Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-01-11

By the time we had put our paper to press last evening the weather aspects un- derwent a change, upsetting all our calcu- lations. The snow that in the forenoon seemed determined to stay had to yield to warm winter sun; the thaw was great in exposed places; but still there is enough of the white coating left to make sleighing pleasant; and still enough of cold and dreariness in the dwellings of the poor to keep our suggestions in the matter of re- lief in full force and effect. These are ''pet days" as they are called in the old country, and do not warrant the expecta- tion that the Springtime has come prema- turely. We have all the rigors of winter yet before us; and it is we'll to be prepared for them in look ahead for home com forts and in some regard to external char ities.

FERRETs FOR NEW ZEALAND.

The Little Animals Needed on Account |
 of the Rabbit Pest-Another Order.
 MT. Cross, the we'll known naturalist of Liverpool, who is up in Lapdon looking after the gorilla that he has just sold to the 'Zoo," paid a call to Northumberland street the other day to report on the animal kingdom, of which he is undisputed lord.
 ''The last new thing" said MT: Cross, ''is the sailing of the ferrets; 12O of them have just gone off, and with them 750 pigeons, 10 sacks of biscuits and 375 tins of Nestle's milk. I bought the milk for them myself"
 ''But what are the pigeons fors"
 sThat l will explain to you. Tie ferrets are for the rabbits and the pigeons are for the ferrets. They will eat up the 750 pigeons on their voyage to New Zealand. They will also consume the biscuits and the milk. Then I have sent sacks upon sacks of hay to make bedding for the ferrets, and plenty of Indian corn to feed up the pigeons. It was quite sight; four big carts and two whole railway trucks were taken up with this consignment. Two men accompanied the ferrets, and very hard work they have looking after both them and the pigeons. But then, as told them, the further they get from England the fewer pigeons there will be from day to day"
 "And what are the ferrets sailing for?"
 N'They are consignment to large wool farmer in New Zealand. The rabbit pest, as you know, has now broken out very bad there. The Australians, see, are going to have a rabbit pest conference: but this New Zealand wool merchant thought he had bet ter send to MT. Cross, and MT. Cross is going to send him 12O ferrets. They won't make much headway, you say, against the rabbits. But then they breed so fast, and if none of them are lost on the voyage, in a few months time my client ought to have six or seven hundred of them at least. Don't spare the expense he said to me. The rabbits are eat ing up all the pasture on which his sheep ought to be feeding, and unless he can get them under he will be ruined man. By the next mail am going to send the same GUS toner consignment of stoats and weasels They are wonderfully tongh customers, are stoats; they will bleed the rabbits to death in no time.
 Cautiously enough" added Mr. Cross, "at the very same time that received these or ders for means of destroying the rabbits in New Zealand I received also large order for rabbits, and I am now hard at work get ting together 2,00O of them as quickly as I can. They are going to British Columbia, where they have not got any rabbits. am sending 2,000 of them-1, 800 does and 500
 bucks This is pretty large business also.
 They will want hundred sacks of oats at least for the voyage, besides plenty of hay straw and sawdust. '-Pan Mall Gazette

on the claims of the Democracy on the gratitude of the workers.

WE have received several letters on the subject of the long talked of public hospi- tai for the city; some urging house to house collection; others, the appointment of district committees; and all endorsing our suggestion, made the other day, that the Mayor should call an aggregate meeting of citizens of all creeds and classes, to push on the good work We yesterday witnessed a case which in an especial degree enforced the needs of such an institution. Three or four weeks ago we noticed the perform ance of novel surgical operation, by our neighbor, Dr Pitkin, for congenital deform- ity of boys foot. It was bad case of what is known as club foot The patient, Henry Dunne, had for his seven years of life, endured all the inconvenience of the affliction. Dr Pitkin undertook the deli cate treatment, snd by what is styled s'heroic" operation, severed contracted tendon, brought the deformity into some thing of natural shape, and encased the foot and ankle joint in plaster of paris. Yesterday the hardened encasing was talk en off: and, save for 6 small swelling, the l foot presented normal appearance and the brave little boy felt happy. The band ages were removed and Dr Pitkin is confi- dent that two weeks more will enable his patient to move about freely. Hospital accommodations in this matter would have doubtless hastened the cure, and
 besides there would have been the advan- tage of clinical experience for students
 and younger members of the profession
 Dr Pitkin's success is deemed by the facul
 ty as simply wonderful.

Siberian Travellers Investigations.
 MT. George Kennan, the Siberian traveller and writer, has been black listed by the Rus sian government, and will not be permitted to re-enter the czars doninions 1T ex- pected, of course" says MT. Kennan, ssto be put on the Russian black list I am only thankful that succeeded in crossing the frontier with all of my material and papers coming this way. The outside of the Rus sian frontier is good enough side for me at present. l became satisfied before got half through Siberia that should never be per- mitted to go there again, and that after the publication of my papers no other foreigner would be allowed to make investigations there, and I lost no possible opportunity to secure accuracy and thoroughness. brought back more than fifty pounds of notes, papers and original documents, many of the latter from secret government archives, besides 500 or 600 foolscap pages of manuscript prepared for me by political exiles in all parts of Si- beria, and covering the most noteworthy episodes in their lives. I visited every convict mine in Siberia and every convict prison except one, and I believe I know the exile system better than most officers of the exile administra- tion, and far better than any outsider. I can regard the black listing, therefore, with a certain degree of complacency. The stable door is locked, but the horse has been stolen and I've got him. ."-Boston Transcript.
