When men want to quote Scripture, they quote

Acuteness of Smell.
Wo have heard a perfectly authenti¬
cated case of a little girl who instantly
detected tho presence of a stranger in
the house, and recognized the advent of
friends, purely by the sense of smell.
Any article of clothing belonging to one
she knew was identified by her at once:
but she could identify as quickly it per¬
son whom she know, even if tho person
wore clothing every article of which was
perfectly new, without seeing him.
This sense, as keen as a dog’s, was not
accompanied but by any deficiency in other
senses; the child lost it in growing
to maturity. Another little girl could

newspaper from yesterday’s, and yester¬
day’s by tho from smell that the of tho day Wore,

the evening, and after the papers were
perfectly made dry. Tho experiment was
often by taking three papers of
successive exactly nlike days, and cutting off pieces
from the corners. The
child always correctly identified each of
them. But now she has reached the age
of fourteen, the faculty has been lost.

the broadbill, or even the wild goose.
I have held, my watch on- about every
kind of wud fowl there is, and know to
a dot just how much space any of them
can get over in an hour. The canvas
back can distance the whole wild fowl

When the canvasback is through out taking

proper quantity of powder, travels
quick itself, but if your that charge string brings of
down any member of
ducks at all it will be the fifth or sixth
one back from the leader, and I’ll bet
anything there is on it. If you have
the faintest idea in the world of drop¬
ping the leader you must aim at space
not less than ten feet ahead of him.
Then the chances are that he will run
plump against your shot. When he
drops you will find him a quarter of a
mile or so on, because even after lie is
dead he can’t stop short of that distanoe.
“The mallard duck is lazy. He
seldom cares to cover more than a mile
a minute, but he can if he wailts'to.
His ordinary every-day style of him getting
along over the country takes from
place to place at about a 45-mile an hour
rate. The black duck can fly neck-aud
neek with the mallard, and neither one
can give the other wood-duck odds. should If the pin tail in

to race either a mallard or a black duck
it would be safe to bet on either one.
But if a redhead duck should enter the
