of the country. To shoot him requires
quick action, steady nerve and. espe-

of the fact that he flies with wonderful
rapidity.
The finest dark -meated bird that flies
is the woOdcOck, the little russet-coat-
ed fowl that has no song and seeks no
companionship, and yet Is as eagerly
sought for by the keen sportsman as is
the trout, the grayling, and the small
mouthed bass by the angler. Woodcock
is at a great premium for the table
with the epicure and the bon vivant,
but 1t has an instructive way of foiling
the ambitious hunter. 1t Is not at home
to the casual wanderer through fields
and woods, and must be sought for in
the deepest and most tangled swamps,
where it hides at the approach of dan
ger and can only be induced to take
wing by the nearest approach. Then

alder paths and other less-impeded low
grounds where he industriously bores
for the worms that are his almost ex-
elusive diet. In tramping for wood
cock in a country like this, where game
Is plenty, you are almost sure to rout
out some partridge and are thus given
! sport by two of the most difficult
birds that attract the hunter.

he has deserted the ladies as entirely
as he has shed his pink coat; mighty
few petticoats are seen in these out
fits. There are few women who hunt
with their husbands, bur they are few
and far between. Woman doesn't take
naturally to the joy of the hunting
field, and, besides, when the chicken fe-
yer gets into Il mans bones, he hasn't
much use for the sex.
Hunting is a relic of savagery, and
the truly masculine man wants to get
off by himself when his fingers itch
for the feel of the shotgun. And yet,
queerly enough, though woman does
not care for hunting, she admires the
hunter Immensely. To her he repre-
sents the strong man, next to the SOL
dier, and strength seems always good
in a woman's eyes. The man accepts
her admiration, but while he really en-
joys her company at times ON the ten
mis- court and golf links, and tolerates
1t on a fishing trip, he looks on petit
coats as decidedly out of place when
he starts out for the prairie or the
marsh. Perhaps this is the reason why
he gets himself up in costume in
which no woman would look at him
twice.

ries of the chase, or courtly edict made

And the blood of the sportsman runs
as warm now as when some rude chief
tain or haif-barbarous Diana led the
course. But it is not to the sentiment
or history of hunting that this article
addresses itself. Neither is it proposed
TO visit the haunts of the wild boar re-
served for imperial sacrifice, to follow
the hounds over the range within
which he is predestined to give brave
men and fair women holiday, nor to

Man might as we'll initiate the habit
of the foolish canine and bay at the
moon as to attempt to prevent hail
storms by the use of explosives or by
any agencies that are now under his
control. This is the substance of the
advice embodied in a recent statement
issued by Prof. Willis L. Moore. acting
Secretary of Agriculture. The state
ment was called out by manifestations
of renewed interest in the subject in
various parts of the world, particularly
in France and Italy. Attempts have
lately been made to prevent hailstorms
by the use of explosives from especial
ly designed cannon, but all have ended
in failure. Prof. Moore calls attention
to the fact that scientists in both Eu-
rope and America have shown the i'm
possibility of interfering with the great
processes of nature that are going on in
the atmosphere. Basing their belief
on such knowledge of the forces of ma
ture as science has revealed, they af-
firm that no explosive that can ever be
invented by man will be powerful
enough to prevent hallstorms. The at
tempt TO prevent hailstorms in this way
is as futile as the efforts of the rain
makers" of few years ago, who were
seized with the notion that the use of
high explosives would attract clouds
and produce rainfall. Thousands of
dollars were expended in these absurd
experiments only to demonstrate that
Jupiter Pluvius pays no heed to mans
puny but noisy efforts TO interfere with
his plans. The hail shooters, 1t Is OBJ
served, are using practically the same
methods to dissipate the clouds that
the rainmakers used to attract them or
produce them. Hail prevention and
rain making are beyond the reach of
human skill and daring. They repre-
sent processes of such vast and poten-
tial sweep as to mock the efforts of
man to control them.

The experience of Buffalo is discour-
aging to those who are planning similar
undertakings elsewhere. But great ex-
hibitions should never be projected with
any idea of immediate profit. The Cen
tennial did not pay for itself, yet it was
one of the very best investments that
Philadelphians ever made and of meal
culable benefit to the whole nation. No
one can pretend to estimate the univer-
sal gain from the great Columbian fair,
If only in the aesthetic interest it
awakened, and Chicago has profited
from it largely, although 1t must have
involved at the time heavy financial
loss in that community. The value of
an exhibition is not to be measured by
its receipts and expenses, but by its
character and influence.

