her mate built their nest within y few feet
of the window, and it often happened that
Joe neglected his work in Watching the

ench side carefully until they had formed
a littlo unnel three or four feet long.
When this was done MIRA. Partridge made
scratch and hutter just AZ a hen does when
taking I dust bath. She was following out
her nest. BY the time the nest was com
pleted the archway of grass that hid it was
considerably d~isarranged. Then Mrs.
Partridge quietly sat ON the little hollow
she had made, while Mr.. Partridge rebuilt
the archway over her until she was com
pletely concealed. He was very careful
about this. Frequently he would walk off a
litlc way and turn and look at the nest. II
his sharp eyes could see anything suspicious
closely together. Finally he seemed to be
satisfied with his work. He shook his
wings and began to preen himself, and
then Mrs. Partridge came out and Joined

to find the nest when he went out of the

so deftly was it concealed: and he would
have been compelled to hunt for it very

The one queer feature about The Coun-

Another feature of The Countryman

The origin of the iirecrackers, according to
w. Woodville Rockhill, the Thibetan OK
plorer, is as follows:
Firecrackers were originally joints Of
bamboo. They are made of paper ut pres.
emit, but the Chinese lame. ''bamboo gun"
shows what they were. The bamboo
crackers made a very loud noise like our
''cannon crackers" Perhaps the fragments
of bamboo flew abou when they exploded,
making them dangerous. SO that paper was
substituted. In making bamboo crackers
were pierced. powder sifted in, and a fuse
introduced. 1t is interesting to see the way
the present tirocrackers, with their pattl-
tions of clay, follow the old bamboo pat
tern.

up, she managed to futter off just out of
reach of his hand. Joe followed along
after Mrs. Partridge for some little dis
lance, aud he discovered that the further
she led him away from her nest tho more
her condition improved, until. finally, she
ran OF into the sedge and Disappeared. Joe
has never been able to find anyone to tell
him how Mrs. Partridge knew what kind
up. He has been told that it is the result
of instinct. The scientists say, however,
that instinct is the o%utgrowth of necessity,
but it seems hard to believe that necessity
could have given Mrs. Partridge such ac-
curate knowledge of the movements Of a
wounded bird.
