How the Young Elbow the Old.

=. How the Young Elbow the Old.
"The part of wisdom Is not to drop
ones tasks too early, not to be in haste
to retire from posts Of influence and
duty" writes Margaret e. Sangster in
the Ladies' Home Journal. "Insensi-
bly, the young, with a certain uncon-
scious arrogance, elbow the old out of
the way, and monopolize the places in
every profession and branch Of busi-
ness. Yet the young are not lowered
with experience, nor have they the
ripper judgment of maturity. But they
do have what age has often lost-en-
thusiasm, self-confidence and pluck.
Old people are sometimes out Of touch
with the present age. They have
ceased to be receptive; they have
grown mentally inhospitable and inert.
Is there, however, the slightest reason
why q woman should rust out through
mere Incidence before she has done the
full measure Of service required by her
Master for the time in which she lives
AS q teacher. as an artist, as a house
mistress and mother, in whatever field
you are, my friend, do not withdraw
from active duty too soon. There is
need at the front for the woman of
warm heart and trained capacity for
affairs, and her age is of little conse-
quence If she Is equal to her work.
There never was time when the
judgment Of mature age was more
needed than it Is to-day"

oUAIL-HuNTING IN EGYPT.
Half Million a Year Ensnared by
Natives.

Half a Million a Year Ensnared by
Natives.
Much has been said lately of the cap
ture of quail in Egypt, touching the
protest made by Frenchmen against
carrying the birds across French terri
tory for English use. Until this mat
ter rose nobody seemed to know that
quail existed in Egypt, but they do
by the millions.
The passage of bands Of quail over
the coast of the delta of the Nile, from
Port Said to Alexandria, begins in Sep
tember and lasts a month and q half,
the birds arriving in little groups and
alighting on the dunes.
Generally the chase is made by means
Of nets of five meters high, which the
natives extend on cords fastened to
poles, in the fashion of curtains glid-
ing on their rods.
In reality the net is double. The first
near the side of the sea is of meshes
very large and loose, but on the back
is another net where the bird will real
ly come and perch itself in the folds
formed by this second net Of small
meshes. There is another method Of
capture which is more picturesque
Rows of dried branches are placed on
the shore. At the foot of each branch
is disposed a tuft of fresh herbs, in
the middle of which is arranged an
opening which ends in snare. The
quail, tired by its journey, takes refuge
in the branch, without figuring to itself
that it is going to put itself into trap
where native will surprise It and kill
1t. With these perfected means of de-
struction, 1t is not astonishing that each
year more than half million of these

wHERs LITTLE EMlnls1ER.LuvEo

Barrie's Home Is in Thrums, the Scene
of Several of His Stories.
Mary B. Mullett, writing of '"The
Real Thrums of Barrie" in the Ladies'
Home Journal, tells of seeing the fa-
nous novelist at the railway station in
Kirriemuir Thrums) "to which the
family party walked together. Mrs.
Barrie first, slight figure in brown
and scarlet, more English in dress than
in face, holding her head rather proud
ly and walking confidently-she was on
the stage before her marriage. With
her was Miss Barrie, quietly dressed,
rather colorless woman, not one to draw
attention from the three men who fol-
lowed her. The taliest Of these three,
the one in ministerial black q high
hat on his snowy head. was DR.. Ogilvy,
brother to Barrie's mother. The other
white haired man-doubled over, as are
so many in this land of looms, and
wearing great hobnailed shoes, for he
likes to take care of the pretty garden
at the top of the brae-was Barrie's
father. Between them was slight
figure Of boyish slenderness. Though
small, he was not dapper, and we
breathed a sigh of relief. As he turn
ed we looked at his face with eager
ness.
'It Is a thin, dark face, almost hag-
gard; delicate, sensitive, wistful some
how, but stronger than we had expect
ed it to be. The dominating sadness OF
his face makes almost real shadow
over it. He smiled once or twice, but
his face did not once really light up.
But sad and thin as it was, it is face
that one would not soon forget-yes,
and that one would be glad to remem'
ber."

Kinaness Cures a Bad Habit.

