JEWELED MAP FROM CAR.
Extravaganza Runs Riot in Marvel
GUS Mosaic of Precious Stones Pre-
scented to French Republic.

Paris.-The jeweled map of France
presented by the car to the French ma
lion at the time of the first wild enthu-
siasm OF their international friendship
some dvs years ago is to find its final
resting place in the Louvre.
Perhaps extravaganza never reached
q higher tide mark than when that idea
resolved itself into reality. 1ttsay yard
and q quarter square, formed entirely
OF mosaic of rare stones. Each depart
ment of France is represented by spe-
cial stone-jade. onyx, agate, cornelia
malaohite and such like. The principal
towns are jewels of fine water. Paris Is
Indicated by gorgeous ruby Of the sort
called pigson-blood. one Of the very I'm
est IN all the treasury Of the car. Mar
Ieilles has an emerald, stone priced at
$4,000 rubiss. Lyons IL represented By q
diamond, Bordeaux by an opal and Lille
BY turquoise.
The size and value OF the stone is in
proportion to the Importance Of the
town. Such places MS Calais, Rennes.
Tours and Ayisnon blaze with stones
which, while much smaller, make the
whole surface one glittering mass Of
gorgeous color. Pearls are largely used
Tor the insignifcant places.

CHANGE IN HA5lT or QUAIL
This Is Commonly Supposed to Be tho
Reason for Poor Shoot
ing Of Year.

Shooting is not SO good or SO plentiful
as one might wish. Indeed, quail shoot
Ing is a different thing now from what
1t was years ago. The face of the coun-
try has measurably changed and the
habits Of the birds are different from
what they were.
The fields are less open than in ante
and early post-bellum days, the grain
stubble area is smaller creeks are mar
sined with brushwood, there is more
cover and shelter for birds and the bags
are not made in days hunt, as they
once were, and, withal, the habits OF
quail seem to have changed with the in
crease Of sportsmen and the advent 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 ny and alight in full view upon
ditch banks or in any light cover. To-
this spot the sportsman would follow
them and get good shooting in the open.
after bagging eight OF ten birds from
nosk. Now 1t is rare to find covey OUT
SIDE OF pine or oak brush or the swamps
IN these places they refuse to lie to the
dog, and when flushed they will fly from
. half to three-Quarters of mile and
alisht In almost impenetrable jungles.
It never occurs to them now to scatter
out along ditch banks, as they once did.
and one In day will raise flock after
lock, succeed in getting not shot on
aush and utterly fail to find them the
second time.

sLEloHING IN AUTOMOBILES
Big Machines on Steel Runners As
tonish Long Island Natives-Not
Entirely Satisfactory.

Hampstead, N. Y.-Automobilss on
runners astonished the townsfolk Of
Long Island, who thought they had
seen everything in the shape Of an up.
to-date vehicle. 1t was to some az.
tent IN experiment on the part Of those
who wished to drive their cars over the
snow and ice-covered roads in the
neighborhood. And the result was not
entirely satisfactory.
A portable steel runner, somewhat
resembling ha1ftire, was attached
70 the front wheels Of the machine. and
the rear or motor wheels were encased
In steel rim with sharp teeth, which
dug into the ice and propelled the
car.
The plan worked better in theory TIA.
IN practice, however, for while there was
no dlmeulty In propulsion Of the auto
mobile. the sharp points of leo under
the snow continually punctured the
tires. and the sport WAS finally sban.
donsd. -
Tho machines were driven into stables
and spirited horses and real sleirhs
were taken out in their place, and the
marry Jingle Of bells was heard along
the Asrrick road.

In praise Of my native land.

IN praise of my native land.
Ramon" said Louise, looking up
at me, a sweet and queenly dignity in
her face, IT have come to love this
country"
And you could not have done so
much for me unless you had loved"
She looked up at me quickly, and
put her finger to her lips. My tongue
faltered, obeying the command. How
sweet and beautiful she was then, her
splendid form erect, the light Of her
eyes softened by long lashes! She
looked down though fully as she
gave the bottom of her gown shake.
Once upon a time," said she, slow
ly, as our eyes met again, there was
a little country that had cruel king.
And he commanded that none of all
his people should speak until-until
She hesitated, stirring the dead
leaves with her dainty foot.
Until great mountain had been
removed and buried in the sea-" she
added in low tone.
"Ah, that was hard"
Especially for the ladies'" she went
on, signing. "Dieu! they could only
sit and hold their tongues and weep
and feel very foolish. And the longer
they were silent the more they had to
say"
"And those who broke the law" I
inquired.
Were condemned to silence for their
lives" she answered. Come, we are
both in danger; let US CO."
A bit farther on we came to a log
house where veteran of the old war
sat playing his bugle, and motherly
woman bade us sit awhile at the door,
step.
