QUAINT METHOD or HUNTING
chinaman Uses Simple but Remark
ably Effective Device When He
Goes After Wild Ducks.

So far as we know, nobody really
catches birds by putting salt on
their tails; but the methods adopted
in some parts Of the world are al
most as quaint.
In certain parts Of China a NUM-
Der of pumpkins are left floating on
the surface of any pond frequented
by wild ducks, in order that the lat
ter may come to regard them as
harmless objects.
When the Chinaman wants duck
for his lunch he slips quietly into
the pond and places over his head a
pumpkin in which Sits are cut for
his eyes. He then moves gently
through the water until he is near
enough to catch duck by the feet.
With a sharp jerk he pulls it under
the water, wrings its neck, and puts
it into his belt. The other ducks
are seldom disturbed, and he goes
on until he has caught all he wants.

RAoIuM IN THE SYMPTOM

One of the most interesting scien-
tifc discoveries connected with the
Simplon tunnel is the existence in
the rocks through which the famous
tunnel was bored of surprisingly
large amount of radium. The
greatest percentage was found more
than two and a half miles from the
Italian entrance, where every gram
Of rock contained about one four
thousand-millionth of gram OF
radium. The presence of such a
quantity Of radium is thought by
some to furnish an explanation of
the extraordinary degree of heat en-
countered in the tunnel.

Death Of Prominent Personals In kaf.
nrisnd Is Serious Matter for
Those Left Alive.

The body of a Kafir child is
washed before being buried, but 9TH
erwlse the ceremony is of the SIM
plest character, the father himself
digging the grave, while the mother,
and perhaps another relative OF two.
looks on.
The burial of a chief, or of his
near relative, is celebrated with
great pomp and is accompanied by
the slaughter of oxen and even of
men. Very often a number of che
best-looking young girls in the tribe
are buried alive in the grave with
the deceased magnate.
In the case of Mnande, the
mother Of the despot King Tchake,
a guard Of twelve thousand men
were stationed over the grave for a
whole year, and were maintained by
the goodwill of the tribesmen. The
orgies on this occasion were hor-
rible; and so wild did the people
become that it was proposed that
all who had been present at her fu-
neral should be slaughtered, and
that the earth should be compelled
to join in the general mourning by
being allowed to lie waste for a
whole year. All the children born
within one year after her decease,
and their parents as well, were exc
.uted.

POINTED OUT HIS ENERGIES"
Some Few Things That Squire Collins
Had Probably Overlooked During
His Attack of Govt

Steady nerves, strength and gen.
tleness had all been included in ma
lures gift to Miss Barker, and she
made an excellent nurse. But when
she saw a patient in what she called
"the glums" she never failed to
speak a few admonitory words.
"Now, see here" she said, in her
clear, pleasant voice one morning
to Squire Collins, slowly recovering
from an attack of govt which had
been severe enough to send him to
bed, "see herel | know you've quite
siege, but you just look at some O.
your mercies, squire"
sWhat, for instance?" demanded
the squire, who knew her ways.
Miss Barker bent an accusing
gaze upon him.
'Take this bed, for instance" she
said. "Have you thought how few
there are that have the privilege Of
being sick in handsome black wal
nut bedstead like yours, an have
their clean sheets taken out O. such
mahogany linen press as you've
got? That ought to cheer you up

writer Wen Says Of Thackeray That
He Never "Went Down
With the Crowd"

Ihackeray's gentleness carried
HIM far. In sense he never. like
Dickens, went down with the crowd !:
they did not know him. Bret Harte
tells us that the miners of Roaring
Camp paused in their card game at
the news of the death of Little Nell !;
but during this lecturers visit a
member of the proletariat was heard
to inquire plaintiyely, "Who che H.
is Thackeray?" Thackeray's mind
seemed imperyious to many of the
issues which angered Mrs. Troll
lope or disgusted Dickens, Stanley
I. Williams writes in the North
American Review. A southern wom-
an remarked bluntly at dinner
party, "Do you know, Mr.. Thack-
cray, ! thought you were gentle
man !" Again Thackeray laughed,
and declared it was the cleyerest
comment he had ever heard. What
an opportunity for Frances Trollope
in such an incident as this: AS
Thackeray's train came into Con-
cord one Of the two silent Yankees
sitting near him remarked, "Mr.
Emerson, hear, lives in this town."
Yeas" was the drawing reply,
"and | understand that, in spite Of
his odd notions, he is man Of con-
siderable propity."
