Frank T. Redwood is interested In
the increase of wild fowl in this coun-
try. and has an idea that Chinese quail
may be successfully introduced. A
friend brought him six of these birds
a year ago. They were liberated in
Talbot County, and flew off in the
woods as naturally as though in China.
But that was the last ever seen Of
them. They have disappeared entire
", so Ear as Mr.. Redwood or his friends
have been able to discover. Mr. Red
wood is still firm in his faith that this
species of bird will flourish in America,
and to this end has arranged to have
twenty pair brought over from China
and let loose in the woods Of Maryland.

JOB xvii, %.
This allusjen seems to be dramatic. The
BIBLE moro than once makes such illusions.
.aei says: 1--WE are made theatre or spec
ssoie to angels and to men," 1t is evident
from the text that some OF the habits of
tneatregoers were known In Jobs time, be-
cause he describes an actor Kissed off the
stage: The impersonator comes on the
boards and, either through lack OF study of
me part he Is to take or happiness or other
incapacity, the audience is offended and ex-
presses Its dtsapprobation and disgust by
hisslng. MEN shall clap their hands at
MN and shall hiss him out of his place."

put on the stage OF this world to take some
part. What hardship and suffering and discip-
hne great actors have undergone year after
