The merchant worked harder to draw Sally out and break the ice than he ever had to sell $500 worth of goods, but not a word from her until he had his hat in his hand to go.

He who desires to take the wood cock must put on a cloak and gloves, the color of dead leaves, and conceal his head and shoulders beneath a brown hat, leaving only two small holes to"see through. He must carry in his hands two sticks covered with cloth of the same color, about an inch of the ends of which must be of red cloth, and, leaning upon crutches, must advance leisurely to ward the woodcock, stopping when the bird becomes aware of his ap proach. When the woodecock moves on he must follow until the bird stops without raising its head. The fowler must then strike the sticks to gether very quickly (moult bellement), which will so amuse and absorb the woodcock that its pursuer may take from his girdle a rod, to which a horsehair slip noose Is fastened, and throw this around its neck, for it is birds that are known.—Dr. Belon, Sixteenth Century, ami am———————— The Man and the Cigar, You can’t always tell a man by the cigar he smokes; but you can got a | pretty good idea of the cigar.

Some of the smart new motor coats have buttonholes worked in one cuff, and In these cuff-buttonholes are in ported tiny watches which are held in place by a curved projection at the back-—-something like the back of an ordinary collar button. It is much easier to drop the eyes to one's cuffs to ascertain the correct time than to stop the automobile and take out a watch depending from a chain or fob. Another convenient watch is the desk watch, which has a thick back, slant ed off toward the lower edge so that the watch rests at an angle of 30 de grees, making it much easier to read the time than when the watch face is flat on the desk top. § Sleeves.
