dom. however. is he successful In The
attempt, fear and exhaustion gener-
ally end the matter as tho hawk
wishes.
A great many ducks crippled By
gunners will make for the marshes.
where they hide; and sometimes II
fortunate and not too severely wound
ed they will recover. But even here
they are not safe; the prowling fox or
mink will strike their trail among
the sedge, and often catch them when
they venture too near the shore.
Out in the deeper part of the marsh
ducks must exercise the greatest eau
ton when feeding; for when the dusk
of evening settles down on lake and
fen, and the mystery Of the twilight
reigns, a most dangerous foe-the
still hunting owl"-comes from the
darkening woods, and on silent
wing the great bird quarters the
marsh backward and forward with
the thoroughness of a well-trainec
hound. Still hunting is the higt
art Of sport and the big owls are
experts in their way.

Trnvoleh I.ll,e a PrIneeas.

A little girl came into this port on
the St. Paul on Saturday. She was
but z years OF age and was travelling
alone. She could speak only Swedish,
had no money, was in no ones spe-
clal charge, and yet no great lady,
travelling with a retinue of servants,
would have received more polite and
chivalrous attention than was accord
cd this little kid from over seas.
A piece of sheepskin was tied about
her neck and upon it we're these
words:
Chris Thompson, Fort Collins, Col
Orado. Please forward"
She was sent by her grandparents
in Sweden TO her father and mother,
1ho are in the employ Of Mr.. Thomp-
son, at the place above indicated. Her
fare and keep had been paid in adj
vance.
The officers on the ship, the passen-
gers. the men in charge of the docks
the railroad officials to whom she was
consigned, did everything within theii
power for her safety and the increas'
Of her happiness. If she had eaten al
that was offered her she could hav

The Duck. Hawks Strategy.

The wild ducks lot is not happy
one, at least when a hawk has singled
it out as it's prey. How the duck
conducts it's campaign is told In the
ST. Nicholas
The wild duck possesses a large
bump. of curiosity, and may attimes be
brought within shot by taking adVan-
tage of this trait; but, ordinarily, it
Is your wits against theirs, and this
is Ine great charm Of the sport.
It is exciting to watch the duck
hawk in pursuit Of his prey. Given
an open field with the quarry, it is
astonishing to witness the exhibition
of speed by these thoroughbred" rae
ers. The hawk will often Oyertake
and strike a duck in the air. though
he seems to prefer to single out from
some flock, and, if possible, force him
to dive. AS the duck comes to the sur
face to breathe, the hawk Is ut hand
and down goes the duck once more
This is repeated until the poor ducl
is almost exhausted; and when thC
duck pauses a second too long at thu
surface the hawk pounces and the duel
is secured.
There is wonderful sagacity shown
by these birds in forcing diving duel
away from the reeds into open water
They seem loathe to exert themselve
sufficiently to capture their game o.

A Bear in a Trap.

There were days at a time when
there was nothing doing in bear
traps. The real rushing business did
not begin until about the first of June
when the moose calves had got big
enough to run fast. Then Henry dis
covered to his great joy that the
bears had begun marking anew their
striking trees. The trapper who takes
possession of a stream by blazing trees
with his ak is only initiating a GUS
tom that was old before Elisha studied
bear culture The big bears stand up
as high as they can by certain trees
and mark them with their teeth. Each
year they bite them anew, at the be-
ginning of summer and Henry showed
me several freshly struck trees one
day "That bear is an old settler,
said Henry, as we looked at the bites
on the tree, higher than a tall mans
head. So he related the nearest traps
and burnt the feathers of a loon which
had come too close to camp. Il think
he will smell those burnt feathers g
mile" said Henry. Also he toasted
cheese and stuck bits Of it in cleft
sticks about the neighborhood to ge
the bear interested.
This diabolism worked its SPELL fo1
on approaching the trap, three day
later, we heard roars and bowls
quarter of a mile away. The bear hat
become entangled in a snarl of blow
downs, and having fought the trap an
bushes for hours, lay fat on his bac
as we approached, wailing his despair
Henry said he never heard a bea
make so much noise.
There was a great difference in tn
way the bears acted. Some of thel
tried to get away, some became fl
rious at our coming. But all Of thel
took the final blow quietly, and die
instantly.-Frederic Irland, in Scril
ner's.

