Milton
and many other distinguished writer's.
1t is not a mistake then for the Ameri-
can youth to want to see results too
soon. Let us be patient then and make
very thorough such things as we wish to
undertake or map out for our life work.

This too in Breckenridge. Well what of
it. Nothing, unless it be to check the
erroneous idea that things do not and
cannot be made to look better out in the
country among our farm lands. Good
roads are a condition to an end. When
you drive over them it is a pleasure and
a 10y and II the adjacent lands are made
to comport with the look of a we'll
balanced and we'll graded road, you have
a view around you of which you may
feel proud. And a good road will move
the adjacent land owner to straighten
out and brighten up his premises as a
matter Of pride. Both OF these condi-
tions will appear to the eye of the
traveller at many points along this road
for many miles from Hardinsburg to
Long lick. Long Lick, the church, so
called, sits on an elevation same distance
above the creek, surrounded by grove
of beautiful oaks. 1t is an old historic
spot. The Catholics have worshipped
here for years and years and its very
name bears precious memory to humid
reds OF them. Their present church
house is comparatively new and is COM
modious and comfortable. 1t was built
by James Rogers, of Cloverport.

my silence could be heard a. mile away. Very soon after taking our stands a faint streak in the eastern sky warned us that daylight would soon be with us and with it the ducks, if any. About this time with a splash and a whirr, up rose flock of mal- lards that had been sitting on the water scarcely thirty yards away. Of course neither Of us had our guns in hand, as we were not expecting any thing so soon, nor did we dream of any ducks remaining in the neighbor- hood after all the noise we had made
 While we were discussing this mat ter we could hear flock of widgeons coming. When they hove in sight they were too high, but after circling several times they came in range of my friends gun. He let go both bar rels and succeeded in bringing down two.-For the next fifteen or twen, y minutes great numbers came down the river and occasionally a flock go- ing up, but the majority were too high. We, however, bagged fifteen of them, four mallard, six sprig, and five widgeon.

 quarter of the match recorded three
 misses, his seventeenth, twentieth
 and twenty-fourth, while in the last twenty-five he failed to stop his fourth, ninth and twentieth. The last two fell dead out Of bounds. Gil
 bert missed his tenth and twenty fourth birds in his first twenty-five. They dropped dead out of bounds. He shot his second string straight, missed
 his fifteenth in the third quarter, and then shot straight until his twenty second in the last string, a grand total of 96 kills. This makes the fifth
 match between these parties, Gilbert winning four out of the five. In the first race, Gilbert, 95; Elliot, 94; sec ond race, Gilbert, 97 Elliot, 97; in the shootloff, Gilbert, 25; Elliot, 24; third

 is no doubt a good shot, as his scores
 will show, but Fred Gilbert Is a bet
 ter one. In addition, MT. Gilbert's
 winning is very pleasing to the ma
 jority of sportsmen throughout the
 United States, as he is very popular. Ducks are reported more plentiful than ever, especially since this last cold snap, which has evidently driven
 them out of the small streams and lakes of the mountains. The all-day shooting is not, however, good, except at a considerable distance from Phoe- | nix. The reservation sloughs seem to
 be about the only place that entices i them to remain all day. Morning
 flight shooting is very good. but one
 must waste considerable ammunition, as the ducks fly rather high, their evi- | dent inclination being to pick grass off the stars. A few mornings ago the
 writer, accompanied by a friend, aried
 a whirl at them. We crawled out of
