Then pointing to the spring she said
to me: THAT run was sight all the

of the others rudely dispelled my illu-

A Bishop Saved by His Dog.
From a Vienna Letter.

hear the following from friend in
Buda- Pesth: A few days ago the new
bishop of Waltzen, in Hungary, was sit
ting at dinner in his own house with
seven friends, when, all at once. small
dog belonging to him ran up and, seiz-
ing the tail of his coat, tried Co pull him
towards his bedroom door, which
opened into the dining-room. At first
be drove the animal away, but it
whined piteously and his guests adj
vised him to see what it wanted. The
bedroom door was thrown open, and by
the light from the dining-room the bish-
op aud his friends discovered man
hidden under the bed armed with a
large knife. He was dragged out and
made to confess that he had escaped
from the town jail and was bent on rob-
berry.

Demonstrating Quail.

Some years ago, writes a correspond
ent of Forest and Stream, brought
from North Carolina to New Jersey some
fifteen or twenty pairs of quail to put
out on my own place. | kept them in
my barn from February to the middle
of April, feeding them on split peas,
their favorite food in Northern Caro-
lima, and giving them free access to wa
ter. [ found they became tame
April they continued to remain for
some time in the vicinity of the barn.
The place was very favorably situated
for stocking, stream running along the
edge Of the wood with cultivated land
on one side, at intervals patches of good
wOOdcOck grounds, and two or three
bottoms of old mill dams overgrown
with alders and raspberries. [ had
food scattered in various places for
them until they paired. The most of
them raised broods. but they continued
to be much tanner than the native quail,
and as consequence were nearly all
shot the first season, some Of them be-
fore the law was up, by outside parties,
no attention being paid to the fact that
the land was posted. From my Obser
walton / would say that peas constitute
good food for quail. Patches Of peas
and buckwheat should be sown in shell
tered places on the grounds where
birds are turned out When these are
fairly started it is good plan to scatter
light branches and bramble over them
so as to furnish shelter from hawks
while the birds are feeding. Thick
patches of bramble furnish the best
shelter There should be turned out as
nearly as possible an equal number of
cocks and hens. 1t is said that un-
mated cocks break up the nests and de-
stroy the eggs of the mates they could
not win. The birds should not be on
hand long enough to become familiar
with man, and so become tame and
dependent. If they become so-and
they can be made as chickens-some
method should be used to make them
wild before they are shot at.

men, and try and use wind and steam
power in the place of draft animals. A
man owning large estate can no longer
encourage his boys to remain on the
old homestead by offering to divide it
among them. They all know that in
most parts of the country small farming
does not pay as well as large farming
The smaller the farm the larger must be
the relative amount expended IL build
ings and fences. A small farm REQUIRES
about as many machines as larger
one, and they can be employed but
small portion of the time. Observation
shows that small farms are taxed high
er than large ones in proportion to their
size.
Then it must be remembered that the
desire to engage in farming, stock
breeding, dairying, and meat produc-
tons is generally less strong with the
young man than with those of mature
age. Youth likes the excitement Of the
city, but old age seeks the quiet of the
country. At one period in the history
of this country and England nearly ev-
cry man who had prospered in bust
ness in large town or by following
the sea" had an ambition to own a farm
and to occupy it. To be country gen
tleman, with all the expression implied,
was the browning hope of life. Since
the period Of the civil war the desire to
spend the later years of life in the
country has been less strong for many
reasons. No department of husbandry,
except breeding fine stock, has been
very profitable, and recently there have
been small gains in that. The cities
have been more attractive and produc-
tive of pleasure. On the other hand,
country life offers fewer attractions. A
large number of farms are occupied by
a class of foreigners, who, though not
Objectionable neighbors, contribute
nothing to social pleasures. Taking all
these things in consideration, it is not
strange that boys are not attracted to
farm life Chicago Times.

cheap broom-corn is of a sickly yellow
orlemon color. Manufacturers who use
only the green splints assert that the
manufacturers OF the yellow splints give
them green bath, and that the color

when the housewife takes a splint to try
