PHEASANTS IN WESTCHESTER.

AS POULTRY.

AS POULTRY.
There be doubt of the fact that quail
and partridge are becoming less every year. and
that the pheasant will soon become the popular
game bird of this country"
This statement made by the who has
charge of pheasant raising establishment in
Westchester County, and while there
proofs at hand TO demonstrate the falling off in
the number of the species named, there
ample evidence of the prosperity of the pheas-
ant family.
About four years ago few birds We're brought
to the place which is owned by Clarence Whit
man, and later a few added by importa-
ton Mr.. Whitman wished 10 make expert
ment in raising the birds The results We're
satisfactory from the start. and the coOps and
other Enclosures now contain about three hun
dred birds, many at large p the woods
about Mr.. Whitmans place and more than five
hundred have been sold. In the early stages of
the experiment the birds produced by the
natural processes but after a short time incu-
bators were employed with good results. and no
other means of Matching has been used since
then The yield from the incubators has aver
aged about - per cent.
The eggs gathered from the coops and are
placed in the incubators where they remain
about twenty-five days. The young pheasants
are then taken To the 'brooders' near by. where
they remain eight ten weeks Here they ac-
quire strength and courage sufficient To wander
away and become Independent. They Outgrow
their bahyhood but although they are liberated
they return daily 10 be fed rations of minced
onions boiled eggs and lettuce. with boiled rice

The sportsman has discovered the Westchester
phclstnts. and is doing his share toward reduc-
ing their number. About ~ per cent of the

at 81 "A pair. and the demand for eggs at ~
cents each is greater than the supply.
William Mills. who has watched the birds
closely since they brought to the Whit
man place and who manages the pleasantly for
c. Morton Whitman said that the hens lay about
one hundred and fifty eggs in season, and that

the incubator results are good as with pOul-
try. In order to prevent degeneration frequent
additions have been made to the flock by i'm
portations from England. and the pheasants in
WestChester County look like and have the same
characteristics their English ancestors.

CiSTIGLIONE'S ECCENTRICITTES
"REMINISCENCES OF THE FAMOUS ITALIAN
BEAUTY.
BEAUTY,

Paris correspondence of The London Globe.
In connection with the Castiglione sale which
still continues filling the Hotel Drouot with an
immense crowd each day, the Echo de Paris
publishes some interesting details concerning
the famous beauty. These details would lead
one to suppose that she must have been the
typical Italian woman of high birth, religious,
slIperstitious intriguing. and, above all. fasci-
mating: clever. but rather with the ceverness of
the woman of the Middle Ages than of the mod

vaudeville numbers.

'Don Cesar de Bazan'' will be the attraction
this week at three theatres in the city. and it
would be hard to say when that ever happened
before, whether ii ever happened before. The
version known "A Royal Rival presented
with William Faversham in the leading part, at
the Criterion Theatre, will be continued. 1t has
been received with exceptional favor, the house
having been crowded at every performance Of

James K. Hackett has also been received With
giadness by his admirers at Wallack's Theatre,
where he is playing the part of the hero, in
Victor Mapess version Of the play called Don

Henry Trader, is announced for the week at the
Murray Hill Theatre, where the parts will be

President Mckinley owned a collec-

The AGRICULTURAL tAIR.-James
G.. Blaine once said that the agricul-
tural fair is the farmers parliament.
This is not 81 true now as formerly
when speechmaking was a conspicuous
part of the proceedings. We question
if the agricultural far has not de-
clined in power for good, to a greater
or less extent, by eliminating this fea-
ture that was intended to serve as
mental stimulus us well as entertain
ment, and the substitution of "attrac-
tons" of a decidedly different charac-
ter. The present day agricultural fair
is largely based on two general fea-
tures-cntertainment and exhibits.
The first is made to serve the purpose
of drawing people through the gates
at so cents a head, and the other to
serve the purpose of the exhibitors lit
advertising their wares. Both of these
features may be, and usually are,
worthy so far as they go, but they do
not meet the full purpose of an agri-
cultural fair. We believe that a re-
turn to the farmers parliament idea az
expressed by Mr. Blaine and a develop
ment of this feature would be pro-
ductive of much good.-COlman's RI.

How THE TARIFF WoRKs.-Mr.
Bryan in The Commoner this week
gives the best illustration we have seer
of our present tariff laws. He says:
Once in a while our boasted yankee
shrewdness' Is made to play second
fiddle. A British contractor recently
performed a neat trick on an Ameri.
can steel manufacturing The
E%nglishman in question secured a con-
tract for building a section of an
elevated railway in Boston. Knowing
that because of the curious operations
of the American protective tariff he
could buy American made steel cheap
er in England than Americans could
buy it ut their own doors he proceeded
to take advantage of the fact. The
Englishman wrote from England to
several American structural iron works
asking bids on q certain lot of iron.
He selected the best bid and closed the
contract. When the contract was pro-
erly signed he cabled the American iron
manufactures not to ship to Liverpool,
but to ship to Boston. The point of
the Englishman's joks will not be seer
by those who still cling to the idea
that Americans can tax themselves
rich. Neither will it be seen by those
who still labor under the delusion that
the foreigner pays the tax"

A CHURCH OF His OwN.-Avcord-
ing to Al newspaper story, there 10 a
probability. tllat Mr.. John v. Rookie
fclIer will withdraw from The church
he has heretofore affiliated with in
Cleveland, o., and build up another
church, because of differences with the
pastor of the old congregation. Mr..
Rockefeller, according to the story, is
~patronizing a young minister and p'o-
poses to assist in establishing a church
body for him. The idea of men who
a afford it having churches of their
own is not new. In Beaufort County,
South Carolina, in days when planters
were the rich men of the country, a
planter who was an Episcopalian and
the principal supporter of the parish
church, st. Luke's, and with whom the
rector made his home, got into a dis
pute with his friend and guest on
church matters. AS a consequence.
the story goes, he built a church,
Methodist In faith-a denomination
then just becoming prominent--and
ran il IN opposition to st. Luke's. 1t
Is said that he would drive to the
church on Sundays and, taking his
stand in front of it, would call on those
who were on their way to worship at
st. Luke's to stop and hear his preach
er. The church erected by the planter
has long since disappeared, but the
site Of it is still known us "Church
Hill" The old Episcopal churcl,
edifice remains, but it is now the pro-
perty of a Methodist congregation.
The old religion, like the old planters,
has passed away from the locality

the visit. On entering the camp the
captain had complimented them upon
their bravery, both in the fights that
had occurred aud in coming out IN
armed, assuring them, looking ominous-
ly at some of the more cutthroat Of his
men, that il any man offered them the
slightest indignity he would shoot him
on the spot. Helen had replied that,
whatever they were, she believed they
were brave and above injuring n wo-
man. Then she held mp to them the

This they persistently refused. After
much urging the captain agreed that
we should be let alone till the next
morning, a promise on which 1 placed
no reliance. Helen begged to be per.

was also refused.