Horses often have what Is called the
vice of shying, that Is, Of starting sud
denly at the rustic of leaf or piece
Of paper, or at the approach Of any
object to which they are not accus-
toned. Clearly this is the remnant OF
an instinct inherited from their wild
progenitors in the steppes or prairies,
where the sudden rustling Of. a leaf
might indicate the presence Of wolf,
and where everything that was strange
was, therefore, suspicious.
It is idle as well as cruel to beat q
horse for shying. That only increases
his alarm, and may easily reduce him
to the state of terror in which he loses
his head entirely. Horses in that state
seem to lose not only their heads, but
their perceptive senses, and horse in
that condition may dash headlong
against stone wall. The habit Of shy
ing, when once formed, Is difficult to
cure, but it may almost always be pre-
vented by such consistent kindness Of
treatment as to overpower the inherited
instinct of instant flight from possible
danger in which the habit nrigipa fRa -

djustment of Quotations the Lead
ing Features of Trade.
Bradstreet's says: Readjustments oi
price quotations to meet the changed
condition of supply and demand are
still the leading features of the general
trade. In volume the business doing
is of q between-season character, i'm.
proyement in some lines being counter
balanced by increased dullness in othel
branches. That the basic conditions OF
the trade are in the main of q favorable
nature, however, is proved by the con.
tinued good railroad earnings returns
which come to hand. The fact seems
to be that the volume of business offer
ed the transportation interests of the
country continues considerably in ex.
cess of q year ago. Crop reports are
relatively most favorable as regards
corn and oats. In the Southwest,
wheat crop prospects are still main
tained at high average. In the
Northwest wheat has been helped by
late rains, but owing to their late ar.
rival it is not certain how much bene'
fit was obtained thereby.
The hand to mouth domestic demand
for iron and steel continues, but the
number of small orders received is
Southern pig and steel rails note
most inquiry. The situation in the
pipe market is no better, and plates are
weaker. Concessions of fractions of q
dollar are apparently easily obtained
for pig iron, but throughout the trade
the feeling is rather more cheerful, the
feeling being that lower prices will on
the one hand encourage consumptive
demands, and, on the other hand, tend
to restrict production by less economi'
cal plants. -

no connecting or adjusting of parts
necessary, the scale being ready for
instant use as soon as the case is open
ed. Another good idea in this design
Is to have a sliding beam scale, so that
there Is no picking out and manipula-
ton of weights, the beam weight be-
ing simply adjusted at the proper point
on the beam to balance the opposite
pan and it's contents, when its weight
can be read on the scale at once. This
arrangement also secures great stabil-
ity, as the box, when opened, forms
the base for the scales, and prevents
their being toppled over when in use.

ALASKA BOUNDARY.
United states aud British Surveyors to
Establish the Line Named In the
hTodus vfvsndi.

The American members of the inter.
national commission appointed to sur.
vey and mark out the Alaska boundary
line at Lynn canal, under the modus
vivendi, arrived in Seattle from WASH
ington. and will proceed to Victoria,
where they will meet the two British
members OF the commission. The
American menmbe bers are G. H. T1lman,
assistant superintendent of the United
States coast and geological survey, and
his assistant, o. B. French. They are
gathering statistics and Information
here concerning the matter they nave
in hand. Mr.. Tiilman said it would
requile probably two months to COM
plete the survey. The line will be
marked with the usual monuments,
stakes, etc. On Chilkoot and White
passes, monuments of a permanent char
acter will be set up, so that there may
be no possible dispute at these points
as to the exact location of the line.
"We are simply to ascertain the To-
cation and mark out for the guidance
of all persons the line established by
the modus vivendi between England
and the United States," said Mr.. Til
man. "This line was agreed to in o.
tober, 1899, after several months OF ne
gotiation. 1t is by no means per-
manent or established boundary line
beyond the terms and life of the modus
vivendi. Our work will be necessarily
technical and not diplomatic, although
we are operating under the direction,
in this instance of the department oi
state, at Washington. The distance to
be surveyed is about 25 miles,"
Mr.. Tilman expects to begin active
work in the field about June Is. He
and Mr.. French will meet the Cana.
dian commissioners at Victoria. They
are w. F. King and J. L. Macarthur.
A party of about IL men will be taken
along to assist in the field work. The
expenses of the survey are to be shared
equally by the two countries.
