THE OLD RELIABLE.

Among our most valued exchanges
for this year is the "Old Relia ble''
Kansas Farmer published at Topeka
Kansas. 1t was established twenty
eight years ago and has survived all
the hardships incident to newspapers
in the west, and is today not only the
pioneer agricultural journal of the
West, but compares favorably with
the best farm journals of the United
States in every way. 1t is devoted ex-
clusively to every interest of the West
ern farmer, and every issue is well
worth the small subscription price of
one dollar per year. 1t is issued every
week on toned book paper, nicely
trimmed and pasted and contains from
sixty-fOur to eighty columns of matter
devoted to discussions of the farm,
field, orchard, home circle and state
craft. The Kansas Farmer is the rec
ognized authority on Western agricul-
ture and every farmer who desires to
improve or prosper in his work, needs
the paper.
Its special departments are Live
Stock, Hnsbandry, Dairying, Horti-
culture, Poultry and Bees, Veterinary,
Home Culture and Young Folks. The
Market Reports are a feature being
specially prepared, full reliable and
accurate.
The Alliance Department will con-
tain all official matter of the a Alliance,
Grange, and +. NJ. B. A., as well as
important Stair and National news of

The Different Names We Give to GrouI
of Beasts and Birds.

The Different Names We Give to Groups
of Beasts and Birds.
1t is a very curious fact that the En-
glish language has a separate word to
designate nearly every kind of beast or
birds in groups. To be sure, some Of
these distinctive terms are used by few
except sportsmen or naturalists, but the
majority of them are more or less ia
miliar in common speech, especially
where groups of the different animals
are found. We suppose that tho use of

but it would take much research to as
certain these reasons, and this we have
not time to give due subject But we
offer table which shows in brief space,

various classes of animals; perhaps
some of our readers can add to it:
A covey Of partridges,
A nide of pheasahts,

A bevy of quail,
A fight OF doves or swallows
A muster Of peacocks,

A troop Of monkeys.

of the above oddities of language. we

THIS:

The January Magazines,

The two uppermost questions in the
world to-day are doubtless the Indian
question in this country and the Irish
question in Great Britain. Both OF
these find adequate treatment in the
pages of the January North AmcricH'
RerieW. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, an
expert of the very highest authority,
deals with the future of the Indian
problem, and reiterates the view
which he expressed in this magazine
thirteen years ago. The distinguished
historian, w. f. H. Lecky, writes
luminously of "Ireland in the Light
of History" Mr.. Lecky's opinion of
the unfitness of the Irish people for
self-government is presented in this
article with admirable clearness and
force. Another grave question which
is pressing for solution i'll this country
is that of the restriction of immigra-
ton. This finds adequate treatment
at the hands of the Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge, the eminent member of Con-
gress from Massachusetts. Mr.. Lodge
is the author of bill on the subject
introduced in Congress since the pres
ent session began, and his views as
set forth in detail in the Rerie,U will
command wide attention. \ number
of other articles on live topics by
hardly less notable writer's, brings
this number of the Rerie,C fully up to
its usual high standard.

The first instalment of the selections
from Talleyrand's long-expected Mem
oirs is the most striking feature of the
January Century. A sketch of Talley-
rand by Minister Whitelaw Reid pre-
faces this instalment. The opening
pages tell of Talleyrand's neglected
childhood, and his entry into Partisan
society. They also give his views OF
Lafayette, and the effect of the
American on the French Revolution;
some account of the beginnings of the
latter; very contemptuous opinion of
the Duke of Orleans; sketch of the
authors stay in England and the
United States, and highly interest
ing conversation between himself an /
Alexander Hamilton on Free Trade
and Protection.
