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 a
pillow passing within a yard or so of it's
nest. Destruction was almost GER
tainty, as the plow must pass entirely
over it in the next round, and the la
borer wondered how the partridge
would act. The time necessary for go
ing around the field was about twenty
minutes, yet in that almost incredible
period the parent birds had effected the
removal of some twenty-one 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 pillow. Nine
teen partridge chicks were eventually
Matched and duly escaped unmolested.

EDUCATING OYSTERS.
Training Schools In Which the BIZ
valves Are Taught Some Sense.


valves Are Taught Some Sense.
"a school for oysters" said a dealer
in fish, lis an institution that you
would swear could not exist, for Oys-
tiers are notorious for their stupidity.
It is, however, a fact that there are
many oyster schools l will explain
them to you in such a way that you
will believe in them. An oysters intel
ngence is limited, but still it has intel
ligence. Years ago certain wise fish
dealers discovered that if you take an
oyster suddenly from it's subaqueoCs
bed it opens its SHE'LL whereupon the
life giving water inside it all escapes
and the oyster dies. But If you ex-
pose an oyster to the air gradually,
lifting it out of the water for a few
minutes and then returning it again, it
gradually learns that to keep it's shell
closed when out of the water is the
best thing for it's health. These inves-
tigators found that they could take two
oysters, one trained and one unframed,
and the trained oyster, keeping its shell
closed while out of the water, would

one, opening it's shell, would die in
few hours. Therefore training schools
for oysters were established. The
schools are in appearance nothing more
than reservoirs full of water. Oysters
are put in them. and the water is drain
ed off and then returned again. It is
kept off for few minutes at first, then
IN, win fhnr ho
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. "-Philadelphia

VICTIMS OF VESUVIUS.
Pompeii and Hercu1aneum Not the
Only Cities 1t Has Buried.

The road out of Naples toward Vesu-
vlus is the same route that one follows
to reach POmpeii. When intending to
go up the mountain the tourist leaves
the Pompeii road at Resina, the mod
ern city which overlies Herculaneum.
AprOpos Of these two ancient towns, it
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 Stabia. Then there are Gu
m;n, the oldest Greek colony i'll Italy;
Baie, a watering place, resort Of the
Roman swells in the first year of our
Lord; Parthenope, Pal@opolis and Ne
apOlis, three buried cities lying under
modern Naples, from the last of which
it took it's 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 a modern city, also
garrison, and Suessola, whose medici-
nal springs held high repute among the
equity epicures of the Roman time.
Cataclysmic have been the earth's
throes around that labOring monster
Vesuvius, for some Of these buried cit
les, which were great seaports 1000
years ago, are now far inland. On the
other hand, offshore at BaiR you may
look down from boat when in smooth
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-
neum, yet to many travellers their
names seem acknowledgements

Mr.. Brown replied in the negative.
II am a nervous man," said he,
though 1 don't look it,
he did, however.
"a coward, I'm afraid" he continued
after a pause. "But there is nothing
to be afraid of, and even a coward
needs some excuse for fear"
This is not true, of course, There is
terror without cause and without cow

human mechanism manufactures its
own fear out Of nothing in particular,

Instead l asked him some questions
about his general health and found
that there was no sign of anything

weight.
He was bachelor, he was not in
love, his business was satisfactory, and
he had a sufficient income aside from
it. He knew of no reason why he
should have fallen into this state Of
nervous agitation. The main trouble
was in the matter of sleeping. Mr..

In my opinion he was the victim Of

probably Of horrible nature, and so
influential in the realm of his thought

pleasant land of dreams. 1t remained
for me to find out what this terror was

too sharp questionings. l therefore

He came promptly, looking very bag

value to either of us. Upon this Occa
sion he came near to convincing me
that he really did not know what he
was afraid of nor what dream 1t was

Naturally 1 had asked him early
whether he had any enemies, and he
had replied that he had none. But the
answer had been given in such way

Shoe Lore

Never was there a greater array of
attractive styles In fashionable foot
wear. Strap slippers are among the
most favored and fanciful some OF
them having as many as ten or twelve
straps.
These pretty slippers, with their
dainty high heels. are made In colt.
vici. French patent calf, castor and
suede. Many of them are decorated
with passementeries of steel, jet and
gaily colored beads.
II is predicted that the slippers Of
the coming season will have much mar
rover toes than those worn for some
time. and that heels win steadily as
cend in height. A very odd and novel
feature in the expensive makes Of Slip
pers will be aluminium heels in gold
silver, as well as plain finish.
In shoes. the tendency is toward
plainer Styles without fancy scallop-
ping or other ornamentation. Light
weight materials and graceful shapes
viii take the place of the masculine
styles so long affected. Extension soles
will be much modified. patent tips will
meet with favor and high heels will
still be the vogue. Blucher lace shoes
and button Oxfords win be popular in
the fall.
II will be regarded by many women
as a misfortune that the button shoe
is destined to be Fashions favorite.
Heighol That nuisance of buttons
coming off just when you haven't time
to sew them on We thought we had
got rid OF.
The tendency toward shiny" leath-
ers is marked.
