number Of sportsmen have been
discussing the question of how far a
quail can fly There are a good many
contingencies 10 be considered in arriv-
ing at definite conclusion Of the ques-
ton, the which cuts no uncomfortable
figure in the distance one of these birds
can fly II there is stiff wind blow
ing and the birds course is with the
wind, full grown quail could certain
ly go more than mile with ease and
doubtless much greater distance
Those who have noticed quail trying
to fly across the Missouri river, where
the distance is about a mile, recall that
not all the birds make the trip safely.
They usually pick spot where they
can make halt on sand bar in mid
stream, and thus cross the river in two
flights But sometimes they make the
distance at q single flight, and this
seems TO be their full limit under nor
NAL conditions, for when they alight
they are completely exhausted.
1t is generally believed that on an
average a mile is about the limit of the
flight of quail where it is neither fa-
vored nor retarded by the wind. 1t hap
pens very often that in crossing the
Missouri river at a single flight quail
drop exhausted into the water. Proba-
bly, these are young birds. st Louis

Some American girls are exceedingly
fortunate, especially in the amount of

bride of Mr.. Andrew Carnegie he gave
her $50 600 year, and few months
later presented her with palatial

with her husband yesterday. Curiously
enough for song bird, she has delicate

Europe the climate here proved too
severe, and her doctors ordered her
away at once People who heard Marina
Posta sing Mt recitals in Chicago few
years ago said that she had big voice.
She was a girl in her teens then. Now
they say she has the most marvellous
voice in the world. Mrs. o. L.. Fox OF

shakespeare's Women.

At the last meeting of a local literary
society the subject chosen for discus
sion was "Shakepseare's Women-Their
Voices" The decision arrived at was
that the tone of the women s voices of
today has become fuller and stronger,
besides being more manly in quality,
and that the girl of the present time
who was hent on carrying out prank
such as Rosalind's would find no diff
Guilty about suiting her voice to her dis
guise. The modern girl would not be
the least little bit bothered about that,
for who could distinguish in many in
stances the voice Of girl from that of
half dozen of her male friends. A low
pitch Of the voice in speaking is quite
as evident as in the case of singing, and
the scarcity of the tenor voice among
men, so often commented upon, seems
to be equally observable in the rarity Of
the soprano. Indeed the favorite songs
of few years ago would present in
many cases difficulties in the higher
notes TO most Of the singers whom one
meets with among one s musical friends
Few of us possess the ripping soprano
