Said to 13e More :litlt•itioltti Than the Biros '1'I cioselves, "Pew persons aro aware o1 the ,fact," said a well l;nowii physician, "brit it is true, nevertheless, that the egg of the partridge is one of the most nutritious things in the world. They are not used for eating purposes except in very rare e citrus, and then It generally happens in • remote rural districts. I have known negro families in the state of Louisiana during the laying season to live on the eggs of partridges. ,,• And they would flourish handsomely and grow fat on account of the rich properties of the eggs. "These eggs, of course, never find their way into the market because they are never taken from their nest except by such persons es I have mentioned, and they rob the nests, I suppose, be- cause their principal food supply comes from this source. Quail . meat comes pretty high in the market at all times, and the average man will find it more Profitable to spare the eggs and wait for the birds when the hunting season rolls around. These men would pass 100 nests in one day without disturbing an egg. The sport of hunting the birds is an additional incentive. "The average negro does not care so much about this aspect of the case. He figures that the white man, having the best gun and the best dog, will beat him to the bird. So he goes after the egg. One partridge will lay anywhere from 12 to 20 eggs, and a nest Is a good find. I know of many families in rural sections who feast on these eggs in the laying season. I have tried the egg myself as an experiment. I found It peculiarly rich. It has a good flavor, is very palatable and in fact is altogether a very fine thing to eat. Really I be- lieve that the egg has more nutrition in it than the fully developed bird, but of course, as one or the men fond of the game in the field, 1 would like to discourage the robbery of the nests." Animal Intellige.nee. jri a circus In Paris a lion was given some meat shut up in a box with a lid to it, and the spectators watched to see whether the lion would open the lid or crack the box.

Daily RTatiaics regional til In Keeping the i,ltiepe The duties of the lighthouse keeper are many and important. The top of the tower. .is usually, a tiny room, all glass windows. The lantern is in the center of the room It is a great prism of glass, in shape like' a beehive. The lamp is set 'into this, and the lenses magnify the comparatively small light of the lamp and make it a great beacon seen far off over the waters. Should the laminant be a flashlight, there is machinery to be ,wound up every few hours to cause it to revolve. At'sunset the keeper climbs the steep steps in the high tower, takes down the curtains that darken it throughout the day and sets the lamp inside the lantern. At midnight the lamp is changed. A fresh= ly filled one is put In the place of the first lighted one. When storms are raging or fogs pre- vailing, the keeper stays awake to wind the machinery that keeps the fog signal booming over the water. Many sleepless nights are thus spent by the light keepers in devoted vigil of the aids to navigation. At the gray of dawn the keeper is again climbing the steep iron Ladder to the tower top. Be- fore the red rim of the sun appears the lamp is extinguished, the fine prismatic lenses are covered, and the huge panes of glass that form the walls of the room are curtained. The large lamp is carried down the flights of an almost perpendicular ladder and when filled, trimmed and cleaned is ready for the sunset hour. The work of the keeper Is not concluded with this feat. The most perplexing portion of the daily routine is now to be performed. The light keeper must give an ac- count of his stewardship. .A. record is kept of every gill, pint, quart and gal- lon of oil that is nightly consumed by the lamps, the fractional parts of inch- es of wick burned, the lamp chimneys broken and the general consumption of all supplies furnished yearly in large quantities by the government. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Currants are delicious when served with bananas. Slice the Iatter fruit and add plenty of sugar because of the acidity of tate currants. For cleaning a hairbrush use a weak solution of soda water. When tepid, shake the bristles In it. They will be cleaned without being weakened. Space In a closet can be much in- creased by using hangers or wire forms hung on slats put across above the wooden strips that hold the usual hooks. Ilow do you get the parafln on top of the jelly? Put a piece that you think when melted will cover the jelly in the ;lass, four the hot jelly in. The teas will come to the top. When you wash handkerchiefs, col- lars, etc.. put them lu a pillowslip be- fore they go into the boiler. You spend no time fishing for them, and they don't get lost or thrown out with the sutL3. Pineapple juice drained from the fruit and mixed with currant, lemon, blackberry or raspberry juice maks :a delicious drink.

Reminiscences ot Men Who Tied, Seen Worse Days and Irritating Announcements When They Were Bard Vs and Out ot Employment. The advance agentmet the leading man of another show the other night, and, as they had not seen each other in seven years, there was a warmness about their greeting that was refresh Ing. "Dear old Tom!" said the leading man. "I was thinking of younot eve minutes ago. Sit down, you dear old fellow! I passed a bakery not five min- utes ago, and I thought of you. Why, Ini- e's Willis!! I was just saying to Tont that I never see a baker's that I don't think of him. Tom and I were poor once! Mighty poor too. I re- member that we lead been turned out of different homes on the same cold night and met each other for the first time by chance. We shared the com- forts of a butcher's wagon that night and went upon a rummaging expedi- tion the next day. We halted in front of a German bakery, half starved and disgusted with life generally. There was a huge sign in the window which said, "there Is No Cake LIke Ours.' We hadn't a. penny between us, but Tom stepped in and asked for a sample of the cake. The Dutchman didn't ap- preciate the humor of the request, so Tom said, 'You may keep your cake, boss; but, say, give me a chunk of bread, quick, or I'll eut out your giz- "zard.' I'll never forget that cake sign because it took us hours to get away from the police who were attracted to the scene by the baker's cites for help." "But that was not my only experi- ence with a peculiar sign," remarked the advance agent after a hearty laugh. "The year before I went on the road for the first time I was in as hard luck as ever man was. 1 had pawned ev- erything In sight and was almost starv- ed. I found an umbrella in the hall- way or a down town building, and the janitor told me to keep It. It was fairly good rain shield, and I immedi ately carried It to mine uncle. 1 didn" know this particular relative, althougt I bad formed the acquaintance or hurl dreds of his people.

"'Yes; I answered, "'That will cost you 12 cents. Per- haps you would like to have It lusured't It is always advisable. but It Will cost you 12 cents more: replied my friend. " 'Alt right; I said. 'Take good care o1 it.' Ile could have eaten it for all 1 eared, for I never intended to redeem k. I was about to leave the place when I saw a. big sign on the far wall. It said: " `No extra charge for putting watch• es and jewelry in the safe inthe elfin.'
