There Is some curiosity as TO how
many English pheasants will be raised
In Kansas this year. Tho average num-
ber OF birds raised by each pair of par
ent birds Is sixty. With 1890 In the
State this would mean about 100000
birds In two years. The woods and
fields would be overrun with them ut
this rate. However, there are many
foes OF the birds and they are killed
every year In great numbers, The sleet-
storms are particularly hard ON them.
as the water freezes on their long plu-
mage and they are unable either to fly
or run fast. When In this condition
they are easy prey to dogs and wolves.
One Of the queerest habits the birds
have Is to migrate In the late winter
thlrty-flve miles. II ls claimed that the
birds always migrate exactly thirty
five miles and always to the south. The
young never stay where they were
hatched, but make this move as soon
as they ARE large enough Naturalists
have never been able to explain this.
The only theory advanced Is that the
birds know If they stay where they
were hatched the country would soon
he overstocked with them.--Kansas

Case of Offending Policeman sug-
gests Remedies for Disease.
Very many Of our readers will be
interested In the ultimate fate Of the
unfortunate snoring policeman who has
been banished from his fellow sleepers
and Gagged at night in sound-proof quar-
ters. Perhaps the dreadful lnfrmfty,
now that 1t has the official recognition
of his superiors, may call for some
suitable scientific treatment. If 80 the
great army of snorers can covertly
watch the outcome with all the cunning
and complacency of undiscovered trans
gressors
We are glad we can make the start
with perfectly fair case, for convic-
tion Of the nuisance is always most diff
ficult to obtain. The culprit must be
caught with the snore on him and in
the presence Of reliable ear witnesses.

ELITE WEDDING
IN WHITECHAPE

LONDON. June 15.--The squalld deni-
zens Of Whitechapel were treated TO a
fashionable wedding In their midst, when
Miss Fanny Chandos-Pole was married
to Ernest S. Martin. heir TO Sir Acquin
Martin. The anomaly of a west end
wedding taking place in the east end
was due 10 the fact that Miss Chandos-
Pole was married from the official resi-
dence Of her uncle, Sir George Luck,
who IS lieutenant governor Of the Tower
Of London. The wedding took place<fn
the nearest Roman Catholic church,
which is the Church OF the English Mar
tyrs. IN Whitechapel.
A guard of Wardens Of the Tower, in
their picturesque "beefeater'' dress.
marshaled the guests under the frown-
ing walls Of the hOaTy tower for the re-
cepion held after the wedding at the
governors residence. The brides train
was borne by small train bearers wear
ing the ''beefeater' dress.
This was the only fashionable wedding
that has taken place in the east end for
a good many years. A few days before.
however, a bride and bridegroom went
straight from the altar Of a west end
church to a feast which they had ar.
ranged for the poor of Whitechapel in
connection with a settlement they
were interested in.

DEGREE OF INSULT
"PIGNOUF" HOLDS
ASKED OF COURT

PARIS, June l5.-The supreme court Of
the republic, the "Cour de Cessation, ="
has been asked to decide what degree Of
insult is conveyed by one gentleman
calling another a 'pignoUf." Literally,
pignouf is a cobbler's apprentice. bet as
an opprobrious epithet IL is quite new.
and no ore seems 10 know what pig
nouf," used hsuratively. exactly means.
Anyway, NJ. ROLAND, an actor, applied
the word publicly 10 q. Simirouti. who
seeks legal redress for the insult. II
was at a Constantnople theater. where
N. Roland was performing with a
French comic opera troupe. He accused
NJ. Simirotd of attacking him in a local
newspaper. and one evening. seeing his
enemy IN the stalls, stopped singing and
shouted at him: You are nothing but
pignoufr'
The insulted journalist prosecuted Roll
land before the French consular tri-
bunal, which was not sympathetic. con-
tenting itself with filming ROLAND 81. NJ
Simiriotti then took the case to the
Court of CassatiCn, in Paris.
The supreme court, however. has
given satisfaction neither 70 the ag-
grieved NJ. Simiriotti nor to the general
public thirsting to know the vituperat.ve
value of ''pgnouf"
1t dismissed the case because it had
no jurisdiction over the findings of con-
sular tribunals. and II evaded the great
''pignouf' question altogether.
