A Quick Witted Partridge.

Nesting upon the ground, the par
fridge is likely to be disturbed. A bird
Of this species was once startled by n
plow passing within a yard or so Of its
nest. Destruction was almost GER
tainty, as the plow must pass entirely
over it in the next round. and the 10
borer wondered how the partridge
would act The time necessary for so
ing around the field was about twenty
minutes, yet in that almost Incredible
period the parent birds had effected the
removal of some twenty-onc eggs to a
safe spot. Careful search led to the
discovery of the bird calmly seated up
on her treasures in the bottom of the
hedge out Of reach of the plow. Nine
teen partridge chicks were eventually
Matched and duly escaped unmolested.

DOCTORS BLUNDERS.
What Legal Methods Applied to Med

icnl Practice Would Uncover.
''Now that 1 am through with medi.
cine l can speak Of the profession in a
fashion that would not if l was still
in the practice" said a gentleman who
has been known as a successful physi-
elan in New York for years as he sat
at luncheon in the Lawyers club.
'Of course 1 don't care to have my
name mentioned, for I have lots Of good
friends in the profession, but the fact
is that the profession of medicine would
be nearly ruined if it had to be con-
Quoted as you gentlemen of the bar
practice your calling.
1--WE have a great advantage over
you, for you in your cases are subject
ed to the EXTREMIST publicity, while we
in our cases have the utmost conceal
ment. Just suppose that in our cases
we had judge who knew as much az
or more than we did presiding over oul
actions and. worse than that, had an
other physician, whose interests were
not ours, watching and cridcising us
at every step and blazoning every er-
ror that we made. Dear me, such q
prospect as that would frighten the
best physician who ever lived the mo-
ment he entered a sick room, and yet
that condition Is just what you men
of the law have to face in every case
that you try.
''What sort Of a figure would law
yer cut floundering around in court
without any knowledge of his case:
But a physician can founder mentally
in a sick room without a second person
being the wiser, though the patien;
may suffer; but, then, dead men tell
no tales
"Under such circumstances Of doubt.
which is usually ignorance, the physi-
clan can look wise put something into
the patients stomach, 60 to his Office,
decide what line Of experiment he will
follow, return the next day, hoping to
find that nature is working the cure
that he doesn't know how to effect, and
being ready and willing to take all of
the credit that comes his way.
"Why, the very first thing that nurses
are taught is to observe the utmost Sc
crecy about doctors biunders. If they
told what they know there wouldn't be
much confidence in physicians where
they are heard. Ask a nurse of expe-
rience about this when you have the
opportunity.
Yes, sir, I repeat that the publicity
and chance for criticism in your pro
fession, If applied to medicine, would
result in the discovery Of a small
amount of science as compared with
the large amount Of empiricism."-New

EDUCATING OYSTERS.
Training Schools In Which the BI-

Training Schools In Which the BIZ
valves Are Taught Some Sense.
"a school for oysters" said a dealer
in fish, sis an institution that you
would swear could not exist, for oys-
ters are notorious for their stupidity.
1t is, however. fact that there ere
many oyster schools l will explain
them to you in such a way that you
will believe in them. An oysters intel
ligence is limited, but still 1t has intel
ligence. Years ago certain wise fish
dealers discovered that if you take an
oyster suddenly from its subaQueous
bed it opens its shell. whereupon the
life giving water inside it all escapes
and the oyster dies. But If you e1-
pose an oyster to the air gradually.
lifting it out Of the water for n few
minutes and then returning it again, it
gradually learns that to keep its shell
closed when out of the water Is the
best thing for its health. These inves-
tigators found that they could take two
oysters. one trained and ono unframed.
and the trained oyster. keeping its Shell
closed while out of the water, would
live q long time, while the unframed
one. opening It's shell. would die in a
few hours. Therefore training schools
for oysters were established. 1he
schools are in appearance nothing more
than reservoirs full of water. Oysters
are put in them. and the water is drain
cd of and then returned again. 1t is
kept of for few minutes Mt first, then
for ten minutes. then for half an hour
and so on. Oysters in these schools
learn that they will live longest and
keep healthiest out of water If they
hold their shells tight shut. As soon as
they learn this they are graduated and
go out into the world. d."-Philadelphia

birds for the fun Of the thing; to read
and reflect upon:

before my Mortified eyes. Murder was
committed, and the victim, perfectly un-
offending, Perfectly innocent, was sud
denly and shamelessly dashed from his
home into a gulf Of death. Three assas
sins laughed with fendish glee as they
marked the success of their crime.
The victim was robin redbreast. He
was singing his heart out in ecstacy from
the top of maple tree as the air gun
held in the hands of a small boy sent its
missile straight to it's destination. No
more songs from that bonny bird. 4

