A Partridge's Language and Reason
ing Power.

A Bangor (Me.) correspondent of the
Lewiston journal says There is not a
schoolboy of fifteen years of age, who
lives in rural district, but knows that
a hen partridge not only has language,
but has great reasoning power, too. In
the first place she builds her nest, lays
and hat hes her eggs upon the ground.
Foxes, shunks. weasels, black cats and
other four-footed animals, roam about
her, seeking Just such food as the old
hen herself and hereggs, yet she so cum
ningly Conceals her habitation as often
to raise her entire brood. After a few
days she takes the chicks for the first
time into some travelled road, and while
there along comes a human being. In
the autumn this would send her whirring
through the woods, but now she stands
her ground, and in clear tones tells the
chickens just what to do, and they do it.
Every one of them, after listening to
the MOTHER ducks ITS head and skurries
away, dividing and hiding Then the
old hen flies off in an opposite direction,
drawing, as best she can, all attention to
herself. Why, ] have seen hen wait
until a dog was within six feet of her,
aud then tlutter .ust over his head, and
all the time telling the chickens to ''hurry
along" and then she alighted upon tree
where the dog could see her, thus draw.

BY the way, Mr.. Philosophers, how is
it, that when the hunting season comes
on, these same chicks will fly directly up
into tree when startled by a dog, aud

Deposits of Soda.

Along the Peruvian coast, stretching
for hundreds of miles, are the famous
beds of nitrate of soda, which purified
is saltpetre. These deposits, more
profitable than silver or guano, were dis
covered accidentally by vagrant named
George Smith, but were not operated to
any extent until recent years. Now,
nitrate, having been found a valuable
component Of hundred chemical forms,
is in demand the world over, and
millions of dollars worth is shipped
from the ports along the coast annually
Before its value was fully known, a
number of far-sighted men located
"elaims" after the fashion in vogue in
mining camps everywhere, and then the
Government stepped in and forbade any
further preemption. But the original
locltions cover enough of the deposit to

A SONG TO THE NAMELEss.

There are singers enough for the lofty,
On Ambitions exclusive plain,
My lay is for the lowly,
For the heroes without name.
For they whose souls are smoldering
In Dlsappointments fire,
Who never may know the sweet and the glow
OF the stations to which they aspire.
My song is framed for the mother
Who move in a temple of toll,
And for the gentle father
Whose sinews live in the soil.
In the history and lore of a nation
The deeds of the brilliant are wrought
With flaming pen. the food for men
Whose lessons are dearly bought.

And the sod-roofed pioneer "shacks,"
Are some whose tables are scanty,
Threadbare the coats on their backs.
With ever a feeling respectful,
For the being who wins the prize,
My harp is strung for the nameless,
Whose work obscurely dies
The deeds that in life passed unnoticed,
May fash when the day is done,
We can never know whose victory
Is most deservedy won
There are slaves enough to pamper
The dwelers in lordly halls,
In the path of the sad and lonely
The flower of my sentiment falls

Story of RougI-Hewn Millionaire.

A tall, ruddy faced Dutchess County
boy, so shapely, so bright eyed and free
of limb that he attracted many q passing
glance, was seen walking down Broad
way with Norvin Green, President of the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
The Dutchess County,boy had the bronze
of the frontier in his face and the muscle
of the miner in his back and legs. He
came by them fairly, too Nineteen years
ago he left Armenia, a pretty little viii
lage up in Dutchess, and ran away to be
a cowboy and fight Indians. He was Just
fourteen when ne got to Colorado, and
he hadn't a penny. He's just thirty-three
now, and he's got three millions of dol
lars, the constitution of an OK aud the
spirits of schoolboy. His name is
John d. Morrissey, and he lost $500, O)0
on the American turf last year. But he
has mines and real estate tha, he's made
out West since he used to carry tools for
the prospectors worth many times that
sum. Out of the Crown Point mine in
Colorado, Morrissey and Diamond Joe"
Reynolds took three millions three years
ago pd divided equally. Morrissey
couldn't read and write then. Now he IS
the head of many Colorado enterprises,
has been educated, has found another
rich mine, the Silvernite, in Gunnison
County, and is developing it with the aid
of NOrvin Green, the President of the
Silvernite Company. The story of the
education is romance.
When he and Diamond Jo" made
81, 500, 600 each out of the Crown Point,
he resolved that he would have to learn
to sign checks, and that quickly, too.
He got pretty girl who'd come out from
the East to be "school marm'' to teach
him, too. By the time he'd learned read
ing and writing his heart had learned
flowing, and he married his pretty school
teacher. Siv weeks ago his first child
was born, and to-day there isn't hap
pier man in town than John ID. Morrissey,
If he did lose half million and more on
his racing stable. While he kept on get
ting richer and richer he thought he
ought to have "a string of flyers" He
bought them, brought them East, backed
them and lost pot of money. Then he
sod them, and now he says he's done
with the turf. He has a clear brogue that
trills like the song. of the Irish thrush
and home in Denver that many poor
King might envy. Not far from the home
in Denver, Mr.. Norrissey has $500, 900
worth of real estate But he isn't a bit
proud. There hasn't been more popu-
lar man about the uptown cafes this fall.
His manners are as suave, as hearty and
as unaffected as if he'd had. bag of

