QuaiIs in California

Quails are now so abundant in California that they throng the roadways. While rewards are offered by farmers in Southern counties for killing this bird, which destroys much grain, the Alameda and Contra Costa farmers say the quail is useful to them. It attacks their grain only as a last resort, and chiefly subsists upon insects. Their destruction of ants is of in- calculable importance. The quaifs greatest foe is the wildcat. A quail nesting will cover fifteen or twenty eggs, and nearly every egg will hatch. They nest once year, and during such periods the male is the most pugnacious de- fender of the mother and young. The wildcat, as large as four ordi- nary cats, will stretch himself out and put out his tongue; the male quail will appear and peck it, whereat the cat seizes its toothsome prey.

A Life of Horrible suffering.

There has just died in Boston a cripple whose case has attracted the attention of physicians, scien- lists and specialists all over the country. This man for twenty nine years has not moved from his chair by day or night. When he was six years old his spine was injured by an accident, and his neck, body and limbs became para
 lyzed. He could not move a joint in them. All his fingers became disjointed, and the only movable joint in his frame was one thumb. He could not turn his head a hairs breadth. He sat in his chair near the window, and by an ingenious contrivance of mirrors he was enabled to see what was going on out of doors and in the room. At night his chair was tipped back a little, and in this position he got his sleep. Any attempt on his part to move his limbs caused him the greatest agony. He suffered pain nearly all the time, and everybody won ders that he lived so long Tn this horrible condition. Many promi- nent physicians studied his case and gave it up as unaccountable.

Courtiur Widow.


 There is any amount of fun in courtlng a young girl who has not become used to it. She swal- lows all the soft things a fellow says, but when it comes to pop ping the question or something of that kind, she gets frightened more or less and wants time to consider until there are enough loopholes for her lover to slip out through without the least bit of trouble, if he happens to see some one he thinks he could love a shade or two better. Young girls are timid and shy in earnest, and if fellow is not pretty certain he has found precisely the angel he is looking for, he can manage so as to have the refusal of her for a year or more, and at the same time manage to keep hIs neck out of the reach of a breach of prom ise suit when he happens to meet some other sweet-faced angel that seems to him to be better suited to his tastes.
 It is different with a widow. She gets rid of all her shyness at the earliest convenient oppor- tunlty, and finds out the principal things she desires to know of him before she allows him to get ac- quainted. The school girl of six teen trusts herself to a fine young fellow on sixty or ninety days sight without security; but the widow, like a thrifty wholesale house, goes out and examines the mercantile reports concerning him, and then sells to him on her own terms for cash. She has him sized up before he comes to market, and when she looks as If she were a very artless creature, and fights shy of him whenever he happens to sit a little close to her on the sofa, there are ten chances to one that he will never look any further, but will buckle right up to her and put the ques- tion fairly and squarely, and when he has done so she is not going to tremble all over and blush and ask for a week or a month in which to make up her mind. She will just wind her arms around his neck and look up into his face with one of Ella Wheeler's fiery yearns, and before he has had time to catch his breath he will find himself nailed to the cross with a '.yes" that pierces him to his very Sou1 Fix

France has 3O.OO0 foundlings. The abandonment of so many children is due to an iniquitous statute in the French code, which Is all to the advantage of the stronger and to the disadvantage of the weaker sex. For the SUD- port or acknowledgement of a child not born in wedlock no man is legally responsible. The mother alone has to bear, not only the odium, but also the financial ex- penses connected with the fault she has committed.

A charming French lady, who passed through the painful days of the siege of Paris, was relating in her graceful way to a friend some of her experiences. She said that rats and mice, however disguised by intelligent cookery, became quite distasteful; the fat test cats palled upon the palate. If, however, stray pigeon hap pened to settle upon the roof, the street immediately became full of people seeking to entrap the deli cacy. It often happened, how ever, that the pigeon turned out to be messenger bird, and hence as sacred as the ibis of Egypt. ''In fact" said the story teller, ''this was so often the case that to this day I can never bear to eat pigeon. I always feel as if I were devouring a postman."-New York Graphic.

The recent hotel fire in Chicago had just burned through the roof when a peculiar change came over the sign which ornamented the front of the building. It was put up to read, ''Langham Hotel" but the heat melted the solder holding some of the letters, and the only portion of the sign which re- mained were the following ex- pressive combinations: '.NG," land right under it HOT" The crowd thought that the work of the flames was very appropriate to the occasion.

Anciently, in many parts of France, says writer, when a sale of land took place, it was the GUS tom to have twelve adult witnesses, accompanied by twelve little boys, and when the price of the land was paid, and its surrender took place, the ears of the boys were pulled and they were severely beaten, so that the pain thus in tiicted should leave an impression upon their memory, and, if re- quired, afterward, they might bear witness to the sale. Later. when a criminal was being exc cuted, parents whipped their children, so that they might take warning by the example and keep in the path of virtue.
