himself and looking very sullen.

killed. Not long after this event
the said quack heard loud knock

"BALLED" PARTRIDGES.
The Result Of Matching on Clay Soil
In Wet Weather.

In certain districts where the soil
is exactly right, or, rather, exactly
wrong, the cartridges so carefully
preserved in England are likely TO
be attacked by peculiar misfortune
known as "balling." The word
means simply that a partridge
hatched out on clay soil in wet
weather may find the mud adhering

the mother bird.
This is small beginning, but the
chances are that the earth accumu-
lates. Sometimes indeed the soil at

FAIRY STORIES.
Their Origin Is. Ancient and Antedates
Rec5raed History.


Had one leisure il would be worth
while TO attempt TO trace to their
very fountain head some Of the
nursery rhymes and jingles and fairy
stories which have delighted genera

The antiquity Of what Is now
mere nurscr, story is great and by
pisrael the elder has been traced
back to the time when there was no
current literature whatever for the
lower classes, owing to the simple
fact that not one could read, and
the brilliant exploits Of Guy Of War
wick. Sir Bcvis Of Hampton and
other mighty men were banded
from mouth to mouth. Songs were
made about them, and tales we're
sung or quoted in one hamlet after
another among perfectly illiterate
poople. remember, who repeated
them TO their children, to be repeat

their children till Jack the Giant

I will probably never die.
The tale Of "Whittington and
\ Ills Cat" had its origin in Genoa in
14s3 and claimed to be the actual
life history Of well known Genoese
"Puss In Boots" also came from
Genoa about the same time, and
both originally came from Persia.
"Blucbeard" is supposed to have
been drawn from our much divorced
Henry VIII, but the same tale nov
holds good in France, Germany anC
Denmark, as it did few centuries
before the marrying monarch wa
