Something About Partridges.

Among the habits of the partridge
one is that when a covey is roosting on
the ground, with their tails punched to-
gether in circle, the bunch is sur
mounted by line of watchful heads,
like sentines on duty. Another is that
they run the instant the ground is
touched after Flush" the dogs often
trailing then, i'll rabbit hunting fashion.
Their sense of smell is evidently very
acute, for during the nesting season, if
the eggs, which number from 10 to 20,
are disturbed i'll any way or a hand even
inserted in the nest, it will be immedi
short time previous to the nesting the
males are often involved in desperate
combats for the choice of mates, who
stand by and quietly watch the encoun-
ter, seeming not to care which one be-
comes the victor The incubation is
performed entirely by the female, the
male, when not feeding, often being
perched on some slight elevation, ell
couraging her by his mellow toned call
OF "bobwhite. Two and sometimes
three broods Of young are reared during
season, the nesting beginning as early
as May l. Later in the fall the bronds
of young occasionally join forces, but
whether from want of company or fer
protection is not known.
When feeding, the birds are some-
times scattered several yards apart, but
at the first s,gn of danger an alarm is
given, aud they Immediately "bunch,"
with their heads placed close together,
as if in consultation. The first shot into
a covey will often cause them to break
and fly in all directions, and if not dis
turbed again for several minutes "scat-
ter calls" will be heard on every side
These are made to collect the remaining
birds, who again bunch. Many of the
market gunners seem to have no qualms
of conscience and very often kill with
out hesitation an entire cOvcy, when at
least one or two pairs Of birds should
be left for breeders. Baltimore Sun.

How the Hoboken Turtle Club Concocts
Its Time Honored Turtle Soup.
Good livers will be intert sted in this
recipe.
BY it $50 pounds of turtle will pro-
duce 80 gallons of soup. 1t is the recipe
used by the Hoboken Turtle club for
many generations, and the original
recipe is now in the hands of the stew
ard of the club:
Take kettle Of 30 gallons capacity
and fill nearly full of water. Put i'll 8
sets of calves feet 1922, we'll cleaned,
and 80 necks of beef To this add 2
dozen parsley, dozen leeks, a half peck
of small onions and sat and pepper to
suit Boil the whole to rags, about 20
hours
Kill the turtle, scald off the thin out
side glazed portion and take off fins. Put
the she'll, cut up into small pieces. into
boiling water until the citron comes off.
Then add the turtle meat, also cut in
small pieces. To this add the meat of 8
calves heads which have been sufi-
ciently boiled to remove the skin.
Strain off the stock through fine
sieve. Strain twice out of pot and back
again. Now add citron and boil three
hours. Then add turtle meat and calves
heads and boil the whole until the cit
ron is wholly DONE
Add these spices: Quarter pound each
of ground allspice, ground cloves, ground
mace and ground nutmegs, a pound of
sweet marjoram and the same of thyme
and summer savory, with black and
cayenne pepper to taste.
Put the spices into two small salt
bags and drop into the pot until salts
factorily seasoned, taking out and put
ting in again from time to time and
occasionally squeezing the bags into the
pot.
After adding the turtle meat and
calves heads boil five hours until all
the sour taste is gone Boil over slow
fire and be sure to keep we'll stirred to
avoid burning.
When cooked and poured into vessels,
let it get perfectly cool before covering
up or touching with spoon. 1t should
assume gelatinous consistency. Keep
at same temperature. Use gallons each
of claret sherry and brandy.

POISONOUS POTATOES.
An AlkalOid Called Solanine Does Great
Damage Sometimes.


Damage Sometimes.
1t is not very rare to see serious ac-
cidents happen by poisoning from the
use of potatoes i'll places where food is
supplied by contract, as III schools, pris
ons and barracks, and astonishment is
expressed that this precious and highly
estimated food stuff should be capable
know that the potato, even when ALSO
lutely sound. contains certain amount
of vegetable alkaloid called solaniue.
The remarkable point is that this SOL
anime is much more abundant i'll sum-
mer than i'll winter; whereas it amounts
to .044 per kilogram from November
to February, it reaches the figure Of 1856
in July and August This evil would
not be very great if the production of
the alkaloid were not still further in
creased by the process of termination
and putre1action of the potato. The use
of potatoes deteriorated in this way may
give rise to cases of poisoning character
lied by vomiting, diarrhea, fever, di-
lated pupils, convulsions and profuse
sweating.
1t is usually in the months of June
and July that these accidents occur at
the moment when the potatoes Of the
preceding year have begun to germirate
and rot. The contractors of the above
mentioned establishments send these po-
tatoes there, since they have no longer
any marketable value, because the new
potatoes are already large and reduced
i'll price.
1t is therefore necessary to watch
these supplies i'll a most careful manner
and to refuse potatoes that show any
black or softened spots or that have be-
gun to germinate. AS a general thing
potatoes used in eating should be as
fresh as possible Paris Herald.

HEROiSM IN MINES.
instances Where Brave Men Have Risked
Their Lives to Save Others.

1nSr$AACeS " mere brave Men Have K1SSe0
Their Lives to Save Others.
Never was there mining disaster of
any magnitude without several in
stances of individual gallantry in saw
ing boys alone, says writer in Chums.
AS a colliery manager said the other
day, ''There may be score of cases of
that kind after single accident and
nobody be any the wiser.
"a boy to>d me once" he proceeded,
that after an explosion one Of the men
who was with him brought him along
considerable distance in the workings
At last they met the afterdamp. The
lad was so terrified, so anxious to get
out, that he wanted to rush through
and make his way to the shaft. If he
had gone on, he certainly would have
dropped, but the man would not let
him. He stopped him by force, and
though the lad bit and fought like
little demon he stuck to him and held
him near to the ground, SO that they
could breathe. How do you think he
calmed the boy at last? Sang comic
songs to him. Well, they had to keep
where they were for about five hours,
and then, when 5he air had got better,
the man started off and brought the
youngster out safely, though once he
was nearly suffocated by the afterdamp.
Now, there's a case that nobody would
have heard of probably if the lad hadn't
happened TO have told me about it.
As an instance of heroism in this di
rection thar is known, however, l re-
call story heard near the bank of the
Hyde pit after the explosion in 1889.
You know that the slightest delay in
flying for the shaft may mean death.
In the neighborhood of Bolton some
few years ago one man out of a party
of colliers stopped behind for a minute
or so to look for his son, hoy of IA.

met, but, alas, they perished there to-

thus manifested has cost many brave

WHOLE NUN BER. 1913.
LAVENDER LEAVES.

The waving corn was green and gold,
The damask roses blown,
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up drowsy drone,.
When Mistress Standish, folding down
Her linen, white as snow,
Bewteen it laid the lavendar,
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes of grayish green,
Still moist with morning dew,
Recalled a garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue
An English garden. quaint and old,
She never more might know
And so she dropped a homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin
And fell i'll many shred.
Some went to bind a soldiers wounds,
And some to shroud the dead.
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw
And violets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across it to and fro
The ghost of linen laid to bleach
One summer long ago.