w THE RANSOM WAS PAID,
On the helpless Flemish village

On the helpless Flemish village
Cruel Alva swooped and fell,
And the peace OF trade and tillage
Turned to martial clank and yell.
In the town-house, tall and handsome,
Slood the great duke, looking down
On the burghers prof'ring ransom
For the safety of the town.
Der his brow gray locks were twining--
For his casqus was laid aside,
And his good sword carved and shining
From his sword-belt was united
Prince he seemed Of born commanders,
Pride and power each gesture told,
As he cried: "Ye men Of Flanders,
Bring me twenty casks of gold!"
Then upon them fell sadness,
And a shadow like palll
While they mnrmured, "Tis rank madness
Such sum from us to calln
Aud the spokesman Of the village
Murmured feebly: "Sure you JEST
Answered Alva: "Gold or pillage-
Choose Whichever may suit you bestn
Faint and stunned, they turned despairing.
When arose laugh OF Joy
And before their startled staring
In there pranced little boy.
On his curls the dukes helm rested,
AS his noisy glee he roared,
And his good steed mailed and crested
Was great Alva's mighty sword!
Round about the room he gamboled
Peeping through the helmet bars;
Now he leaped and now he ambed-
Like a Cupid mocling Mars.
Then he estayed his merry prancing
And of Alva's knees caught hold,
Where ray of sunlight CHANGING
Turned his sunny curls to gold.
Swift the mother, sorely frightened,
Strove to take the cherub wild,
But the Dukes stern features lightened
AS he kept her from the child,
And he drank the pretty prattle--
For the baby knew no fear,
TIL his eye, so fierce in battle,
Softene1 with pearly tear.
For baby rose before him
In far Spain, ere wars alarms
thus his fathers sword upbore him.
Alva caught the boy in arms,
And, the pretty forehead barring,
Cried "A kissl" the child obeyed.
Then unto those men despairing
Alvas said; "Your ransom's paid!"'

How Flour Can BE Saved.

A more general use of corn meal for
the table is good suggestion in the way
OF piecing out the -four barrel especially
as many palatablc and sustaining prepara-
tions can be made therefrom. Eoth the
South and New England have long
utilized the value of Indian corn, and
wonderful results have followed the
industrious experiment of the kitchens
of both parts of the country. OF course,
considerable culinary skill is require to
make really light batch of pure corn
meal bread but there arc many simpler
compounds OF the material that can be
cooked successfully after few expert.
ments, and the much sought corn muffin
of the restaurant or bakery can be turned
out of home ovens while only one. sixth
of the wheat -four commonly apportioned
for breakfast or ordinary supper purposes
need be used. Hominy, samp, hullcd
corn and oatmeal already do great table
service, but the baked forms of corn
meal are heartler and not only. as Mr..
Sam Weller remarks, "werry film at
the price" but also 'sticks to the ribs, >
both worthy requisite considerations for
the working man. A good standard
recipe for corn meal bread is as follows:
Two cups of fine yellow meal, one cup
of flour, two cups of water, two table
spoons of sugar, half teaspoon of salt,
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, to
be mixed thoroughly. Then melt a
tablespoonful of best lard add it to the
previously made batter and again beat
into a thorough mixture; pour into
shallow tin pans or what are known as
gem moulds and bake twenty minutes in
a steadily hot oven.
A variation TO make a richer batter is
to use one beaten egg, and substitute
similar quantities of milk and butter for
water and lard. -Aeo York. IrijuRe,
