Two Way. to Catch Rabbits.

BY the first method you take lot
O. salt, mix some pepper with 1t.
strew it on a very hard rock. then
watch. The rabbits cum and eat the
salt, and the pepper makes 'em sneeze
SO vilent they bump their noses on the
rock till they fall in swound and you
step up and pop 'em In your bag"
The other method was to build a
Dustin fire IN the woods when the
snow is plenty. Now. rabbits, you
must know, is a mite cold blooded lit
tie critters, so they'll cum and set
round 1t and warm their toes. Well.
pretty soon they'll drop Off asleep and
the fre'll melt the snow into slush.
And pretty soon the fire'll die out and
the mornin' II cum on sharp and II
freeze the slush into ice and ketch the
little critters fast by the paws. Then
all you have to do is cum round with
yer ak and chop 'em out" = Robert
Haven Schauff1er in Metropolitan Mag

DueIs In Frarce.

A large proportion OF the duels In
France end without bloodshed. When
the offense is not very serious it is
agreed beforehand that the words of
command shall be given SO rapidly
that the duelists will not have time
to take good aim. Sometimes three
shots are exchanged without hit. and
then the seconds step In and-"honor
Is satisfied" At the word Fire" the
pistol is raised instantly. and 1t must
be discharged not later than the word
three" so the speed with which these
words are given regulates the time In
which 1t is possible to take aim. There
fore the speed with which they are
spoken is agreed upon beforehand. this
depending upon the seriousness of the
duel. The words are timed with
metronome. If the encounter be very
serious this is set at the lowest speed,
eighty beats minute. which gives
time for taking accurate aim. A speed
Of 140 beats u minute allows no time
for aiming, and therefore is used when
the seconds consider the duel should
be made as little dangerous as pos
sible.-London Answers.
