CALLED PARrR1DaEs.
Peculiar Misfortune to the Young
Birds in England.

From the Youths Companion.
In certain districts where the soil Is ex-
actIy right Cor rather exactly wrong) the
cartridges so carefully preserved in Eng
land are likely to be attacked by peculiar
misfortune known as "balling." The word
means simply that partridge Matched out
on a clay soil In wet weather may find mud
adhering to It's feet as 1t struggles along
after the mother bird.
This Is small beginning, but the chances
are that the earth accumulates. Sometimes,
indeed, the soil attached to the foot of q
little partridge will increase from mere
speck to a weight of several ounces. A
writer In Badminton says that the heaviest
ball he ever knew weighed four ounces, and
the bird which carried 1t was only half
proper SIZE although the rest of the Convey
were full grown. The little creature could
only move along in a kind of flying scram-
BILE, dragging the ball on the ground.
The clay was baked Is hard as a brick,
so that 1t was no easy matter to remove 1t.
Finally 1t was soaked off, and then 1t De-
came apparent that the bird, without us
accustomed ballast did not know how to
fly With every effort 1t tumbled head over
heels and learned the natural mode only
after long trying.
The fate of a ''ba1led partridge which
Is not rescued by some kindly hand is
cruel one. Day by day the burden grows
after it's companions the larger its burden
becomes Finally, 1t is no longer possible
to move at all, and then the little thing
can but give up and die.
Naturalsts say that the balling of birds
Is one of natures provisions for scattering
seeds. 1t Is easy to demonstrate this, and
the answer comes true. One experiment
er scattered the earth from a three-ounce
ball over the top of pan of ordinary dirt
which had been baked to destroy the seeds
in it. Ten plants sprang up in due tlme
and developed into seven varieties.

Passing Of the Home.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The passing of the home is the saddest
phenomenon of modern city life. The tene-
ment house-which we seek to disguise un-
der the name of flats a most wretched
substitute for the humblest of homes. That
our people endure them is an Indication of
degeneracy. as it will unquestionably be the
cause of more rapid descent. 1t Is moral
ly certain that the vigor of the race can
be maintained only by personal contact
with the mother earth from which we
sprang, which nourishes us to her bosom
when we die. Why this Is perhaps no one
knows, but it is within knowledge of all
that the vigor of the city is constantly re-
cruited from country life. To deprive chill
dren of daily contact with the soil is a sin.
The evil of the tenement house was not
realized until it passed from the slums, be-
cause few of us know how the other half
lives. 1t is perhaps not so desperate a mis-
fortune to those who live by manual labor,
for they get their contact with earth in
other ways, and their children, less vexed
by the conventions of society, find access to
the soil by some means, and pass, while
rents. The most terrible effect of the tene-
ment house IL in the families Of the sal
aried' class, as distinguished from the
"wage-earners," and who fit from fiat to
fat, seldom remaining long enough any
where for home associations to be formed.
There can perhaps be no home associations
worthy Of the name which are not connect
ed with piece of open ground in the sole
possession of the family. 1t would seem
that in our larger cities this privilege can
no longer be enjoyed except by the rich.

FILIPINO CHARACTER.
A People Who Never Say emo" and
Never Do "Yes.'

From Worlds Work.
An experience of three years in the Phil
ippine5 has brought me to the conclusion
that the Filipinos are incapable Of self
government. They are managed by a few
ambitious leaders. They have not yet Gull
tivated sense Of fair play and tolerance
for those who differ in opinion, and yet, al
though the gift of self-government in full
measure was not possible. the United States
bestowed it to a degree by granting practi-
cal autonomy in provincial and municipal
affairs. There are some 600 towns in which
natives have. in the main. the same con-
troll over their local affairs as is enjoyed
by the residents of towns Of corresponding
size in the Unitetd States. But a concen-
tration of governm entail powers has been
found. 80 a. ~ -.
Very few of them. however. show execu-
tive ability, and some of them betray obsti-
nate inefficiency and inactivity. The Ten
dency everywhere in the east Is in the
direction of one-rnan power, and, too often
in the Philippines. the mayor, or provincial
governor. dominates everything so far as he
can. He is very ready with promises; but,
as some one has said 1.-The Filipino never
says no.. but never does yes" When
asked for information. he studies you. and
is inclined to give you the answer he thinks
you want. 1ndirectness is a trait and the
giving of gifts by subjects to these in
authority custom common in the Philip
Pines. From instinct. the Filipino agrees
with the boodler's opinion that there Is no
use in holding an Office unless it can DE
turned to profit. 1t is hard for Filipinos
to understand that the giving of presents
to government officials is not right; 1t is
very difficult for them to believe that d
man. because he happens to be white, has
any scruples against it. They look with a
measure of contempt upon a man who re-
fuses.