RIDING IN A MOTOR VEHICLE.

How II Feels to Gaze Through Goggles On
a Landscape That Rushes at You.
Until the other day my experiences
of motor riding had not been worth
mentioning. had been on motor,
of course, both here and over the way,
and l had seen something of its capa-
bilities of upsetting, not merely my
self and other people, but the idea
I had entertained Of the relations OF
time and space. Still, the most had
seen a motor do in the vicinity OF
Paris had been done at the rate OF
two-something miles an hour, while,
I'm London, where, as yet, its per-
formances are viewed with less IN
dulgent eye, one-something per hour
had been about its record. However,
I had been offered the opportunity OF
seeing the veteran fairly extended,
as one used to say of a horse; and,
as l am still fond Of new experiences,
l closed with the offer.
The first thing I learned was that
you cannot ride a motor, when extern
sion is contemplated, without a GER
tain prescribed mode of habiliment;
and thus, I presently found myself in
gogsles and a tapped cap, constructed
! Go tie under the chin, and a water
proof jumper. In this guise was pro-
! nounced ready for the road and we
took it, 1t is unnecessary to recount
what the particular road was that we
tool, to. Suffice it that at that ma
tutinal hour we had it pretty we'll tn
ourselves and that it's condition was
not unfavorable to free and easy loco
motion. So, from one-something the
motor got into twO-something, and
that process of extension was gradu-
ally continued, until, from the indica-
ton afforded by the milestones, | con
cluded she must be doing nearer four
something than three.
I have an idea that somebody else
who looked like mounted county pc
liceman, arrived at much the same
conclusion, and was rather inclined Il
tell us so. However, he though
better of it, for we certainl
left him, as who should say, STANDING
still. We seemed to leave a goo
many people like that. And yet tree
and houses rather rushed at us, an

A Innnnese Rnbr Prince.

The baby prince born a short time
ago in the palace of the Prince I'M
perial in Japan has been the cause Of
unusual rejoicing even to the remotest
corners of the kingdom, for he is the
first son born to an empress for many
generations, and some day, if he lives,
he will become the Mikado. The Jan
anese have a strange legend, that the
white storks which make their nests
in the palace gardens never use the
three topomost boughs of the tall
pines to build in when a girl is to be
born. This year, the Japanese declare,
the storks built their nests at the top
of the trees in honor Of the little
prince. After the birth of the royal
child, the legend says, the storks rise,
and spreading wide their wings, fly
far away through the blue sky to carry
the glad news to all Japan. That Is
why one sees pictures Of flying storks
on Japanese trays and fans and lacquer
boxes, or a dozen other things, for any
thing bearing the likeness Of one of
these messengers Of good tidings is be-
lieved to be a gift of good omen.
On the birthday of the prince, all
through the country wherever the news
had been received, the houses were
gayly decorated with two Japanese
flags crossed above a white lantern, on
which was the motto, Long life to the
Mikado." In the palace itself many
curious customs, handed down from
ancient times, were repeated with sol
emn pomp.
One of the funniest Of these cere
monies Is to throw from the rOofan OLE
wooden rice boiler Nearly three thou
sand years ago, when all the building
were loosely built, tradition says tina
when the Emperor's son was born tn
roof of the palace let in the snow an
rain and the Empress was in danger c
catching cold. Then the Emperor too

layers of thin wooden boxes, and mad
a covering to keep out the wet. Frol
this idea roof matching was invented
and to show that the old boiler is n
longer in use it is thrown to II

+ Another time honored custom is thi
of sending a messenger as soon as Il
= baby is born to carry the news to Il
6 temple of the Mikados. A woman a
q ways performs this duty She takes
4 rox of beautiful white wood, decorat,
: with the sixteen leave. chrysanth

|, l5ados. The box is bound with lol

/ tenth Mikado. nearly 1000 years az
m the same ceremony has been repeat
ID whenever a little prince came If
