PLENTY OF GAME.
More Moose and Deer In Maine Than For
Many Years Past.

More Moose and Deer In Maine Than For
Many Years Past.
There has not been year for some
time when game was as plenty and
when so little game has been killed
Dad destroyed as last winter One
reason is that the snow In many
localities had not been deep and at the
same time it had been hard, holding
up the deer and caribou. and giving
them chance to protect themselves
by fighting. Another reason Is that
the guides and hunters have learned
that it is for their interest to leave
the game alone. esp ecially during the
deep SHOWS
made 1t point to see many OF
them in the early part Of the winter
and tried to make them understand
that it is for their interest for US to
keep good stock of fish and game as
they would get more business during
the guiding season. The most OF the
game that was killed was killed In the
back settlements hunters using dogs
to catch deer, There has been a
story OF ninety moose killed near our

not moose enough in the locality. IL is
near the Canada line. and this same
report comes from there every year.
But l don't doubt that the French
Canadians kill all they can find.
They always have made practice
OF killing moose every year. and in
years past / have noticed that the
game OF all kinds near the Canada
line Is scarcer than it is forty or fifty
miles from the line. Moose are quite
plenty in the central part OF
Northern Maine. Last March in one
weeks travel saw the tracks or

moose, and all the signs OF poachers l

would have caught them. but they
gave him up and did not get him.
Deer are now plentier in our settle
ments than they have been for a long
time at this season OF the year. Deer
can't be otherwise than plenty the
coming season, as can't remember
when there ever was as many deer in
Maine as .there will be next season.
although in some particular localities
deer are not as plenty as they have
been for some other years. This is
due to being too much hunted and
leaving deer in the woods to die after
being wounded.
In the Nicatous region both game
and fish are particularly plenty.

To Discover In What Time the Blood
Makes u Complete Circuit.
Medical workers have made many
curious experiments but none moro
wonderful than that by which they as
certained the exact time required for
the blood to make one entire trip
through the system. which all students
OF physiology know means a complete
circulation through the lungs. veins
arteries and the general capillary ar
rangements. Profs. Dalton. Herring
Poissenille. Mattucci and Blake have
been the chief Investigators in this
line the first named having become
more eminent in this particular
branch Of research from having the
experience OF others to fortify himself
with. All the old school ANTAGONISTS
believed that considerable time
elapsed. say from three to nine min
utes. from the time when the blood
left the right side OF the heart ira
versed the whole system and then
again returned to the starting point;
Dalton has shown that the time is
much shorter than was formerly
generally supposed. The chief
agent used in his experiments was
salt known TO chemists as ferrocyanide
OF potassium. which can be readily
detected in the blood on account OF its
chemical reactions. Prot. Dalton
describes the operation in the follow
ing language: Blood was drawn
from the jugular vein OF the opposite
side. and the interval which elapsed
before the appearance Of the foreign
salt in blood drawn from the second
opening Indicated the time required
for the blood to pass from the point
Of injection through the vena cava to
the heart from the right side OF the
heart through the lungs to the left
cavities from the lett ventrical

capillary vessels OF the head. and

A Summer Skirt.

Do you feel as if summer was the
time for wash goods; as if everything
you wore ought to go in the waShtub
periodically; as if even silk pettlcoat
with its frills, ruffies and plaitings, was
a little too substantial and suggestive of
cool weather, and, Notwithstanding all
this, do yOu love the swish and soft fall
of silk skirt, and that peculiar air and
sense of luxury and permissible extrava-
gance that the finest muslin cannot give?
You say yes to all these questions of
course, so go and buy some pongee, or,
better yet, some of those delightful wash
silks, japanese or China, that are to be
found all over town.
Get eight yards and make your skirt
as elaborate as you please; edge the ruff
fles with Nalenciennes or Point de Paris
lace as broad as your purse and taste
permit, and the pretty skirt can go to
the wash as often as you wish and never
lose its first freshness all the summer
through. A favorite way to make the
skirt is to gore the front breadth and
also the side ones; then run up two
widths plain for the back. Have a foot
ruffie two inches wide, herringboned,
not hemmed "a hem is apt to be stiff.

why Women Are Paid Less Than Men

There are reasons why women are not
in every case paid as well as men, and
they are large economic reasons which
deserve consideration. Among them
are these: There is undoubtedly cheap
er standard of living among women than
among men; women as class have less
good equipment for life work than men,
because the expectation in many cases is
that the work will be interrupted by
matrimony; and, most of all, women
have come into the industrial field as a
new economic factor, and industry has
not yet adjusted itself to her.-Forum.

A METROPOLITAN WILDCAT.
a City Woman's Remarkable Experience
with Il Strange Pussy.

with IA Strange Pussy.
\ New York woman had an expert
ence few nights ago which she will
not soon forget-one which, considering
her environment, was very surprising
Her home is a ground apartment, occu-
pying two floors, however, in one of the
high class apartment houses in Fifty
ninth street overlooking the park. The
library is on the second floor and in
this room she was seated one night
when a peculiar noise from the family
parrot, who was in his cage in an oppo-
site room. attracted her attention.
Thinking the bird was merely rest
less and wanted his cage covered, she
picked up a soft wooden couch cover
and started across the hall. At tbs
threshold of the second room she saw
crouching on the top of the parrots
cage a gray cat. which had succeeded
by his weight and clawing in inclining
the cage almost to the tipping angle,
poor Poll meanwhile travelling up and
down the upper side in a frenzy of
fright. The unequal struggle could not
have lasted many seconds longer, and,
urged by the crisis, though really
alarmed at the unusual size and fierce
appearance Of the cat, Polls mistress
advanced into the room shaking the
couch cover and attempting, after the
manner of women, to "shoo' the cat
away.
She had half crossed the apartment
when the animal made a spring at her,
and but for her quick movement i'll
covering her head with the couch cover
which she held her face would have re-
ceived the brunt of the attack. As it
was, the cat clawed violently for an in
slant at the mass Of woolly material in
which he was enmeshed; then, aided Ivy
the desperate push which the now ter
rifed woman gave him, leaped to the
floor and dashed into the library.
Mrs. - recovered her senses and
closed the door between herself and the
cat, then violently rang the bell for as
siStance. The maids responded and,
after carrying Poll to place of safety
in remote room, an attempt was made
to dislodge the cat from the library. At
sight of her pursuers the creature began
to rush about, jumping through brass
screen with force enough to break it,
knocking over bric-a-brac and loose
books, and ending by scaling the win
dow casing as if it were tree and run
ming out on the bare curtain pole. From
this high perch he glared down at those
beneath him until Mr.. IS arrival
shortly afterward. He was then prod
ded down and leaped through window
opened for him to the pavement below,
darling off to the park as soon as he
reached the ground.
Policemen and others familiar with
Central park say that stray city cats
often find homes in its sequestered
hooks, growing wild and raising prog
eny that become almost as fierce and
terrible as a genuine wildcat. In this
instance the animal was doubtless driven
from its haunts by hunger, and, getting
III on the ground floor, was attracted up
stairs to the parrots cage by the scent
of the bird and its food.-Her Point of
View i'll New York Times.
