Missed Every Shot.
One of the best stories told about
Sir John French is how, one night
at dinner, some officers were dis
cussing rifle shooting. The general
was listening until at length he
chipped in with:
*T11 bet any one here,” in his calm
way, “that I can Are ten shots at 500
yards and call each shot correctly
without waiting for th* marker. I’ll
stake a box of cigars on it ”
The maj->r present accepted the
offer, and the next morning the whole
mess was the shooting range to see
the trial.
Sir John fired “Mis#!” he an
nounced He flred again "Miss’”
he reoeated. A third shot. "Miss!"
"Hold on there," protested the
Major "What are you doing? You
are not shooting at the target at all.”
But French finished his task.
"Miss!” "Miss!” "Miss!”
"Of course T wasn’t shooting at the
target,” he said. "T wais shooting for
those cigars ”

Spies and Blotters.
Every foreign office of Europe acts
on the principle that an army of spies
is constantly on the alert to steal Its
secrets, and infinite precautions are
taJ^en to baffle their efforts.
Very shortly after the first use of
blotting paper it was discovered that
It was quite possible to cause a blot
ting paper to give up its jeaJously-
guarded secret by simply holding it in
front of a mirror Long after all the
commercial world had forgotten the
existence of such a thing the Brit
ish Foreign Office used a sand shaker
to dry its Important documents.
Then specially manufactured black
blotting paper was used, but this was
not found to be absolutely spy-proof,
and a return to the sand shaker was
contemplated. Then some one sug
gested the simple expedient of a small
absorbent roller. When such a roller
has been run up and down and across
a document once or twice the clArer-
est spy in the world is at liberty to
try his hand at deciphering thejim-
prossions.
T HE number of persons who can
earn a living by gathering the
wild products of fields and
streams of the British Isles at the
present time Is comparatively small.
In former times the business of the
"simpiers" was a lucrative profession.
They traversed the countryside daily
to procure the herbs and simples, af
terward walking into the towns to
sell their wares. The street cries of
the "simplera’’ were some of the most
rhythmical of the old trade calls
Their descendants of to-day make a
meager living by selling various wild
flowers and plants Thus, cowslips,
primroses. vlolata and hyacinths, to
name a few, are eagerly sought for by
the wtld-flower sellers These men
penetrate Into the remotest comers of
Devon and Ireland In search of the
beautiful wild maidenhair and royal
ferns Some few still gather various
wayside plants to mafce up Into oint
ments. The leaves ©? the colt s-foot
when dried makes a mild kind of to
bacco, and this, too, is prepared and
sold by the flower figatherers.
In the early autumn they look for
ward to the wild harvest of the hedge
rows, when they scour the countryside
for blackberries, sloes, whortleberries
and cranberries, which thus find their
sold by the flower gatherers
Reed-cutting is a regular mid-winter
employment in the fens and the marshes
and many people earn money by it. But
It takes a hardy marshman to endure
the rigors and desolation of this win

cutter moors his broad fiatboat beside
the waving reed beds and mows down
the tall brown grasses all around, af
terward piling them on the reed raft.
As a rule, however, he ha3 to wade into

Miss Gladys was rather a flippant

Of late meetings between the two had
been few and far between.
Glady’s friend could not fathom the

her curiosity, she called one afternoon.
“No, mum. Miss Gladys is not in,”
