Increase of Deer i'll Maine.

Maine historians say that over
one hundred years ago wolves
came down from the north and
devoured most of the deer IN the
colony. Some Of tl!s deer swan to
the islands along the coast and Il
remnant was saved. The wolves,
having no deer to eat, turned to
the domestic animals OF the coun-
try, and gave the settlers great
trouble. The Indians, too, robbed
of their meat supply BY wolves,
were for q long time in a starving
condition. and often those in the
interior went miles to the sea-
shore for food. The wolves at
length went northwood, and little
by little the deer increased until
1910, when there was another wolf
raid, and for two years they play.
ell havoc with deer and cattle.
Then they disappeared and have
not since been seen much in the
State. Deer are again increasing.

Pictures on Stone.

dustry he continued, a. he N'Tnc,
ed at q large lilhograph in seven
colors that hang over his desk,
"Regarding the advances made
in photographic art, the introluc-
tion Of steam presses did much to
help along the business. There
was u time when all the press
work was done by hand, and tliis
labor made Autographs so high
that they were placed beyond the
reach Of many people. Steam
presses came. however, about. flt-
teen years ago, and the art Of en-
craving pictures upon stone re-
ceived 4 new impetus. We were
then enabled to make terms with
showmcn and made posters for
less money than wood cuts could
be made. Theatrical managers
came to US, and we not only made
portraits for them, but even their
bills that were posted on boards
were made by photographic nro-
cess. Then Barnum and Fore
raush took advantage of the su-
perior quality Of pictures that
could be produced by engrayings
on stone, and circus managers
were our best customers.
"Nearly all the pictures you now
see on bill boards and IN windows
are Autographs. Fifteen years
ago hardly merchant in the
United States thought he could
advertise by means oflithographs
but now there are hundreds who
have costly pictures made. Espe
cially is this true of tobacco firms
and patent medicine men, who
give us large orders for atlyertis
ing pictures.

Workingmen and Beer.

The remark was made in our pres
ence a short time since that large
proportion of the laboring men in this
city spend from 20 to 40 cents each day
for beer. At the rate of 25 cents day
the sum thus spent in year would be
$7S.25, making no account of any used
on Sundays.
This is some thing that can not be
proved to do a particle of good to those
who use it, and many medical men
claim to know that it is highly in
furious. But granting that it does
neither special good nor harm, why
should any one tax himself to that
amount and take from his family the
extra comforts it would buy.
1t seems like selfshness for a man
to indulge even his innocent tastes at
the expense of his family, and worse
than selfish to spend money for that
which will be almost sure to injure his
health permanently.
And how can a man for a single mo-
ment believe that beer as frequent
drink does him any goodp If beer
drinkers will take the pains to find out
for themselves the different substances
contained in their favorite drink, we
think they will be less likely to relish
it as they now do. Its tendency to
make those who drink it have a stout
or bloated appearance is we'll known,
but instead of being sign Of health,
this is exactly the opposite. The best
advice for any one about to drink
glass of beer is simply don't do -

Hereditary Inebriety.

In the International Congress of An
thropology, hela in this city lately,
among the papers read was one con-
tributed by DIR. Norman Kerr, of Lon
don, president of the Society for the
Study of Inebriety, upon hereditary
inebriety. The paper, which was read
by DR.. Lewis d. Mason, of Brooklyn,
awakened much interest. Heredity, it
was affirmed, was the most potent
cause of those leading to inebriety.
!" Fully one-half of inebriates," says
DR.. Kerr, "have had this fatal inher-
itance handed to them" Again he
says: 80 A morbid state of organ or It's
sue may descend. Thus, the first child
of inebriate parents may be an idiot,
the second an epileptic, a third neu-
rotic, and fourth an inebriate. The
heredities are SO powerful that the
health history of inebriates should be
carefully traced, SO that proper allow
ance could be made for the physical
inability under which many suffer-"
The lesson of this paper emphasizes
very strongly the wisdom and duty OF
total abstinence, especially for all those
who would assume parental response
bilities.--M Y. Witness.

Quality of Hemp Ropes.

A German paper, in an article on the
present methods of rope manufacture
from hemp, and the determination of
the different qualities and probable
strength simply from appearance, lays
down the following rules: A good hemp
rope is hard, but plant, yellowish or
greenish gray in color, with certain
silvery or pearly luster. A dark or
blackish color indicates that the hemp
has suffered from fermentation in the
process of curing, and brown spots
show that the rope was spun while
fibers were damp, and is consequently
weak and soft in those places. Again,
sometimes a rope is made with in
ferior hemp on the inside, covered
with yarns OF good MATERIAL fraud,
however, which may be detected by
dissecting a portion of the rope, or, in
practiced hands, by its behavior in use;
other inferior ropes are made with
short fibers, Or with strands of unequal
strength or unevenly spun-the rope
in the first case appearing woolly, on
account of the number of ends of fbers
projecting, and, in the latter case the
irregularity Of manufacture is evident
on inspection by any good Judge
n r Sun.

Philosophy of Saloons.

The resident in Chicago can not have
failed to notice that grocery, meat
market, cigar store, newsstand, hard
ware store, all pass away at some
street number, and finally the saloon
comes to stay. To judge by appear
ances, no business is so permanent or
safe in commercial way as a dram
shop.
The dram-shop usually employs three
people. 1t is a loafng place for at
least three other non-workers. If that
saloon were blotted out, six men would
be driven from parasitical life, and
the tenement would be devoted TO the
public use rather than to the destruc-
ton of public peace, capital and COM
fort.
Whenever legitimate business gives
way to saloon, the householder who
works every day, making something of
absolute use, may conclude that a
fresh demand is to be assessed on his
income, both in public taxes and in
private foray. And the saloon will
stand as an additional temptation to
that same householder, alluring him to
the betrayal of family and personal
character.
The saloon building and the time Of
all its inmates are wastes. The public
fund feeds all hands. Chicago Herald.
