THE STOOL PIGEON.
rs Part In Capturing the Wild Birds
In Former Times.

rs Part In Capturing the Wild Birds
In Former Times.
There are occasional reports Of small
flocks of wild pigeons having been
seen in different parts Of the United
States and Canada. Possibly these
are the harbingers Of their return from
South America, whence they migrated
for some unknown reason fifty years
ago.
1t may not be generally known that
the somewhat odious term stool pi-
geon" as used today arose from the
stool pigeon that used to be employed
in catching wild pigeons in former
times. They used to be so plenty that
they were taken In great numbers by
the use Of spring nets. These nets
varied in size. but were from two 10
ten yards long and were half as wide.
They were concealed as much as pos
sible. being partly covered with hay or
straw or whatever was most suitable.
At each end was a strong spring, 10
which ropes were attached, something
like $50 feet long, to where the watch
er was concealed. Close to the ret was
a stool, or stand, where the stool pi-
geon," usually a tame or captured one,
was placed. The pigeon was tied by
the feet to the stool, and from this
stool a rope extended to the person IN
concealment Wheat or 6 'e . 3I;ae.
grain, was scattered aboutk Snr nru.e. :
whenl thAo Ssits--yas passHss &c
attached to the stool was pulled, caus-
ing the pigeon to rise and hutter us
wings in trying to escape. Ihis at
tracted the attention Of the passing
flock and induced them to light where
the grain had been scattered. Then a
slight pull on the ropes would release
the spring to the net, which would DC
thrown over them so quickly that they
had no time to escape. Sometimes
many hundreds were captured In this
way at a single haul.-Amateur Sports

Seats In the Senate.

The custom of filing for seats In the
senate is one that differs much from
the methods in the house, where places
are drawn for by lot. In the senate
any senator who has a seat that does
not appeal to him may cast his eye
about. decide which senator with
good seat stands the least chance or
returning the next term, either because
Of political reasons or because OF phys
zeal infrmities, and file on the seat.
By filing he simply makes application
TO the sergeant at arms of the senate
for that particular seat when 1t be-
comes vacant.
Senator Beverldge, who now occupies
Senator Spooner's seat, got it by fore
casting the resignation of the WIS
consin man from the senate. At the
time the Indiana senator indicated his
preference for Spooners seat there was
no indication that the senator from
Wisconsin would not be senator OF
the senate for many years to come.
Yet n few months afterward Senator
Spooncr decided he could afford no
longer to stay in the senate. for finan-
cial reasons, and Mr.. Beveridge got the
place.-WashingtO Herald.

ECCENTRIC blanche.
Why the Famous Critics Hands Were
Still SoiIed After a Bath.

Still SOlled ATteT Ddtn'
A correspondent Of the Boston Her
aid says that a remark attributed TO
the late Sully Prudhomme was made
originally by the famous and eccentric
literary and dramatic critic, Gustave
blanche. who died in Paris In Septem-
Der, 1857. For a long time 1t was
thought that he slept in the public
streets, and he himself took pleasure
in giving credit to this report.
"Where are you lodgingT some one
asked him.
81 don't lodge" he replied; Il perch
"And where"
Champs Elysees, third tree to the
right"
Another anecdote Of blanche is that,
being once invited to dine with a cele-
brated actress, Annias or Nine. Dorval,
he arrived before the company.
"My goodness, Planche," cried the
hostess, what a figure you cut! Go
take a bath. 1 beg Here is ticket"
He returned In an hours time as
clean as when he set out. You un-
happy man, you have not taken the
bath"
"By my faith, have!
"Lool1 at your hands"
"Ah, that is because l had book
while In the water"

Rome's Walls to Be Razed.