And the boy and his companions will &c

ers, and kill more birds when they can

The road out of Naples toward Vesu-

to reach Pompeii. When intending to
go up the mountain the tourist leaves
the Pompeii road at Resina, the mod
ern city which overics Herculaneum
Apropos Of these two ancient towns, 1t
is remarkable how many people speak
OF them as the only buried cities in the
vicinity. In fact, there are many, and
it may not be uninteresting to mention
them. Next to the two familiar ones,
the one whose name is most frequently
heard Is Sta bin. Then there are Gu
me-, the oldest Greek colony in Italy;
Baia, a watering place, resort of the
Roman sweils in the first year of our
Lord; Parthenope. Pal9opolis and Ne
apcIis, three buried cities lying under
modern Naples, from the last Of which
it took its name: Dikearchia Cater call
ed PuteoH, now PoZzuolD, another
Greek city of large wealth and with
much commerce.; Capua, one OF the
great military posts Of ancient Rome,
now covered by modern city, also a
garrison. and Suessola, whose medici-
nal springs held high repute among the
equity epicures Of the Roman time.
Cataclyslnic have been the earth's
throes around that laboring monster
Vesuyius, for some Of these buried cit
les, which were great seaports 1000
years ago. are now far inland. On the
other hand. offshore at Baia you may
look down from boat when in smooth
water and discover ancient houses and
streets far below you at the bottom OF
the sea. Some of these buried cities
were much larger and more important
places than either Pompeii Or Hercula-
neuT, yet to many travellers their
names seem rgonaut.

Goldsboro Argus.
There is no doubt that the North
is having a much harder time with
the negro problem now than is the
South, and despite the fact that there
are ten negroes in the South to every
one in the North. The North really
knows nothing about the negro, his
character and tendencies. When
aroused against some one negro in
the North for brutal crime, war is
made on the entire colony of negroes,
innocent as well as guilty, then the
rioting and mob violence is usually
distressing. 1t is not that way down
South. We just tend to the individ-
ual and reek no vengeance on his un-
offending race.

JUDGE PEBBLES IN HARNETT,
He Talks to the Grand Jury About the
Alarming Increase of Homlcides.
Statesville Landmark.

The great majority of the newspa-
pers were very severe on Judge Peeb-
les for the manner in which he con-
Quoted himself in the Haywood trial
in Raleigh, but not all of them criti-
cised him. Some didn't have nerve
enough to take a position at the
time, and now since the storm has
subsided a few are speaking up for
him. His honor held court in Har-
nett county last week and the Dunn
(Harnett county, Guide says of him:
"Judge PEBBLES, who is holding
court at Ellington this week, is one
OF our most conscientious and up-
right judges. His sound and logical
mind, trained to the nice discrimina-
tions of the law, seldom errs, while
the impartial justice which he metes
to all parties has endeared him to the
hearts of our people,
"Conscientious and upright Judge"
impartial justice which he metes
out to all parties"-these be fine
phrases. We hope they are deserved,
but if they are Judge PEBBLES has
changed his course since the HAYWOOD
trial.
But again, speaking OF his honor's
charge to the grand jury, the Guide
says:
His charge to the grand jury at
his term of court was an able ad-
lress, delivered in an impressive and
! 'nasterly manner. The Judge called
attention to the increase in crime in
the State, especially the crime OF
homicide. The alarming spread OF
this dreadful crime has swept our
country almost like q devastating
plague. The remedy for this evil lies
with the different juries. If the law
be rigidly enforced, and every often
der dealt with according to his crime,
the dignity and majesty of the law
might be better enforced and those
who would not obey it's precepts from
principle might be taught to do SO
through fear"
Oh, my country! Judge PEBBLES
talking to the grand jury about the
alarming increase of homicides, the
necessity OF a rigid enforcement o'
the law, etc. Did you ever? But
from the information this paper has
about his honor his cheek is unparal
leled and he doesn't know what con
sistency means, and after reading
the above we are fully convinced that
| this estimate is correct.
