MAINE HISTORIANS say that over 100 years ago
wolves came down from the north and devoured
most all the deer in the colony Some of the
deer swan to the Islands along the coast and a
remnant was saved. The wolves, having no
deer to eat turned to the domestic animals of
the country, and gave the settlers great trouble
The Indians, too, robbed of their meat supply
by tue wolves were for long time IN a starving
condition, and often those in the interior went
miles 20 the seashore for food. The wolves at
length went northward. and little by little the
deer increased until 1870. when there was
another wolf raid. and for two years they played
havoc with deer and cattle Then they disap-

HAWLEY AN INVENTOR.

Two Patents From Which the Connecti.

Senator Hawley. of Connecticut, told
me the other day that he was an inven-
tor, and had taken out two patents,
from which he was receiving good
income. One of them is for q pocket
compass, and the other for leather or
rubber base or washer at the end of
cartridge. Said he:

idea crept out of me, but it proved to

urer in my town, who was telling me
of the difficulty he met with in secur-
ing the requisite amount of elasticity

moments reflection asked him why
he didn't put on piece of rubber or
leather. He looked me with u gratitied
surprise and said it was curious no or
had thought of it, but it seemed to him
to be not only the simplest but the best
thing. TWAS tried, worked like charm,
and then my friend made application for

THE PLUM CURCULiO.

How to Exterminate This Destructive and
Numerous Parasite.
There seems to be no doubt whatever

poisons paris green and London pur-

weeks after the petals fall; (3) then
after three weeks again, and (4) for
perfection, so soon as through blossom
ing, with Il weak kerosene and soap
emulsion. This (D will kill the leaf lice
(aphidm) and plant bugs (hemiptera)
that puncture the young fruit and cause
it eventually to rot. A Michi gan gen.
tleman told me that he had two large.
thrifty European plums. "They bloomed
freely each year, but the curculio laid
her eggs in nearly every plum, and all
the fruit that was not wormy rotted be-
fore ripening. Spring before last /
sprayed the trees thoroughly once with
London purple in water about two
weeks after the blossoms fell. That
season they matured so great a crop of
the finest fruit that l was obliged to
prop up all the branches. But to my
sorrow this large crop so weakened the
vitality of my trees that the next
spring both were dead. The spraying
seemed to kill nearly every curculio.
scarcely fruit showed her ovipositing
work, and the plums all ripened with
out rot" This shows two valuable les
sons: O Spraying has proven sue
cess. and (2) an overburdensome crop
is deathly, especially to a plum.
These sentiments are exactly in line
with sense, reason and experience, and
especially with our native plums; for
these fruits are the natural food plant
and breeding place of the plum curculio.
This beetle passes the winter in the
beetle state, ''holed up like wood
chuck, and emerges in the spring hum
CRY. She at once seeks her natural
food plant--these plums--on which to
feed, seemingly in preference to all
other trees. She usually reaches them
before they bloom; therefore just before
the blossoms open is the time to spray
the trees. But for some reason many
OF tho beetles do not lay their eggs in
the fruit until June; hence the necessity
of late spraying, for it is possible that
these late egg-laying beetles reach the
trees late. II the native plums are not
within her reach the beetle is forced to
accept allied plants Of the almond family
to which the plum belongs. such as the
cherry. peach, apricot, etc.. and lay hel
eggs IN their fruits. 1t is OF course
possible that the cherries. being so close
akin to the plums. they may be rs ac-
ceptable to her for food as tho plums,
but it is hardly probable. Therefore II
is entirely reasonable that II we have
plenty Of native plums in and arount
our orchards of other fruits, by
spraying the plums we will destroy
this cnrculio sufficiently for all prac'
tical purposes, and so protect all tn
other fruits from her destructive work

Japanese Sacred Nuts.

