tered in groups through all the western
hunting districts. Duck shooting has
become an art in the past ten years.
Battery shooting, or shooting from
large boat sunk close to the level OF the
water, is not so favored in the West as
blind shooting, pass shooting ana
jumping the birds. 1t takes an old
hunter to build blind and to pick the
right place for its location. Seventeen
volumes Of directions would not edu-
cate person to become proficient in
the various kinds of duck hunting; it
takes nerve, skill, strength and endur-
ance with shotgun and oar to make an
adept.
Deer and turkeys may be shot up to
Jan. 1. Hounding the deer with dogs
is generally prohibited, and the fee
charged a nonresident hunter in the
deer States-about $25-enforces still
hunting. A 38-caliber rife is the wea-
pom most used, and thorough knowl-
edge of woodcraft, or the assistance of
an expert guide, is essential to bring
down the game finally.
The ruff1ed grouse season begins Oct.
/, and the birds are fairly plentiful.
They are found in woods, in alder thick
cts, and go in coveys of from 10 to 20.
This bird flies like bullet, and it takes
the best of snap shooting to bring him
down as he hurtles through the trees.
The jacksnipe affords ideal sport for
the gun, but should be shot only in the
spring. A man must be good walker
to hunt this bird, which haunts the
sparse grass around swamps. Doggy
meadows and corn fields are also fay
orite cover for the game.

AT What Age Is Man Strongest?

The muscles, in common with all the
organs of the body, have their stages of
development and decline; our physical
strength increases up to a certain age
and then decreases. Tests of the
strength of several thousands of people
have been made by means of a dynamo
meter strength measurer), and the fol-
lowing are given as the average figures
for the white race:
The lifting power" of a youth of II
years is 280 pounds; in his twentieth
year this increases to 800 pounds, and
in the thirtieth and thirty first years it
reaches it's height, 356 pounds. At the
end of the thirty-frst year the strength
begins to decline, very slowly at first.
BY the fortieth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at slightly increasing rate un-
til the f1ftieth year is reached, when
the figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached. It is not
possible to give statistics Of the decline
of strength after the fiftieth year, as it
varies to large extent in different in
dividualS.-The Strand,

The scheme of telegraphy without
wires has recently engaged the atten-
ton of DR.. Della Riccia of Liege, Bel
GUM. The United States Consul at
that place writes to the State Depart
ment that DR.. Riccia has made i'm
provements on apparatus already in
use, simplifying it and increasing its
power, and claims that he can confine
the oscillations of the transmitter to
any special point, to the exclusion of
all others. In case of communication
between war vessels or forts, the mes
sage could be transmitted to one alone;
in case of fog at sea the oscillations
would not be limited. DR.. Riccia, it is
said can make the presence of YES
sci known to another at a distance OF
thirty miles and telegraph real mes
sages seven miles. Similar expert
ments have recently been made upon
the English coast by electricians with
remarkable success.

New Industry in VIRGINIA

A new industry in this country is to
be established near Norfolk, Va. It is
an institution for extracting the oil
from peanuts. The prospectus of the
company announces that the product
from five tons Of peanuts will be 225
gallons Of oil, worth so cents a gallon:
$3.50 pounds of peanut -four, worth
z cents pound, and $3.50 pounds of
meal for stock feed, worth 60 cents per
100 pounds, which will make the value
OF the product $3.50 for each days oper-
atoms.
The peanut -four is used for making
bread, cakes, etc., which are used in
some Of the hospitals in Europe. It is
claimed that much of the CASTLE soan
of commerce is made from the oil Of
the peanut, and to that purpose the
product Of the Virginia mill will be
devoted.-Waverley Magazine.

THE GAME SEASON.
A TIME OF KEEN DELIGHT FOR
THE SPORTSMAN.
How Various Species of Game Are
Hunted by Enthusiastic Nimrods-
of the Central West.

