A well known sportsman had become
very tired Of listening to a series Of
shooting yarns that some friends had
been spinning. At last he launched
his first and only story that night. Il

sight was an immense flock Of black
birds. I should say there were 10000.

how many do you think I kllled?", Diff
ferent guesses were made, ranging
from twenty to a hundred birds. 'Not
one" said the stranger, "but l went
out to look for results and picked up
thirty bushels Of legs. I had shot a
little too low."-Tatler. s@'

Early Pottery.

One of the principal territories OF the
potters for centuries was Kingte Chin,
the finest pieces being made during tho
Ming dynasty. 1t is stated that the
.hne specimens were made with SO
much care that out of 200 pieces they
would sometimes destroy 100. It Is re-
corded in 1915 that a titled man IN
Japan had one Of his attendants OF
rank whipped for breaking q cup and
then sent to China at his own expense

Bradley's visit was the first of sew

started back to town it was with a bot
tile Of "Buckley's best" (Which was
very bad indeed in his travelling bag

He was back again in a couple Of
weeks, and the colonel regarded curl
IOusly the smile of contentment that
played about his lips when Minimum

discussion by the announcement that

three miles farther to the south.
The statement was. received with in

advantages to be gained, and the colo.

Down ut Minimum the news was re-
