CALLED BARNARD SPORT.
"SaIting" of Duck Marshes Strongly
Condemned by True Hunters.

Sailing" of Duck Marshes Strongly
Condemned by True Hunters.
A California newspaper chronicles
the prowess of a large number OF
mighty nimrods who recently killed
the limit number of ducks on various
preserve grounds previously baited
with food which had made the birds
tame and unsuspicious.
This "barnyard SPORT does not ap-
peal to a correspondent, who objects
to unnecessary slaughter, even If the
law does admit the killing of half
hun dred ducks.
2 ne practice of Sailing" duck
marshes and lakes with corn and other
grain and then burning them OUT on
the opening day is simply a phase OF
the degeneracy of latter-day duck
shooting.
The birds get so that they will come
in for the grain like chickens at the
call of a housewife. 1t requires no
hunting skill to find the game and it
is so ridiculously tame from non-mo-
lestation and constant feeding at the
baited points that the shooting IS
about as difficult as shooting at
poultry show and killing a rooster.

PLANT YIELDS LINEN FIBER.
Weed That Grows in Brazil Produces
Goods of Various Grades.

Weed That Grows in Brazil Produces
Goods of Various Grades.
A new plant known as "canhamo
braziliensis perind'' or brazilian lin
en- and named for it's discoverer, DR..
Victoria De Perrin, is now being de-
veloped under the patronage of the
Brazilian government upon several ex-
perimental plantations, and has
reached a point where it is predicted
that its influence must be felt at once
in the fabric world of commerce and
industry.
The plant is virtually a weed, grow
ing from twelve to eighteen feet high
in four or five months and resembles
the hemp.
Among the claims for it are that it
is absolutely hardy, resisting the dry
and rainy seasons alike; that it snot
a prey to insects or mildew; that it
requires no special attention after
planting; that it natures so rapidly
that three crops year can be had
upon comparatively waste hand and at
small outlay; that the fiber has all
the qualities for high-cfass use, and
that every portion of the plant can
be used for some Industrial purpose.
The fiber runs generally into three
grades, the finest corresponding to the
best linen, the second to coarse linen
and the third to European hemp. The
residue of the pklnts is composed OF
high-grade cellulos, said to be espe-
cially suitable for the manufacture Of
fine writing paper, the demand for
which will be steady, as at present
all but coarse wrapping paper is i'm
ported to the amount of 100000 a
year.
Present plans contemplate only the
production of the raw fiber for ex-
port, but the ultimate result may pe
a great manufacturing enterprise
when labor and commercial condi-
tons in Brazil vii justify tlie venture.

Florists Frost Bells.

An electric bell tinkled sharply be-
side the florists desk.
"Frost!" he said, and ran hatless to
the greenhouses.
"The fires had sunk" the florist ex-
planned on his return. "The watch
man had fallen asleep. But for my
frost bell I'd have lost hundreds Of
dollars.

Butterflies in Battle.

ga battle of butterflies said the
Japanese viscount firmly.
''Impossible!" cried the lady on his
right.
"Oh," the viscount insisted, "the
thing is authenticated. It happened on
Aug 20, 1889. Tales and poems with
out number have been written on 1t.
con the evening of Aug. 20 two op-
posing armies of the butterflies fought
an aerial battle between Molina and
Kavasaki-Mura. The fight continued
till sunset, when the smaller army
turned and reiterated, the victors pur-
suing it till all were lost in the rosy
sunset haze. The ground beneath the
combat was thickly strewn with
wounded and dead warriors.
"The battle drew a thousand people.
1t occurred about thirty feet up in the
air. The spectators were amazed
and horror-stricken to see these gentle
blue butterflies graphing and strug-
Cling furiously and silently in a blue
blizzard above their heads"