It is pity that the game laws are so
different in the States, for the habits
of game are the same in the central
western country, aud the variation in
the laws breeds confusion. Thus, in
Illinois, quail shooting begins Oct. 1
and lasts sixty days, while in Indiana
the season does not begin until Nov. 10.
The rare hunting in Missouri, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Minnesota and Dakota
lures many an Eastern sportsman to
the West, and these and other Western
States have been obliged to adopt
stringent rules during the past few
years.
The best game bird with general
scope Of habitation is, of course, the
quail. Hardy, prolific, strong of wing
and lying well to dogs, it cannot be
surpassed for upland shooting. They
run an average Of about six weeks easy
shooting, but are away like rockets
with December. For the earlier shoot
ing a pointer is used, but setter is the

The brilliant success Of Gen. Sir Her
bert Kitchener i'll the capture of Khar-
toum, or rather Omdurman, which is
the modern Khartoum, will serve the
present British ministry as an excel
lent foil to the discredit of it's failure
in Asia. 1t will appeal very strongly
to the English masses which have cried
for revenge for the murder of Gordon
in much the same spirit that our own
masses demanded revenge for the de-
struction of the Maine. Beyond the
khalifa and the complete destruction of
his army has a deep significance. The
fall of khartoum has been expected
The expedition commanded by Sir Her
bert Kitchener was as carefully
planned as 1t was brilliantly executed.
The Egyptian army had been brought
out of disorder to state of disciplined
organization. The movement to Don
COLA and thence to Atbara was pros
porous and the advance toward Om-
durham was begun under the most as
surfing conditions. The Importance of
the problem that 1t was foreseen would
confront England as the result of the.
downfall of mahdism made success i'm
perative. Gen. Kitchener's victory re-
claims the Soudan for Egypt and re-
moves a constant menace to the govern
ment of the khedive. 1t opens the way
for the consummation of the ambitious
plan of Cecil Rhodes, who would con-
meet the Nile with the Zambesi and es-
tablish direct communication from
Cairo to the Cape. Great Britain is
now face to face with problem vital
to, it's occupation of Egypt, constant
source of embarrassment to the foreign
office. The provisional nature Of Brit
ish occupation has always been recog-
nized by conservative ministers. At the
same time it has been held that Egypt
could not be abandoned until the ex-
istence Of stable executive at Cairo
was a fact and lower Egypt secure
from external attack The last of these
conditions has, perhaps, been now full
filled. But the khedive and his minis
try are men of straw and Lord Cromer
is the real ruler of Egypt. The future
policy of England in Egypt is not to be
conjectured with any confidence of &C
curacy. The annexation of Bahr-el-
Ghazal, south of Khartoum, is urged
by powerful interests in British politics
and is apparently as strongly opposed
by others not less powerful There is
always to be considered the opposition
of France, which views with jealousy
and hostility the British position in
Egypt. 1t is q question whether Egypt
without the aid of Great Britain can
garrison and defend the Soudan against
native uprisings. The probability is
that re-enforcements must be sent from
England 1t is not likely that Great
Britain will permit the Soudan, of vast
Importance not only to Egypt but also
to British interests in central and
southern Africa. to be again placed in
jeopardy, and the fall of Khartoum
may be the means of prolonging rather
than diminishing the term of British
occupation of Egypt

The career of Elizabeth of Austria
reads more like romance than biog-
raphy or history. 1t was while on his
way to WOO and wed girl whom he
had never seen that Francis Joseph,
by chance, saw his future wife and
queen, then a girl of 16, but of remark
able beauty. His marriage was thus
one of romance and love, and this fact
did not little to endear him to his
people, though it procured for his
young wife and empress the jealousy
of the emperors mother, the Arch
duchess Sophia. The girl queen, how
ever, had more to recommend her than
the remarkable beauty which for
years made her renowned as the love
Hest woman of Europe. She was train
ed by one of the first scholars of Eu-
rope and proved worthy the reputation
of her instructor She was a remark
able linguist, musician and artist and,
still better, a woman of the noblest
type-one who, as the emperor touch
ingly said on hearing of her death,
''never in her life injured anybody"
Her fondness for outdoor sports had
much to do with her health and
beauty. She was famous as an eques-
trienne and after that sport had been
forbidden her by her physicians she
became equally noted as pedestrian,
often walking twenty or thirty miles
day, until she was forced to quit this
sport also. All in all she was, per-
haps, the most accomplished woman
of Europe and with all her accomplish
ments retained the white flower of
womanhood unsullied and died loved
by all.
