TURKEY AND PARTRIDGE NESTS Owner of tbeTurtaex Fouad Them kit ting on a Neat of t-.gira. A pwullar and uupree* leu ted friend ship ba« been found to exist between a turkey and a partridge near Monti cello, N. Y.

The queen of the flock Is an especially One specimen, and baa always proved a perfect domestic mod el, but for a week past abe baa l»een acting strangely, leaving home In the morning and not returning until late In the afternoon. Affairs grew gradually worse and Anally reached the climax when she did not return home at night. Mr. Cooney, noticing tbe absence of his prize turkey, organized a search ing party composed of himself and Pat rick Callery, and started out to search the woods. The search had progressed for some time when they discovered the missing turkey and by Its side was a large partridge. Tbe two were cov ering a large nest and seemed perfect ly contented. They were scared off. and thirteen partridge egg« and nearly as many turkey eggs were found In tbe nest. If tbe partnership between the turkey and partridge continues to be agree able.

Tbe Speers syatem of Imparting uae- ful knowledge to tbe young, aa exem plified In Chicago, la not a novel one. With modification* It la tbe same eye- tern uaed In training performing mon- keya and dogs. Tbe learned pig gets bls education by tbe Speers method, and so the syatem may Justly claim to be well grounded. In the Speers system aa prepared for the little blpeda of Chicago, the teach er points out on the Speers chart th* word “hop." Then the teacher bops and The next word la the children hop. "skip,” and the teacher «kips and the children skip. If the next word 1« "grin." they all grin. If It la "wink" they all wink, It I* fun a« well as profit, you see especially for the teach er. When It reaches "flip-flap" and "summersault” It becomes more so. "What la that word, George?" says the fond Chicago father to his bright offspring. "Pronounce It for me, daddy," says the bright offspring. " 'Reverse,' " replies daddy. “Ah, I know,” cries Master George, and at once stands on his head. It certainly is a nice system. Thread Feed in Hurgery. Tb* modern surgeon employs In bls work dozens of different kinds of thread for sewing up cuts and wounds. Among them are kangaroo tendons, horsehair, silk and very line sliver wire. Many of the«* threads are In tended to hold for a certain number of days and then naturally break away The short, tough tendons taken from the kangaroo, which are used for sew ing severe wounds, will hold for about four weeks liefore they break away Silk thread will remain much longer, sometimes six months, while the fine silver wire la practically Indestructible. With the entire outfit a surgeon Is able to select a thread that will last as long as tbe wound takes to heal and will then disappear completely. To accommodate thia assortment of threads special varieties of needles are required. Besides the needle craned In different segments of a cir cle, surgeons use needlee shaped like spears. Javelins and bayonet points. Home are as long as bodkina, in a point like a miniature knife blade. Others have the sharpened end triangular. ••Phih<»to«nyrrh" Bpelle “Turner." lie walked up to the hotel register and signed his name with a flourish, "E. K. Phtholognyrrh.” "Iax>k her*.

Washington, Oct. 18.—The esti mates for the navy for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, were made pub lic at the navy department today. The total amount was *98,910,984, against *77,924,5X5 appropriated for the current year. The current in creases are *2,500,000 for construc tion. *2,000,000 for armor, and *129,- 155 in the appropriation for yards and docks. Secretary Long, in speaking of the estimates, said that they were made with a due regard for tbe needs of the navy, and intimated that they had the approval of the administration. He spoke of the increased cost of the navy, and said that the building of a battleship costing *5.000,000 was not the end of its expense, as its main- tainance was very costly. Those estimates, be said, did not cover any recommendations for increase of the navy over that already authorized, but it is more than likely that the secretary will recommend three new battleships and two armored cruis ers, and a number of small gunboats. The secretary asks for *904,000 for public works at the puget Sound navy yard, *161,500 less than a year ago. Naw Canal Treaty.