Brunettes and Blends.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harpers weekly.
One of the most interesting anthropolog-
ical Investigations lately published is ny
DIR. F. c. Shrubsall. who has made use or
the data obtained by the British privy
councils committee on physical deterio-
ration. to study the physical characteristics
OF various individuals in given area, com
pairing the hospital patients with those
more healthy. His object was to ascertain
how the different diseases affected the diff
ferent elements of population, and he was
able to make some interesting observations
on the comparative susceptibility of blends
and brunettes. Blends are more likely to
suffer from rheumatic disorders, but less
from nervous diseases. tuberculosis and
cancer. While they are more susceptible to
children's diseases. and the mortality is
greater than with brunettes. yet in the case
of the latter pulmonary tuberculosis occur
ring after the age of from twenty to twen-
ty-five goes long way toward restoring
the balance. The most unhealthy and
overcrowded portions of cities are popu-
lated by brunettes. and as the blond chill
dren are likely to die Off early these To-
calities also have the heaviest infant NOR
tality DIR. Shrubsalrs deductions have at
tracted considerable attention. and 1t is
wondered whether the same conclusions
would hold good in countries other than
England, where there might be different
proportions of the two classes.

Curious Pension Statistics.


Some of our pension statistics are curious.
For example, we learn that there are still
on the rolls three pensioners of the revo-
Iutionary war. which was brought to an end
over one hundred and twenty years ago. Of
pensioners accredited to the war of 1872
there still remain 919. while of the Mexican
war no fewer than 13.055 survive. OF those
accredited to the revolutionary war one
is widow and two are daughters. The
report shows that pension payments are
made to people residing in every state AMI
territory in the Union. and in almost every
known country on the globe. Among the
states Ohio leads in the amount of pension
money paid annually to its citizens, with
PENNSYLVANIA second. New York third and
Illinois and Indiana following closely. AT
the date of the report there were 4.910 PEN
sionerS residing outside of the United
States. and they drew s722, 40. 60 in the last
fiscal year. Nearly half of this amount
went to persons in Canada. Quarterly PEN
sion vouchers were sent besides to per-
sons in Mexico. South America, every coun-
try in Europe. the Azores. the Barbados,
China. the Comoro Isles. East and South
Africa. Samoa. the Seychelles Islands. Siam
and st. Martin. 1t shows that the pension
bureau was busy Office last year. More
than 26S 600 cases were passed upon, and
153 600 certificates were issued. No fewer
than 1OS.114 applications were rejected, OF
which $1,000 were thrown out on medical
and $4,000 on legal grounds.

How a Man Should Wash His Hair.

From the st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
There Is a right way and wrong way
to wash the hair" Mr.. F. de Donate in
forms me, land one Of the wrong ways is
to apply the cake of soap directly to the
head. 1 suppose nine out of ten people do
this; but it is wrong, nevertheless. When
the cake of soap is rubbed on the hair it
crusts there and often cannot be rinsed
out with the most elaborate applications of
water.
ITO wash the hair properly, so as to
cleanse the head thoroughly, and at the
same time leave the hair in good condition,
a lather should be made from soap in some
and this lather then applied to the hair.
Hot water should be used in making the
lather while little borax and just drop
or two of ammonia added will do much
toward preserving the natural softnesS of
the hair Hot water ought also to be used
for the rinsing. save toward the finish Of
the operation, when cooler water may be
employed, to prevent any possibility of TAX
ing cold when the hair Is drying. The rims
ing should be most carefully done. for the
smallest quantity of soap clinging to the
hair will prove a veritable catch-all for
dust and germs, and perhaps lead eventual
ly to diseased condition of the hair and
scalp.
lone thing that people should avoid in
cleansing the hair is in rubbing too hard.
Men especially are prone to use their finger
nails on the scalp and the habit Is found
to some extent among women also. The
this than it would be by drying gently, and
the hard scrubbing will have tendency to
inf1ame the roots of the hair and cause it
to fall OUT

Shop of a Japanese Sword Maker.

The forge glowed at the back of the little
hammer on the steel caught my quick at
swordsmiths of Nara and this might be one
of them. I approached the entrance and
sat down upon little stool that stood on
the ground below the raised platform that
always serves for counter in Japanese
shop. Immediately the smith forgot his
work and set upon me with his stock of
blades, although I think he rather scorned
to show them to a mere woman who could
not appreciate their projections.
Over the forge was sort of Shinto tori,
on which were strung the usual Shinto
prayer emblems OF twisted rope and strips
of paper. and. remembering the stories
have read about how the famous swords of
Japan have been forged with solemn re-
ligious rites under just such representa-
ton of the sacred gateway Of the gods, I
was fascinated
upon forge where some Of the great
swords Of Japans great history of swords
were made in perfection under the guidance
Of the gods; for, like everything else In
Japan. this honorable business descended
from father to son through generations and
probable than that this old moss covered
house, almost In the shadow of one of the
Oldest Shinto temples in Japan, should
have been the scene of some of these old
fantastic rites? The little old man>chatted
away at me, but I understood so little of
what he said that couldn't talk with him;
so l went on my way, after having pur-
chased a beautiful dagger with which he
cut coin in two form Its blade Is per-
feet and it's handle and sheath, Of polished
cedar. are inlaid with bits Of pearl, and
he charged me only one yen fifty sen for It
