sport for very little. There are two meth
DDS of Strengthening the birds-for that is
what it amounts to. The most popular, be-
cause it demands the least exertion is to
remain seated upon a chair behind spe-
cies of blind, or butt" as it Is called, made
to blaze at the birds as they are driven
toward you by a small army of beaters.
Provided with three or four guns, with a
couple of attendants to load them, some
prodigious bags are achieved in this fash
ion. Another method is to walk up and
down an imaginary line over which the
hireiings drive the birds. The old method
Used to be to go out with a gun and dog
and really hunt for the birds, but this is
now almost obsolete, as the fatigue it en-
tails units the sportsman for the evening S
social frolics.
Lord Walsingham holds the ind vdual
records for a days bag, having killed S42
between sunrise and sunset. The largest
number slaughtered by party in one day
fell before the guns of Rimington- Wilson
and his friends, who bagged 2.626-equal to
one bird in every ten seconds for eight
hours. Americans are given credit for de-
vising other methods of killing grouse, but
as no bags are recorded except those made
in the conventional fashion 1 cannot tell
how successful they have been. One am
bilious sportsman hailing from the United
States is said to have erected an electric
light tower, toward which grouse were
driven at night. The intense light attract
ed the grouse In numbers so great-so runs
the story-that the guns We're discarded and
the panic-stricken fowl were murdered with
sticks. Another American is credited with
driving COW in front of him to beat up
the heather in preference to a dog, as the
natural friendliness of the grouse for the
bovine species permits the sportsman to
secure close shot.

PREMIER BENT A BUFFooN.
Storm of Protest Follows Undignifed
Behavior.

MELBOURNE, September 23.-Lately
Mr.. Thomas Bent, premier of Victoria, has
been going around the colony of Victoria
singing comic songs and making himself
conspicuous. Speaking to the Prahran
branch of the Australian Natives Asso-

State Parliament" he said Of one of the

LONDON, September II. 1905.
Americans are this year setting the pace
by reason of which the grouse season
that great annual festival Of fashion
and sport for which parliament ad-
journs and leaves the British empire
to run itself-undoubtedly will pass into
history as the most successful ever known.
BY that one means the most costly. Here
grouse shooting, much more than horse
racing has become the exclusive pastime of
the wealthy. And because fashionable Amer
fcans have more money than other folk and
are more reckless in spending it they have
taken the lead in the social carnival for
which the killing of grouse merely furnishes
the excuse 1t matters nothing to them
that the birds slain by them and their
guests cost from $40 to S15 apiece and can
be bought in the market for mere fraction
of these sums. 1t is for the social eclat-
the distinction Of being in the swfm-that
they ungrudgingly pay the difference and
consider that they get full value for their
money.
The shooting season began August II and
lasts three months. During that period 1t is
estimated that, directly indirectly, on ac-
count of its grouse S20000,0O0 will be ex-
pended in Scotland. OF this sum So, 900 600

rights, and the larger share of the balance

JAPAN's RICE CROP RUINED.
Incessant Rains Result in Serious
Calamity.

TOXIC, September 23.-The rice crop of
Japan has been almost totally ruined by
fncessant rains. Less than quarter of a
crop will be gathered. This is a very seri-
GUS calamity for Japan, as a large proper
ton OF her inhabitants gain their livelihood
from its cultivation. Even with a good crop
Japan is obliged to import more and more
rice each year to supply the ever-growfng
demand. Last year, for example, the rice
harvest was one, of unprecedented abund-
ance, being 81 per cent above the average.
The crop realized 254, 100000 bushels
Nevertheless, the value of rice imported
was considerably higher than the previous
record level, reached in 1903 The figures
were $30O00,000 as compared with SO, o09-
Geo OF this amount Indias share was
more than one-half.
The cultivable area being limited, the in
crease in population and prosperity largely
accounts for the marked increase in the
amount of imported rice.
The eultivable area is about 1000 600
acres. The last serious deficiency occurred
