Killing Deer with Axe5,

a correspondent gives an account Of
| deer III the forests OF Mulne and the laws
OF that State to protect them. A number
| Of years since law was passed forbIdding
the killing of moose, deer or cars!bou be-
| tween the Gre: 0: Fooruary and first oi
| October, and forbidding the hunting of
| them with dogs at any season. under q
penalty of $40 TOR EACH offence, But this
law did not protect the game. In the
deep euows of January hunters from dist
ant States, as well as those in Maine,
| killed thousands of the animals in the deep
SHOWS, in many cases using only axes for
killing them as they drove them into the
deep snow-banks, the hunters going on
snow shoes. In 1873 the legislature for.
bade the hunting or killing OF the animals
IN January, as we'll as IN all the following
months to October. After this the deer
increased rapidly, and at times thev even
mingled with the herds Of farmers- The
lumbermen could kill enough for their
own use without going great distance
from their cabin doors. In few years
these laws were disregardod, and hunters
| came into the forests in the winter and
slaughtered thousands and sent their car
casses to the Boston aud other distant
markets. In 1876 the Legislature made a
law imposing Q fine Of $40 for each car
| cass Sr hide sent out of tho state. This
law served a good purpose in protecting
thea game, though it, may be questioned
whether IL was not.a stretch OF legislative
power in interdicting commerce between
the States. However, IN 1873 Influences
were brought to bear which secured a re.
peal OF the law forbiddlng the expectation
| OF carcasses and hides, and since then the
deer, caribou and moose have been grow
ing scarce, and the subject of making
more stringent laws to project them is dis.
cusscd. AS the work OF destruction Is
now gong on. not only the larger wild
game but the forests of this country will
disappear in a comparatively brief period.

Pottery.

Modelling pottery is as delightful au
occupation as making mud pies. The
student, with board on her lap Or on
o table, takes up a lump OF clay and
kneads it to proper consistency with
water. With a little leaf.shaped wooden
knife she carves out a rose, and as each
petal is shaped she takes a camel s HAIR
brush and paints the whole flower, or
rather what she call slips that is, water
made the thickness Of cream with clay.
Iron pins are used for yeihing tho
leaves. and each bud is copied from
the natural object placed before the
artist During all these processes the
vase or article to be be decorated must
be kept moist. II At is too wet twill
melt away into clay if too dry, !, II will
crack and break in the firing, and when
Eat last all the ornaments are attached,
they are painted in natural colors, and

teemurkaDle Hands at Poker.

Fonr members Of well-known club
in New York sat down to game of
poker. There was dollar limit, and
there was no desire on the part of my
of the players to win much money. After
one deal three of them drew one card
each, except the dealer, who passed out.
The man on the left of the age bet one
dollar, the second man raised him one
dollar, and the age raised the pot an
other dollar. This was followed by
raises to tho limit oil around second
time, when the man who made the first
bet said:
"Gentlemen, [ ought TO raise the bet,
but this is sociable game, and I'll not
crowd you. I will simply GALL"
Without waiting for the others to bet
he laid face upward on the table the
deuce, tray, four and five of spades.
The fifth card he placed back upper
most.
The second MN said. 1T feel the same
about this matter, will simply CALL"
He then showed tho deuce, tray, fur
and five of diamonds, hiding the fifth
card.
"I also CALL" SAID the age, and he
displayed the deuce, tray, four and fl 70
of clubs. The fifth card of each was
then shown, and 1t was seen that each
had straight flush Of the same value.
The pot was divided.
It was O. square game, and the hands
were not fixed.

Why AIysterious Physical Troubles Arouse
special Drend--A Professional Experience.
Few things give more pain than dread or
apprehension. Most people are able TO face
apparent danger heroically, but the sudden
and unexpected coming of some indefinite
calamity very naturally strikes terror to
even the bravest. For this reason Ii lightning
and tornadoes are considered terrible; their
coming and going are so sudden, unan-
nounced and unknown. For this same reason
an unknown disease, some poison in the
blood, some malady that is gradually under
mining the life, is specially dreaded by all
thinking people. And indeed, there are
good reasons for such dread, for modern
science has discovered that some virulent
disorders show the least signs in their be-
ginnings, while they have the worst possible
symptoms We know of many persons who
have dull and uncertain pains in various por-
tlons OF the body; VINO are unnaturaly tired
one day and apparently well the next; who
nave an enormous appetite at times
and loathing of food soon there
after. Such persons are really in a
dangerous condition, even though they
may not realize it. The following state
ment OF a most prominent physician, who
has had unusual opportunities for investiga- |
1on,ls OF so striking and important a nature I
Ihat 1t Will be read with interest by all:

The Treatment for a Cold.

The Monthly Magazine Nondon) re-
) ports DR. Graham as saying that it is not
a correct practice, after cold is caught,
to make the room a person sits in much
warmer than usual, to increase the guam
tity Of bed clothes, wrap up in flannel,
and drink a large quantity of hot tea,
cruel, or other slOps, because it will in
variably increase the feverishness, and,
in the majority of instances, prolong
rather than lessen the duration of the
cold. 1t is well known that confning
inoculated persons in warm rooms will
make their smallpox more violent by
augmenting the general heat and fever
and it is for the same reason that a SINH
lar practice in the present complaint is
attended with analogous results, a cold
being in reality a slight fever. In some
parts of England, among the lower order
of the people, large glass ofcold spring
water, taken on going to bed, is found to
be a successful remedy, and in fact many
medical practitioners recommend a re-
duced atmosphere and frequent draughts |
of cold fluid as the most efficacious rem
edy for a recent cold, particularly when
the patients habit is full and plethoric.
DIR. Graham further says:
1t Is generally supposed that it is the
exposure to a cold or wet atmosphere
which produces the effect called cold,
whereas it is returning to a warm tenn
peratUlre after exposure which is the real
cause Of the evil When person in the
cold weather goes into the open air,
every time he draws III his breath the
cold air passes through his nostrils and
windpipe into the lungs, and, conse-
quently, diminishes the heat i'll these
parts. As long as the person continues
in the cold air he feels no bad effects
from it but as soon as he returns home,
he approaches the fire to warm himself.
and very often takes some warm and {
drink to keep out the cold. {
Is it is said. The inevitable consequence :
S, that he will find that he has taken :
old. He feels a shivering which makes
lin draw nearer the fire, but all to no a
purpose; the more he tries to heat him a
elf, the more he chills. All the mischief :, 3

he heat. Il Il
To avoid this when you come out of a Il
cry cold atmosphere, you should not at 81
rst go into a room that has fire in it, !;
r if you cannot avoid that, you should h,
eep for considerable time at as great NJ
distance as possible, and, above all, hi
'frain from taking warm or strong IL d
