Under the chaperonage of Super- visor Fletcher, his associates, Messrs. Anderson, Adams, Lainey, and East- on came down to Lake Forest Mon- day, from the Board meeting in Waukegan, took one of Mr. . Wen- ban’s fine livery coaches, and drove over all the proposed route of the Electric road from Lake Forest city limits to the northern boundary of y the village of Fort \_..Sheridan~; ”and m then drove, dbithmMr. McDoninl'er held a little social conference and met 'Wednesday in Board meeting in Waukegan with their report. At the ‘Weduesday meeting, the right of way was granted, the tracks to be be laid one side of the highway, the company to build or extend the cul- verts where necessary, the road to ' be built by July 1, 1898, and the fran» chise to run 20 years. There were four or five votes against it from su» pervisors who live in the west part of the county, where the people can't use the road; The Fort Sheridan council left the matter to a special committee to report at an adjoui‘ned meeting. The present outlook seems favorable to the road. Game killed in full flight has a. mo- mentum that carries it a long way some- times. London Field relates several in- stances where the birdshave hit the sportsman. In one case George Mon- ners was shooting in the woods of Long Island when a grouse, driven by heaters, came flying along fast and high up. He shot. at it. and then. with the other barrel, fired at, another bird. Just as he was about lowering his gun after the second shot he received a blow on the head that knocked him sense- less. The grouse first hit. had tumbled against his head. That same afternoon a, wheelman riding along near the line of hunters admiring the scenery did not. observe a big black cock till its feathers brushed his head. The. black cock had been killed and had nearly hit him in falling. The Badminton volume on shooting tells haw the late Charles Leslie was knacked out, at the battery by a grouse he had shot.‘ A strong hnt. probably saved him from serious injury. AmPricnn hunters havehad similar nxperiem-e. A man was riding along in a wag-on some time ago. according to Forest. and Stream, when something hit him on the head with enough force to make him dizzy. An unwounded partridge fly'mp: through the woods had hit him fair. Why the bird (iid not turn aside is as much a mystery as the fact, that partridues sometimes fly against house sides and are killed in so doing.

A musical instrument dealer tells a good story at the expense of a musical- ly-inclined and wealthy resident of the A little Missouri town of Hermann, says the St.‘ Louis Globe-Democrat. Some time ago he wanted a fine zither and searched the local market for one that would suit him. The time he spent was of sufficient value to pay for an or- dinary instrument, and yet he did not succeed in getting anything that quite satisfied big). Confident that there Ivvas nothing“ in thhémuntry that'would an? swer, 'he “wrote to Eurdpéah’deaiefif‘ and finally ordered one that he thought would go ahead of anything ever seen in this section. < His friends were all posted and mm» ed the arrival of the instrument in anxious expectancy. It came a few lays ago, and the package was careful- l y opened in the presence-of half a dozen admiring friends. 'The zither was a beauty, there was no mistaking that, but on a closer examination there was the maker’s stamp indelibly placed on the frame. and it read: “Washington, Mo.. U. S. A.," a neighboring town of Hermann. The gentleman might have saved $50, in addition to the express and impor‘t charges, and have avoided all the waiting which he had to en- ‘ (lure. But he would never have been t satisfied. The zither is an expensive instrument and difficult to manufacture, being very delicate and requiring thewbest of ma- terial and most skillful of workmen. but dealers say it is a fact that the man- ufacturers of this country make the best ones placed on the market. There are but three factories in this country. one in this state and two in the east. Their instruments are largely sold in Europe, some. of them without being branded, and then sent back to this country at prices 100 per cent. above what. they should be. The ocean trips may improve them, but the Hermann gentleman cannot see just where it comes in Wollaaton'l curious discovery was that by adding to each pair of eyes a nose directed to the right, or the left, the eyes lose their front direction.
