Duel Between Partridqes.

The mating season is a time OF
great excitement among the par.
tridges, and generally extends over
a fortnight or three weeks, according
to the size of the stock and the pro.
portion of the sexes. says the Country
Gentleman. Should cocks preponder-
ate to an excessive degree, the bust.
ness will not be settled till many q
pitched battle has been fought to the
bitter end, and the weaker males Ell.
ther driven away or actually killed.
A cock partridge is so poorly armed
for the fray that it is matter for
surprise he should be able to kill one
of his own kind, but if battle is
watched there will no longer be cause
for wonder, once bird recognizes
itself beaten it appears to make no
further attempt at defense, and tanely
submits to be scalped by it's successful
rival.
There is nothing in the whole ami.
NAL world quite so craven as beaten
partridge, for it seldom makes an eff.
fort even to escape.

Stories regarding the various repre-.

gathering Of Scotchmen at the Fourth
Presbyterian church recently, the oc-
casion being Burns meeting. Rev.
William McCaughan contributed this
one: IAN Englishman, a Scotchman
and an 1rishman were conversing to-
gether, when the Scotchman asked the
Englishman to what nationality he
would belong if he could not be an
Englishman.
I'D be Scotchman,,' replied the
Englishman. What would you be un-
der the same circumstances? he asked
his Questioner.
mot to be outdone in courtesy, and
wishing to show his great admiration
Tor his English friend, the Scotchman
replied: I'D be an Englishman if l
couldn't be Scotchman.
Turning to the 1rishman, who up
to this time had been left out of the
conversation. they sought his answer
to the same question.
Indade,' replied their friend from
the isle across the water, If couldn't
be an Irishman I'd be ashamed of N.Y.

70 4 MONSTER DIAMOND.
Latest Addition to Worlds Great Gems
Worth $1,000, 900.

What Is said to be the biggest dia-
mond In the world is reposing in a
bank In Holborn Viaduct in London,
quite close to the home of the dia-
mona merchants in Hatton Garden.
Inc very name of the bank Is kept a
profound secret. And so careful a mat.
ter Is the showing of the stone to the
representatives of oriental princes, to
commercial syndicates and interna'
tional associations of diamond dealers
that number of crystal fac-similes
have been made and prospective buy
ers have to be satisfied with these
replicas.
II, however, it is seen that they
mean business, the insurance company
ts notified. and, according to the Amer
lean Magazine, a heavy premium is
paid by the owner for the removal of
the stone from the strong room of
the bank.
This gem is twice as big as the big.
gest egg the biggest hen ever laid,
weighs pound and third, and Is
invaluable. Nobody knows what it is
worth, but $5,000,000 is reasonable
price.
This record stone was not, as might
be supposed, sent to Europe in ship
OF Its own. So prosaic is the civilized
commerce of to-day that this vast
treasure was merely sealed up in a
tin box registered as a postal packet
and sent through the mails as though
1t were a worthless geological speci
men.
1t was received from South Africa
at the London Office of the Premier
Diamond Mining Company, Limited
and measures were taken at once tc
insure It for about half its value-say

SHOWS ADVANCE OF JAPAN.
Crude Methods of Mining Discarded
for Most Up.to-Date Ideas.

Near the center Of the beautiful
mountain island of Shikoku, and
standing rather more than 1000 feet
above the waters of the inland sea
OF Japan, there is peak of sulphide
copper ore which has become a cen
ter OF industry popularity known
throughout the island empire as
Sumitomo Bessi. Here, for centuries
before the industrial development of
the new world was begun by white
men, the Japanese were mining in q
crude way and carrying the ore on
their backs in small wicker baskets
(such as are still used for coaling
ships at Nagasaki) down the II miles
OF arduous mountain paths to the
smelters on the shore OF the inland
sea-
To-day the marvellous little work.
ers are still at the pursuit Of burrow.
ing out the mountain, but vast
change has come over the methods of
working, says writer in the En-
cheering Magazine. Where in the
ancient times only a paltry few hun
dred baskets of ore were each day
borne over the difficult trails, an out
put Of 5000 tons daily now glides
down great galloway, and is car.
ried from the foot of the slope by rail-
road to the sea. In short, there is
established at Sumitomo Bessis a
modern mining plant, modern in all
essential details of engineering con-
struction, and the wonder of the
Transformation is that it has been
wrought without the direct assist
ance Of a single foreign engineer.

Unfortunate Pantomimist.

Many stories are told of misadven.
lures in pantomimes, which, however
amusing to the onlookers, are no
laughing matter for the unfortunate
actors. On one occasion Mr.. Polush
was taking the part Of clown in. a
Liverpool theater. In jumping from
the root Of a house the stage gave
way and he fell a distance of 40 feet
luckily into heap of sawdust
What hurt him more than the fall was
the fact that, instead of receiving
sympathy, he was actually fined for
the damage done to the stage.

We note that several of our ex
changes last week contained a
lengthy dissertation on the differ.
ence in the phraseology used by a
scribe and by an attorney in giving
away an orange. And we could
but wonder at the fact that the
idea gained such a scope as to
prompt it's, production in both
Michigan and Minnesota exchanges
on the same date. Truly great
minds must travel in the same
channel, but we could but wonder
if the same difference would be
discernible if the. parties to the ex.
ample were giving away a lemon in.
stead of an orange.
