Don'ts in Field Shooting.

A man who cannot handle a gun
carefully and with a proper fear SIM
ply has no business in the field, and
ne has less if he has insufficient re-
gard for his companions share in
the game. When n covey Of quail
IS flushed, confine your attentions to
those birds on your side. A nervous
snapshot nearly always falls into the
error of taking the first bird that
bushes. You can have him if he
comes your way, but if he doesn't re-
member that he is not yours and that
there are plenty more. Your score
will improve, too, you will find, be-
cause of a little deliberation. In this
connection, keep a double watch on
yourself II you use a pump gun. A
man who is proud of these ingenious
instruments can make a pretty music
,or some seconds, but his friends ear
IS seldom in tune.
Don't claim bird unless you know
that you have hit it, and don't ask
man to make his retriever search
'or a dead bird unless you saw it fall.
It's not good for the dog. There is
little excuse for both guns doubling
On the same bird. Take your turn
IN the shingles and don't try to wipe
your companions eye until he has
shot his second barrel. If he uses
a pump give him all six shots and
wait to see if he wants to load up
again. 1t is all right to wipe his eye
occasionally, but pride goeth before
fall, and YOU are daring him to get
gou. The eye wiping is a delicate
process anyhow and requires judg-
ment
Never let a cripple get away IL you
IAN avoid it. Always use your second
oarrel on feathered bird that fails
to fall TO the first. When you see
him strike the ground mark him care
fully and don't give him up till you
6nd him.
Don't run up excitedly to a dog on
point. Take your time and he will
take his.-Outing Magazine.

HOnOring Heroes.

A singular plan for honoring
heroes was proposed in 1882, if we
may credit the following footnote to
La Topographic, a poem by La
Pelletier, published in that year at
Geneva: "In February last several
newspapers announced that the larg.
est book ever printed will shortly
appear in London, under the title.
The Pantheon of English Heroes.
The pages OF this book will be twelve
feet long and two feet wide, and the
letters six inches high. IL has been
found necessary TO erect special ma.
chfnery for the manufacture OF the
paper required. This gigantic work
will be printed by steam in characters
OF gold, no ordinary printing press
being used in the process. Only 100
copies will be issued, and these will
serve to adorn the principal Libraries
in England" You will not find that
book in any public or private library.

oughly tamped down. An augur hole
bored through the clay at the point
where the water rises (Sp) will some
times improve the flow. In more
elaborate constructions cement can be
used 20 advantage in place of clay.
The result of this treatment is that
the water OF the spring, deprived of
its ordinary outlet, is forced to rise
through the pipe. The height 70
which it will rise and the force with
which il will flow depends upon its
head, which is in turn dependent upon
the elevation Of its source. There are
many instances where the water is
raised into roadside troughs, and its
possibilities in connection with farm
and household supplies are consider
able.-Newark Call.

pends entirely upon the force behind
the spring. and it is quite a simple
matter to concentrate that force and
confine it to a limited outlet. Where
there is a head" Of water, the power
Of that head may be untitled to
squirt a stream into the air or make
it flow through pipes to a desired
point. The idea is TO trap the entire
power of the spring and send it
through a small pipe.
...Myron Il. Fuller discusses springs
in a recent bulletin OF the United
States Agricultural Bureau, and one
OF his suggestions is entrapping a
spring with bottomless barrel and
confining it so that all the flow of
water will rise through a central pipe
in the interior of the barrel. Any
boiling spring which is not too large
may be made to Jet its water If con-
fined in barrel or similar caisson.
His description of the device is as
follows: A bottomless barrel (b l
, b 81 may then be inserted and an
Upright pipe placed in the centre with
1ts bottom nearly level with the lower
edge of the barrel. Around the pipe
inside the barrel are packed round
stones co three or four inches in
diameter at the bottom, but gradu-
ally decreasing in size until height
OF two feet is reached. About six
inches Of sand (S) should then be in
serted, covered with an equal thick
ness OF clay. or Of as clayey sand or
loan as can be found Co. This
should somewhat more than fill the
remainder of the barrel, and should
be worked in around the edges on the
outside until all avenue Of escape of
the water. except through the project
ing pipe, is cut off. The ground
should then be leveled over and thor

Only n Night.

Only a night from old to new!
Only night, and so much wrought!
The Old Years heart all weary grew,
But said, The New Year rest has

The Old Years heart its hopes laid down
AS in a grave, but, trusting, sand,
"The blossoms of the New Years crown
Bloom from the ashes of the dead"
The Old Years heart was full of greed;
With sefshness it longed and ached,
And cried: Il have not half need,
My thirst is bitter and unslaked.
"But TO the New Years generous hand
All gifts in plenty shall return;
True loving it shall understand;
BY all my failures it shall learn.
| have been reckless; it shall be
Quiet and calm and pure of life.

