Rossini promised place in the

Courier. At one of his dinner parties
the butler announced the visit of this
same protege. Rossini fastened to well
come him and, relieving him of his in
strument, disappeared a few moments,
to return with his friend. Handing the
instrument to the trombonist with re-
quest to let the company hear him,
Rossini prepared to listen. Trombone

sound, cheeks bullying, eyes distended.
In vain the unhappy man makes super

sounds. At last! Oh, effort supreme!
With a sound like hoarse goose

Selling a States Farms.

Massachusetts, has been making
successful efforts to dispose OF the
unoccupied farm lands in the state.
Legislation to this end was started in
1909 and was continued this year.
The matter was placed by the legisla-
ture in the hands of the state board OF
agriculture, which adopted a method
of issuing a catalogue containing a
general description of the soil,
climate, farm products and markets
of the state, as we'll as details con-
corning the individual farms on the
market.
Secretary J. Lewis Ellsworth now
reports that the board has sold one
hundred farms at an average price OF
about three thousand dollars, and
that about three hundred and sixty
farms still remain listed for sale.
This method of handling q states
unoccupied land seems to be q pretty
good one. A purchaser is likely tc
rely upon the states description o.
the land and to feel that he is fairly
safe in accepting it as accurate

TRAPPING EAGLES.
The Chinese Get Them With a Baited
Net and a Decoy Bird.

I've. oitO q HSSOy oITGs
Every year, according to an old Gus
tom, in the second quarter of the Sep
TENDER or October moon, the inhabit-
ants of the Chinese province of Shan
tung go to Mongolia to hunt the eagles
which abound in that region. The
huntsmen march in troops along the
roads, carrying on their shoulders long
poles from which are suspended their
baggage and provisions and on which
are perched tame eagles to be used as
decoys.
The hunters make use of large net,
spread open on the ground and baited
with small dried fishes, in the midst
of which is placed tame eagle. The
decoy naturally begins to devour the
bait and thus invites it's wild cousins
to follow it's example. When the birds
have alighted and are feeding the
hunter, from his hiding place two or
three hundred yards distant, quickly
closes the net by means of cords and
thus captures the eagles.
Eagle hunting is very lucrative. The
feathers are used in the manufacture
Of fans and are sold at a high price
even in China. There are three sorts
Kicpei, black with white centers; Che
ma, white spotted with black; Tout
sing, half white and half black. Sew
eral eagles contribute to the making
of a fan, for only a small part of the
plumage can be utilized; hence these
| fans are very costly.

ANIMAL EVOLUTION.
Changes In the Partridges Of the Ca
nary Islands.


nary Islands.
A remarkable example of the effects
Of environment and changed condi-
tons of life upon the forms of ami
mails is furnished by a species of par
fridge living in the Canary islands.
Over 400 years ago the Spaniards in
troduced the red legged partridge from
Europe into these islands, and the bird
has continued to flourish there; but, as
recent examination proves, it has I'M
dergone notifications clearly brought
about by the conditions under which
it lives.
Its back has turned from russell
color to gray. This looks like pro-
tective celebration, since the bird passes
it's life among gray volcanic rocks.
Its beak has become one-fourth
longer and thicker than that of its
ancestors and Of it's European rela-
tives, and it's legs also have increased
in length and grown stouter.
These changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit it to the life that
it is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountain sides OF
the islands, where a more rigorous
physical development is required than
was needed in it's former home.-Har

ENLIVENED THE SCENE.
But HERDS improvisation Did Not Help
Leander Much.

But HERDS improvisation Did Not Help
Leander Much.
Innumerable are the tales of actors
in difficulties. Here is one related Of
Christian Brandes, the dramatist, who
in his youth belonged to strolling
company which played pieces of an
extremely primitive kind.
On one occasion the play was enti-
tied "Hero and Leander," the dialogue
being left pretty much to the discre-
ton of the players. It had been
agreed, however, that Hero was to be
coy and not confess her love for Lean
der till he had again and again ex-
burned and drowned in her behalf.
But the lady was soft hearted, besides
being exceedingly fond of Brandes,
nor could she listen unmoved to the
first passionate pleadings of the youth,
who explained that he had sWum
across the Hellespont to see her. my
dear Leander," she exclaimed, II can
not resist you. Accept my hand and
my heart"
Leander knew not what to say. All
his prepared phrases were useless.
The manager came to his aid with a
loud whisper addressed to Hero, IN
the fend's name, improvise a few
| words and retire!'
The poor girl, turning to the audi
ence, repeated her lesson. I'm the
fend's name, improvisc few words
and retire. and then tripped off the
stage, greatly relieved.-London Graph
