CLOSE SEASON FOR GAME
Not Lawful to Kill Game Birds Cnti
 Next October.

Not Lawful to Kill Game Birds Until
 Next October.
 The hunting law is on to-day and it will not be lawful to kill game birds until the first of October. For some time not many birds have been killed, as it is not popu- lar time to hunt in the winter; and for this reason those who, of late, have gone into the woods with their guns have had the better success.
 There is no law protecting rabbits, foxes and ducks and the hunters are free to hunt these according to their own fancy. But there is a penalty attached to the killing or offering for sale buying and even eat ing of game birds, the fine being $25.
 The hunters have to report that the seasons sport has been fair, although at the beginning of the season the outlook was poor. There have been a goodly amount of partridge and woodcock, but the gunners complain that quail have been very scarce, and it Is ascribed to the fact that last winter was a very severe winter for the little birds, particularly because of | the large amount of ice and the continued severe cold.
 While the hunting of rabbits is not as exciting as the chasing and harrassing of foxes, the result is usually more satlsfac- tory, for a hunter who knows the haunts | of the little animals is pretty sure to re- turn with half dozen or less. There are also the raccoons and the | wildcats for those hunters who will ven ture into the more wild and rugged parts of the state; but the sport and excitement of winter hunting is confined to very few, as not many will venture out in the cold, but prefer sitting around the burn ing anthracite and recounting their eN- | ploits in former seasons.

HOW TO SLEEP.
The Matter of Position Is of Very Great
 Importance.

The Matter of Position Is of Very Great
 Importance.
 In sleeping, much depends on secur- ing a comfortable position. Lying on the back would seem to give the most ease, but general experience and prac- tice prove that it does not. and it is ha- ble to some definite objections. In a weakly state of the heart and blood ves- aels, and in certain morbid conditions of the brain, the blood seems to gravi- tate to the back of the head and to pro- duce troublesome dreams, Persons who have contracted chests, and who have had pleurisy and retain adhesions of the lungs do not sleep we'll on the back. Nearly all W ho are inclined to snore do so in that position.
 For these and other reasons it is there fore better to lie on the side, and in lung disease to lie on the weak side, so as to leave the healthy lung free to ex- pand. It is well to choose the right side, because, when the body is thus placed, the food gravitates more easily out of the stomach into the intestines.
 Sleeping with the arm thrown over the head is to be deprecated, but this position is often assumed during sleep, because circulation is then free in the extremlties and the head and neck, and the muscles in the chest are drawn up and fixed by the shoulders, and thus ex- pansion of the thorax is easy. The chief objections to this position are that it creates a tendency to cramp and cold in the arms. and sometimes seems to cause headaches and dreams.
 The best sleep is obtained when the shutters are closed so as to make the room dark and the windows are ad. justed so as to admit plenty of fresh air.

How Smoked Glasses Show Spots on the
 Sun.


 It may be pretty generally known that the spots on the sun can be quite easily seen with an opera glass. The spots on the sun observe, with consider able regularity, a period. At the mini mum the spots are small and very few in number, so that telescope of some power is needed, but at the maximum they are numerous and of large size. This period is about II years, and it is now nearly at it's maximum.
 To appreciate this properly it is we'll to remember the magnitude of the ob- ject we are observing, and from that one can easily judge the slze of the spots. The diameter of the sun is about SS0, 900 miles, and in comparison to the earth is as large carriage wheel to a marble. If, therefore, the spots observ- ed appear to be about one-twentieth the diameter of the disk, they occupy space about A, 900 miles in diameter.
 To view the sun, take a hazy morn- ing or evening, when the intervening mist gives it the appearance of a dull red ball, or get couple of pieces of glass large enough to cover the eye pieces of the opera glass and smoke one of them until you can look at the sun through 1t easily. Put two strips of card be- tween the ends with the smoked surface inside and attach to the instrument with a similar rubber band.
 It will be best to get your opera glasses accurately focused on some dis tant object before adjusting the dark ened glasses to them.

MAYOR klLDuFF IGNORED.
Rendered 8 Banquet by Members of the Democratic Association and Friends.

Rendered a Banquet by Members of the Democratic Association and Friends. Nearly 150 prominent depocrats and friends of Mayor Kilduff rendered him a banquet in Music hall last night. The affair was under the auspices of the Demo- cratic association and the arrangements were on an elaborate scale. The old@ hall was m holiday attire. The tables were arranged in the form ..K" Whd the name of the honored guest was brought out in many clever ways by the caterer, M. F. Connolly.
 Judge Charles G. Root was toastmaster and at his right sat the honored guest. It was midnight when the exercises began and the discussion of the elaborate spread lasted nearly an hour and a half duringwhich Hallam's orchestra discoursed sweet music.
 The post-prandial exercises opened with a short address by Senator Root. He ex- plained and upheld the principles of the democracy and delicately referred to Mayor Kilduff as representative who possessed the necessary qualifications of industry, integrity and ability.
 Mayor KilduH modestly asked that such expressions of the party's favor be with held and disclaimed the merit accredited to him by the toastmaster. He spoke of the city's growth during the past fifteen years and condemned in strong terms the present basis of taxation as relates to city and town and advocated the plan of turn ing into the city treasury all moneys raised within the city limits including receipts from liquor licenses. He argued that in a short time the, receipts from liquor i- censes would suffice to pay the expenses of the town and that then would be seen the spectacle of the dweller in the town enjoy ing many of the advantages of the city without paying a cent of taxation. In re- lation to streets he condemned strongly the present system of maintaining them and favored a yearly appropriation for block paving. He favored consolidation of the town, city and school governments, as tending to economy. He concluded by hoping the feeling manifested towards him by his party would continue through the year and ended with wishing his hosts and all that were dear to them happy New Year.
 "Our Industries" found an able cham pion in John Moriarty and his suggestion 1 that collection be taken up for the bene- ! fit of the relief bureau was favorably re- ceived.
 Other toasts responded to were 'The Democratic Party" by William E. Thoms;
 ''The State of Connecticut" by Repre- sentative J. l.. Saxe; "The Press," c. F.
 Chapin.
 w. c. Hungerford, M. J. McEvoy, and Dave Seymour of the "Mora' company,
 entertained with songs. A collection for
 the relief bureau was taken up, amounting 1 to $50.
 Hallam's orchestra discoursed sweet
 music during the evening.
 A pleasent feature of the evenings fes- tivities was the presentation to Mayor Kill
 duff of large crayon portrait of himself.
 neatly framed. The picture was carefully
 hidden behind two American flags and at a given signal the flags were drawn aside,
 revealing the life like feature of Mir Kildufl 1 to the assembled guests.

MANY LIVES LOST.

Six Bodies Taken From the Ruins of a
 Burned House in Buffalo.
 BUFFALO, N. Y., Jan 2.-At an early hour this morning fire broke out in the rear of a cheap restaurant and lodging house in the west side on Washington street. The building was a dilapidated affair and when the flames seized it, proved a veritable finder box. It burned like great heap of shavings. and when the firemen arrived on the scene there was no hope of saving it or the inmates. In addition to the proprietor of the place, a notorious character known as "Scotch Liz" there were from twelve to eighteen inmates. Six dead bodies have been re- moved and it is believed that there are eight or more still in the ruins. Several inmates who jumped from the upper stories were terribly injured.

Is it not certain that if the work of production be transferred to other countries the additional employment given to foreign workmen will be exactly of set by idleness of certain number of men here, md if several hundred thou sands Americans are added to those who want work will not the result be to force labor prices down in all the industries?
