Pheasant Rearing In England.
The “He |. bam Game Book,” one of the most intercsting shooting records in the world, shows that in the year 1800 no more than 355 pheasants were killed during the whole season upon Lord Leicester’s famows sporting estate. Pheasants rapidly grew in favar, how- ‘ever, as the preseatt century advanced, so ‘that by 1845 a bag of 1,000 head of these birds in a single-day's shooting could be recorded, whileabout 40 years later, in 1883, on a well known northern estate —Lord Seften's-no less than 6,036 Lead of pheasants were aceaunted for in four days’ Novemiber shooting. The best of these four days yielded 2,373 pheas- ants, while ‘in addition to this immense number of pheasants about 1,600 head of other game-were picked up during the week.
In 1896, upon this same estate of
Croxteth, 7,099 pheagazfts were bagged during four days’ sho ting, besides other game. Since the year 'b860 the demands of pheasant shooters ami preservers have resulted in the development of a highly scientiftc industry, which now occupies thousands of hands in different parts of the eountry and undombtedly circulates a great deal of money in rural districts. The ‘late _Maharajak Dhuleep Singhs ‘estate at Elevedon was one of the pic- neers ‘Of ‘these sporting industries. In these establishments the art of reariag -imreduced almost to an exact science— ‘Saturday Review.
Days of the Carling Stick.
‘**Fashions change,’’ said Mr. Gray- “top. ‘‘ When. Iwasa boy, it was a com- rmon thing for children to wear their hair in ringlets and curls, and many young women amd éider ladies, too, wore their bair:in tire-same fashion. If ‘the hair curled _naturally,!little needed ‘to be done. to it, but: to cut! iit around ‘something and brush -it,.anid tthen it ‘would stay curled. For this purpese a
“The curling stick -was perhaps a foot in length, having a handle, and ta- pering slightly at the other end,. so that it might the more easily be withdrawn from the curl. if the curling: stick.was lost or mislaid,:a hoop. stick.would do, and many a mether, with a loving heart, has twined her children’s curls around a finger and :brushed them smooth upon it,.and then. having. care- fully withdrawn the ‘finger, pulled .the curl out to the desired length.
“And sdtnetimes the curl was: made by setting the teeth of a comb inthe hair and then turning the comb around and around and down and out at. the end of the curl. But.curls are seldom seen nowadays, and the curling stick is Practically a thing of the past.’’—Bx- ‘change.
Henry George as a Financier.
The panic year of 1893 gave him an ‘Opportunity to apply in practice his financial] theories.and to illustrate hap pily for his friends the,iniquity.of pri- ‘vate ownership of land, and public fran- ‘chises. The proprietors of some large ‘Manufactories in # small town were about to shut down, as money was not to be had. Thiswould have thrown Many men out of employment and lost | to a proportion of them their homes, | partly paid for. Om the advice of Mr.
orge the employers deposited govern- "ent bonds, securities resting on the’ G0ed faith of the government, with a New York trust company. The latter then issued ce rtifigates against these
in denominatiens.of from $1 to #20. The men accepted the certificates 48 hates for their wages; the znerchants of the place took them as notes for their Six $20,000 blacks.of these cer- tificates were issued and went into cir- elation, the factories were kept going, Bobody lost, and Mr. George claimed a ‘rium ph for fiat money.—Frem ‘‘ Henry ge, Character Sketch,” by Arthur cEwen, in American Mouthly Review Vie Wwe.
