Sharing Quail.

No bird Is better known than the
quail from the Spanish littoral to the
Arabian hillsldes. Twice a year he
passes Eel the great inland sea, north
ward In spring and southwark in Sep
TENDER and October. His coming Is
quite a festival, and many an out
standing bill and many a PEASANTS
overdue rent is paid at his expense.
When he goes northward in May to
his nesting place in middle Europe, the
sandy Italian beaches are lined with
fine netting, loosely held up by stakes,
and the quail, flying low over the sea,
plunge into these and are securely held
by the falling meshes. On the small
Island of Capri, near Naples, 100000
are sometimes taken in a season.-St.

structive lectures by some of South

program. The boys and girls in
dustrial contest of Sphinx county is
a feature of the rural school work
that is Of great interest. Many of
the rural districts offer substantial
prizes for the work of their pupils
and better than the prizes offered
was the interest shown by school
boards and patrons in attending the
meeting and in viewing the indus
trial exhibit. The Office hopes to ar
range an industrial exhibit for Bon

arranged the hearty cooperation of
the teachers will be appreciated.

Lighting the Oven.

A bakers oven, Illuminated on the
inside, is q great advantage, since 9TH
erwise the contents cannot be closely
inspected, unless withdrawn from the
oven. An arrangement suitable for
electric or gas lighting has been de.
vised. The door is hinged to the
frame by means Of pins. One pin Is
provided with a counterweight to IA
cilitate the action of the door in open
ing and closing. The other pin has q
crank arm. On an extension on the
door Is mounted a knife switch, with
two short fingers to engage with the
crank arm. The opening Of the door
establishes an. electrical connection
with n lamp mounted in a casing near
the door. If gas is used, the crank
arm engages with the shank of a
valve which regulates the flow of gas
to the burner In the casing.--Popular

Friendship Without Alloy,

Friendship, to be valuable, must be
uttered, just as gold must be pure to
be really gold, Every grain of alloy
pulls the assay down. If your friend
is but moderately your friend, and not
altogether your friend if his eyes look
into yours with any lack Of frankness
or confidence; If he commits himself
to you guardedly and stands for you
only part of the time; if he can listen
unprotestingly when others speak
slightingly of you, his alleged friend
ship Is of no real avail.--Richard
Wightman.

"The man who stops work is like
the old mill out of use, he falls to
pieces" This quotation is said to
be original with the late Henry Tor
berg, of Chicago, who stuck to his
job as street car conductor for many
years after he had ceased to need
work as an income. Mr.. Torberg,
at the age of 70, died while at work.
Among a practical, industrial and
commercial people, like ourselves,
good music is necessary not only for
enjoyment and recreation but also
for inspiration and for salvation
from death in the din and dust of
trade; and this music should be
democratic in the truest and best
sense. This 1t can never be until it
becomes an integral part of the edu-
cation given in the schools of all
grades.-Claxton.

7. r. Let's His
Volunteers Go

OYSTER BAY, y. Y, May %. -
Col Theodore Roosevelt announced
Sunday night that all men who had
volunteered TO serve with him Un-
der the American Flag in France
had been absOlved from all further
connection with the movement. and
that the only course open TO them
now is to enter the military service
in some other way If they are able
TO do so and if not, to serve the
country in civil life.
AS good American citizens" said
Col. Roosevelt, in a formal state
ment, we Loyalty obey the decision
of the communicative Of the
American army and navy. The men
who have volunteered will now con-
slider themselves absOlved from all
further connection with this move
ment. The funds that have been
promised viii be treated as with
drawn and applied 10 other pur-
poses. I, therefore. direct that this
statement be sent to the leaders in
the various states, who have been
raising troops"
The statement quoted a newspa-
per report TO the effect that the de-
cision TO send Gen. Pershing was
"a compromise between the orig
inal plans of the general staff, which
favored no early expedition, and the
request of Col. Roosevelt for au-
thority for an immediate expedi-
ton" drawing the conclusion that
France thereby will get American
soldiers in the trenches at once al
though Col Roosevelt will not lead
them.
IF this gives the explanation Of
the matter" Col. Roosevelt added,
Il gladly say we are all unselfshly
pleased to have served this use al
though we regret not TO have oeen
allowed ourselves TO render active
service"
