Duel Between Partridqes.

The mating season is 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 busi- ness will not be settled till many a pitched battle has been fought to the bitter end, and the weaker males ei- ther driven away or actually killed.
 A cock partridge is so poorly armed for the fray that it is a matter for surprise he should be able to kill one of his own kind, but if a battle is watched there will no longer be cause for wonder, once a bird recognizes itself beaten it appears to make nc further attempt at defense, and tamely 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.

HoyIe on Whist.

Hoyle was the first writer on whist. His short treatise on ths game was is sued in 1742, in manuscript, at a guinea (s5) a copy, and his income was further augmented by deciding disputed points" at guinea deci- sion, and by giving lessons in whist at a guinea each. Cavendish, Clay and Pole elucidate to limited extent; but book learning in whist, or any other science, doesn't amount to a TOW of pins, as it is in matters beyond mere rule that the skill of the analyst Is evinced long experience becoming intuition, if experience has the proper sort of gray matter to work upon. Whist is language, and every card played an intelligible sentence"

A Turkish Health Report,

The French government, wishing to obtain definite statistics on points re- lating to certain Turkish provinces recently sent blanks with questions lating to certain Turkish provinces, to be answered to the Provincial gov ernors. The replies received from the Pasha of Damascus are worth quoting:
 Question. What is the death rate in your province?
 Answer. In Damascus it is the will of Allah that all should die Some die young and some die old
 o. What is the annual number of births?
 A. God alone can say-I do not know, and hesitate to inquire.
 Q. Are the supplies of water sui. ficient and of good quality?
 A. From the remotest period no one has died in Damascus of thirst.
 General remarks as to the local san. itation: Man should not bother him. self or his brother with questions that concern only God.

MAlL-ORDER WAYS
A BAD TESTAMENT FOR
 CATALOGUE HOUSES.
AT SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE
Sooner or Later 1t Teaches Every Mall Order Patron the Error of Sending His Money
 from Home.

The methods of the mail-order houses are their worst advertisement Sooner or later there will come time in the experience of every purchaser of their goods when he will wish he hadn't done it, when he will wish he had spent his money with his home merchants. This is not only because he will see the ruin wrought in his own community by the nefaricus prao- tice of sending the money of the con- munity to the city, but also because Cf the practices of the mail order cor- cerns.
 The story in the catalogue sounds well. It sounds like you would get the identical thing you wanted and at a much lower price than you had i'm agined it could be bought for, and you order 1t. The purchase arrives and when opened you feel that some mis- take has been made, that the concern has sent you the wrong goods; it is not what you ordered.
 An, but it is. The difference is be- tween the way it actually looks and the way it sounds in the catalogue.
 You explain that the goods you re- ceived is not what you ordered and ask for an accounting, and are told that it is you that is in error, that you got just what you ordered, and then if you are wise you buy of the

 house 32 feet wide and A feet long, exclusive of porches, is shown in this plan. The house contains eight rooms besides a bathroom, storage room and the necessary closets, with both front and back stair, and it may be built for about $2,500 in favorable locations where building materials and carpenter talent may be had at req sonable prices.
 In the best resident sections in the smaller cities a good-sized house is necessary to fit the surroundings. Fashion decrees that certain parts of the town are aristocratically inclined and for this reason are more desira- ble. If you wish to be considered cor, rect, that is, if you want to get into
 
 of the lots upon which society has placed its seal of approval. Such lots being in better demand, because of the indorsement, command higher prices. You are obliged to pay several hundred dollars for pure sentiment. The streets are little wider on qual- ity hill, but the soil is no better for your garden.
 After you get the lot it is necessary to build house in conformity with the importance of the neighborhood or you will queer yourself by not bal ancing things up right. Men have of ten made mistakes by building an ex- pensive house in a cheap neighbor- hood. They are never satisfied with results while they live and after they are dead their heirs are unable to dis pose of the property for more than

and look over his stock where we can see the goods before buying. There are then no errors in change or re. funds to be haggled over across a 300- mile stretch
 Yes, it is better to trade at home. Our home merchants guarantee upon an article means something, as he wants our good will. Keeping the money at home benefits home indus tries and thus, indirectly, us We can not expect to sell our products to the local merchant and do our trading in Chicago. It is all one-sided and some time we would have no local merchant to do our buying.
 Catalogue houses, have found from bitter experiences, are tricky. If those who are dealing with them will watch their purchases, they will find it so sooner or later. Our last deal, had it occurred here at home, would have been strengthened out in five minutes and without feeling, but with you it takes me all winter to get my money back when the goods are not satisfac- tory, and even then I get only credit card which is lost through studied carelessness upon the part of someone in your concern so that I have noth- ing to show for my claim.

