out the cocks when cartridges begin to pair. The writer evidently believes in the system, but as he considers it would be improper to encourage 9 practice which. as he admits, could only be effectually carried out in the close season. he refrains from giving any further information on the subject. One is a little inclined to doubt the writer's veraeity when he tells us, in commenting further on this same sub jeet, that thsre are some few sports men in England of such keen eyes that they can distinguish the cocks from the hens when the coYey rises from the ground. and 50 expert as not to kill more than a brace of hens in a days sport" This, indeed, would De a re- markable feat, and seeing how ire quently one comes across people nowa- days who cannot even tell the differ ence between the sexes, even when they have the birds in theiF hand, it seems a trif1e improbable that any one could ever have made the selection when the birds were on the wing. Even the old and exploded theory that the cock birds only bear the horseshoe mark on the breast would seldom assist the most keen-sighted shooter to dis tinguish the difference between the p1umage of the sexes. Upon the sub jeet of pheasant shooting the writer has a few words to say. He recom- mends the use of two, three and four brace of spaniels at time, with three or four guns, as the ideal complement of a pheasant-shooting company ''These dogs should not be of the wild sort, but keen-nosed and apt to give their tongue i. e, bark or yelp) when they come on the scent" Tempora mutantur! Who nowadays would go pheasant-shooting with a yelping span Tel In conclusion, the writer informs his readers as to the roasting habits of
 pheasant and the underhanl methods employed for taking them on such oc- casions. No comment is made as to the merits of this very doubtful form
 of sport, and it is to be feared that the writer gives his tacit approval to the
 custom of knocking the birds off their perches at night. Nor has he any word of condemnation for the practice of lighting matches (which, held under meath the birds, suffocate them, and they fall to the ground" Matches must have been a good deal stronger in the good old days than they are now i London Standard.

KEsrERDAT,S STOCK MARKET.
Values of Securities Sensitive Over
 Anglo-Russia Friction.

AMtshU-ItusSAM r rEtctAUhss
 New York, Nov. 16.--Values of secur- ities showed themselves sensitive to- day to the renewed uneasiness in Lon don over the reports of friction in the negotiations between Russia and Great Britain over the North Sea trouble. The uneasiness was accentuated in London by the news of hostile col- lision on the Afghan frontier. But the special sensitiveness of the New York stock market to these rather remote factors was probably due more to dis appointment that the gradual restora- tion of telegraphic facilities with out side centers failed to bring in the ex- pected accumulation of buying orders, which have been obstructed all the week. There was some vigorous oppo- sition to the reaction at the opening, but the supporting tactics became lam guid when the lightness of the incom- ing buying orders was perceived A fairly general reaction followed. The later improvement ill London sentiment and the termination of the days busi- ness for account of that capital opened the way for recoveries in the later mar ket and there were a number of ag- gressively strong features developed to help on the rally, besides the violent movements in obscure specialties, which continued in evidence, with rather dubious effect on speculative sentiment as whole.
 The action of stocks which were the subjects of good news announcements was especially disappointing in the early reaction News of general condi- tions offered nothing to warrant de-

WALNUT sUPERsEDEs ORANGE.
Acreage in California is Increasing
With Rapid Strides.

From the Review of Reviews.
The first English walnut orchard in Cali
fornia was planted with seed from the Los
Angeles Mission gardens, where the padres
had started a few trees with nuts brought
with them from Spain. The undertaking
was a success from the first, and the acre
age of walnuts has steadily increased
slowly at first, but now with rapid strides.
The walnut trees early age Of bearing, its
long life and the steady demand for its
product tend to make the enterprise de-
servedly popular Already 1T Is suppressed
ing the orange in favor among fruit grow
ers.
The walnut tree begins to bear when six
or seven years old, and nothing Is known
definitely of it's age limit of bearing. Fabu-
lous stories told of trees in Spain one
or two centuries DID, bearing enormous
crops. The oldest trees in California are
still bearing. but deductions from the short
history already made show that the tree is
in it's prime from it's twenty-fifth to its thir-
tieth year. Fifteen hundred pounds of nuts
to the acre is good average yield, making
seventy-hve pounds the average weight
from one tree.
The harvest time begins about the middle
of September and lasts nearly six weeks
The nuts begin to fall with the leaves, and
the perfect cultivation under the trees
leaves no Nchance for them to lose them
selves among clods weeds. The brown
dead leaves alone hide the nuts. Under
normal conditions they drop free from the
outer husk. or hull, through it's irregular
bursting and getting the nuts picked up is
a simple matter. Sometimes the trees are
well irrigated just before harvest time to
insure the clean dropping of the nuts
Boys and girls, men and women, japanese
and Chinese, are all pressed into service.
and on hands and knees the great orchards
are gone over, not once, but several times
on account of the irregular ripening of tn
nuts. The trees are occasionally shaken
during the season to loosen the nuts, ana
before the last cleaning they are ''poled' to
start the very tardy ones This is done by
long, coarse, bamboo poles, whose light
weight makes them easily handled.
In certain rural districts the public
schools close regularly for a walnut vaca-
ton" The help of the children is needed.
and the children are nothing loath to re
plenfsh their diminished purses Pals, cans
and Aunnysacks are scattered among the
pickeVs and when the bags are full they
are carried to the drying grounds. where
they are spread out on slat trays to dry.
