TURKEY WITH WOODEN LEG

Flavor.

In most communities there are cer-
tain persons who possess peculiar
characteristics. habits and beliefs, and
this is true of the long shore sports
man of the old Mother State as of per-
sons dwelling elsewhere, says Forest
and Stream.
Many of the old time sportsmen still
carry and use their muzzle loading
guns, which cannot be displaced by
more modern arms. They usually
manage to bag a good many birds and
other game, and this is chiefly due.
II Is believed, to their knowledge OF
the habits of the game. They seldom
go out without finding something.
story Is told of one gunner who
II any of the shot should fall from his
hands while loading his gun will at

effort to hunt that day. believing as
he says. that those lost were his luck

to continue the hunt.

stories about the accuracy Of Sweet

On the occasion Of turkey hunt
near the Rappahannock river Capt.
Pete claims to have shot 4O-pound
wild turkey, for which he was offered
$4 cash. The gray whiskers on the
turkeys breast were Is inches long,

turkey had been previously owned by
some one as pet wild turkey.

IN CANDY BUSINESS
NO WASTE AS SCRAPS ARE L.
WAYS MADE USE OF.
Seasoned Confections Considered the
Best-Maker of the Sweets
Must Be an Ar
tiat

There is this similarity between the
candy business and the iron business
the scrap is not allowed to go to waste.
An observer who had an idea that
candy manufacturers must have to
stand lot of loss because candies get
stale, took the trouble to investigate
and learned that his idea was wrong,
says the New York Sun.
The big candy makers ship to their
agents throughout the country at stat
ed intervals. usually of n week. their
standard confections, and all not sold
at the expiration of the interval are
returned to the factory as scrap. AS
the candy is mostly sugar. and sugar
is as indestructible as iron, Ii Is only
a question for the candy maker of get.
ting the sugar value out OF the scrap.
II is impossible to work over the
candy in its original form, but it can
be used in many ways. For example,
the chief use to which stale chocolates
are put is in making caramels and 9th
er chewey confections.
It's a mistaken idea that candy must
be fresh to be good One manufacture

confines himself chiefly to high-class

soned for at least ten days. For his
own use-and he is a great lover OF
candy, despite the general belief that
no cook cares for his own messes-he
keeps chocolates about a month before
eating them.
This man has no patience with those
who assert that colored candy is poi
sonous. His argument is simple. AS
he puts It:
whats the use of putting poison In
candy when natural and harmless col
oring matter costs less? Who'd put
opium in cigarettes when tobacco Is
cheaper than opium?
"It's the same way In my business

FAMOUS TUSCAN RESORT,
Baths Of Lucca Where in Former
Times Tourists of All
Lands Rested.

A day of nearly a thousand years
had this Tuscan watering place, now
in the twilight Of its fame-a twilight
pleasanter to the contemplative visitor
than its gambling and scandalous noon
could have been. For its beauty lies
not in the modern places Of pleasure
in the dusty valley, but in the sor-
rounding hills, with their uncounted
gray little towns and fiowery gorges !;
and it is this beauty, rather than the
gayety the place once had, or even the
virtue Of its waters, that has been the
attraction, to poets and philosophers,
of the baths of Lucca. writes Meth
Boyce, in Scribner's.
The three little villages, Ponte Sc.
ralio, villa and Bagni Caldi, struggling
up the hillsides along the valley Of the
emerald green Lima, their outlying
villas embedded in wines, myrtle
bushes, laurels, oleanders," as Heine
describes them. and sentinelled by the
solemn green Expresses have many
illustrious visitors. The charm OF
those chestnut.wooded slopes of the
lower Apennines is celebrated in some
pages Of Montaigne's journal de Voy
age" in some of the best letters OF
Shelley a-i Mrs. Browning; and II In
spires an amorous episode Of Heine's
"Reisebilder." Fewer philosophers and
poets visit the place to-day, few gouty
English, even. The sunset Of its pros
perity came when. after the cession oi
the duchy OF Lucca 10 Tuscany, the
archducal court made a summer resi-
dence at the Baths; built barracks
villas and roads, and drew crowds
But now the grand dukes villa on thu
hillside is a hotel with few guests; thu
barracks round the little piazza whence
a fine long flight Of stone steps leadl
up to the terrace, have been turned
into pensioni, filled with frugal Ital
ians who come for the baths; the ca
sinos in the valley below, once ga!
with gaming and dancing, are desert
ed; and the landlords noses grow red
der with despair every year.

Reform in College Athletics

The aim Of the reformers in school
and college athletics should be clearly
and directly the betterment of condi-
tions, not the extirpation Of the love
of combat which Is inherent in the ma
ture Of mankind. The notion that
hard general work. resulting In full
muscular development, saps vitality
weakens the organs and is wearyine
incubus TO the individual is so illogi-
cal as hardly to deserve an answer, re.
marks the Boston Post. But some per.
sons believe this. Such should pity
the wild animals that, guided only BY
an instructive physiological need, run
jump, pursue and wrestle with one an
other, thereby using and developing
fully their whole bodies.

Italy's king recently paid a visit to
Vesuvius. On the occasion of a pre-

tiny phonograph. A very small hard
rubber plate has the vibrations of the
human voice imprinted on II, and is
actuated by clockwork, 80 that at a
given time the articulation is made
indicating the hour. The utterance

ON THE FAIR SEX
According to This Report Men Will

superauity of women in SO many kuropenu
countries is a fact which in the first place
is in no sense an evil, and in the second
place is rapidly disappearing.
In another twenty years, she believes
the tide will begin to turn the other way
and the men will be in the majority even
in such countries as England and Ger.

statistics are most interesting. In Lux
embomrg, for example, in 1890 there were
l,OO2 women for every 1000 men. There
are now only 999. In Australia the pro.
portion has been reduced in the same time
from l.044 to l,O35. in Hungary from LOIS

in Sweden from LOGS to ! ,049, in Germany
