stand and pointing nearly behind bur. Lady
Bel, seeing her from the other aid*, drew slowly

into the water. When about half way across
? be was evidently overtaken by the fear of
coming too near and encroaching on Fan's
rights. tk> she stopped half emerged, in mid
stream. Dreading the descent down tho steep
bank. Istood where I was, hoping ths bird
would pet np of its own accord. This did not
occur, no I slid, scrambled and fell to tho bot
tom and approached the dogs. I reached the
stream, but bad not yet disturbed a feather.
A few more steps brought me on the same side
as Fan. I wonaered how she could retain the
uncomfortable and crumped position she was
in. But she did, and showed bo signs of weak
ening either.
TT W k* A TTIlTlt
Uterving myself for the denouement I pushed
in ahead to fln?h the partridge, walking over
all the ground pointed out. but failing to put
up the bird. Had 1 not been sure of the do?*
I should have thought it was a rabbit or ?quir>
re!. Under the circumstances it completely
mystified me. I looked over at my compan
ions. They stood tho tame as before. I spoke
to them, but they obstinately held their
point, and in a way that suggested that they
knew their business and thought it was just a
little queer I didn't kuow mine. I began to
think 1 didn't, sur? enough, when my eve?
were attracted by a small, round, (potted ob
ject jnst at my feet Ey the great born
?poon*! it was a turtle. Tho mystery waa
solved.
DT'CVVTITED casisis.
As I picked up the cause of my disappoint- j
ment tho dogs l-roke their point and came in.
First they smelt of Ur. Turtle and then sniffed
the groand where he had cowered. It waa
wilh some difficulty that I recognized them as
the same do?'? which had ohly n moment be
fore presented a picture that cnused mv nerves
to tiugle and heart to multiply its beat*. I
simply looked first at them auil then at the
turtle, which was nil that waa needful to com
plete their discomfiturn. The great law of na
ture, gravitation, did the rest, and their heads
sml tails swept the gr}un<l. Nearly unv dog
wili fool himself and master on a turtle. When j
aoaii shooting touth I have seen half a dozen
logs alauding with as many men drawn up in
mooting array back of them with nothing but
s turtle ahead.
Before reaching home I put up another .
brood, but ouly got two of them owing to the 1
thick cover, thus making eight birds in all?*
bag that one need not bo ashamed of, aa |
partridge shooting is the roost difficult of all
wing shooting, and the man that can count
three or four dead birds out of every ten shot*
(?hoot:ng at every bird that gets up) may con
sider himself a regular hick Deader*. lie
may put up his woodoock. quail or snipe with
the' certainty that if the bird gives him * fair
chance it m as good a* dead since about seven
out of every ten wii* drup to the report of bis
gun.
OXB BULK
that should be elosely adhered to in this sport
is to alwayi shoot. Jt makes no difference if
you see a foather or not, throw your shot just
in front of the leaves the bird's flight disturbed.
Von may not kill him; the chances are about
nine out of ten agaiust you. The advisability
of thts habit, though, is proved when a bird
?hears himself for a few feet only. There is
not then a moment's hesitation us to will I or
? ill I not atioot. But the bird is instantly
covered, and after some practice often killed,
although the chance seems a slim one.
OCH 1JD HUELLS.
In regard to gnn and shells the best remit in
partridge shooting can be obtained with *
seven-pound breech-loader having 'JsMuch bar
rels. the rigbt-lmnd barrel cylinder bore and
left medium neavy clioke. Shells for tlia right
hand barrel (or for the barrel that is first fired)
should be loaded wilh three and a half drachms
of smokcleso powder, primed with black, nJ
one ounce No. 10 shot. Three wads should bs
put over the powder and one on top of salt.
Shells lor the other barrel should have thres
drachms of best black powder and ons aun:e
of No. H shot. For later shooting, when the
birds xTh wilder, tougher and better protected
with feather*, use No. 7 and No. 5 shot
1HI DOGS.
In the choice of dogs for partridge shooting
?elect a setter. IIis long thick h*ir will prove
invaluable as a protection against tho briars.
Wbcrnasa pointer will get foot sore after a
day's hunt and will alio refu-.e to enter briar
patches that a setter will come out of un
scratched.
For a pleasant day's shoot a man's dog should
be well under control, and to insure this they
mn*t be workod fur at least a week in advance
of the ahooting season. Otberwiae they will
be headstrong and ra:ik. and will flush, al
though, perhaps, umutentioually, about as
aiany birds ?? tiiey Hand.