home, merchant next time, and know what you get when you pass over the money for it. He may not be able to sell you what you thought you were buying from the mail-order house at the catalogue price, but he can sell you, if he has it, the same goods you get from the mail-order houses at an equal or less price than they ask for it, and what is more, he can sell you what you really want at as reasonable d price as you can get it for else where.
 The following letter, written by a Michigan farmer, explains in clear and unmistakable way the danger of buying of mail-order concerns. It was addressed to one of the largest of this class of institution in this country:
 Baldwin, Mich, Jan. F, 1907. Gentlemen:
 I have your favor of recent date, and also your catalogues and accom- panying circulars offering premiums for distribution of the same among my friends. I have no doubt that, as you say, I will thereby confer a great fa- vor upon you, but l am compelled to take issue with you on the statement that I will also confer favor upon my friends.
 In my dealings with you, extending

rience when occupying rented house.
 In building house after this plan it is better to have lot 30 feet wide. although a 40-foot corner lot would do very we'll, but street of 40-foct lots each with house as wide as this house looks too narrow and crowded. Streets like this are helped somewhat by having the houses all on the north side of the lots if the street runs north and south. or on the east side if the street runs east and west But it would only leave eight feet between the houses and this is not enough in a country like this, where there is so much blue sky
 A very important feature of this house is the cellar. In the first place, for the sake of good health, the cellar easy proposition to make dry cellar when there is sewer in the street. The nature of the soil will indicate whether tile draining is necessary or not, but the cellar is the foundation or the house, it is the storage room for eatables and very often the source of great deal of comfort, but a little neglect may work in the direction of trouble. It is good precaution to run a drain tile all the way around the foundation wall at the bottom, with the highest point of the tile at least two inches below the level of the eel far floor, and connect the 1th the sewer or cess pool.
 All good cellars should have fruit room partitioned of in such a way As to keep it cool and clean. There is more or less dust from the furnace and, of course, the heat from furnace in winter spells fruit room. One great satisfaction in owning a good house and lot is to have fruit and veg etables of your own growing and a good place in which to keep them in the best condition until wanted fos use.

over some time past, I have received no iavors from you-I paid for all got, and the length of time I traded with you, instead of establishing friendly relations and gaining me ad ditional favor as it would in home store, gave you the opinion that, un. like a new customer, to whom you give your very best, so they will come again, was steady conner and any old thing would do for me.
 Our last deal opened my eyes and convinced me of your policy. Your catalogues offer some apparently great bargains. But let us draw up our chairs and see if there are not few things very essential to the rural citi- zen that are not mentioned within it's veluminous bulk.
 For instance, there is no reference to paying cash or exchanging goods for wheat, oats, corn, beans, butter, eggs and hay.
 How much will you pay for cattle, sheep and hogs, f. O. b., at Baldwin?
 How much will you pay to support
 
 the Lake county schools and educate our children? How much for improv- ing our roads and bridges? For SUD- porting the poor? For the general public expense?
 On what page do you offer to con- tribute money to the support of our churches?
 What line of credit will you extend to me when my money is low because of sickness, or poor crops? What do you provide in the way of entertain ment for the public and in the way of providing those things that make a town desirable and thus keep up the value of my property?
 AS matter of fact, do you do any thing to help locally, or do you merely take the money out of community, returning nothing whatever, beyond the value of the goods bought? Think ing it over carefully, I believe it is better to call upon our local dealer

 Can you, MT. Purchaser not profit by the experience of others and turn your money into home channels by trading with home merchants where you will get dollars worth for dol lar, or must you follow the mail-ordeI mans lead to trouble for yourself and destruction for your community?
