DO WOODCOCK DECOY.

On December 5th, 1904, l took a
short cunning trip with friend whom
l consider one of the greatest living
authorities on that fast vanishing game
bird, the woodcock, and before the day
was over had one of the most novel
experiences that has ever befallen me
afeld.
Our destination was some hills on
Long Island, about an hours run from
the city. For several day the weather
had been very cold, and when we got
afield We found the ground frozen SO
hard that walking was made decidedly
unpleasant, and to add to our dis
comfort it soon began to snow and
sleet quite hard.
Without going into details of the
early part of our hunt, l will get right
down to my story. We were approach
ing some hills where earlier in the
season we had had several days Of
excellent woodcock shooting, when
my friend suddenly stopped and turn
ing to me said he would show me a
weodcock in a few minutes, and be
was so positive in his statement that
l simply laughed at him and told him
to go ahead, that I would have to see
the bird before taking any stock in his
statement.
Going up hillside I went to the
right and my friend to the left; and
on account of the dense growth Of
saplings and bushes we became sepa-
rated and had almost gained the top
when l heard him call for me to come
to him; and when finally worked my
way to where be was standing, he
showed me some woodcock droppings
which were probably couple of days
old. He then related to me the most
curious yarn | had ever heard about
this, the most mysterious of all our
game birds. He said that the bird he
was about to show me (for at no time
did he seem to be in doubt as to his
ability to show me the bird) was a
small, light colered colored cock that
had been on this very hillside all sum-
mer and fall, as he had found it there
every time he had looked for it, and
he had even seen it on the ground on
several occasions. He said further
that he felt positive that this bird
had inhabited this very, spot for the
past three seasons, and he made me
promise if flushed bird and it prov
ed to be this small, light colored one,
not to shoot it, as he had refrained

IDEAS FOR THE
HOUSEHOLD.

A sofa pillow filled with sweet
clover gives a delicious and refresh
ing ordor. Many prefer clover to a
pine filing.
Salt sprinkled over low coal fire
will greatly aid in curling feathers.
Shake the plumes constantly and do
not hold them too near the fire.
If one objects to the odor of moth
balls, sheets of brown paper may be
sprinkled with turpentine and laid be-
tween garments in the chest or trunk.
Moth balls, however, are much better
to use when packing away rugs.
When travelling, it is well to be
provided with bottle of aromatic
spirits of ammonia. In case Of faint
ness, ten to twenty drops taken in a
wine-glass of water will often give re-
lief. II one is to be alone, it is well
to provide the medicine beforehand.
Fill three,ounce bottle with boiled
water and add teaspoonful of the
spirits, shake we'll and cork tightly.
1t can be taken in two doses half an
hour apart.

An Irish Tramp.
| original

The Scotch lakes in the month of
June are very pleasant touring ground.
In order to have plenty of time to en-
joy this interesting region | decided
o spend the whole month Of roses in
IA walking trip in what if called the
Trossachs. | ran across a young
Englishman named Marston, who was
amusing himself in much the same
way as [, and we agreed to tramp to-
gether. Marston was thorough Brit
on and with all a Briton's respect for
rank. He was not noble himself, but
protested to know many of the nobili-
ty.
We were resting one day on the
banks of Loeb Lomond when typi-
cal Irishman tramped by. He wore
corduroy breaches to the knee and
wooden stockings, the conventional
short cuddy pipe in his mouth, and
carried bundle slung to the end Of a
stick over his shoulder.
"Pat,' l called, ''can you let me
have a match?"
Faith, l can that same,' be replied,

leave US. He seemed TO take a great
fancy to me, but regarded Marston