And find sweet peace where l leave

Only a night from old TO new
Never night such changes brought.
The Old Year had its work TO do;
No New Year miracles are wrought.
Always a night from old TO new
Night and the healing balm of sleep!
Each morn is New Years morn come true,
Morn of festival TO keep.
All nights are sacred nights to make
Confession and resolve and prayer;
All DAYS are sacred days TO wake
New gladness in the sunny air.
Only night from old to new;
Only a sleep from night TO morn.
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees a new year born.

In the streets the people kiss each
other, whether acquainted or not. The
favored ones who have been kissed
by the Car are permitted to kiss the
hand Of the Empress as well. The
ceremony Of hand-kissing was sup

Day at breakfast, dinner and supper,
! the guests, standing about the table,

Emperor, and offer good wishes 10
each other.
In England and America the hap
piest revels for children are over be-
fore January /, but in Scotland they
are just getting under full headway.
This custom doubtless arose from the
fact that the old Calvinists held in
detestation the 'Popish" celebration
of Christmas, and it became sup
planted by "Hogmanay," usually held
on New Years Eve. This euphonious
name is doubtless derived from the
old greeting, EAU gui menez" ("To
the mistletoe go!") The festival is
distinctively a juvenile function, and
they prepare for it weeks beforehand
by memorizing songs and making
"guisers" costumes.
Housewives lay in a stock OF oaten
cakes and bake a store Of "bridles,"
which they hand out TO the children
when they come to the house door to
claim their "hogmanay," crying:
Get up; good wife, and shake your
feathers,
And dinna think that we are beggars;
For we are BARNS come out 10 play
Get up and gies our hogmanay."

luded to in that most delightful book,

sort Of theatrical entertainment be-
fore an appreciative audience gath
cred beneath the smoked rafters OF
the great farmhouse kitchen. Among
the old customs we of to-day still
cling most fondly to is the one OF
ringing the church bells at midnight,
heralding the birth Of the new year.
Although the poetic figure Of the
old gray-haired sexton pulling his bell
with might and main in the belfry
tower has been supplanted by the fin
de-siecle individual who, snug and
warm, sits at a keyboard and reels
off the music with as much ease as
though playing "Moneymusk" in the
parlor, the sentiment fingers and, lis
tening to the mellow chimes cleaving
the frosty air, one hears the singing
in unison of:
Ring out old shapes of foul disease
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold.
Ring out the thousand wars Of old.
Ring in the thousand years of peace"

FIGUhlNG by A SkLF-sHAVER.
Proves To His Own Satisfaction That
He Has a Mathematical Head.

"My friends all tell me- said a
man who shaves himself, that have
no head for figures, but that only
shows how easily a man may be mis-
judged. Let me tell you:
Day before yesterday I dropped
my razor on the bathroom floor and
knocked hicks enough in its edge 10
make IL saw toothed, and of course
TO be Of any further use il would have
70 be ground, and then came up the
great question OF whether it would
pay 10 have it ground or not.
1T was good razor, and it would
be good after it had been ground.
but the real question was: Would il
pay financially? and l think that in
solving that problem l have upset
completely what my friends say about
me not having any head for figures.
Il took that razor into the barber
shop where 1 go for occasional shaves,
and / said to my barber there:
How much would il cost to have
the razor ground?' and he looked at
it and said:
SiXty-fve cents
How long would IL take? | asked
him, and he said:
One week
And then l made n rapid calcula-
tion in my head, no paper and pencil.
mind you, / just figured it up in my
head in no time, as sat there in the
chair, how much it would really cost
me to have that razor ground, and

how it worked out:

The advent OF the new year has al
ways been a time of rejoicing, not
alone with the Greeks and Romans,
but with the nations still older. Va
ried were the ways in which the festi-
val was kept, but in this they were all
agreed, that a time OF new life had
come, that old quarrels must be for
given, old debts cancelled and every
thing possible should be done to
create a feeling of good will toward

AS New Years Is celebrated its i'm
portation has reached us through
France. which was in turn indebted
to the Latins. In France It is still
the most important day of the year in
the way Of friendly meetings and APP

unions. The typical Frenchman on
this day always dimes at home with
his parents, If he has any, and no out
side attraction is sufficient to lure him
away from the performance of this
filial duty.
Among the Chinese their New

Rumanians take olive branches and
go from house to house to compli-
ment the neighbors with their good
wishes. which are not altogether dis
