list 1t should be remembered that the
quail makes it's nest in Europe only, and
Its sojourn there is not long enough to
cover the losses; quite the contrary.
1.-THE deficit is going on from year to
year. and soon we will reach the end.
This has been increased by the English
occupation of Egypt. The English like
quail and export quantities of them to
| the mother country.
| Is there any remedy for this state of
| things, or must we strike the quail from
the list of our game birds? There was
conference for the protection of game
birds in 1895, when the orators spoke
great deal about birds, but that was all.
Since then the French government made
certain efforts, which were not success
| full, with a view Of preserving the game.
The transport of quail upon our terrific
nv during the close season was forbid
| den by law but on the representation
of the transport companies the law was
| repealed Switzerland requested the
Austrian government to prohibit the
transport of quail through Austria and
Hungary. Germany proposed to France
to send a joint request to England to
stop the importation of quail during
determined period. France, Switzer-
land and Germany forbade the trans
port during the close season. The joint
request was made; but England replied
by an absolute refusal, the foreign office
saying that it was doubtful whether
there was any necessity to take special
measures to prevent the destruction Of
quail. But the method Of transporta-
ton from Egypt seemed too cruel, and
consequently the English government
instructed the consul-general at Cairo
to see to it that the transport was made
sin the most humane manner possible"
The Society for the Prevention of CRU
city to Animals could not have made
better reply.
The English want to make money out
of the quail as long as the latter remain,
and when there are no more they will
occupy themselves with something else.
But it seems to us, nevertheless, that we
are sufficiently strong to be able to get
along without the assistance of England.
Let Germany, France, Austria and
Switzerland come to an agreement to
forbid the transport Of the game
through their territory during the close
season. The question would then be
solved ipso facto. They could be trans
ported only by way Of Gibraltar but
this would not last long, on account of
the great mortality among the birds
during so long a voyage. When the ex
porters begin to lose quarters of
their merchandise they will give up the
business. That is the way to do it,
With a little firmness and mutual
agreement on the part of the Continen
tai countries the quail VIII be saved and |
we will have them in abundance. 9th
erwise the twentieth century will bid |
farewell to quail on toast.-Courier des
Etats Unis.

QUAIL DIFFERENTIATION.

"a French Call for Some Action by the
Continental Countries.
This generation will witness the final
destruction of the quail, and it will be
largely the fault of the English. The
hunters have told us repeatedly that the
quail is diminishing in numbers every
year. Formerly an ordinary sportsman
could shoot from two to three dozen
quail in a day; now when the season
opens, if an expert brings home dozen,
he is considered fortunate. But it is not
the gun that is making the game
scarce; there is another and more Sc
rious cause.
The quail is migratory bird and
crosses the Mediterranean twice year,
once to come to Europe and again to re-
turn to Africa. Now at each passage
enormous captures of quail are made.
AT Alexandria shiploads of them are
carried away. They are taken to Mar
settles and to Trieste, and the cargoes of
birds are sent across the continent to
England They are exported by hun
dreds of thousands to London. The
crowding of them on board the vessels
and the rough weather kill nearly fifty
DER cGIIl. lie gaps ulc Idpluly lilCu up.
The Arabs have only to set their nets
upon the plains of Lower Egypt during
the passage of the birds in October and
In May.
Quail abound in Africa in the spring,
cross the sea and alght, tired and hun
cry upon the shores of Greece, in the
islands, in Italy, upon the coast of Pro-
vence and in Spain. And in all these
places they are captured by all sorts of
devices 1t is easy to catch the poor
birds, when they are half dead from
hunger and fatigue. At Capri the mas
sacre is general; they are taken or killed
by thousands each day At Rome
sometimes twenty thousand quail reach
the market in single day. In the Gre
clan archipelago so many Of them are
killed that they are sailed down by
tons. At Santorn they are preserved in
vinegar.
On the shores of France, notwith-
standing the law, which people seem to
forget considerable quantities are also
caught; so that, after all these massa-
ores, one may well be surprised that the
nomadic tribe which flies toward the
north is not entirely decimated. Some,
of course, still remain in our fields and
meadows. The fecundity of the species
is enormous otherwise Africa would
see very few of them. The birds in
crease in numbers considerably in Eu-
rope and when the cold weather arrives
they return to the warm countries
Then it is no longer the thin little bird
which came to US at the close of the
winter. On the contrary it is fat and
plump; it has gained strength in the
fields of France and Germany and the
flesh is fine and delicate. Consequent
1y when these little emigrants arrive in
ewarms upon the shore there is per
feet rush to catch them. The islands of
the Levant and the shores of the Bos-
phorus get enormous quantities Of them.
What remain succeed in crossing the
Mediterranean, after which the hunt be-
gins again. Nevertheless, quail still ex-

BOUNTY FOR FOXES.


Opposition to Proposed Law by Fox
Hunters
Mddletown, Conn, March Fox
hunters from this vicinity and Portland
have held an informal meeting to dis
euss the ACCESSIBILITY Of opposing the
bill before the legislature providing for
a bounty for the Killing of foxes.
The opinion was that such a law
would be of no advantage to the state
unless adjoining states passed a similar
measure. 1t was argued that it would
be used to the advantage of unscrupu-
lous persons at the expense Of the state,
as there can be no provision against a
resident of other states bringing what
ever is required as evidence into Con-
necticut and getting the bounty.
An instance was cited which shows
how such a law could be abused. A few
years ago Lyme offered a bounty on
foxes, and the claimant was obliged to
present to the seectmen the ears of the
fox This was accepted as evidence that
the person was entitled to the bounty
and he received an order on the treasur-
err. After considerable money had been
paid out in this way it was learned that
Lyme had been paying bounties on fox
es killed in adjoining towns. The town
repealed the vote, but took no action
against those who had, through misrep-
resentation, obtained the bounties. 1t is
claimed that the same scheme could be
worked statewise, and those interested
about here have decided to oppose the
bill.
A number of fox hunters from Middle
town and Portland will appear before
the legislative committee for that pur-
pose

"PENN'S MILESTONES."

For the last three months or more an
unavailing search has been made by
parties interested in the collection of
historic relics for some trace of the old
milestone that in generations gone by
marked the distances on the old Gulf
and Haverford roads in Montgomery
County. These milestones, carved out
of sandstone blocks, were known as
"Penns mile-stones," because on one
side of them were craven William
PENIS arms, three balls inclosed in an
oblong, often spoken Of as the apple
dumplings." The stones were placed on
the roads by an old fire insurance COM
pany as a price for its charter from the
Penn family, and gave the distances in
miles from Philadelphia. Several of the
stones We're standing for the guidance
of travellers as late as fifty years ago.
Apropos of the three balls on the arms
of Founder Penn, there was once a
tradition, of course unfounded, that
Penn was Toasted with dumplings by
the Indian King Tammany at the
Treaty tree, and thereafter adopted
three balls to represent dumplings on
his coat of arms-Philadelphia Record.