A quantity of Japanese sacred nuts,
the first ever brought to this country,
has just been received at q Broadway
fruit store. They are called sacred
from the fact that they are used in cer-
tain forms of Japanese worship. The
nuts are placed on the altar and
ignited. They burn with blush flame
and give of II peculiar odor. They are
rich in oil, and the fumes are supposed
to rise us incense to the gods. They
grow under water, have leaf like a
pond lily, and are shaped like steer 3
head, with two projecting horns. This
resemblance is so great that it is diff
cult to believe that they are not carved.
In the raw state they ara hard and
tasteless, but when cooked they have
the flavor Of boiled chestnuts. They
retain their qualities ten or fiftoer
years, and are fit for food whom ever

Tiflis, the capital of the Caucasus, il
large town situated in valley and
surrounded by mountains Of varying
heights. 1t possesses very wide, sani

row Of trees, which confer grateful
shade on the foot passengers in thi'

Some of the buildings are also very
fine, especially those connected in any
way with the Russian Government.
The most interesting portion of tn
town is the Asiatic quarter among the
booths and bazars of which stranger
meets with all kinds of strange sights
and sounds. Here are men of all ma
tions. The Georgian, Russian. Persian,
Armchair, Greek, jew, ETC., who, rush
ing to and fro through the narrow
streets. some on horseback, others rid
ing in phmtons, create n medley only to
be seen and appreciated in an Eastern
city.
The shops. or rather booths, in this
quarter, are exceedingly interesting,
containing all kinds of ancient relies,
things to delight the eye of the anti
quarry and curiosity collector. Here are
situated the famous hot sulphur baths,
renowned for their curing properties
for skin diseases of all kinds. The
waters of these baths are unadulterated,
running directly from the spring into
the bath ready for use.
Not the least quaint is the Georgian
costume which, although uncuoth and
wild, is very picturesque. 1t is COM

the shape of very large cape, which

weapons, although worn exclusively for
ornaments, are very real. and consist

sheath of which is also embossed. and

 Two of New Haven's polo players have ar rived-Vaillant and Nswcomb Both are registered at the Selden. They are looking well and say they are in excellent form. They will work their hardest to bring the championship to New Haven. The remain der of the players will report today.
 Valiant has presented Theodore NcDonal6 with a handsome pup dog.
 Manager Harris of Bridgeport says that the polo team he has in view for the coming sea-. son is: Parsons, first rush; Pierce, second rush; Turnbull, center; Mckay, half back !; Smith, goal. Pierce, Parsons, Smith and Mckay will, he says, certainly go there, but Turnbull's signing is not certain, but he will work zealously to secure him.
 There is yet complication in Hartford. The Amusement Company has circulated petition asking for the use of the armory General Olmstead. As it looks now Hart ford will still see polo played in the First regiment srmory.
 Charlie Downes declared when the season ended last year that he would never again manage polo team. Yet he is back again and it is 6 good thing for New Haven.-Mer- iden Journal.
 The Republican of Springfield is trying to throw cold water on polo in that city, and calls it played out sport. This tickles the Union as it is giving all the polo news and therefore the polo organ of that city.
 The interstate league has taken the uni form question into it's own hands and there will be no more trouble over teams having the same colored uniforms. Meriden will have black, New Haven blue, Hartford ma room, Bridgeport gray and Springfield red and black striped.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It is understood from good authority that large number of gentlemen of sporting pro clivities in other cities are about to send in propositions for membership of the Ananias club of Boston, which club recently elected Professor Wiggins of Ottawa, Canada, of weather prophet fame, an honorary member. Correspondence will be held with the officers and members of the club relative to starting branch organization here, taking charter from the parent association at the Hub, and to be known as the Grand Lodge of Fabrica- tors. It is thought thst enough members can be obtained to make g respectable show ing here, hence petition for the charter. It is not at all unlikely that large number of lodges will also make application tor mem- bership and this State will be the banner State for one so small.

The legislative repre- sentation (though in the off year of 1885 it was Republican, has been shifted from and even Democratic majority to 1 Republican majority. In the Congress vote, beginning with 1882, the Republicans have only carried rality in the county. This year MT.
