believes that the modern partridge as de-
veloped by civilization is a dspraved and
utterly abandoned creature, unsuitable
for the tables of respectable families and
wholly unfit to associate with other birds
that have any self-respect. MIR. Hart

fruit. Last fall he ground and pressed

to less than 81 barrel, after which the

very fond of the seeds. and as they had

the sun the brown apples thawed out and
exuded juices that We're sweet and sting
Ing TO the taste. In a month the frozen

had bunch of froth in the little hollow
which holds the stem. The partridges
were whirring about the orchard, from
sun-up until dark, growing fat upon the
nut-brown seeds, which could be shelled
out easily. Along in April Mr.. Hart
noticed that the birds did not show them
selves in the orchard at all, and waded
down through the deep snow to learn IL
they had eaten up all the apples that re-
manned on the trees.
He found plenty of apples on the limbs.
and uEder the trees he picked up four
plump cartridges that We're suffering
from some form of paralysis. They
couldn't walk or fly, but when he took
them up and carried them home they
huttered all the way and rolled their
eyes in a way that indicated they were
suffering intensely. He threw them on
tho gr4nary floor, and when he opened
the door the next morning all four Of
them were beating their heads against
the window trying TO get out. When lib

nothing unusual had happened.
The following afternoon, Mr.. Hart
found three more cartridges suffering
from the same malady and placed them

six hours later found five cartridges laid

experiment for week. finding from
three to six cartridges every day. Then
he did some tall thinking and came to
the conclusion that the birds had made
themselves drunk on apple brandy that
had been manufactured from frozen sour
apples by liberal application of sun
light. Mr. Hart, being rigid prohibi-
ZIONIST, has made vow that he will new

winter. He hopes that by removing the
temptation the misguided pa rtridges
may see the error into which they have
fallen and resolve to lead better lives in
the future.

We are glad TO see that the stories of
the American soldiers in the Philippines
about the shooting of prisoners and the
general looting of property are to be in
vestigated by the authorities. President
Mckinley is said to have been much dis
turbed by them, and nobody who has any
regard for the reputation of our army
could have read them without feeling of
deep regret. The propensity for romano
ing and telling big stories belongs to
soldiers as we'll as to sailors, and very
likely some Of the worst tales that have
come from them are tigments of the
Imagination, told in q spirit Of bra
vado. But there have been SO many
of them and they have agreed SO we'll in
their charges OF shooting Of prisoners and
plundeling that to dismiss them without
an inquiry into their truth would not
satisfy the public. What We expect will be
found Is that the allegation that orders
have been given not to take prisoners,
or to shoot them when they become an
encumbrance is utterly false; and that
If any shooting of prisoners has been done
it has occurred under circumstances that
afford some extenuation, and perhaps,
complete defence, such for instance as an
attempt on their part to escape or perhaps
to attack stealthily their captors. 1t can
not be possible that any American officer
ever issued the sanguinary order alleged,
but in the present state of public opinion
regarding the Philippine enterprise it
would be well to have 1t proved by in
controvertible evidence that no such order
was ever given. An enterprise for the
promotion of civilization and Christianity
one feature of which was the shooting of
helpless prisoners, would probably soms-

most enthusiastic crusaders

The Atlanta Constitution has opened
its columns for suggestions as to the best
ways to protect the women of the South,
and 1t Is getting great many. A woman
recommends the lynohing of about a
thousand negroes a week as the best safe
guArdi teaching women how to handle
revolSers and shot guns is recommended
by many, while others want large
militia force raised and scattered about in
the sparsely settled sections. The two
last suggestions are proper enough but
we are inclined 30 think that If the whites
would bend some of their energies to the
elevation of the oolored race they would
supplement the other protective m sas ures
by one more valuable in the long run than
all of them. Since emancipation the
Southern whites have done very much for
the degradation of the colored man, and
very little for bis Improvement. They
have constantly brutalized him by savage
treatment. All the political rights guar
anteed by the constitution have been
taken away from him by force and fraud,
scant facilities have been afforded for his
education, and those almost always
grudgingly, and even his right TO live has
been denied on very slight provo
cation. We imagine that even white
men habitually treated in this way would
eventually become brutalized and danger
Gus to society. When one remem bers

The promoters of the Pacific Coast Biscuit company have paid $2OO, 900 in cash as the first payment on the pur- chase of seven of the principal cracker and candy factories on the Pacific coast. This is the consummation of the cracker combination which was formed last spring by eastern invest ors. headed by K. w. Warner of Syra- cuse, N.

 A Seattle, Wash, dispatch of the 2lst instant, speaking of the recent earthquakes in the far north, says: The steamer Rosalie bears upon her stem mute evidence of the general shaking up which has occurred in the north. When the steamer crossed the entrance tO Taku Inlet she en- countered fields of icebergs, through which she had to pick her way. Into one of these foes the steamer struck her nose with force enough to break away portion of the stem and the iron plating that binds it down. The unusual quantity of ice is due to the breaking away of the face of Taku glacier. The Rosalie passengers say landmarks have disappeared, and where green-fringed shores were before the earthquake, now stand pools of salty water. The Yakutats and the Klinkets and other tribes fell on their faces and implored the Great Spirit to stay His wrath and let His anger pass. There was also a tidal wave twenty feet high. The disturbance was felt 100 miles inland and was very violent even at that distance.
