The West Jersey Game Protective So
ciety is at present engaged in distributing
quails throughout the lower counties Of
the State. 1t is stated that more game
will be put out this year than for num-
Der of years. During the severe weather
in December and January hundreds of
qualls persisted for the want of food and
from the intense cold, and the society is
now doing all in its power to replenish
this game bird. During the cold spell,
however, number of farmers whose
swamps and fields were favorite places for
quails commenced feeding the starving
birds and in this way great many were
kept alive through the bad weather.
The farmers state that the quails were
go weak for the want of nourishment dur
ing the winter that they could not fly,
and could be easily caught and fed from
the hand. In some of the lower counties
the residents have prepared to protect
and feed the birds in case of any more
cold weather, so that they shall not be
entirely exterminated. 1t is stated that
many of the birds were killed by nnscru-
pulous persons, who hunted them and
found no trouble in catching them with
out firing gun.

The New Truck.

America Hose Company's new hook and
ladder truck arrived ON Saturday and was
housed after short parade. The men,
bers of the entire department assembled
at Americas house about o'clock, and
proceeded in body to the railroad sta
ton, where they took charge of the truck
and marched up town, sticking closely to
the paved streets. At the Americas
house, the new machine was run into the
building by members of the other COM
panies.
The new truck is very handsome. and
while very strong, is light enough to be
easily conveyed to a fire. 1t is provided
with fire ladders. one of them an extern
sion ladder that can be run to the top OF
a building 80 feet high. There are plenty
of axes and hooks,six leather buckets, and
two Babcock extinguishers. The latter
will be found to be very valuable, espec-
tally in the case of a fire like that of FRI
day, where one of these machines would
have extinguished the flames in short
time without doing half the damage that
was done by water.
The truck is provided with gong that
is rung by an attachment connected with
one of the wheels of the apparatus. The
new machine is a valuable addition to
Mount Holly's efficient fire department.

Ctearette Smoking.

3 The following from Philadelphia ply
stefan should have some weight with
those addicted to cigarette smoking:
Sir II have just read In your paper
the account of the Mount Holly youth
who was taken to the Pennsylvania Hos
pital in the desperate hope that his health
shattered by excessive cigarette smoking
may be restored. Were it unique of it,
kind, were it the only case Of record, We
might bewail'it with passing expression o
pity. Within the last ten days, however
there have come to my notice twelve
cases of boys and Young men dying from
disease directly related to habit of smok
ing paper cigarettes. The physical de
rangements engendered by this habit
that are not infrequently contaminated by
death--are a nothing when compared
with the moral contamination. 1t per
meates society and admits no discrimina
ton of age, sex or position. 1t blight
and demoralizes the boys, it sullies thu
purity of fair women, and it deteriorate
manhood. We shrink from the contem
plation of the misery of life of opium
eating but pass by without q tremor
much more widely diffused and well root
ed habit. Education. agitation, persona
endeavor. are the underlying principles o
reform. The newspapers are the mean
of educating public sentiment. Why no
start crusade for limitation of the sal
of these paper devils by legislation?
HoRATIo X. BqGELow NJ. ID.
Philadelphia. Feb. 2. 1898.
There is law on our statute book for
bidding the sale Of cigarettes to boy

lads on our streets shows the law to b
more honored in the breach than in th
observance. There seems to be field
