WING SHOOTING.
Grisvous Errors OF Mon who Arc Not
Used to Hunting.

8rievous Errors OF Mon who Arc Not
Used TO Hunting.
Men who are not in the habit Of
hunting a great deal" said an old dis
ciple of Nimrod, make the most
grievous errors in the matter of shoot
ing at things on the wing, as we say.
AS rule. most men who have little
experience In such matters. and who
never take the trouble to think, shoot
too quickly. The fact of the business
Is. the very things they shoot at fly
more slowly than many of the birds
of smaller variety. Observers have
made calculations in this country,
and in England and France, which
show the speed of birds of different
kinds, and they have reached the con-
clusion that there is a deal of decep-
ton about the business. Take the
humming bird, for instance, the small
est thing in the kingdom of birds
he seems to simply pass like a flash,
and yet he does not make the speed of
many birds that are larger and more
awkward In appearance. II is esti-
25 miles an hour. Probably the next
lowest thing in the list is the quail,
which flies at about the rate of 35
miles an hour The prairie chicken
flies at about the same rate OF speed.
Duck, elder and wild geese go at a gait
OF about 40 miles, mallards and can
vasbacks reaching an average little
higher, making about As miles. Teal
ducks over so miles in an hour. Car
rier pigeons make about the same
time. The marten flies at the rate of
60 miles an hour. and the swallow
probably reaches the highest average
In making 65 miles an hour which Is
a little above a mile a minute. You
can get some idea of the expenditure
OF muscular energy necessary when
You understand that birds in rapid
flight must overcome an atmospheric
pressure Of anywhere from 120 to 100
pounds to the square foot. These
averages have been generally accepted
by men who have studied the question,
and they are no doubt approximately
correct. Most men who are without
experience and training, in hunting
quail particularly, shoot at the first
fiutter of the wings. They simply
shoot at the sound, and miss It, Of
course. They seem to think the bird
Is flying so rapidly that 1t will soon be
out Of the guns range. This is a
grave and fatal error. There is plenty
OF time. The thing to do is to keep
cool. take aim and fire at your leis-
ure. New Orleans Times-Democrat.

The green shows through the batlste,

tral tint of the fabric.
Three forward turning tucks are ar
ranged at each side Of the centre front.
The third tucks are stitched from neck

A transparent lace collar completes

why Women Like Fiction.

Do women find in fiction the roman
not find in sufficient quantity in life?
How otherwise are we to account for
their devotion to novels, without which
the story-writer would fare but i'll up
on the slim diet of an untitled purse,
and the publisher share the disaster?
If Mr.. Carnegie should be able to keep
out of libraries. as he suggested, all
fiction under three years old, IL might
safely be said that the women would
be against him-which means that the
they could not be done. Women like
new fiction; they want the book that is
lust OUT If it is historical novel,
they feel that they are gathering in
formation, Heaven bless them! II 1t Is
a romance. pure and simple. they for
get over its pages the domestic trials
of the morning or the afternoon. 1t
does them no more harm than has been
done for countless generations. For
women are nourished upon fiction from
the days of their birth. Our girls are
reared in an atmosphere rarefied and
cleared from all impurities. The
world is shown them through rose
tinctured glass. Here, dearest. is q
city, a wonderful city of happy homes,
OF beautiful art OF heavenly aspiration.
And these-these are men, noble. high
minded beings who will always guide
and teach and protect you. These other
are women, lovlier than everything
else" And so on. Fiction without dis
elimination is fed to the girl who
looks with heaven-given trust into the
eyes of her well-meaning teachers. And
when she BECOMES woman, the habit
has sent its roots into her soul. and
he she happy or pensive. she reads fic-
ton. With men it is different; They
do not expect from life what women
do. When they read novels it is to for
get the rigors of business, to enter de-
liberately a region which they know
does not exist. But women can seldom
quite believe that it does not exist. To
them lie Is romance. If it does not
turn out we'll, so much the worse tor
life, and they turn to books, where the
happy ending is fairly sure to be
counted upon. In women's love for
fiction there is something more than
specifically pparent.-Harper's Week

hats in a shape that looks like the old

with flowers, folds of tulle. and light
taffeta ribbons. These are very at
tractive. as are also the hats of pink

There are two sizes in smart sum-

Smart Outing Modes.

Outing gowns are such a prominent
part of the feminine wardrobe just
now that few of the very latest and
most correct suggestions are inter-
esting.
OF course, all outing gowns these
days have short skirt, not an unbe-
comingly short one, but just the right
length for comfort. Side and box
pleated models are the ltrest, but those
with tucks, so stitched that they stim-
ulate pleats while being perfectly fiat,
are most popular. These tucks run al
most to the foot Of the skirt, where
they are allowed to flare.
In materials, pique, linen, galatea,
denim and duck are the most favored
wash fabrics. Wash silks; SO much
cooler than the stuff that need starch,
yet bearing laundering quite as well;
make ideal outing suits.

Tho Waste OF Summer Lemons.

In using the Juice of lemons for the

to various summer cookery, there will
be quantities of rind and pulp left to

housewife of today takes advantage of

candled lemon peel, there is still a
certain amount Of pulp to go to waste,

ThA Rnhher Plant.

Mnen in good condition a rubber

house plants, its dark green, glossy
foliage being particularly decorative.

cases a difficult matter to keep I
plant in full foliage, and bereft of its
lower leaves, with scraggly stems
topped by dull, yellow spotted leaves,
it is far from being an object of beau
ty. An authority suggests the follow
ing method Of caring for the plant and
guarantees successful results IL the di-
rections are faithfully followed "Ev-
cry spring the plant should be repot-
ted in good soil, each time in larger
pot, and during the summer months
Kept in the shady part of the house,
away from the sun, and watered daily.
In winter the plant should be kept in a
light place in the house, but should
not have too much sun. Once each
week the entire pot should be thor
oughly immersed in bucket or tub Of
water and allowed to soak over night,
giving the water ample opportunity to
soak to its centre. Next morning take
the pot out of its bathtub and allow 1t
to drain a while and do not give 1t
any more water for two or three days;
then let 1t have drink each morning,
until true for its next bath. BY care
fully following this plan the large,
glossy leaves will acquire a beautiful
lustre and there will be no trouble with
falling leaves.
