if It lie in the coloring of the flesh, beautiful

He felt sure that she had removed her
eggs, and after short search he found her
sitting under the hedge upon twenty-one
eggs, out OF which she brought nineteen birds
The round of blowing had occupied about
twenty minutes in which short space Of
time this anxious mother, probably assisted
by the cock bird, had removed the twenty
one eggs to a distance of about forty yards.
The appearance of the common partridge
is so well known that no description of its
size and plumage is necessary. If we have
not all had the pleasure of witnessing covev
of these birds rising with loud whirr from
among the stubble fields in the autumn, we
have, at least, seen the pretty gray hecied
creH lures lying in melancholy rows in the
pOultcrer's shop.
The partridges nest is usually on the
ground among brushwood or in fields of
clover or corn, and generally contains from
twelve to twenty eggs, of a brown color.
The young birds run with the greatest agility
as soon as Matched. Both the parent birds
show strong attachment to their chicks,
and great courage in defending them from
every kind of danger. 1t is said that the
part; ige will resort to stratasem to save its
young-dra wing of any enemy, such as dogs,
in another direction By tuttering close be-
fore them as though broken winged, while
the brood escape Until the END of autumn
the parent birds and their brood keep to-
gether in a cOvey. Later in the season, how
ever, several coveys unite into pack, when
it becomes much more difficult for the sports
man to approach them.
During the moving season nests of par
tridges are sometimes discovered among the
long grass, and the eggs taken out and put
under brood hen 10 be Matched. 1t is said
that the young chicks, to be successfully
reared, require to be fed on ants eggs, and
that when brought up in captivity they be-
come very tame.

Training Nurses,

Mrs. Robert W. Chaplin, of this city CIew
York;, has hit upon a very happy idea in de-
Gliding to found a training school for chill
dren'S nurses and in endowing it with about
$4,000. SO much ignorance is displayed by
nurses, and SO many children are made I'M
happy by the treatment received at their
hands, that 1t is surprising that Mrs. Cha
pin plan has not been adopted long ere this.
In the city of New York, and, In fact,
throughout the whole country, competent,
considerate children's nurses are decidedly
scarce. The proper bringing up of the
young is too lightly regarded by a good
many mothers, but if Mrs, Chapin's new
school will do its work we'll by turning or
really well trained nurses, not only many a
little one who is now intrusted by its fash
ionable mamma to the tender mercies of an
untutored hireling, but the whole community,
will be the gamer. Epoch.

A farmer who was one day looking after
bis plowmen saw partridge glide off her
nest 30 near the foot Of one Of tia horses that
he thought the eggs must have been crushed.
On going to examine the nest, he found that
the old bird was on the point Of Matching, as
several of the eggs were already Clipped He
saw the old bird return to her nest the in
slant he left the spot, though it was evident
that the next round Of the pillow must bury
the eggs and nest In the furrow, His sur
prise was great, however, when, returning
with the plow, he came to the spot and saw
the nest indeed, but the eggs and bird were
gone.

much idea of the amount Of food required for
wild animals in captivity. Mr.. Bartlett, the
superintendent of the famous London Zoolog-
zeal gardens, calculates the daily provision
for full grown elephant at $50 pounds alto
gether in weight, consisting Of hay and
straw, roots, rice, bread and biscuit He
also says that elephants are fond OF spirits.
The food of the hippopotamus is estimated
TO be about 2OO pounds day in weight and
consists chiefly Of hay, grass and roots. The
daily provender of giraffe weighs about
fifty pounds. 1t is rather dainty feeding
oats, and green food in summer. The lions
and tigers obtain eight or nine pounds of
meat per diem. This is usually horse flesh. as
there is "A constant supply of carcases of horses
to be bought at a cheap rate.
The geological gardens themselves supply
a few odds and ends of meat, such as the sur
plus guinea pigs or the young sparrows, which
are Matched in nests that the old birds i'm
pudently build on the premises. There is
scarcely an animal in the gardens that is not
ready TO catch the live spairows that au-
daciously enter their cages. lion has been
seen TO seize and swallow an impudent spar
row that was pecking at the bones in his den.
As to the iackals and foxes, they make very
short work with any bird that has trespassed
in their cages; while the monkeys are still
more excited when they catch victim, and,
with the inherent cruelty Of their race, they
usually torture the miserable bird by pulling
out Its feathers before they bite its head of
