Apropos Of the game law recently
passed in Vermont correspondent
writes
although your correspondent, a
VermJuter, talks rather strong in
Forest and Scream Of this week, can
not help sympathizing with him to
some extent. Undoubtedly every land
owner in Vermont has legal right to
recover damages, nominal, at least, OF
every man who cutters on bis land with.
out permission from the owner But
is it worth while for the people Of Yer.
mont to undertake to enforce any such
right against each other or against
visitors from other States when the
persons against whom the right is en-
forced are guilty Of nothing worse than
wandering down mountain brook and
whipping few trout out Of it I And
was it worth lille to enact a special
!
statute for the purpose Of enhancing
the amount Of damages to be recovered
in any such cascY
Vermonter' is clearly right in
saying that such law will be general
4 ly disregarded. The yermonters are
a stubborn set OF Yankees, many OF them
are very fond of trout fishing land
they cannot be held back from the
exercise of what they regard as their
inaliepable right to fish their streams
by any such law, especially when they
feel, as 'Vermontcr' does, that the law
has been imposed upon them by class
that assume to look down upon the
common people. For my own part
prefer to obey the law | have spent
great many summers in Vermont.

there believe that none of my good
friends there have complained that !

money which they have richly carried

self annoyed 10 my sport by the law Ia

Vermont with most sincere regret,

without making myselfa criminal.
Honest anglers obey the laws
Many honest anglers frequent Vernon
who will stay way from that beautifu
State if they cannot practice their in
nocent art without violating the law
1t seems to me. therefore, that til,
legislation in question will practically
do no good, while il msy DO mucl
harm.
'Vermonter' hits the bulIscy,
when he declares that the trse policy
OF Vermont is to enact some suitabl,
law, and spend some little money, 70

81 have just been reading an address
delivered by the Hon, f. j. Phelps, at

begins his address by asking, f0f

If in preserving the game we do any
thing which would tend to make an

which would to make the poor man

would tend to encourage eternal Law

One of the most interesting insects

lounge on the peach-tree leaf is the man

dous knees his head, which must be
confusion to all phrenologists, are worth
hours of inspection. His skill in fly.
catching would delight the boys if they
were to watch him. He reaches for a fly
with his torelegs, and takes it up SO
naturally that poor Floppy seems really
to belong to him-to have dropped out of
his pocket, as it were, at some time previ-
Gus. He takes the fly between his knees,
turns it upon its back applies, himself to
its throat, and then all is up with Floppy.
Sometimes when those watching him
make a noise, he will turn his head to-
ward them suddenly, with a look that
seems to express the greatest astonish-
ment, aud to show them that he is aston

takes his loss very philosophically, pro-
ceeding to clean his chops after the man
ner of a cat, rubbing his big knees yer
his face, and moving his head precisely as
pussy does hers. The cat, the househy
and the mantis very much resemble each
other in their toilets. After the mantis
has thus cleaned himself, he moves on,
and in a few minutes is helping himself
to more flies, just as il he hadn't washed

The Buddhist religion is the one most
extensively accepted in the world, hav-
ing in round numbers, $40, 900, 900 adhe-
rents. There are not more Roman Cath
olics in the world than people of other
religious classes. The total number of

ChiIdren's Books.

One great fault of children's books as a
class is that they are about children.
Heroes and herpines not yetin their teens
run their important careers, they are
martyrs, Denetactors, geniuses, wronged
and blighted beings shining forth at last
IN a blaze of recognized virtue-or per-
haps they are villains who do their exer.
cises with the help of asurreptitious crib,
and bully their immaculate schoolfellow
but at all events they are personages.
Little boys and girls ought not to re-
gard themselves, as these stories teach
them so to do, as possible personages.
nor should they be set Analysing their
own characters and, as it were, watching
themselves grow. They should be left
to the happy humility of unspoiled chill.

worth thinking about, and who postpone
