A paad.LattAr Game LAW.

A story of quail comes from
California which will be incredible
to sportsmen and especially foBlers
hereaway. There is 8 game law in
California, as in other states, pro-
tecting food-birds and beasts from
the assaults of murderous men out
Of season, but according to q late
wall of woe from Apex, San Diego
county, the quail of that region are
absolutely eating up the crops and
substance of the farmers. They at
tack wheat fields, corn fields and
vineyards in focks of thousands,
and viii not be driven of like other
chicken-hearted birds. Shooting
and clubbing and scarecrows are of
no avail, and to save themselves
enough to eat, the Apex farmers
have to resort to trapping, poison
ing and shooting in defiance of the
game law. This is an instance of
what is good law and good morals
in obeying it in one section is not
good for another. The ravenous
quail of San Diego begin their raw
ages upon the wheat as soon as it

Increased Cost Of Living.

The increased cost of living falls
heavily upon the poorer classes, and
upon the great middle class, made
up Of people whose incomes from
wages, salaries or the profits :of
small retail business cannot be ad
justed to meet the heavier bills at
the butchers and grocer's. There
is no relief unless it be in the prac-
tice of more stringent household
economies. The problem of living
in the city with a tolerable degree of
comfort is a puzzling one at all
times for people of narrow means,
but it is nevertheless true that, tried
by French and German standards,
few American families could escape
the charge of wastefulness and eX-
travagance. Greater economy in
buying and greater care to avoid the
waste of food in the kitchen and
larder will 60 far toward compensat-
ing for the increased cost Of provis-
