SHE WAS NO HAWK.

On Saturday evening a few pedestrians
on East Park avenue off Main, saw an
encounter between two persons not often
seen in he Copper City, where a variety
OF unusual things happen now and then.
The parties to the %oun were wo-
men, one on each side. and a third n
to spare. who was a looker-on and did
not take issues with the women, who
went at each other with fists after i'm
proved style. Early in the evening the
three women. We're friends, at least they
were out shopping together. and thus
visited several stores. They reside east
avenue which may account for the fight
coming off on that thoroughfare. The
cause OF the encounter is unknown, but
harsh names We're used and blows fol-
lowed. 1t appeared to be a 10-round con-
test, but only three rounds We're fought
when one of the participants became de-
tracted by a man whom she understood
called her a hawk. She was mistaken,
because the man who yelled hawk was
II. c. Geiske, the most popular man on
the Great Northern railway, who wit
messed the trouble from the beginning
and had called his friend Harry Hawk,
who works for the same to
come and see the fuss. The woman thus
attracted, Or ~detracted, from the fight
was wOrsted, and contented herself by
roasting the men,. who escaped beyond
the hearing of her tongue, which was
turned upon them. All of the women are
married and one of them has but re-

NETTING QUAILS IN EGYPT.

There has been much said lately of the
capture of quails in Egypt in regard to
the protest made by Frenchmen about
carrying the birds across French terri
tory for English use. The passage Of
bands Of Guails over the coast of the
delta of the Nile, from Port Said to
Alexandria,, begins in September and
lasts a month and a half. the birds ar
irving in little groups.
Generally they are taken by means of
nets five meters high, which the natives
extend on cords fastened to poles in the
fashion of curtains gliding 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 at the back is
another net where the bird will really
come and perch itself in the folds formed
by this net of small meshes.
There is another method of capturing
which is more picturesque. Rows of
dried branches are placed on the shore.
At the fot of each branch is disposed a
tuft of fresh herbs, in the middle Of
which is arranged ar opening which ends
in a. snare. The quail. tired by it's jour-
pey, 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 and kill It.. With these means
OF destruction, it is not astonishing that
each year more h a a million of these
birds are taken.-New York Sun.
