Nursing vs Dosing. 
A Treatise on the Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”)* Author of “Train¬ 
ing vs. Breaking.” 1G1 pages. Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Ilammond believes that more dogs are killed by 
injudicious doctoring than by disease, and the present 
work is a protest against the too free use of medicine 
when dogs arc sick. The author has given especial atten¬ 
tion to many of the troubles which especially afflict small 
dogs kept in the house, and likely to suffer from lack of 
exercise and from over-feeding; and boys and girls 
owning dogs—as well as children of larger growth —may 
profitably study and ponder this volume.

Sam Lovel’s Boy. 
, By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

The present popularity of driving has done 
more for the welfare of the red-legged par¬ 
tridge than anything else ever did in this 
country. Instead of being regarded as a nui¬ 
sance, the bird is now encouraged, for the old 
idea as to its being bad friends with the Eng¬ 
lishman is quite exploded. As a driven bird, 
the Frenchman would be hard to beat. He 
(lies at a tremendous pace; is not so much 
given to swerving as the gray partridge when 
arriving in sight of the guns, and instead of 
coming “all in a bunch,” as English birds so 
frequently do, French . partridges are apt to 
spread and string, but as they fly toward the 
guns, thereby providing a chance of shooting 
for several of the party, and enabling one to 
get in two, or perhaps three, barrels before 
the covey is out of sight. 
It is only the last act, when it comes to the 
question of the pot' that the French bird is 
found to be inferior to the English. On the 
table there is no comparison between the pair, 
and a really old cock Frenchman requires very 
deft handling in the kitchen if he is to become 
even eatable. 
According to that eminent authority, the Rev. 
W. B. Daniels, author of “Rural Sports,” the 
red-legged partridge was introduced to this 
country so far back as the time of Charles II., 
when “several pairs were turned out about 
Windsor to obtain a stock.” But the experi¬ 
ment appears to have failed, for the birds, al¬ 
though they were seen at intervals during the 
next three or four years, ultimately disappeared. 
No further attempt to naturalize the “red leg” 
seems to have been made until about the middle 
of the eighteenth century, when the then Duke 
of Northumberland is stated to have “preserved 
many in hopes of their increasing upon then- 
manors.” 
This experiment also seems to have been a 
failure, for no more was heard of the bird until 
some years later the Earl of Rochford and the 
Marquis of Hertford decided to make an ex¬ 
haustive trial of the red leg as a sporting bird. 
Some say (hat Lord Rendlesham also had a share 
in this undertaking, but at any rate the experi¬ 
ment was conducted in the most suitable of 
places — Suffolk — and certainly met with good 
success. Large quantities of “red legs” were 
brought over from France and the Channel 
Islands and turned down, hut whether these 
birds were actually responsible for the estab¬ 
lishment of the British race of French par¬ 
tridges is doubtful.—London Globe.

BARREN CHINA. 
This level country is entirely denuded of 
timber, and is as bare of trees as the American 
prairies. Enormous areas of the mountain 
country in North China have had all timber 
removed, with very unfortunate results upon the 
climate.—Consul-General Samuel S. Knaben- 
•shue, Tientsin.
