Our MisnaIneG Quail.

Amerira's typical game bird, the
quail, is not named correctly at all, ac-
cording to the government ornitholo-
gist He says that the real quail is the
quail OF the Bible and that this is a
bird belonging exclusively to the old
world. The true quail does not occur
in America at all. In many parts of
this country the American bird is
known as partridge, but the American
partridge is really the ruffed grouse,
and the true partridge again is another
old world bird and not American. He
thinks that the name given to it in
many localities, "bobwhite.' is as good
as any. The name comes from the cry
Of the bird. which is something like
'bobWhite, bobWhite. bobWhite,"

THE EARTH'S MOTION.
why We Do Not Feel the Worlds
Rapid Flight Through Space.

We have no direct sensation Of the
earth's motion because of it's absolute
smoothness and freedom from all jar
or vibration, and, as verything-land,
sea and airs carried along at the
same rate as ourselves, there is nothing
to afford us any evidence that we are
moving at all until we make reference
to something altogether detached from
the earth-as sun, moon or stars-and
even then, until reasoning and mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation are brought to bear,
1t is these bodies and not ourselves
which seem to move.
Gliding in a boat down a smooth riv-
er it is often impossible to perceive
that we are moving except by refer
ence to objects on the banks, and even
then it is difficult to resist the impress
sion that they are in motion while we
are at rest.
The mere detail Of speed does not
affect the question, and, although the
earth is rushing trough space at the
rate of eighteen miles q second, the
motion, infinitely smoother than that
of a boat on placid water, is absolutely
imperceptible.

TO GET THE "SACk."
Hts Equivalent I'm Olden Times Was
to Get the "Canyas."

Canvas, called by Chaucer canevas,
Is a closely woven heavy cloth of hemp
or flax, used for any purpose for which
strength and durability are required,
such as sailcloth or fabrics used for oil
paintings, tapestry or embroidery. Its
name is derived from the Latin Gamma
bis, hemp, the material from which it
Is manufactured.
'To give one the canvass or ''to
receive the canvass was the old
phrase equivalent to the modern ito
give one the SACK or ito get the sack
in allusion to the canvas tool bags car
ried by mechanics Of that day.
In such a phrase as ito canvass the
neighborhood," the word canvass, in
which the 49, is doubled, comes from
the French canabasser. to sift as
through canvas, and literally means to
sift the neighborhood, to solicit votes
or interest, by separating supporters
from opponents.

bargain hunting TO any other woman.
The shops are visited. well-informed and
obhging clerks display the dress goods
and laces and her majesty leaves the
shop with a fine collection of pretty
thi2Ss for the royal modistes TO work
upon.
The only concession made TO her rank
is that the shops are cleared. or at least
an aisle IS reserved. so that her majesty
and friends can bargain hunt without
hindrances. Yet It frequently happens
that the Queen Will go. attended only by

And very good taste the Queen dis
plays in her shopping tours. She goes
20 the best houses and is very partial 10
those who advertise bargains. She buys
lengths Of pongee and poplin, 10 which
she IS very partial. and she invests rath-
er heavily IN ladies' cloth, for there is
never a time when her majesty has not
a handsome new cloth gown. In the
season she appears at least once a week
and sometimes once day in one Of
these beautifully-tailored affairs.
