"BALLED" PARTRIDGES.
Peculiar Misfortune to the Young Birds
in England.

In certain districts where the soil is ex-
actly right tor rather exactly wrongJ the
partridges SO carefully preserved in Eng
land are likely to be attacked by n pc
culiar misfortune known as "balling."
The word means simply that a partridge
Matched out on a clay soil in wet weather
may find mud adhering to it's feet as it
struggles along after the mother bird.
This is a small beginning, but the
chances are that the earth accumulates
Sometimes. indeed. the soil attached to
the foot of a little partridge will increase
from mere speck to weight of seyera
ounces. A writer in Badminton says that
the heaviest ball he ever knew weighed /
ounces. ard the bird which carried it was
only half proper size, although the rest
of the covey were full grown The little
creature could only move along in kind
Of flying scramble, dragging the ball on
the ground.
The clay was baked as hard as a brick,
so that 1t was no easy matter to remove
it. Finally it was soaked off, and then it
became apparent that the bird. without
is accustomed ballast, did not know how
TO fly. With every effort it tumbled head
over heels. and learned the natural mode
only after long trying.
The fate of "balled" partridge which
is not rescued by some kindly hand is n
cruel one. Day by day the burden grows
heavier, and the more the chick scrambles
after its COMPANIONS the larger its burden
becomes. Finally. it is no longer possible
to move at all. and then the little thing
can but give up and die.
NauralistS say that the haling of birds
is one of natures provisions for scatter
ing seeds. 1t is easy to demonstrate this.
and the answer comes true" One cx-
perimenter scattered the earth from 3
ounce ball over the top of a pan of orli-
nary dirt. which had been baked to d.
stroy the seeds in II. Ten plants Sprang
up in due time, and developed into seven
yarieties.-Eouth's Companion.

THE GAM RECITAL

), The piano recital given by Rudolph
GAM at the First Unitarian church last
evening, under the auspices Of the
Thursday Musical, was one Of the most
completely satisfying recitals ever
given here. It was an exhibition Of
artistry, now virile, now tender, that
places Mr.. GAM among the very front
rank of pianists. From the opening
Of the Bach "Tocatta" to the close Of
the close Of the arduous program, there
was nothing to mar the perfect enjoy
ment of the program. Indeed, the pro-
gram itself could scarcely have been

Four rarely heard List numbers com

in any one thing, it was as an inter
