Cock Shooting In Tall Corn,

Cock shooting in tall corn is as easy
to the expert as it is puzZling to the
novice You will, of course, work with
the rows, not across them, and if you
are wise you will shoot at every
glimpse of a bird and very frequently
after an instant's sight of him, when
you can only guess where he is. Sharp
work, say ye, my masters. Yes, in a
measure, but not so wonderful after all.
You certainly must be ever ready and
swift and smooth in action, but actual
sight Of the bird at the instant of pull
ing trigger is not necessary.
Green corn won't stop even fine shot,
and your charge will give a pattern as
big as bushel basket; hence the shak-
ing of a leaf the flick of Il vanishing
wing, are enough for the master of the
art. In an instant his gun is on the
spot where a species of lightning cal
culation tells him the bird should be,
and the trigger is pressed without the
slightest delay. The difficulty with the
novice is to get him to shoot at once in
stead Of waiting in vain for a clear
view. Experts kill bird after bird in
this way. The novice must dismiss all
thoughts of empty shells. No good
sportsman worries over misses. though
he will learn from failures how to hold
next time. There is no royal road to
success In the field. Nothing but eX-
perience really counts. SO let the nov
Ice crack away, although he may only
get one bird in ten. We all know what
he'll get If he doesn't shoot at ALL

Made 1t Fit the Name.

RED Rock, y. y" said a man who
spent some time there, isn't much Of
a place, but there is something inter
esting about it that | fancy all the
world doesn't know. The present name
Is not the one ii has always borne. and
what it's other name was | don't know.
Whatever it was the people did not
like it and concluded they would
change it. There was no particular
reason why they should call it Red
Rock, but that was determined upon,
and so Red Rock it became
Then in the course of time strangers
Of an inqriring turn of mind began to
ask why the place had such name,
and as no reason could be given new
corners to the neighborhood began to
want a name that meant something.
This insistence grew so strong that the
old residents began to look around for
a reason for the name of their place,
and at last they found a huge bowlder
near by which they said was what had
suggested the name. But the bowlder
was gray instead of red, and the pro-
gressists insisted that that would not
do. At last the old timers hit upon a
new plan, and, procuring barrel of red
paint, they painted the big rock red.
Red Rock indeed it was now, and not
only was all opposition to the name
overcome, but the painting of the rock
every spring has become an annual
festival, and the people celebrate it
with a big picnic and general celebra-
ton.

in his principles of economies Pro-
fessor Marshall saws that perhaps
$5O0,000,O00 annually is spent by the
working classes and $1,000, 100000 by
the rest of the population of England
In ways th1t do little or nothing to-

pier The presidential address before
the economic section of the British as
Rc.ation at its recent Bradford meet
i-g by Henry Higgins was devoted to
proving the above statement by point
ing out the many ways in which, large
ly through ignorance, the working
classes absolutely throw money away.
The simple item Of food waste alone Is
almost enough, according to Mr.. Hig-
gins, to Justify the above figures. The
women do not know how to buy eco
nomically, and owing to the large num-
Der who are now practically brought
up in factories very few of them are
passable cooks or even good housekeep-
ers. Housekeeping of even the hum
bier sort is an art. To know what Is
the cheapest food from the point Of
view Of contained nutriment, how TO
cook 1t to the best advantage and how
not to have any waste does not come
to a woman by intuition. AS Mr.. Hig-
gins says, If more knowledge and time
were devoted TO the teaching Of cook
ing In our schools the meals of most
families would be more varied, more
appetizing and nutritious and much
more economical Mr.. Atkinson has
estimated that the waste of food in the
United States from bad cooking alone
is over 81, 900, 100000 a year. In speak
Ing Of expensive habits, such as liquor
drinking and smoking, Mr.. Higgins re-
fers to the latter as the most econom-
fcal of recreations. How else for in
stance, could the Harz miner give
himself an agreeable sensation a thou

Higgins suggests, when in large indus
trial towns the entire preparation OF
meals will be in the hands of special
lists, Just as the originally domestic OPP

This is an English story, and, strange
as it may seem, it made a hit when it
was told at the Lambs club, says the
New York Telegraph. 1t was perpe-
trated by Lawrence d'Orsay, the Eng
lsh actor. Several members Of the
club spun yarns Of dubious merit,
when Mr.. d'Orsay in his peculiar way
began:
"Now, gentlemen, I'll relate a story"
One man present pulled out his
watch and they all thought it was 60
ing to be a serial. One or two started
to 20, but the actor stopped them by
his assurance that the story wouldn't
be very long.
There was a friend Of mine in Lon.
don" he said, "who was an incessant
cigarette smoker. Finally he lost his
memory. Then he forgot to smoke Gig
arettes, and he got well again"
Mr.. d'Orsay effected his escape
through the assistance of a friend whC
knew him when he didn't tell such sto
ries.

century, especially among the rural in

retained to this date although the adj
vance of civilization has almost exter-
minated superstition and has refined
manners. Besides the customs still re-
tanned the Swede had formerly much
to keep in mind at Christmas. Nothing
that necessitated a rotary motion
should be done on Christmas day. Any
body who visited a neighbor on that
day ran the risk of getting boiled water
thrown in his face. On Christmas eve
straw must be laid on the floor for the
children to play in and for the mem
bers of the family to sleep on during
the night.
holiday in Sweden. The Swedes Of to-
day are more temperate than those of
olden times, but no miser is 50 mean
that he does not prepare well for
Christmas, and no home is so poor that
it is not then better provided than
usual with the essentials of good liv-
ing. Especially in the rural home the
housewife is for many days 5usily en-
gagged in preparations for the great
holiday. Bread of different kinds must
be baked, Christmas beer brewed. the
Christmas pig killed and sausage made,
the dried lingfish must be soaked in
lye, and everything must be scrubbed
and cleaned. On Christmas eve as
much animal food is cooked as the
house can afford, and in certain homes
where old customs are retained the din
ner is eaten in the kitchen, and every
body dips his bread in the hot broth in
which the pork has been boiled. The
day before Christmas is therefore of
ten in jest called the great dipping
day." In order that all bel gS shall be
