The Game Laws.


It is high time that some other interest be-
sides ring, composed of half hundred
| sportsmen, had say regarding the game
| laws of this state. Game is something in
which all are interested, and any law on the
subject should serve all alike. The present
Legislature will be asked to repeal all laws
and provisions and substitute the follow
| ing -
Any keeper of hotel restaurant or board
inghouse who substitutes mutton for turtle
in making turtle soup shall be fined not less
than $50, and in default of payment shall
stand committed to the cooler for the term
of thirty days.
Any public eating house keeper who adver-
tlses quail on toast, and then substitutes ham
on biscuit, shall be deemed guilty of misde-
meanor and punished by a fine of not less
than $25.
ID shall not be lawful for more tnan five
men to pursue the track of one poor, lone
rabbit with evil intent.
Any duck-hunter who buys birds and passes
them off on the boys as having been killed by
himself shall be deemed guilty of piracy, and
punished accordingly.
Any person or persons discovered captur-
ing deer or elk by means of pound nets or
seines shall be liable to fine of not less than
$25 nor more than $50.
Ii a fox, on being routed from cover and
pursued, takes refuge under a ol-house,
it shall be lawful for the teacher to dismiss
the school and lend his assistance in the

That section of the amended law of 1879
requiring all persons to give coons 400 feet
the start before pursuing with intent to kill
is hereby repealed.
Any person or persons firing over 20 con-
secutive shots into a flock of decoy ducks

Is Lager Unhealthy /!

''The fact can no longer be disguised. u
said prominent physician yesterday " that
the largely increasing use of beer and NAL:
liquors is materially augmenting our business
by reason of the patients who are being pros
trated by kidney and liver complaints. Ever
since 1853, when alcoholic drinks were rec
commended by continental physicians as
healthful and economical, and, when a few
years later this theory was adopted by the
regular school in this country, medical prac-
titioners have prescribed. ad hbitum, that
which to-day either denounce as one of the
chief causes of bodily ills, or else
prescribe with care and discretion
Until recently the general use of malt
liquors by the masses has, in this coun-
try, been little less than an experiment. The
claim that was made by foreign physicians
twenty five years ago that NO man was SO
poor as to warrant his abstaiq63g from afco-
holic beverages is now, afte1Fa long trial, re-
garded as fallacy. The argument then ad-
vanced and adopted by all medical schools
was that alcohol in the system had tendency
to conserve and prevent the disinteeration of
the tissues, and the world has just awakened
to the startling fact that whereas, ere the era
of lager beer dawned on America, BriQht's
disease and its consequent evils were almost
unknown, the victims of these maladies can
today be reckoned by hundreds of thou
sands. Pneumonia, that dread agent of the
grim destroyer, is, in large number of
cases, due to the continued existence of
Brioht's disease''

An Old Time Trade.

lfrOm Lne new 1Ork GIhpQlC
In the good old times when money was
scarce in the great west, the people did much
of their business by barter. The farmers
would bring to the village merchant butter,
cheese, eggs and other produce and exchange
them for such store goods they wanted, on
principles of equity and mutual accommoda-
ton. 1t was the good and commendable
practice for the merchant, after the trade
was over to treat his customers to drink
of native whisky by way of ratification
somewhat as the great powers do in respect
of treaty. One day there came into the
store of certain merchant in an Indiana
village man bearing in his hand an egg,
which he told the dealer he wished to ex-
change for ''darn good darning needle.'
''All right" said the storekeeper, "here's the
darn .needles; take your choice of them"
The customer was particular. and turned over
the merchants entire stock of darning need
les several times in order to pick out the
best specimen it contained. He was suited
at last, and then he thought him of the usual
treat, Suppose you re goin' to treat on the
trade. of course ?' he said, suggestively.
''Of course" replied the merchant, although
it did occur to him that the trade was a
small one to seal with drink. Still, rule
was q rule and he didn't finch-outwardly
'What'l you. take?'' he asked: "Well,
seein IFS you, I don't care if take glass of
your best whiskey with an egg in it. j" ''All
right, and here's your own egg, all ready for
the purpose; Pn use that" answered the
local king of dry goods and groceries. He
poured the whisky Into the tumbler, and on
breaking the egg, behold it had two yolks.
Both men saw it at once, and the customer
shouted in the tone of an injured man ''See
here, that egg is double I must have another
darn needle before I drink. Business is
business, and ye can't fool me. - The addi-
tional needle was handed over, the whiskey
with the double yolked egg in it swallowed,
that he had made snug bargain. The store
keeper scratched his head and reckoned up
his profits on the deal. ''There goes that
fellow" /" he said, sswith two darn needles, the
egg he brought to pay for one needle with
and stiff glass of my best whisky. How

Edward Rosier-Ned Roster, as he was
called-was native of New York and had
been brought up in Paris, living there under
the eye of his father who, az it happened,
had been an old and intimate friend of the
late Mr.. Archer. Edward Roster remembered
Isabel as little girl; it had been his father
who came to the rescue of the little Archers
at the inn at Neufchatel Che was travelling
that way with the boy, and stopped at the
hotel by chancel, after their bonne had gone
off with the Russian prince, and when Mr..
Archer's whereabouts remained for some
days mystery. Isabel remembered per-
fectly the neat little male child, whose hair
smelt of delicious cosmetic, and who had q
bonne of his own warranted to lose sight of
him under no provocation. Isabel took a
walk with the pair beside the lake, and
thought little Edward as pretty as an angel
"a comparison by no means conventional in
her mind, for she had very definite con-
ception of type of features which she sup
posed to be angelic, and which her new friend
perfectly illustrated. A small pink face sur
mounted by blue velvet bonnet, and set off
by stiff embroidered collar, became the
countenance of her childish dreams and she
firmly believed for some time afterward that
the heavenly hosts conversed among them
selves in queer little dialect of French
English, expressing the properest sentiment,
as when Edward told her that he was t'de-
Tended" by his bonne to go near the edge of
the lake, and that one must always obey to
ones bonne. Ned Rosters English had i'm
proved; at least, it exhibited in a less degree
the French variation. His father was dead
and his honne was dismissed, but the young
man still conformed to their teaching,-he
never went to the edge of the lake. There was
still something agreeable to the nostrl about
him, and something not offensive to nobler
organs He was very gentle and gracious
youth, with what are called cultivated tastes,
AN acquaintance with old china, with good
wine, with the bindings of books, with the
Almanach de Gotha, with the best shops, the
best hotels, the hours of railway trains He
could order dinner almost well as Mr.
Luce, and it was probable that as his expe-
rience accumulated he would be a worthy sue
cessor to that gentleman, whose rather grim
politics he also advocated in a soft and inno-
cent voice. He had some charming rooms in
