E. NJ. Simpson, the China pheasant
fancier, has just shipped from his
yards in Corvallis 200 of the birds,
says the Jacksonville Times. They
go to Kansas and will be turned loose
there to stock the state.
The express charges on the ship
ment will be from $3.50 to 5000, and
While the price is not made public,
1t is believed to be $3.50 per pair, as
the Kansas authorities recently au-
thorized the purchase of enough birds
to stock the state, even If the price
should go to SIS per bird, and 1t is
known that in Linn county the price
recently stood at $3.50 per pair. with
not enough birds to fill the order.
Mr.. Simpson raised 400 pheasants
this year, and would have had twice
as many had 1t not been for the hard
rains which killed the young birds.

Agricultural Implements I'm Canada.

While Canada is making large i'm
ports of agricultural implements which
aggr egate over S3.O00O00 a year, of
which the United States furnishes
nearly all, 1t is shown by the Canadian
Manufacturer that their exports of
precisely the same lines of implements
were valued in 1904 at s2,556SS4.
There are no statistics to show what
the domestic demand in Canada for
such articles was, but they estimate it
at nearly s6,000,000, The tariff sched-
ules of both Canada and the United
States are identical on agricultural inn
plements. viz, 20 per cent ad valorem.

quantity describes an old English stat
ute against the Gipsies. Ever since
the year 1880, says writer In the Lon
don Standard, Great Britain has tried
to get rid of this strange people with
out appreciable success. Every year or
SO some county is up in arms against
them, yet they persist in returning, and
apparently thrive under persecution.
The Gipsles are popularity supposed
to come originally from Egypt, as their
name indicates, but their origin Is
traced farther east than the land of
the Nile. Wherever they come from,
they are separate people, a tribe quite
by themselves.
They appeared In England about
1905, and twenty-six years later Henry
VIII. ordered them to leave the coun.
try In sixteen days, taking all their
goods with them. "An outlandish peo-
ple." he called them. The act was in
effectual, and In 1862 Elizabeth framed
still more stringent law, and many
were hanged.
But what numbers were executed"

intolerable nuisance. Both In that
country and in England legislation
proved quite Intellectual. The acts
gradually fell into desuetude. Under

the modern Gypsy does little evil be-
yond begging and petty theft, but his
determination not to work is as strong
as ever, and 1t seems curious that an
Industrial people like ours continues
to tolerate horde of professional
idiers." How numerous the horde Ia
may be gathered from the fact that the
number who wintered In Surrey one
year was estimated at ten thousand.
The language as we'll as the life of
the Gypsy tribe has a tenacity of lts
own. Many Of their words have taken
firm hold In a half-slang, half-permissi-

man. Cutting up is Gipsy for quar-

diplomacy of Ex-Minister r.. J.
Phelps with a Vermont Farmer.
Il. j. Phelps, former United States
Minister to England. was building a
new stable on his home place at Bur
lington, Vt He wanted TO put It on
the line of his property, and in doing
30 tore down part of stone wall which
marked the boundary and which stood
half ON his land and half on the land
adjoining.
Iho workmen, instead of otherwise
disposing of the stone, as they had been
ordered to do, threw 1t over the line.
and Mr.. Phelps feared trouble with his
nelghbor, who was a closet listed per-
son, of temper none too sweet and
very Jealous of his rights. As Mr..
Phelps was observing the progress of
the work on his stable one day he saw
his neighbor looking rather cross at
him, as he thought. and went over to
MIN prepared to make his peace as best
ne might, having 1t in mind to say
that he would haul away the stone at
his own cost, which would have been
quite an expensive undertaking.
But he did not propose that at once.
he went at 1t another way.
Good morning, neighbor," said he

but l can't use it as we'll as you can.
You are entirely welcome to my half of

So the result Of that interview was
peace, and not war.
