The Odd Business Methods of a Southern Storekeeper. v ' " Duck night at Ewcll's store, down on the "Virginia coast near the North Caro lina line, is locally famous in the duck ing season as the special night in the week when the storekeeper is at home to the duck hunters of . the region. Ewell, says the New York Sun, buys ducks of the hunters, paying for the game in goods from his store, and ship ping his purchases to an up-coast life- saving station, whence they find their way to the markets of Baltimore, Philadelphia and New-York.. As Ewell waits behind his counter with a lantern, the duckers, ; rude-looking fellows of the beach-comber type, drop in one by one and sit around in the gloom. Ewell hangs -the game in a cold room at the rear of the; 'store' land credits each dncker with the agreed value of his ducks. As each transaction is made the ducker recalls something that he needs from the merchant's stock,' and when he has received the article the price is debited against his credit. The ducker then relapses to the nearest barrel or box and waits until some other needed article shall occur to his mind. He then makes the new demand upon the merchant, has a new debit placed against his credit, and again sinks back into the gloom. After fullly two hours of this sort of thing, those who wish the balance of their credit paid in cash receive their dues, and everybody cau tiously repairs to a hollow tree hard by, where moonshiners from over the North Carolina line are waiting with a fiery article of untaxed liquor, and the heart of the ducker is made glad. COWBOY- APPRENTICESHIP. A Calling; That Is Fraught with Much Mental Anguish. "If young men who have the cowboy fever had any idea of the apprentice ship they are likely to serve before becoming full-fledged cowboys, most of them would be cured without the ex pense of a trip a thousand miles west," says Elias Miller, of Hutchinson, Kan., to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat re cently. . "It is nearly twenty ' years since I had the fever and iwent out to be cured. My first work was watching the line between Wyoming and Da kota. Line or fence watching is an as signment frequently given to' a "new comer, and the duties consist in riding up and down the line: and preventing cattle from straying 6ver it. Several men have lost their reason in this work, and I came' very 'near doing so myself. All the glory and adventure we read of in books is absent, and the solitude is terrible. ' I could cover my distance in about two days, and did nothing else but ride up and down the line watching for the stray cattle, which never strayed my way. Sheep herding is said to be the most terribly monotonous work a man can be put to, but there are few cowboys in the west wiio have not an acute recollection of the suffcring-s they endured when do ing such work as I describe. There are hundreds of men doing it to-day, but each of them is looking forward to ob taining a new job with almost the eagerness of a convict who knows that his sentence has nearly expired." HOLLAND'S TRAMPS. Instead of ' Herding Them Together the Gentry Are Scattered Over Farms. The growth of the tramp industry in mis country ana tlie consequently m- cre;; biiig- demands made upon the chari ty of jvlt large cities forces to the front the question of pauperism. What shall the country do with those who want wcrlr and cannot get it, -and with thos-e who might get it and won't do it? .These questions seem to be handled mere successfully, m Holland thnn in any ' other ".country of the civilized worlds In most other countries these people are herded together in vast poorhouses or lea in common soup kitchens, but the Holland idea is to scatter them as widely as possible and to make all who are able to do it earn their own living. ' " '-- , The state has a tract of land contain ing about five thousand acres divided into six farms, and every person apply ing for relief is sent to one of these. If he be willing to work and voluntarily serves until he has gained some idea of agriculture he is- allowed to rent small farm for himself and to be what is cailea a "iree tanner. rms- is a very practical method of dealing with the vexed problem, : and one hat is especially adapted to this country. NOT AMBITIOUS WOMEN. Italian Dames Do Little Outside the Home - Circle. The Italian woman has not yet taken her true working place in society. She is generally handsome, rarely bad in the strictest sense of the word, ' though by no means a very strict moralist. At home she rules; outside she exerts no influence whatever. The political wom an is as yet unknown. A few literary women exist, but among them are only one or two who rise above the average. The Italian woman is nearly always a good mother, even when a bad wife she follows impulses rather than reason in her actions, and this to a greater de gree than her Bisters in any other Eu ropean country. During the national uprising she was hopeful, but she remained humble and never became ambitious. Mme. Eatazzi who tried to meddle in politics, had to desist. Outside the domestic circle the Italian woman does not work, except in the lower classes, and then she uses rather her physical than her intellectual strength. The business woman, like in France, is not met with except in Pied mont and Milan. . The state-has not been able to find woman other official employment than that of school mistress. -".'.-' - ? - . .. A Decided Convenience.