The Rome municipal authorities pro-
pose demolishing several portions OF
the city walls and building In their
stead tenement houses, besides open
Ing streets between the inside and out
side quarters of the town. The pro-
posal is opposed by the fine arts de-
partment, which argues that the noble
walls that have often saved the city
from pillage and destruction and on the
face Of which the history or Rome Is
written almost year by year should not
disappear; but, as both the state and
rity refuse the expense of keeping them
in repair. they are in a state of utter
decay and ruin. The portion of walls
doomed to disappear extends from the
Porta Pinciana, brought to its present
shape by Belisarlus during his gallant
defense Of Rome from the Goths OF
Vitiges In 537 and celebrated owing to
the sally made by the defender, TO the
Porta Salaria, where the so called walls
of Aurelan are well preserved.

THE JEWISH BADGE.
Distinguishing Mark That Was He
quired by European Countries.


To the Jews of today it is fairly well
known that their ancestors in Europe
were forced to put up with a great
deal Of humiliation. One of the most
insulting methods was to require the
wearing of a badge which would
stamp the wearer as an "infidel Jew.
The wearing of badge was MADE
general order throughout Christendom
in the year 1915, but it must have been
required in isolated places before that
date.
The most usual form Of badge was
that Of a ring of distinctive color at
tached to the upper garment. Any one
of French-Jewish ancestry will know
that his forbears wore a ring OF TINS
sort. VARYING in size and In color-now
red. now yellow and white, according
to the whims of municipalities ana
monarchs. 1t was generally worn upon
the breast. and at one time 1t was Or
dered to be worn likewise upon the
back. so that a Jew might be known
fore and aft" When a Jew was
found without the badge, he was fined
Evidence of the wearing of this badge
is found as late as 1892 in France. The
forefathers of the Spanish Jews car
ried a yellow and red badge-the men
ON their breasts, the women on their
foreheads. The wearing of the badge
was not so prevalent In Italy, but the
municipalities almost all required
It. The badge was known as the
20" from its shape, resembling prop
ably the ring in France. English Jews
should feel the distinction Of having
had a peculiar sort of badge forced
upon their ancestors. 1t was first III
the form of q band first white and
then yellow. and later Jews were re
ouired to wear badge with the shape
of the tables Of the law. In Germany
yellow badges were worn, but here the
hat was the chief means of identihca-
ton. In Austria and in Poland there
are few traces of the badge, but In
Hungary Jews wore badge on their
left breast 1t is interesting to know
that in Crete at the present day some
of the houses of Jews are marked with
the "o."-American Hebrew.

THE HUMAN DOOR.
Helen Keller Tells How She Reoog-
nizes Different Persons.

From exhalations learn much about
people. | often know the work they
are engaged in. The odors of wood,
iron, paint and drugs cling to the gar
ments Of those that work In them.
Thus can distinguish the carpenter
from the ironworker the artist from
the mason or the chemist. When a
person passes quickly from one place
TO another get a scent impression or
where he has been-the kitchen, the
garden or the sickroom. | gain pleas
urable ideas Of freshness and good
taste from the odors Of soap, toilet wa
ter. clean garments, wooden and SILK.
stuffs and gloves.
l have, not, indeed, the all knowing
scent of the hound or the wild animal.
None but the halt and the blind need
fear my skill in pursuit, for there are
other things besides water, stale trails,
confusing cross tracks, to Ait me at
fault. Nevertheless human odors are
as varied and capable of recognition as
hands and faces. The dear odors or
those | love are so definite, so unmls-
taxable. that nothing can quite oblit-
crate them. If many years should
elapse before saw an intimate friend
again, | think l should recognize his
odor instantly in the heart of Africa
as promptly as would my brother that
barks.
Once. long ago, in a crowded railway
station lady kissed me as she hur-
rled by. / had not touched even her
dress. but she left scent with her kiss
which gave me glimpse of her The
years are many since she kissed me,
vet her odor is fresh in my memory.
1t is difficult to put into words the

larry Of SMELLS and must fall back on
approximate phrase and metaphor.
Some people have vague, unsub-
stantial odor that floats about, mock
ing every effort to identify it. 1t Is the

q distinctive person scent, and ] seldom
find such a one lively or entertaining.
On the other hand, one who has a
pungent odor often possesses great Vi
tally, energy and vigor of mind.-From
