A SKILLFUL SHOT.
The Way TO Bring Down an Overhead
Incoming Bird.


0ne of the cardinal rules Of the old
time shooting school cautioned the
gunner against ever trying to stop an
overhead incoming Bird. but to wait
until it had passed by and to the rear
and then take chances ca what Is un-
doubtodly the harder shot Of the two.
1t is surprisingly how difficult it is
for some sportsmen to successfully
score on their incoming birds. Many
who can seemingly cope with game in
any other mode Of hight win hahitual-
~ balk at this shot and acknowledge
their inability to make it.
Yet once its principle is understood
and the lesson learned the dropping
of an overhead incomer is as easy as
anything can well be. The miss is al
ways made by the sportsman shoot
ing under and behind the bird. and
there is but one way in which the err
ror is to be avoided.
To make the shot the gunner should
wait until the bird is about to pass
over him, then, bringing up his gun,
follow in from behind, cover the bird
and swing in ahead Of it and main
taining the same rate of speed, press
the trigger the instant the bird is hid
den behind the barrels Do not stop
the swing of the gun and be sure the
bird shall have disappeared from
sight. If the shooter will observe this
rule he will be surprised how easily
and invariably he will kill his bird.

SHIRKING JAIL WORK.
6idwel, tho Forser, Was a Champion
at Malingering.

Malingering is common in Jail, but
surely case quoted from his own ex.
perience by DR.. Quinton, the late gov
ernor Of Holloway, in Crime and
Criminals" is a record. The "hero"
was violent prisoner who feigned
stiffness of the index finger to avoid
oakum picking. He was so angry
when the finger was forclbly bent
that ION returning to his cell he
promptly placed the offending finger
in the hinges Of his table, which was
attached to the cell wall, and violently
raised the leaf with the result that
the finger was absolutely shattered
and had to be removed"
Another case even more remarkable
in its way was that of the notorious
American criminal Bidwell, who was
sentenced to penal servitude for life
in connection with the Bank of Eng
land forgeries.
He was in good health on conyic-
ton, but never did any active work.
Feigning loss of power in his legs, he
lay In bed from day to day and from
year to year, defying all efforts Of
persuasion and resisting all unpleasant
coercive measures devised to make him
work. When | saw him at Dartmoor at
the end of eight or nine years Of his SEN
tence long disuse of his legs had rem
dered him almost cripple. The mus
cles We're extremely wasted, and both
hip and knee joints We're contracted
in a state of semidexion, so that he
lay doubled up in bundle. Though
he was examined time after time by
experts, no one succeeded In discover
ing any organic disease or any cause
for his condition other than his own
firmly expressed determination never
to do n days work for the British
threat which, / believe,
he ultimately carried out"

HIS QUEST FOR A WIFE.
John Newcomb Was a Close Observer
and Was Hard to Suit.

John Newcomb Was Close Observer
and Was Hard to Suit.
The sister of Simon Newcomb, the
great astronomer, tells in McClure's
of their fathers John Newcombs wan
derings in search of wife, whom he
had decided to select in accordance
with scientific theories:
"John Newcomb stopped at farm
houses for his refreshment, and in
each house, If there was a daughter of
marriageable age, he tarried perhaps
a day or even longer to make study
Of the maiden. He always made him
self handy about the place, drawing
up water with the great well sweep,
bringing in frewood-doing anything
that he could do and still keep near
the daughter
disappointment met him at every
door. At one house the cooking was
poor, at another the house was not
neatly kept, at a third there was scold-
ing or faultfnding, a want of har-
mony-and in all the maidens a lack
of desire for learning or education
One young woman little knew by what
a narrow margin she missed her fate
All was going smoothly till, when she
was molding the dough for the baking
pans, he noticed that considerable
portion of the dough was left in the
wooden kneading trough. He asked
her the reason for this. and her reply
was that she left it for the horse be-
cause he was fond of it. She always
did this, she said; there was plenty.
Want of thrift decided the young
man, and he shouldered his bundle and
walked on"

John o'croat's House.

John O'Groat's house was formerly
situated on Duneansby head, the most
northerly point Of Great Britain. It
took its name from John Of Groat, or
GroOt and his brothers, who came, it
IS said, from Holland about 1859. The
expression so often heard, From John
O'GrOat's TO Lands End" means the
whole length Of Great Britain from
north 10 south, like the other ex-
preston, From Dan to Beersheba,"
meaning the entire length Of Palestine.

cOAxLNG SLEEP.
simply Question of Win Power and
Self Suggestion.

S~tR S6SSSSAiNts
Ordinarily we do not sleep by acct
lent or haphazard. We simply resolve
to sleep, and self suggestion plays a
| great part in the production of sleep.
| We so through a variety of actions,
all suggestive of change from our
normal waking condition. We un-
Dress we place ourselves in a COM
Portable position; we close our eyes;
we believe and expect we are going to
sleep, and the result is-sleep.
One of the great preventives of sleep
is the fear of not sleeping, but writer
in Harper's Bazaar says that once this
fear is broken down we sleep anyhow.
The insomniac worries about his in
somnia, and this very worry deepens
the mischief; hence the sufferer should
suggest to himself again and again,
If l sleep, we'll; If | don't sleep, l
will at least gain rest by keeping my
mind calm and my body relaxed"
In a word, our chances of getting
sleep increase if we assume the ex-
ternal physical attitude which CORE
spends to sleep if we relax every
muscle and let it stay relaxed, if we
breathe lightly and regularly, if we
call up the Imagination Of a sleeping
person and talk and think sleep to
ourselves, repeating silently and in
quiet dreamy fashion such formula
as this:
'There is no reason why l should
not sleep. Therefore 1 can sleep.
Therefore will sleep. My mind is at
peace. Sleep is coming. am getting
sleepy. l am about to sleep. l am

What is a lobster palace without

preparations of crabs have been
commonly and acceptably served in

But, alas! what agonizing cry is
this that begins to make itself

stand the tremendous drafts upon it.

them that they had mistaken their calling.

part Of Chesapeake Bay, where al
Che canneries are situated. An in
curry into the subject made by the
Fisheries Bureau showed that
single canning establishment used
some hundreds Of millions Of crabs
in a year-nearly all of them egg
bearing females. As one result
soft crabs are getting scarce, and
those which come to market are
undersized.
It has been said that no other
water space Of equal area in the
world produces so much food for
mankind as the Chesapeake, and,
if oysters be excepted, crabs are its
principal crop. Not only are vast
numbers, both soft and hard
backs" sent alive to distant points,
but the meats" are put up in bulk
for shipment to all parts of the
country. Add to these items the
hundreds Of millions used annually
by Gamers, and it is not surprising
that crabs should be getting scarcer.
The situation, however, is unde-
niably alarming. What is to be done
about it?
Hatch them artifcially, says the
Fisheries Bureau 1t is the only
way to solve the problem. But

average female lobster carries only
10000 eggs, while the mother crab
produces 100000 at a spawning,

Thus it seems that a few thou
