QUAIL HUNTING IN EGYPT.
A Million IA Year Are Ensnnred by Il
Natives by Ingenious Methods.


Much has been said lately of the cap
ture Of quail in Egypt, touching tho
protest made by Frenchmen against
carrying the birds across French ter
ritory for English use. Until this mat
ter rose nobody seemed to know that
quail existed in Egypt; but they do-by
the million. The passage of bands OF
quail over the coast of the delta of the
Nile, from Port Said to Alexandria, be-
gins in September and last a month
and a 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 meshos very large and
loose, but on the back is another net
where the bird will really come and
perch itself in the folds formed by this
second net of small meshos. There IS
another method OF capture which is
moro picturesque. Rows OF drleI
branches are placed on the shore. A,
the foot Of each branch is disposed a
tuft Of fresh herbs in the middle CT
which is arranged an opening which
ends in q snare. The quail, tired ty
its journey, takes refuge in the
branch, then in the bunch Of herbs,
naturally, without figuring to itself
that it is going to put itself into a trap
where a native will surprise it and kill
it. With these perfected means OF
destruction, it is. not astonishing that
each year more than half million ,:
these poor little birds are taken.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

Wearing out NecdIessiy.

Many people wear themselves out
needlessly; their conscience is ty-
rant. An exaggerated sense of duty
leads person to anxious, ceaseless ac-
tivity, to be constantly doing some
thing, over-punctual, never idle sec
ond OF time, scorn to rest; such are in
unconscious nerve tension. They say
they have no time to rest. they have so
much to do, not thinking they are
rapidly uniting themselves for prob
ably what would have been their best
and greatest work in after years.
