be has found successful in en-
couraging the propagation of
quails in his locality. Fence
rows and corners on his farm
for two or three years past
have been planted TO sugar
cane, which he has left stand
ing. The quail fiud lthese little
canebrakes an ideal shelter
from their worst enemies,
hawks and owls. and from win
ter storms, while the seed rip
ened by the canes furnished a
supply of food of which quails
are very fond. In view of the
value of bobwhite as an insect
destroyer, any plan which will
furnish him protection through
the winter is entitled to serious
consideration.

to admit that some things men have done better than we have. These
two subjects ar specially within the womans domain, and yet in their
higher aspects she is content to be led by men. This seems strange at
first sight. Indeed, it has been used as a reproach. But, after all, there
1T a number of reasons that make it quite a natural state of affairs. 1t
is still true, as Burton said in his ANATOMY of Melancholy" that Cook
cry is become an art, a noble science cooks are gentlemen"
A womans knowledge of cooking is almost entirely a knowledge
of how to prepare things that will taste nice. She thinks of every dish
IS an entity, and she seldom considers it in relation to the courses that
precede and follow it
As for dress, the reason for the supremacy of the male ESQ fr) is
easily found. Men have always been the executive artists; they inherit
the talents of the ages. Womens instinct has not been cultivated to
the same extent. They love pretty things, but they do not study them
selves. The French woman knows more about her appearance than the
English about hers, but not Sc much as the French man knows about
the appearance of all women. In the external treatment of the picture
called woman, the man has the advantage of detachment from his sub
ject; whereas a woman has a hundred prejudices. AS a rule, a woman
falls in love with a frock, o. a hat, purely on its own merits, and not
because it will suit her so admirably. The falacy that men never know
how a woman is dressed is q mere air bubble. 1t is true enough that
they may not know what she has on; but they always know how she is
dressed-weu or il, too much or too brightly. The woman notices what
clothes the other wears; the man knows whether the picture is successful
and harmonious o not. 1t is this cultivated eye for the whole, the cm
tyated palate for the whole, which makes the man the supreme artist
in dress and in food, and will do SO until women make up some of the
tune and education they have lost during several centuies

Origin Of the steel shoulder-strap.

II 1t were possible to compile such
data. II would be extremely interesting
to know to what extent women have
influenced the uniforms and equip
ment Of their fighting mates, A little
instance in point is the steel curb
s~houlder-strap of the British cavalry.
When Sir George Luck was setting
out for Kandahar during the Afghan
operations Lady Luck, knowing prob.
ably something OF the fighting methods
of the tribesmen, whose four.foot knife
can cut clean from shoulder to belt,
sewed a couple Of steel curb chains
under each of the shoulder-straps on
her husbands tunlc. As a protection
from sword-cuts these proved so ef-
f~ective, that at the end of the cam.
paign Sir George made a report In re-
lation thereto, with the result that
they were adopted as a permanent
feature of the cavalry uniform.-Har.
