QUAlLS FROM EGYPT.
Birds Are Trapped, Cared for, and
Transported by Thousands.

Birds Are Trapped, Cared for, and
Transported by Thousands.
From the London Express.
A record consignment of 10000 live
Egyptian quails, requiring special
conveyance, from Alexandria to Lon
don by way of the Manchester ship
canal, left Alexandria on March rs,
and reached Manchester last Saturday,
when they were transferred to a spe-
cial express for London. Twenty
drays were required to convey them
from Kings Cross to their destina-
ton.
1t is most extraordinary that al
though on many occasions search has
been made, the breeding ground of the
quails is absolutely unknown. They
are trapped by Arabs, who deliver
them in half dozens in boxes and bas.
kets to the Egyptian Quail Syndicate's
collecting depots, situated at all sta
lions on the Egyptian state railways
between Alexandria and Assiout and
Khartum, and sent to the warehouses
in Alexandria to await shipment This
warehouse is used exclusively for the
purpose of keeping the quail until
sufficient number has been received,
and is as large as the agricultural hall.
The quails are placed in crates s
feet long with six tiers and capable
of holding 600 birds for shipment. AS
the syndicate only receives payment
for birds which are alive when deliv-
ered very great care and attention
has to be paid to them during tran
sit.
Six Arabs are told off whose special
duty it is to feed and water the birds
vice every day, and during the pres.
ent journey 100 bags, each weighing
wo hundred weight of millet seed
we're consumed. On fine days the
rates are brought up to a sheltered
ostion on deck for airing.

CLOSE SALOONS
RUN IN WOODS
Lumbermen Protest Against
Issuance of Licenses for
Booze Joints Near Camps

The board Of county commission
ers convened this morning and the
greater portion of the day was spent
in considering applications for saloon
licenses from parties in the up-river
country, and listening to protests
against them by representatives of
the various lumber companies. and
the Milwaukee road which is being
constructed in that country.
The protest was of a general char
acter and asked the board to grant
no licenses for the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors above st. Maries. A par
ticular protest was lodged against
the application of C. E. Hill. of
Emida and Edward O'Donnell of En-
erald creek. The reasons given by
the representatives of the lumber
companies in support of their protest
against the board granting any IL
censes for the sale of liquor in this
territory was that whenever Sunday
would come the men would go to the
towns, and spend their money for
liquor. and when Monday arrived
they would fail to make their appear
anee to take up their work, and that
under these conditions the compan-
les would find themselves the great
er portion of the time operating with
half a crew. Another reason given
was that the towns were for the most
part without police regulations and
that therefore the inhabitants were
without protection both as to prop
erty and life.
The board has not taken any &C.
ton relative to the matter, and IT 1.
understood that 1t is in favor Of
granting the request of the compan
les, and that in the event that It doel
II means the elimination of saloons
at Santa. Emida, Fernwood and Gas
tleberry. and all other towns or pos
Offices in the territories above st
Maries.

SENT MONEY TO WASH
1t Came Back Home in Good COndI-
ton.

1t Came Back Home in Good Conii-
tiOn.
To be hidden away in the farther
end of a pillow sham by their owner,
and to follow that pillow sham into
the wash, and finally pass through
the wringer, and then to be recovered
intact by their owner, was the re-
markable history Of $25 in bills last
Saturday.
The bills belonged to Bob Harri-
SON., one Of the dodgers of the Nor
moyle hotel, and we're hidden away
in the pillow sham on Friday evening
by him before retiring for the night.
When he arose in the morning he for
got about the money, and did not
think OF it again until Saturday after
noon when he went to the room to
make a search for 1t. He then
learned that the pillow shams had
been changed by the chambermaid
and sent to the wash. and here he
lost all hope OF recovering the bills,
He proceeded to the laundry however
to make a search for them. and
learned that they had not been found
by any of the employees. The pillow
shams belonging to the Hotel Nor
moyle, he was informed, had passed
through the wash, and also through
the wringer. but he decided to make
search of them, and to his aston
ishment as well as that OF the EN-
ployes he found the bills tucked ava,
in the farther end of the pillow shan
where he had placed them. He wa
jubilant over the recovery OF the mon
ey, and gave the girl in charge 81
reward.

KNOX BILL KILLED.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-The bill
which had for its purpose the rescind-
ing of the increase of the salary of
the secretary of state so that Senator
Knox would thereby be enabled to
accept the Office and become the head
of the cabinet under President-elect
Taft was defeated in the house to-
day. Senator Knox participated in
the action of the senate in raising
the salary Of this Office, and the law
provides that a member of congress
who so participated can not after
wards occupy the Office by appoint
ment, and it was for the purpose OF
overcoming this bar to Knox's eligi.
bility that the bill was introduced.

PRAGMATIC PANTHEISM

but Professor James reaches the safe ground and adds to it's breadth by his philosophy of pragmatism, the 'get there" philosophy as enthusiastically espoused at Harvard and Columbia as it Is combated at Yale and Princeton.
 The new religion is to make men happier here, but says nothing about a hereafter. Good works are not neces- sarily of any religion, certainly they cannot constitute a religion. We can go on doing good and loving our neigh bor under the old forms. So that it comes to this. that there is nothing in pr. Eliots new religion to take hold of the hearts of the multitude, nothing to bring devotees. hardly anything to bring converts. There is no spontane- ity. no vital quality, nothing to drive the old faith out of any mans mind or to take it's place if driven out, nothing to comfort the dying. It comes pretty near to being pure verbalism, like so many other theories of the philoso- phers. All of which tends to show the inadequacy of pragmatism in moral and spiritual emergencies.

states that Johnson made a move to at tack him. It is charged that Smith drey a knife from his pocket to defend him. self from Johnson's alleged attack and Tn the mix-up which followed Johnson charges that Smith assaulted him with the knife
 This put temporary end to the whole affair and two former friends were now dead set against one another. Johnson came to Birmingham, went before Judge l. H. Benners and swore out war rant for Smith charging him with an assault with a knife. Smith was arrested and put in jail Saturday night but maoe bond after remaining in the prison d very short time.
 No accounting of "old Spec or the hal ter could be made at the county jail yesterday.