ATTRACTIVE HOMES.
How Two Young Maidens Made a
Charming Boom.
TREASURES IN THE ATTIC.
?t I
OM M IM Vm Re|aT?m?Md-P?rl*
tollM f*r rkclsfrapk Collect Is
SHORT time ago I had tin pleasure
I of eeeing a bed room which had lately
bsen fitted np by two young girls, in
which ingenuity had done to much
toward the good effect that I will de
scribe it Other ingenious young women may
thereby be encouraged to go and do likewise?
or, at least, aa nearly likewise as their re
eoorees will admit of.
la the home of the young girls I refer to
was an attie large enough to accommodate all
the cast-off furniture which had been accumu
lating for years past, and this was the treasure
house whieh enabled them to place in the
room every piece of necessary furniture, and a
good many articles of luxury as well. When
the brilliant idea of refitting their room seised
them the first step was the banishment of the
old-fashioned "bed room set" of chestnut?old
fashioned, but not antique, between which
terms is a world of difference, eometimes.
The/ were saf j in doing this, for they knew
that np in the attie were a bedstead and bu
reau of mahogany , with which their fathor and
mother had set up housekeeping some tnirtr
years ago. The bedstead had headboard and
fo>tboari of the tame height, and when a
modern cabinet maker hud taken it in hand
and brought out tb* rich coloring of the wood
it shono forth a handsome piece of furniture,
well worth the dainty crvenng and embroid
ered linen which was bestowed upon it. The
bureau was high, with flat top, and there was
a small swinging mirror attached, but that
was taken off ai*i a large mirror, as wide as the
bureau and square in form, was added, to its
great improvement Brass handles gave the
finishing tcnch, which made it the equal of the
bed in beanty.
BE-cniATPTS OLD CHAIRS.
In the mahogany line also were two chairs
with box seat* covered with hair cloth. These
seats were taken out, covered with charming
cretonne in pink and green coloring, and the
frames repoliahed like the rest of the wood.
This made an end of their resources, aa far as
solid wood went, but a quite dilapidated wash
stand of stained pine was feund which had
done sul>ordiuate servico at some time or
other. Undaunted by it* unprepossessing ap
pearance they put it through a course of white
paint, finishing with the ennmel gloss, and
when it was all done, with its pretty scarf and
decorated toilet set one wouldn't ask to see
a more inviting looking washktand. An old
jtained towel rack was also made white and |
hung with towels, on each of whicn its in
dustrious owner had embroidered her mono- i
gram. The crowning feature, however, of |
this toilet corner is the scrcen. which affords
seclusion and adds much to the prettinens.
These young girls had been educated at home
in their younger days, and in the attio were
several relics of the old school-room furniture
which were most acceptable windfalls in the
way of
rotrxDATioss ron white paiwt.
One of thele was a rather heavy, plain, two
fold sereen of dark stained pine. From this
the old hangings were taken and the frame
Kinted white, which took away a good deAl of
over-heavy appearance and brass rods were
inserted, on which were shirred curtains of
delicate pink and green flowered silkoline. The
heavy frame made it very firm and solid, while
its light coloring suited the other belongings
of the corner. One of the greatest triumphs
of the room, though, was the ingenious trans
formation of the aid school room desk into the
dainty writing table required by the modern
young woman. This old affair with sloping
lid to lift and four straight legs, was first
