trated by an observation that escaped him
one day when one of his colleagues called
attention to the fact that the laundress
had put double set of creases in his
trousers, one running down the front
and another down the sides. "You fel

1t is said that one large party of wheel
men, who had laid out an itinerary
through very attractive part of eastern
Maine gave up the excursion because of
the execrable condition of the public high
ways. They probably went into New
Hampshire where they build better roads
than in Maine.
Thieves are stealing about everything in
this State that isn't nailed down. Three

Someone is likely to run off with one of
the Portland and Boston steamers some
dark night unless it is padlocl1ed to the
wharf. However, 1t should not be for
gotten that the owner Of the stolen yacht
by his persistency and energy succeeded
in running down one of the thieves
Such energy and persstency organized
throughout the State would soon rid
Maine of the horde of summer burglars.
A Portland man captured young seal
short time ago and took it to his fish
house on Portland pier. After feeding
the animal few days the captor finally
decided to release it, The seal would not
swim away when put in the harbor and
cried to be taken back. Afterwards it
was taken down the harbor and dropped

A correspondent suggests, in all seri-

meet the needs of many Maine towns. 1t
could contain the pulpit,a good sized tent
and the adjustable seats capable or accom-
modating between one and two hundred
people and still not be an overburdcn for
a good stout span Of horses. Such an out
fit would enable Sunday services to be
held, through the summer months at
least, in many parts of the State where
there are neither Sunday services or ia
cilities for holding them. The suggestion
is certainly one well worth considering.

TnE RAIsINc o. DEER.

Consul Dekay Gives some Pointers ON
Protection Of This Game.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.--United States
Consul General Dekay at Berlin, has
come forward in a report to the state
department, with a novel proposition
that should command immediate at
tention ON the part of social economists
as well as of sportsmen. He says the
abundance and excellence Of venison
connot fail to impress persons who live
in German cities. 1t is common dish
all the year around, and its price is SO
moderate that only the poorest classes
fail to taste it now and then. The rea-
son for this is the high cultivation Of
forestry and the care with which deer
are bred, fed and protected from poach-
ers. Considering the excellence of yen-
ison as food and The Small cost OF rear
ing deer under protection, it is, in
America especially, that steps to form
practical deer parks might be easy and

How It Could ne Done.
