The subcaliber gun Is a small gun

OF every shot fired, every distance
from which it is fired. etc. Records
will also be kept Of the shots and the

LADY OIxIE'S OSTRICH HUNT
Story of Woman Who Objects to EN-
plOyment of Child Labor.

OymenN OF
Lady Florence Dixie. who has writ
ten to the president protesting against
the employment of child labor. is a
sister of the late Marquis of Queens
berry. says the New York Tribune.
She was once a great hunter and shot
lions in Africa, tigers in India. kan
garoOs in Australia, but now she fore
goes the sport and earnestly condemns
1t. Her experience in ostrich hunting
in Patagonia led to this change or
heart. DR. FentOn of Punta Arenas
tells the story of her hunt. Ostriches
are caught by means of bolus. or
bOla, as IL is sometimes called. long
lariat of braided hide with lump OF
lead or Il heavy stone at each end.
The hunter catches il In the middle,
whirls ii round his head in the air,
and when it has acquired sufficient
momentum and the bird is favOrably
located he lets go the lariat, which. If
properly aimed. winds itself around
| the legs of the ostrich and throws 1t
headlOng upon the sand. The hunter
then rides up and cuts the throat of
the bird or ties 1t until the poems have
plucked its feathers. In-the latter case
il is released and returns to the herd.
With good pony and a fair field the
sport is very exciting and is frequently
INDUCED in by the ycung men of Chile
and the Argentine Republic. and in for
mcr days people sometimes came out
from England To try it, like the mar
| quis and his sister. Lady Florence
rode out eagerly in the pampas, but
the first time she threw her bOla she
hit her native guide in the head with
the stone and killed him. That ended
the hunting. The grief of the widow
! OF the guide was aSsuaged with the
gift of f1OO. which made her the most
eligible woman i'm the community, ant

fering from a disease of the eye which
bars an immigrant from landing.

ONE OF QUOTATIONS. FREAKS.
Dull Pupils Generally Win Success
in Life While smart ones More
often Fail.

81 am almost discouraged by the
results Of popular education," said an
old teacher. For forty years I have
been teaching III the public schools Of
the city in which / live, and many Of
my earliest pupils are now men of
middle age. What discourages me is
that so many Of my brightest schol-
mrs have proved failures in the pro-
fessions, IN business, and in public
life, while the most successful Of our
citizens were, as rule, classed
among the dull pupils.
Five OF the leading lawyers in this
city we're my pupils. and they were
all below the average in scholarship,
department and punctuality Several
Of our most prominent business men
belong TO the same group, while
among physicians, engineers and min
listers find that some Of my dullest
pupils are in the front rank.
"On the other hand, some OF my
brightest and most promising sehol-
ars are little better than tramps,
and most OF them arc below the av-
eIagc in the avocations they have
chosen"

PREFER DEATH TO BLINDNESS
Two Startling Instances OF the Kind

they were appalled, by fedI-1t total
blindness. Miss Michael Yung, who
lived alone. but in comfort, in Gross
WARDEN, had been told by the doctors
that blindness was her unavoidable
fate, says a late account from Vienna.
She straightway had n large carving
knife sharpened, lay down on her bed
and cut her throat SO savagely that
her head was detached from the body,
rolled Oft the bed and was found on
the floor by those who entered the
room in the morning.

AppetixfnG Display of Good Things
10 Ent In the window OF
Restaurant.

Likely to catch the eye Of the passer-
by is the restaurant window display
consisting of big block Of artificial
Ice with an assortment of good things
10 eat frozen within 1t. Sometimes
fruits are thus displayed. and some
times vegetables; or fish, or game, or
crustacea, states the New York Sun.
Sometimes the display is composites;
and reveals some pattern or design.
Thus appearing in the crystal depths
of an ice block lately seen were two
fine shad, heads downward and meet
ing al the bottom of the cake, and each
fish holding in its mouth lemon.
Head downward thus. the forms of
these fishes. uncooked and so Of course
of their natural color, rose in the ice
block like the arms Of tall, but not
very widely opened letter V; and be-
tween the forms OF the two fishes was
placed a lobster, cooked and so. Of
course, red in color, making a striking
contrast TO the green gray of the two
shad. In freezing in fruits and veget-
ables and so on they use celery and
other things that permit Of effective
arrangement; and so this window dis
play consisting OF block Of ice with
things frozen in II may be easily made
one to attract attention.

HUNTS WITH TRAINED WOLVES
An Illinois Man Uses Two with Much
Success I'm Capturing
Rabbits.

Bert Decker, young sportsman
Of Tuscola, m, has succeeded in tam
ing two wolves, and they are very
valuable as hunters. Says a Charleston
NH) spondent Of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. Tie captured them
when young, raised them as kittens"
and now, though they are as large
as shepherd dogs, they are quite tame
and playful. Decker says the wolves
can outrun dogs on the hunt, and are
very long-winded Their favoritc
way Of catching a rabbit Is TO run
alondside OF him, put their nose un-
derneath Mr.. Colonial, and throw
him ten or twelve feet in tho air,
catching him in their mouths as he
falls. The wolves always return to
their master when called.
Decker's success has caused other
sportsmen 60 undertake the training
Of wolves to supplant dogs in hunt
ing, and IL is probable that wolves
will find q place i'm future kennels.

OLD PRovIDENTIAL WAYS.
Dinners That Were Much Like
Home Affairs.

II has been charged that Jefferson
banished courtly laws and introduced
stumbling manners. When the Madi-
sons took his place they sought to cs-
tablish the old order Of affairs. The
white house was gay with dances,
dinners, leyees and garden parties.
Some unkind diplomat has recorded
Mistress Dolly's dinners as being
more like harvest home suppers than
affairs OF state. There certainly was
a home-lilSc air about Mrs Madison's
affairs. 1t was during the Madison
regime that the custom of making
calls AT private houses on New Years
day was inaugurated at the capital.
II still survives there, ia spite OF the
fact that other social centers have
voted IL plebeian, says the National
Magazine. Jacksons reign IS ASSOC
ciated with the merriest, maddest
scenes the white house has ever
known. The fame Of his plebcian
suppers bids fair TO rival Washing
tons little Ratchet While his guests
smoked costly cigars ne blew whihs
from his corneob pipe, whitfield by his
own hand. His lavish entertainments
ate deep inroads in his salary. and IL
was his constant worry that his cot
ton crop would fail and leave him un-
able TO meet his expenses.