treated to tho whitening process, and brass
handlot and key plate set for ornament on the
front aa if tor a drawer. The top was then
slightly padded and white enameled cloth put
over, fastened down on the four sides with
brass-hoaded nails set closely together, leaving
a narrow margin of wood showing. This pretty
and successful little desk is set across a corner
rf the room, with a window at the left hand
giving a good light for writing purposes, and
is fitted np with lovely china inkstanu. tray and
candlestick as aids to friendly correspondence.
On the wall over the desk are some hsnging
shelves or open cabinet?another of the school
room rcmlmsccnces whieh hava been painted
white and hnng with silkoline curtains. These
are equal to holding a considerable number of
books, while tli? top gives space for ornaments,
as there is no mantel shelr in tha room. An
old bed room rocking chair with cane seat and
back has been painted?cano and all?and has
a pretty cretonne cushion ou the scat with
double pillows bung over the back. A small
bed room chair has been similarly treated,
making enough comfortable seats for a small
room.
A CHAEXIKO LITTLE TABLE.
By the bed side is n charming little
table, which would be a pretty addition
to any room where cretonne is suitable.
The frame is of pine, low, with square
top and shelf below and straight, square
legs. This is covered entirely with the same
cretonne as the chairs and the portiere at the
cloeet door. The cretonne ie fastened on the
legs by brass taeka set very eloee together, up
and down. The top ia finished with linen lace
four iuches deep, put on with the brass tacks,
while the shelf lias the same lace on each eide,
Just meeting the legs at each end, but not run
ning around them. It is a particularly pretty
and effective bed room table and occ quito
easily and Inexpensively gotten up. Long cur
tains of silkoline are at each of the three win
dows and also white muaJiu aush curtains, while,
as I said, the heavier eretonne forms the closet
portiere. The wall paper is light and has pink
and green for preraiiing colors. To nil the
white paint applied these yonng artiste added
a few touches of pink and silver in lines,edges.
4c., which gives quite a uuique effect Espe
cially is this shows in a willow wnste-papcr
basket, which stands on the floor by tho dusk
and which has one division painted pink, with
olive green ribbon run through, tied in a big
bow on oue side, the next silvered with pink
ribbon run through, and tho lowest one pink
and groeu again, while the braided rim is sil
ver. Oue can see the use made of the articles
on baud, with the expense for new things put
Into the cretonne and silkoline and white
paint mostly, and so I call the room a triumph
of ingenuity. I should say also that the floor
Is bare, with several pretty rugs scattered
about- the most wholeeotue and attractive ar
rangement for a bed room.
A BOUDOt*.
Next this bed room is the tiny bondoir. over
which the same yonng maiden* preside, and an
attractive little apartment it is, too. It is vary
small, with only a little space either eide of
the door aud a window opposite at the cud.
HobWs egg and peacock blue are combined in
tiie furnuhjage with happy effect The w;Uls
are robin's egg, the rug deeper, and the sofa ie
covered wHh peacock b.ue plush, while the
smaller articles range all the way between the
light and dark tone*. Some rather low book
shelvee are oa eae side of the room, with cur
tain*, oa which ia a little embroidery, while the
top is covered with photographs, china and all
sort* of pretty souvenir* or several years' resi
dence abroad. A dainty little tea table ia op