A Man of Metal.

The Iron Chancellor" has disappear
ed, says the Westminster Gazette, but
there is still Teuton very much alive
who is "a man of iron" in an almost lit.
eral sense of the term. This came out
few days ago when a young German
porter Dragged at public house that
he was man of iron. since a sports
man had discharged at least ninety
grains of shot into his back. He would
have nothing to do with surgeons.
wherefore his brother had removed
about half of the load" by the simple
expedlent of cutting the shots out with
a knife. The story was presently
brought before the authorities, and the
porter was medically examined, with
the result that his story proved abso-
lutely true. His back and arms were
"larded" with lead balls, which he car
ried about without any discomfort
whatever. The reason for his reluc-
tance to approach a surgeon seems to
have been that the sportsman who had
thus marked him was a gamekeeper
and it was while he was on poaching
expedition that Ill luck thus befell him.

An evidence Of higher civilization in
our universities is seen in the fact that
Cornell has adopted resolutions against
all petty and indiscriminate rushes.
The single rush which is to take the
place Of its senseless predecessors Is an
organized rush in which two teams of
fifteen men each endeavor to get DOS
session of a flag. The struggle is to
last only for few minutes, when the
team having the larger number of
hands on the flag Is declared the win
ner. This solution of the rush problem
is settled in a rational and democratic
way. The students themselves saw the
senselessness and brutality of the old
sport and made their own rules as be-
comes citizens of a free government.
On the very day when Cornell reached
this decision the authorities of McGill
University, Montreal, met and decided
that undergraduate rushes must be
given up. 1t is significant fact that
the spirit of self-government in the Uni
ted States accomplished in a far more
credltable way the end sought to be
gained in Canada by law and external
authority.

The Boer war has demonstrated that
the notion of military affairs in Eng
land is wrong and that of warfare
obsolete. If we may trust report the
famed armies of Germany and France
are not ordered on much better un-
derstanding. The old European idea
of massive formation, Of automatic pre-
cision in drill, Of parade excellence
still answers the ideal. Armies, how
ever large, made up In this way can
make little impression on the loose for

ship and individual initiative that char

Bagging the prairie chicken in these
days is very difficult proposition from
the old-time easy shooting over a dog
on the stubble-fields, and the man who
brings home birds has earned them.
The reason Of this is that the prairie
chicken has adapted his habits to his
surroundings. No longer does he stay
in the stubble-fields, an easy prey to
man and dog. Nowadays he hides in
the cornfields, and it is no joke to find
chickens In corn six to eight feet high,
or to shoot them when found. The
best chicken dog that ever came to
point is practically useless in a corn
field, and when the covey gets up tbs

Among the wild ducks, as table de-
licacy, epicures that are connoisseurs
give the canvas-back a place of un-
questionable supremacy. Conformity
with the toothsome terrapin it holds
the honor of comforting upon Baltimore
the title of gastronomic capital of the
nation. Though this idol Of the edu-
Gated palate ranges the Atlantic coast
even to the ice-bound regions of the
north, the odds are overwhelming that
If 1t be shot outside of Chesapeake Bay
or the waters of the Susquehanna as
they open into 1t. the game will be so
tough and fishy as to be ordered away
when served. This is through no pc
culiar virtue of the water In the bay
or tributary river, nor Is II the result of
climatic influence. In the shadows
there are found vast beds of wild cell
cry. Feeding upon it gives to the can
vas-back, and also to the closely re-
lated red-head, the exclusive flavor
which tickles the cultivated taste. As
rule genuine sportsmen there shoot
from "blinds." which are any sort of
artificial concealment in boat or on
shore, and use decoys, while the mar
ket gunnerS carry on their slaughter
with the aid of ''sink boats" and night
refiectors. In the wholesale methods
of destruction employed by those who
kill to sell there is little to attract the
sportsmen: statement that is true
wherever water fowls are shot.
Belonging to the same royal family
with the canvas-back are the mallards
and teal. found abundantly in many
States. No other ducks are so widely

Before the opening of the spring they
begin their migration from the South,
flying swiftly while they travel, yet
tarrying wherever inviting conditions
present themselves until instinct as
sures them that their destination in the
far north is comfortably habtable.
Mallards are frequently found before
departing for the south reveling in corn
helds, grain stubble or wooded places
The mallard never affords a daintier
dish than when fattened from such
bases of supply They are shot from
boats, over decoys and from blinds on
shore. The sportsman who can call
them is in luck, and he who knows best
the ways of the wary duck will bring
back the most game, for he can find 1t
