The male quail, or "Bob White," deserves honorable mention among gallinaceous birds because he is par ticularly Rood to his wife He alwavs helps her to hatch her eggs, and if anytning keeps her away will take the whole duty on himself.' This is par ticularly attested by a writer quoted by Capt. Pendire in his "Life Histor ies of North American Birds. He says: "In June, 1 886, while I was on a visit to Dr. J. M. Tickett, of Cedarville, Ala., he informed me of having seen a male Bob White incu bating. He had visited the nest at various times on different days, and always found the male bird on the nest. Wishing to be an eye-witness of so interesting a sight, I rode several miles with the doctor to the nest. There we found Bob White faithfully warming his treasures, but not into life ; the eggs were never hatched. Dr. Pickett frequently went to the nest until long after the period of in cubation had elapsed, and finding that the eggs would not hatch, he de stroyed them, to prevent the useless occupation of the nest by the male. The female had probably been dead some hours before the male found the nest deserted ; hence the e$gs cooled j and would not hatch." A Btracge Lake in Africa. Lake Assal, one of the finest salt lakes in the world, in the district of Obock. East Africa, only a few miles from the head of the Bay of Tadjouiah has been bought by Mr. Chefneux from the French government. All along the edge of the lake, which com prises only sixteen square miles, is a bed of nearly pure salt about a foot in thickness. The water of the lake is so surcharged with salt that it is im possible to sink in it. The bottom is apparently a bed of solid salt. The heavy waters lave trie base of jagged and precipitous mountains which descend to the edge of the lake, mak ing it almost impossible to travel around it. Mr. Chefneux will probab ly carry on his work by floating ma chinery on the lake and dredging in the salt bed at its bottom. Governor Pattison has issued a pardon to E. P. Wilkinson, of Wilkes barre, convicted in Luzerne county in June.iSSa, of murder in the second de gree and sentenced to five years in the Eastern penitentiary. Wilkinson had served four years in the army when a mere boy and was alwavs a reputable citizen. Pora number of years he was an ardent worker in the temper ance cause and was most active in his opposition to granting licenses in that section of the city ot Wilkesbarre in which he resided. In March, 1S89, he attended the inauguration of Presi dent Harrison as a member of the National Guaid. While there he got drunk and continued in occasional in dulgence of liquor. On April 29, 1889, while going home drunk he was teased by a number of young men, and drawing his revolver he shot and killed Thomas Gall.-.gher, aged nine teen yeats. He was convicted of mur der in the second degree and sentenc ed to five years' imprisonment. His term would have expired in Septem ber and the pardon board believes he has been sufficiently punished. The reputation of being a good fellow never helped a man at a bank. Paradoiical as it may seem, it is always to a man's credit to pay cash. It ought to give promise of rest to a standing army to be ordered to the seat of war. Some limbs of the law never bracch out. A "fine"1 writerThe clerk of a court Another Letter to Women. May 25, '92, Syracuse, N. Y " Dear Madam : " I want to tell you what your Vegetable Compound and San ative Wash have done for me.