to inquiries froih thee* ume young people, and
?eeing some of the reealte of their labor* I am
thinking they are about aa well qua hied to
K1T* M take advioe on the subject of decora*
tire art in general. However, one of the things
they wanted my opinion about wae what kind
of an albnm to get for the very pretty colleo
n ?[ Pkotograplw which they had
oollected in their travel* in Europa,
kittdum rot MEOTOQa*r__
I adviaed againat an albnm and for portfolios
instead. It ia so mnch easier to take op on*
picture at a time and look at it tbaa to hold a
heavy album, that that to one argument ia
favor of portfolios. Then another m that al
most only two people can look at an albnm to
gether, while with separate mounted pictnree
* Zt.u *roup of peoP'e c*u entertained
with them at once by exchanging them after
looking at them. I think to put pictures of the
aame style together in one portfolio is the best
?lan and have as many of these receptacles aa
1 tor ,he collection. Landscapes In
one?buildings. exterior and interior views, in
another; portraits in a third and so on, classi
fying according to one's taste and the nature
of the assortment of photograph*.
Those portfolio* can be made very orna
mental or quite plain, aa one chooses. I have
already mentioned similar out*, but aa a guide
to my questioners and hinta to poaaible new
resders I will repeat Two pieces of thick
pasteboard of any required size make the port
folio. Theae are covered smoothly with what
ever material ia selected and a lining pastod in
which conceals the edgea of the outside cover
ing. The outside ia left whole for eome two
inches at the back between the pasteboards to
al ow space for the pictures when the port
folio is filled. Ribbons tie it on the aidos
permanently, being just slack enough to cor
respond with tlie alio wr. nee made at the back
while ribboue to tie and untie are on the front.'
The pictures are mounted on aingle cards, leav
?ng a quite wide margin of white to set them
off well. Brocade nmlte* a beautiful covering
for the portfolio; plush lightened with gold
thread is also effective and aatm sheeting with
handsome embroidery also is among the best
; materials Then comes India silk, plain or
| flowered; Japanese silk crepe or the cotton
crepe either?and finally linen or crash
painted or embroidered or both combined.'
i here are almost infinite waya to make the
coyera, according to ane'a resources and ac
quirements and the time one wishea to spend.
Ihe gold-stamped Japanese crepe ia white or
delicately colored ground might be perbapa
the beat material for effectiveness, with little
work and alight expense. Corda instead of
ribbona would look well also. If several of
theae portfolioa are desired a charming variety
might be gotten up by exercising oiie'a taste
iufflclently, and Rgain I suggest them rs pretty
and suitable Christmas presents, for it is never
too early to be thinking of the demands o'f that
season, and one is apt to be only too tardy in
one'a preparations.
KILLING HEN IN BATTLE.
It Is All Very Well by Wholesale, bat
Not In the Retail Way.
'HEN a man goea into a
battlo it is presumably with
the intention of doing aome
killing." said an ex-army officer
to a writer for The Star. "And
yet I never knew a aoldier yet
who liked to feel that he had
himself with hia own hand ac
tually alain an individual foe.
There is an intoxication in the
melee of conflict, but no man
k'ikea to feci that his own piatol
shot or bayonet thrust haa
taken away the life of a fellow
being.
"Perhaps I should acccpt from this general
atatement the typical sharpshooter, who cul
tivates an instinct of warfare that approachea
the murderous. I havo never been able to aee
how a man conld deliberately take up a station
in a tree top or rifle pit and mark down for
death, one after another, individual* whose lives
were wholly at the morcy of hi* scientific aim.
Of course, war ia alwaya savagery, but there is
an element of certainty in the abarpahooting
business that, to my notion, approaches very
near to murder.
?"I vividly recall to mind one experioncs of
my own while with a akirmiehing party at the
eecoud battle ot Bull Bun. The fight had lust
begun and a rebel scout approached without
knowing it very cloeo to the clump of trees be
hind which my little detachment was con
cealed Catching sight of ua suddenly he
wheeled hi* horse like a flash and was off. On
the spur of the moment I fired my pistol right
at him, and a second later be wheeled ia nia
saddle and fell out of it. The fight swept over
in our diroction and I saw no more for the
time being of my victim; but, though I was in
the thick of the fray for most of the time for
the next few hours, I could not gat out of mv
mind the horror of the idea that I had killed
that man Not only had I taken away hi* life,
but very likely I had made hia wife a widow
and hi* children fatherles*. That night when
we went into camp I had this oppressive feel
ing atili on my mind. when, to mv great de
light, I saw the man that I had killed, evi
dently a prisoner, sitting on the stump of a
tree with his arm in a sling.
dtar fellow.' I exclaimed with mnch
cordiality, approaching him, ?! truat that you
are not aerioualy hurt.
'Now,' replied tho confederate, drylr.
When yon fired at me my horae shied and

