Sydney Smiths Invention of "Scratch-

him into ludicrous mistakes at times,

drunk and "grunting God Save the
King about the style,' and when ne
allowed one of his quadrupeds to swal-
low a mighty dose of pills, boxes and
all. But his ''back scratcher' was
good idea. He had theory that every
animal delights to stretch its back
bone, so he put up his universal
scratcher,'' a sharp-edged pole, rest
ing on a high and low post adapted
to every height. from a horse to

Wild Ducks in Scotland.

A new feature in. Scotland that
promises well for the future sport
there is the breeding of wild ducks.
A driven wild duck presents as diff
cult shot to the crack gunner as a
driven grouse, and the birds can be
more certainly driven over the guns
frop the hill loch than from the low
lying lakes in the English counties,
where that branch of sport has hith-
erto been most successfully intro
duccd and followed. And one great
recommendation in its favor, which
should lead to its wider adoption in
grouse counties, is that the sport can
begin earlier in the holiday month of
1 August than grouse shooting com
mences on the surrounding moors.

About Herbert Spencer.

Grant Allen says that Herbert Spen-
