"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 partridges so carefully
preserved in England are likely to
be attacked by a peculiar misfortune
known as ':balling." The word
means simply that a partridge
Matched out on a clay soil in wet
weather NAV find the mud adhering
TO its feet as it struggles along after
the mother bird.
This is a small beginning, but the
chances are that the earth accumu-
lates. Sometimes indeed the soil at
tached to the foot of little par
fridge will increase from mere
speck to a weight of several ounces
A writer in Badminton's Magazine
saws that the heaviest ball he ever
knew weighed four ounces, and the
bird which carried it was only half
its proper size, although the rest OF
the covey were full grown. The lit
tie creature could only move along
in a kind of flying scramble, drag
eing the ball on the ground.
The clay was baked as hard as a
brick, so that it was no easy matter
to remove it. Finally it was soaked
off. and then it became apparent
that the bird, without its accustom-
ed 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 kind
" hand is q cruel one. Day by day
the burden grows heavier, and The
more the chick scrambles after it
companions the larger its burder
becomes, Finally it is no longe'
possible to move at all, and then tn
little thing can but give up and die
Natvralists say that this balm!

PRICED HAIR ROPES.
Those Used ley the Daring Egg Gath
erers of ST. kllda.

Those Used ley the Daring Egg 1htn-
erers of st. kIlda.
An Irish paper not long since offered
$50 for a genuine st. Kildean hair
rope, such as is used by egg gath
erers. On the lonely island of st. Kill
da the most appropriate present
young woman can give to her nance
Is a rope made of horsehair, or, better
still. of human hair. The rock scalers
of this island consider themselves rich
above mention if their brides are able
TO make them such gifts. The ropes
are of various lengths, good one be-
ing forty or fifty feet long.
According to a woman traveller who
has spent much time at st. Kilda, the
ordinary rope consists of stout hemp
on cord wrapped round and round with
sheep's wool, then with horsehair and
finally on the outside with human hair.
IT is the work of years to manufac-
ture such ropes-and the maiden of st.
Kilda begins very early in her child
hood to save her hair combings-and
also to dry and bleach certain rough
grasses that grow on the wind swept
island. The fibers make the cable
stronger, and the elastic quality OF the
hair prevents chatting against the rude
cliffs during the rock scaler's descent.
A curiosity collector wanted to buy
one of these ropes, which are used by
the st. Kilda egg gatherers. He Of
fered 500, but the amount was re-
fused scornfully.

THE ESKIMO SMOKER.
He Dearly Loves Tobacco and Not a
Mite of 1t Is Wasted.

mo man is fonder of tobacco than an
Eskimo" said an arctic traveller. "The
Eskimo depends for his tobacco solely
ON the white man. For pound of it
he would sell his Oldest son.
ct is odd to see an Eskimo smoke.
He chops his tobacco fine and mixes it
with chopped willow twigs so as to
make it go further Then he cleans out
with picker of bone the small stone
bowl of his pipe, and then he plucks
lock of hair from his deerskin suit and
rams it down in the bottom of the pipe
bowl so as to prevent any of the finely
chopped tobacco from escaping into the
stem.
FINALLY he lights the pipe and smokes
it in q swift series of long, strong puffs
so that there may be no waste. Each
puff is inhaled deep down into the
lungs, and the first puff's smoke is still
streaming from the nostrils long after
another puff has been started. There
must be, you see, no waste. There
| must be none of that vain combustion
of tobacco without benefit to the smok
| er which goes on continually among us
"Often the most experienced Eskimo
| will smoke so hard and fast that tears
will stream from his eyes, he will cough
violently; and sometimes vertigo and
nausea will seize him."-New Yorl
Press.

COUGAR AFRAID OF MAN.
Not Brave Beast, and Wrongly Re.

From Sports Afield.
 Regarding the cougar, the largest mem Der of the feline family in the United States, it may be said that it is blessed with more than a rightful share of names. In one section it is the panther, some where else it is termed mountain lion, in another locality it is called puma, and the old-time backwoodsman will tell you bloo6-curdling stories of the painter. In northeastern Washington it is general ly spoken of as the cougar

 Among many people-and this includes those who should know better-this ani- nal Is looked upon as very dangerous. Awe-inspiring stories are told of the cou- gar springing from a rocky ledge or an overhanging tree and rending the hapless wayfarer passing beneath. These anec- dotes have been heard by all and believed by many, nor will I deny that such things may have occurred, but it is safe to say that practically all these stories are exag- gerated and many of them are downright lies.

 David Hoffman, father of ten children, including a new pair of twins, was taken before Magistrate Donohue's court to- day.
 Recently his wife gave birth to twins. This was displeasing to the husband and father, and last night he ill-treated his wife. When arraigned he said: 'It was all on account of the twins.