didn t hit me at all.'
"I do assure you I never waa more relieved in
ail my lite.

with during the war was at Chancellorsville

"I took him by the scruff of the neck?for
he was seized with a panic?and shoved him
lorward. As I did so. with my hand on his
collar, a chance bullet struck him in tho fore
head and he fell dead without a cry.
"The shock that incident gave "me I have
never entirely recovered from. I folt that I
had killed that man. The fact that I was in a
position of equal danger with himself did not
affect my moral impression as to the occur

him into the path of the bullet, and that I waa
responsible for hia death. 8uch, in one sense
was true; and yet, of course, I was not in any
just sense responsible. But I shall never cot

UNION AND NONrtNiON MEN QUIT.
Queer Sort of a Strike by Printers In an
Illinois Town.
The union printers on the daily Journals
of Monmouth. I1L, struck last Tuesday.
Ths force was about evenly divided be
tween union and non-union men. The fore
man. who was a recent acquisition to the
force, discharged a non-union man to make
room for one who belonged to the union. The
proprietor would not allow this, whereupon the
union men quit work, forcing the nou-uniou
men to go out also. Tuesday night tho uuioii
men received information that Linn. one of
tfie non-union men was going to work the next
day They immediately visited him and threat
ened to kill bun units* he left town immediately.
He was la?t seen being escorted to the depot
It is feared by some that Linn has met with
P*"y- Lebnancher, another non-uniou man
*?? ,i? W0.rk WcJu<-*Jay. When he left the
oflice the union men who were lying m wait
made for him with clubs aud brickbats, and
would haTe probably seriously injured him but
for the intervention of some outsiders, Tho

leaders of the strikers have been indicted by

THE TRAIN WRECKERS IN COURT.
Two Indicted and Two Discharged?
One to Be Rearrested at Once.
In ths Renngaelar county conrt of sessions
at Troy yesterday the grand Jury pre
sented indictments against Thomas Cain
Arthur Buett and John lteed for misplacing a
switch on the Central Hudson railroad in
East Greenbush September 4. The prisoners
*?r? arraigned and pleaded not guiitr.
Jheirteial wasMt for Tuesday noxt Julln
Cordial and Johu Kicrn.in were discharged. No
bill against them was founa. Kiernau wns im
mediately rearrested by Detective Humphrey
of the Central Hudson force and l&oberi i'ink
erten and taken to Albany county
on a charge of obstructing tho track
of the Central Hudtou railroad near
Earners August 23. Cordial left the court room
in company with several Enights of Labor
who had beeu present at the arraignment. It
is stated that the iudictmeuta were founded on
' ' ^*t,IUO"y the three men who were
ludicted. They cenfeescd to spikmg the
switch about two miles north of the
scene of the wreck ia Greenbush
but deny placing obstructions oa the tn?ck at
tne polut where the exprosn train was wreckod.
lbe reason for their pleading not guilty after
testifying as abr?ve is said to be thut it i? de
sired to have them testify in cases in Albany
county before they plead guilty to the indict
ments.
The Longest Fast oa Reoord.
Mrs. Adam Wuchter of White Hali, seven
miles from Allentown, Pa., has passed the
one hundred and sevanty-second day since
she has tasted food or drink in any
form. This is vouched for by her at
tending physicians. Thr unfortunate woman's
fast does not arise from cbctce on her
part, inasmuch as she is afflicted with a malig
nant cancer of the pharynx, which prevents
her from swallowing either solid or liquid feed,
although she craves it constantly The doctors
cannot accouut for hsr wonderful ter.aeity of
life, except that she is possessed of a phenom
enally strong constitution. Her condition is
gradually growing worse, her lower extremi
ties are cold like those of a dead petscn and
her vitality is at sn exceeding low sfch.
Ho Asked, but Did Not Reoelva.
The Rev. R D. Porter, the pastor of
ths Cross Roads Presbyterian Church near
