Change in Habit of Quail.

oIg, Correspondence Richmond Times Dispatch.
Shooting is not so good or so plentiful as
one might wish. Indeed, quail shooting is
different thing now from what it was years
ago. The face of the country has meas
urably changed and the habits of the birds
are different from what they were.
The fields are less open than in ante ana
early post-bellum days, the grain stubble
area Is smaller, creeks are margined with
brushWood there is more cover and shelter
for birds, and the bags are not made in a
DAVIS hunt, as they once were, and withal
the habits of quail seem to have changed
with the increase of sportsmen and the ad-
vent of the breechloader and pump gun.
Once they were found in the open fields
and one could effectively put in two barrels
on the flush. Then they would fly and
alight In full view upon ditch banks or in
any light cover To this spot the sports
man would follow them and get good shoot
ing in the open after bagging eight or ten
birds from a flock. Now II is rare to find
a covey outside of pine or oak brush or the
swamps. In these places they refuse to lie
to the dog, and when flushed they win fly
from half to three-Quarters of a mile and
alight in almost impenetrable jungles. 1t
never occurs to them now to scatter out
along ditch banks, as they once did, and
one In day will raise flock after flock.

utterly fail to find them the second time.

WOMAN BLOWN TO PIECES.
Cartridge Sent Her by Brother Ex-
plodes Against Stove.

DETROIT, Mich, December 22.-Mrs.
Thomas Il. Barnes, aged twenty-one years,
was blown 10 pieces today in her home. at
233 Pine street. by a cartridge that had
been sent her by her brother, sailor IN the
United States navy. The cartridge, which
is said to have been about IL inches in
diameter and to inches long. was sent
to Mrs. Barnes as a souvenir.
1t is supposed that she was walking from
the sitting room into her parlor today with
the cartridge in her hands, and that In
passing a coal stove that stood in the arch
way between the rooms, struck it against
the stove in such a manner that it expiod-
ed. Mrs. Barnes body was badly mangied
by the explosion, her right arm being torn
off.
The explosion damaged the stove and
started a smolderng fire in the room.
Smoke from this attracted neighbors, and
Fireman Cain who boards next TO the
Larnes home rushed into the house when
he was told of the fire and carried out
Mrs. Barnes body.
Her Two little children, aged one and
three years, were found uninjured in the
kitchen. Neghbors heard an explosion some
time before the smoke in the Barnes home
attracted them and We're at loss to I'M
derstand IL. Mrs Barnes was a native OF
New York and had lived in this city only
Il short time.

CELLAR OPENINGS.
Fire Insurance Inspector Makes Some
Suggestions.

In connection with the discussion of the
difficulty experienced by the firemen in
fighting the blaze in the cellar of The Hub
Furniture Companys store last week, and a
remedy therefor, letter was received today
by the Commissioners from John Hender-
son, jr.. chief inspector of risks of the
board of fire underwriters of the District
of Columbia. Mr.. Henderson says that
while witnessing the fire which occurred
in the cellar of the building occupied by
The Hub Furniture Company and the man
ner in which the fremen were handicapped
he more forcibly reminded than
ever of the necessity of means of access to
cellars from the outside of buildings. He
added that if there had been in this par
ticular case one opening in the 7th and one
in the d street sidewalk, the cellar could
have been relieved of smoke and the fire.
men would have been enabled to direct
horizontal streams with good results.
Cellar fires are very difficult to combat,
he says, and on this occasion it was neces-
sary for the firemen to resort to the task
of breaking the Hyatt lights on the D
street side of the building. The cellars of
some of the mercantile buildings are ac-
cesSlble only through small trap doors in
the store floors. which is very bad fea-
ture He concluded by saying:
Il would suggest one opening in the
front of each building of ordinary front
age and for corner buildings an additional
one on the side, openings to be about four
feet square and protected by iron-plated
DOORS

reasons involved in the struggle. Also ne
has much of the philosophy attributed to
Tommy Atkins, Whats the use of 'ating
those you are paid to kill?' But with the
Siberians it is different The war is closer
to their native soil and they regard the
japanese as their natural enemies
For this reason the only animosity that
has been displayed toward the Japanese
wounded has been in those hospitals where
there were a majority of Siberians The
Sisters of Mercy on the other hand nave
shown a decided partiality for japanese
patients and there has been some Jealousy
aroused among the Siberians, who thought
the Japanese We're Getting the best OF II

Most of the Japanese wounded nave
therefore been placed in the hospitals with
Russian soldiers. The Finlanders, almost
