HARD TO SHOOT WILD GEESE They Are Crnfty n»4 C.uUou. In Their l.oim Young geese near the ><">'ote brPeding grounds and before tlu>) 11,1 ' 1 , educated by the long. l'' rllou “ from north to south and s * but that is a common br It of youth and inexperience. 1 ■ ” ’ ‘’ J’ goose is a very diflerent Imvl. and if there be anything in feathers better able to extract ,-i.u.. 1.- • -f solid wisdom from an experience with a trace of lead In it I have not yet met that bin Nor is it nt all strange that the honker should be tireless in w-ila.ne and exceeding loath to trust his big, shapely body too near any torn of growth cr shelter which possibly might conceal a man. Roughly speaking, the initial southern trip, from the row s birthplace to the winter rendezvous, is I an airy Jaunt of about 3.000 miles, more or less, at least one third of which is punctuated with peril. In all probability the true story of n goose's migration experiences would be something startling, especially in regard to the quantity of lead of various sizes vainly hurled after the adventurous tiler. Would it be pounds or tons? At first glance the latter quantity might appear absurd, but it must be remembered that a goose is long lived, w hile nine-tenths of his would he destroyers use more lead than science in their abortive methods. In any event, if I ! had the choice of contract for carry ing I in a canoe the goose or the stuff that had missed him, there wouldn't be any i hesitancy over the selection of the freight. The fact is that the honker is the

most shot at and the least killed of all our fowl, the reason for which is simple enough. Not a few old sportsmen and all new hands at the game underestimate by about one-half the distance at which a flying goose Is passing The bulky body and great wings make a noble spread even when a couple of hundred yards off. and only long schooling can teaeb the utter uselessness of trying at half that range with any standard gun. To a novice a goose actually within sure distance will appear almost on top of him, and ft is only after a few fowl have been killed, gathered and the distance at which they fell noted that the eye acquires the knack of measuring with anything like correctness the deceptive mark.— London Sporting News. Color. Color Is very commonly looked upon as a definite quality. This, however, is only partly true. The more correct and scientific concept of color Is that It is simply the name of a certain group of sensations by which we are affected. Thus we say “the rose is red.” It Is more correct to say “the rose produces In us th? sensation we call redness." A man who is color blind will declare that it is green, showing that the color is not in the thing, but in the perception of it 80 far. therefore, from retaining their color tn the dark, objects cannot properly be said to possess it even in the light. “The rose is red" really means that the site and arrangement of its surface molecules are such as to reflect that particular part of the spectrum which we have agreed to call red. In the dark It Is simply black or colorless, though it retains its capacity for again exciting in us the sensation of redness on tielng restored to the light, Just as an empty glass retains its capacity for being refilled. — Tlie Roman's Table. A dish was prized for its oddity, rarj ity or costliness. Mighty curious reading are the accounts that come down to us of the great Roman "spreads,” such 11s that which Lentulus gave on ids election to the office of flamen or that with which Nasidlenus mocked Horace and bls friends. The menus on these occasions would strike terror to the heart of a modern "ma It re d'hotel” or “chef de cuisine." What would be thought of a dish of echini, or •ea hedgehogs, of thrushes served up on asparagus and a fatted hen for course No. 1; of haunches of wild venison and becenficos (fig peckers. “Curruca hortensfs”) for the second; of a sow’s udder, a wild boar’s cheek, a ragout of fish, ducks, hares, boiled teal, capers, furmenty and Picentlan bread for the thlrd?-All the Year Round. Marveluunl, Condensed. A lawyer of the good old southern tyi* had argued for three court days without pause. Ills brief hub a masterpiece of classical learning and legal erudition, but It was tiresome. “Major Sigsbee,” said the wearied Judge at last, "without wishing to Inti mate in any way that the court would not be delighted to listen to your whole argument, 1 must suggest that the docket is somewhat crowded, and that if you could condense a little it might help your client's cause.” ' The attorney smiled his acknowledgment. "Yo’ bonoh,” he exclaimed, “the thought was In my mind when I pre pared my argument! Suh. foh the next to' days my brief Is a pehfect mahvel or condensation!"
