AcKsNIp IN CHICAGO.
Unexpected Sport on tAs Links Of q
Swell Golf Club.


Chicago is not only a great city in
population, wealth, hogs, beeves and
culture, but probably, says the New
York Sun, it is the only metropolis
in the world which furnishes excel
lent spring jacksnipe shooting.
Along its busy lake front people
have been shooting mallards and teal
for years, but not many of its citizens
know that within its limits is as fnea
bit of snipe ground as any man, pro-
fessional or amateur, would wish to
see. The Illinois law permits snipe
shooting until April 26 and up to that
day Of this year guns were cracking
merrily in Riverside, a southern part
Of the city which has a swell golf club
as well as good wing sport.
The snipe began coming in about
April 10 and members forsook their
caddies and caddy bags. A lot of the
populace showed up and as the shoot
ing was outside of the club grounds
the club members could say nothing.
Trains which run every five minutes
in the rush hours took gunners down
and guns, and the war was worth look
ing at.
That part of the city contains a
good deal Of lowland which in a wet
season is a promising marsh, and
there is plenty Of grass and weeds Cor
cover. There is a long, shallow pond
also and birds were plentiful near its
edges.
There is a law against discharging
firearms within the city limits, unless
a policeman is called on to shoot some
body in the leg while trying to de-
stroy a mad dog, but nobody paid any
attention to the law and the patrol
men said nothing. Some wounded
birds were lost by flying a half mile
and dropping upon a business street.
where they were picked up by the
hurrying throngs, but in the main the
snipe were retrieved without trouble
The shooting lasted for more thar
two weeks and got better as it got
older. There were many birds LEFT
when the law closed down.
To give an idea Of the character Of
the sport it may be said that scores
Of from Is to 30 snipe were otter
made in a day and one man baggeC
three dozen. This means that under
the most favorable circumstances a
least so shells were expended, which
is a good enough day for anybody.
The birds reached Riverside from
the south in fine condition and werI
made fatter by the rich pickings the.
found there.

NEW FOOD FOR HENS.
G%rasshOppers Are Now Gathered and
Pressed Into Bricks.

In many places grasshoppers are
being put to a new use. The farmers
have killed incredible numbers of
them by the help Of a machine which
is, perhaps, the most effective ever
devised for the purpose. 1t is called
a "hopperdozer," and is nothing more
nor less than a large fiat pan, with a
small amount of paraffin containedin
a depression in the ear part of it.
The continuance, being attached to a
horse, is pushed along in front of the
animal as the latter is driven across
the fields. Pretty nearly every grass
hopper encountered jumps upon the
pan, and is promptly suffocated by
the %parafin.
Until quite recently these grass
hoppers have been burnt as a means
of getting rid of them, but now the
farmers have found that as a foodfor
poultry the grasshopper is unbeaten.
The hoppers after being killed are
left in burrows in the fields, where
they are soon dried. When they have
been exposed to the sur for a sufi-
Gent time to reduce them to a prop
erly desiccated condition they are
gathered up with rakes, shoveledint
cars and conveyed to a shed, where
they are put into a press somewhat
resembling an ordinary cheese press,
and converted into solid bricks.
The bricks are shipped in q%uanti-
ties to poultry raisers, who find this
new kind of hen provender most sat.
isfactory, and they are anxious to get
more of it. Apparently it is a great
encourager Of egg production.-Lon

SONG spARRows.
Differ in Color Of Flumage, But Sing
Same Notes.


Same Notes.
1t is an easy matter to become ac-
quainted with song sparrows, says
Country Life in America. They live
everywhere in our country except in
the most arid desert lands and in the
southern row Of states, and are to be
found all through the year except in
the very most northern states. AS is
usual with SO broadly diffused a spe-
cies, there are several distinct geo
graphical races, most ofthem grading
into each other as the characters Of
their habitants change. Thus, inthe
deserts of Utah and Arizona we find a
form very pale and dusty in color,
while in the heavily forested and
brush-grown regions west of the Sier-
ras we have a song sparrow that is
very deep brown. Again, as we go up
the Pacific coast the bird retains its
dark colors as far north as there is
heavy vegetation, but keeps getting
larger and more robust, until by the
time we have reached the island Of
Kadiak we find a song sparrow dark
gray and brown in color, butnearly as
large as a chewink. Kadiaki is the last
point at which there is any tidewater
forestation. Beyond this island we
find another resident form Of song
sparrow, fully the equal of the Kad-
lax bird in size and robustness, but,
being necessarily an inhabitant of the
open and shadeless shores of the
north land, it is pale gray and brown,
instead Of the deep colors Of its near
est relative. While the actual tones
and shades of color differ greatly in
the extreme cases Of these geograph-
ical races, the pattern and general
scheme Of marking in all are iden-
teal.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about the song sparrow group is the
fact that the song in every case is the
some sweet-spirited one that we are
familiar with in the eastern states.
can hardly describe the feeling that
came to the bird lovers Of our party
as we neared the wharf Of the Rus
sian town of Kadiak, to be greeted
from the roof tree of the dockhoust
by the perfectly familiar melody Of
our eastern song sparrow.

"The Meteor" and ''The Worlds Fair
Special" to the Frisco System.

The route OF this flyer is via our old
line, through the Ozarks aud Indian Ter
ritory to Sapula, thence over the Red
River Division through the historic Greek
Chickasaw Nations, via Denison and
Sherman, to Fort Worth and points
Southwest thereof; and via Sherman aud
the Houston q Texas Central Rail-
road to Dallas aud Beyond. The more
newly-constructed portion Of the roadbed
~traversed has been heavily ballasted with
rock, laid with heavy rail, and 10 every
way brought fully up to the standard of
other divisions OF the Frisco System.
The train will be made up of entirely new
equipment throughout, carrying place
Day Coaches, Reclining Chair Cars, Pull
man Drawing Room Sleepers and
CAFE OBSERVATION CARS,
In which meals a la carte will be served
at hours convenient to thu traveller.
This service will be under the manage
ment Of Mr.. Fred. Harvey, whose name
should be sufficient guarantee Of careful
attention to the inner man. Just word
about these cars: The dining room is To-
Gated in the forward end. The rear por.
tion Of this car is occupied by an obser.
walton saloon, and is provided with easy
chairs, writing decks and stationery, and
a library service embracing the leading
daily papers and the more popular weekly
periodicals. The train will be lighted
by electricity, and cooled by electric fans
during the summer months.
TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.
The inauguration Of service OF
this character means quite as much to
its patrons as it does to the railway COM
pany interested. II we we're not sauguine
OF the success OF this train, it goes with
out saying that it would never have been
established. 1t fills a long-ielt want and
opens a new and fast developing country.
But we feel that these are not the only
factors that may reasonably be expe riC
contribute to It's success-tbe time Is fast
the train is a "handy" one, as regards
hours Of arrival at and departure from
termini; and the equipment is ornate, and
provided with all modern convenience es.
These features should, OF themselves,
tend to make the train popular.
We also take pleasure 10 announcing
material improvements in our service via
Fort Smith and Paris to Texas and tie
