Tho principle that actuated our
ancestors in uur war with Great
Britain and that which influences U3
in the Philippine war stand at opposite
extremes. The revolutionary war
?as fought to throw oft"our allegiance j
r<? Great Britain and establish our
independence. What we then succeeded
in doing we would now pre- "
/ent the Philipino9 from doing. In i
he old war Great Biitain was the h
offenders and we the defenders. In (j
he old war Groat Britain crossed the 8
\tlantic to force us to obey her laws. J,
'n the present war we have crossed s,

Peculiarities of Quail.
xnere are many od<] nud interesting
things to be said of the quail, which Ifl
known throughout a large scope of the
?he partridge. Que is that
it has the power irnrii nHIIJI Nlgnim
o' wHhboMttim It* WMUit. A QOYQY

close the best dog iu the world will

until the bird flutters up right underfoot.
Auother is that it has the faculty
of simulating death. If taken winged
In hand, and of coming quickly to life
the minute the grasp la reluxed In the
neighborhood of good cover. Further,
the birds have a sort of bnrometric
sense.
A woodsman marking the direction
in which quail feed can almost certainly
foretell the day's weather. If they
choose stubble or cornfields, It will bo
tnild and moist; if they go to the open
woods, ho looks for wind and sun; If
they scurry for thickets of brier and
sedge, then ho knows hitter cold la imminent.
Unless forced to migrate by
lack of food a covey always sleeps

The sleeping Is done in a huddled ring,
tails iu. heads out. all around and so
closely huuclied that a good sized napkin
will cover It. Instinct possibly lies
buck of the ring making. Thus the shy
creatures hope to escape surprise from
ereepiug vermin, minks, wensles, foxes,
which steal upon them In the night.
A Peculiar Dutch Custom.
The four Sundays of November arc
observed as fete days In Holland. They
are known by the curious names Review.
Decision, rurcliaso and Possession.
and nil refer to matrimonial affairs.
November In Holland being the.
uioath par excellence devoted to courtship
and marriage, probably because
the agricultural occupations of the year
arc over and possibly because the lords
of creation from quite remote antiquity
have recognized the pleasantness
of having wives to cook and cater for
them during the long winter.
On Review Sunday everybody goes
to church, and after service there Is a
church parade tn every village, when
tlie youths and maidens gaze upon
each other, but forbear to speak.
On Decision Hundny each bachelor
who Is seeking a wife approaches the
maiden Of his oholeo Willi n e

Unices whether his advances
