ABOUT BERRYING.

All else must follow fashion, why not that of berrying? It has been the fash ion to "post" farms against hunting and fishing and later berry patches fell into line. Now what good If any) comes out of this posting business or who are the ones benefited? Old hunters are pleased to find good grounds posted, for in most cases they can for reasonable sum get permit to go on and generally find enough more game to pay. As. for posted berry fields, I can say this much :: On Saturday, Aug. 6th., we were on posted premises occupied by Frank Sprague and known as the Couch place in Norfolk, where good picker could pick berries and pay the fee charged (25 cents) in twenty-five minutes. This is not guess work for Mrs John NJ. Roys picked at that rate for five successive hours. So much in favor of posted fields
 And one word more for the benefit of those who never go to see for themselves MT Charles Hart found a clump or bunch of bushes that would measure about five feet in circumference at the base. From that bunch he picked ten quarts and left good picking too high up. After dinner Mir Chas A. Rhoades, thinking to finish the job. climbed the bushes and picked some two quarts more. Whilst he was yet in the trees, tweive-years-old boy was helped up to assist iu getting those too far out for a mans weight. Trees I call them for the trunk of one measured nine and one- half inches in circumference. They varied in size and the clump contained 46 trunks. Big story" did you say? No sir, it is no big story. The bushes are there to show for themselves and five living witnesses to vouch for it. A bigger story Is told of another bunch that has repeatedly yielded IA quarts to a picking R.

4 RATTLESNAKE KILLED.

Last Thursday party of ladies and gentlemen visited the well-known look out point on Wangdm Mountain called Mount Bradford. Incidentally we may say that this is the highest point on the range. over 2300 feet, and commands the most extensive view of any point in this vicinity. The Catskill Mountains, and Greylock near Williamstown, Mass, are distinctly visible. But to resume our story; as this festive party were return ing. they found their progress opposed by gigantic rattlesnake which glided out into the road and scanned the coun- tenances of the party with his bright wicked looking eyes, at the same time sounding his ominous rattle, To say that the party were startled is to put it mildly. The bronzed faces of the gen tlemen assumed light yellow hue and it is even whispered that one of the la- dies tainted. But this was but for an instant; the gentlemen quickly rallied, accepted the challenge of his snakeship and with one or two we'll directed blows from their sticks stretched this type of the old Enemy of the human race life less on the ground. Then it was found that the serpent measured four and one half feet in length and was adorned with eight rattles. After the ladies, who were just the least bit agitased, had been calmed the party made their way home in triumph without further ad- venture

InTs INFANT HAD NERVE.

A Two-year-oid That Floated in R Cis-
 tern and Helped Rescue Himself.
 Little Charles Lee Burdon, the twenty fve-months-old grandson of Lee Burdon, is being petted and caressed by the citi- gems of Elmwood, both as musical prodigy and more particularly in recog. milton of his wonderful presence of mind and courage in the presence oS death by drowning which he displayed under the most trying circumstances even to one of maturer years.
 Charley was visiting Grandpa Burdon in Greenwich street, and, clad in an ul. ster and tight fitting bonset, was playing in the yard, accompanied by his grand mother. There is cistern in tls yard, 10 feet in depth, about 8 feet in chcum. ference and containing feet of water. It is supplied with an iron cover, and precautions had been taken to have it securely fastened. Charley decided to make an investigation.
 His grandmother left him for an in- stant, and the child in some unexplain- able manner either succeeded in tilting the cover by partly raising it, or else as he stepped on the edge it was raised sufficiently to make an opening through which the adventurous infant was pre- cipitated. The grandmother returned to the spot where she had left him, but he had disappeared. She called out to him, but no response was heard. She made circuit of the grounds, but nc trace of the boy was discernible. Hap oily she thought of the cistern, and see. T. hNtt otl la she removed 1t from the opening and was terrified to discover Charley float. ing on the surface of the water. He had probably fallen into the cistern feet foremost and his clothing had buoyed him up so that he was able to float tenn porarily.
 The frantic grandparent called to him and he responded bravely. She be | sought him to raise his head a little and then called out to the gardener tt come to the rescue. Peter hastened tc the spot, and in his perpleity could no devise an immediate plan of action Mrs. Burdon realized the dire peril o the situation, and seeing small pitch | fork near by she seized it, and witl Peter's assistance made a desperate ei fort to fasten it into the infants cloth ing. The cistern was dark, and it wa with extreme difficulty that the exac location of the child could be discerned All the while the grandmother was urg ing Charley to keep up courage and ut tering words of loving solicitude, am the little fellow responded with lispinI assurances. Finally the handle of tn pitchfork was thrust within reachinI distance. and Charley was bidden t cling fast to it. He is vigorous, wei developed boy, and he quickly claspe his hands around the staff and clung 1t with dogged determination. ...
 Slowly and steadily the weight wa lifted to the surface of the cistern, an the wet and dripping figure was claspe in the arms of his deliverers. Charle was cool and self possessed, and ws quickly taken into the house and SUI piled with an outfit of dry clothing, an hot drink was administered to him. H lisped that he was pretty wet, but ths he was smart boy because he swimme in the water.-Providence Journal.

Give variety of food, of any thing they will eat, four times day for week or ten days, but let the noon and evening meals consist of corn meal moistened with fresh milk. Give them as much as they can eat of the mixture, but do not forget the variety, or they will lose their appetite. Green food, such as finely chopped clover and cab bage, will be fouHd also of great benefit.

While on the train between Winsted and Canaan a man saw him tear up a couple of sl bills, and he also threw his gold watch across the car. At Canaan he got out and walked up the Housatonic track in the direction of a freight train That is the last seen or heard of him.
 He is about 5 feet ten or eleven inch es high, had light blue or grey eyes, a rosy complexion, and was what might be termed a good looking young man. He was about 23 or 24 years old.
