A devotee Of chess explains that the
game is dangerous; that 1t intoxicates and
may lead q mind not perfectly balanced
into the borderland of insanity The same
startling truth attaches to whist, check
ers, muggins and the pitching Of quoits.
The mind that would topple over from
study Of chess would topple over for almost
any other reason that might be mentioned.
The chess player may ease his fears. The
world is in no danger Of going crazy over
his little game.-San Francisco Examiner.

Scarcity of Birds.

1t is noticed in various parts of the
country that birds are fewer this spring
than for many years, the severe winter In
the south having destroyed large numbers
of them. The wanton shooting of birds
should be discouraged at all times, but
there are special reasons against it this
year.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Kill the Hawk Bill.

A bill has been introduced in our leg islature providing for the giving of bounties by the state for killing hawks, eagles and certain animals. A writer in the Hartford Times, however, shows that the enactment of the proposed law would be great mistake. He proves by extracts from the report of Dr O Hart Merriam. of the ornithological division of the U. 8. department of ag- riculture, that the examination of 1424 stomachs of hawks and eagles by Dr Merriam showed that 68. or only 4i per cent. contained the remains of poul- try and game birds; 190. or Ill per cent, of other birds; 598, or Az per cent. of mice; 43l, or 31 per cent. of insects; 99. or per cent, of reptiles; and 88. or 2i per cent, of fish.
 From this examination Dr Merriam concluded that these birds of prey are really the farmers best friends and should be preserved, because of the large numbers of mice and insects de- streyed by them.
 The state of Pennsylvania, after pay ing out thousands of dollars for the de. struction of hawks. saw the folly of il and i now protecting these birds.
 But aside from the question of use. fulness there is.to our thinking, no more beautiful or inspiring sight in nature than the hawk when, poised high in the blue sky, he scars in graceful circles on his broad outstretchei wings. It al ways does us good to see one of the old fellows, and we only regret that they are less common than formerly.
 The bill is aimed at the farmers bes friend and should be killed promptly il the committee.

COL. BLISS RETIRES.

For the past three years the Berkshire Courier has enjoyed Blissful existence with Col. E. J. Bliss at the helm as its editor. fine last issue of the Courier contained Col. Bliss open letter to the readers of that paper informing them of his retirement from the editorial chair. That announcement was recelv- ed with regret by all readers of the Courier, and by the editors of papers who exchange with the Courier. Col. Bliss is . patriotic gentleman and has won the respect of even those who do not agree with him politically. He took . firm stand for what he considered right. and his writings on the great questions of the day have always been clear and forcible, yet gentlemanly. He tried to mould public sentiment to a higher plane of morality; in short he labored for what he considered the high est and best interests of society. Great Harrington people are pleased that Col. Bliss has decided to remain resident of their beautiful village. At this writ ing Col. Bliss successor has not been chosen, but for the present H. NJ. An derson, the local editor, will have charge of the paper.
 For many years the Berkshire Courier and the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS have been good friends. We believe that Mir Anderson will continue these friendly relations and that we shall sing; Bully for H. M. Anderson, bully for him, bully for him.

Electricity Kills.

It having been suggested that con- demned criminals, to whom electricity was applied, were not killed by the electric shock. but that animation was merely suspended, Governor Flower, of New York, appointed special medical experts to be present at the next eIecu. ton and ascertain the facts. This was done and the experts report that "The evidence is that a current of 8 ampere, applied through the body at pressure of 1,740 volts will produce instantane
 ous, painless and absolute death, and the evidence presented by an examina
 tion of the brain alone was sufficient tc demonstrate the absolute impossibility of reconciliation. ..

The Scientific American says the fol lowing is the best known remedy for diphtheria: At the first indication of the disease in the throat of a person, r,ske the room close, then take a tin cup and pour into it a quantity of tar and turpentine. equal parts. Then hold the cup over the fire, so as to fill the room with its fumes. The patient on inhaling the fumes, will cough up and spit out all the membraneous matter aud the diphtheria will soon pass of. The fumes of the tar and turpentine will soon loosen the matter in the throat and thus afford relief that has bsffied the skill of the physicians.

The Old Man,s Return.

Every old resident of northern Frank. lin has 6 story 10 tell of the great freshet of '69, and here is one of the best. Just about @ week before the freshet. an old man had died and been buried in the old cemetery by the river side. The old mans youngest son had in some way incurred his fathers displeasure to such an extent that in his will he cut him off with only dollar. When the flood came. the burying ground was over flowed, and the rushing waters quickly gullied out the new-made grave and sent the coffin box whirling down stream toward the farm where the disinherited son was living.
 When the waters had subsided, some of the farmers down the river were look ing ruefully at their washed-out inter- vales, strewn with the wreckage of the waters, when one of them saw iu clump of bushes something resembling hu- man body. Examination showed the object Tn question to be the remains of the old man who had been buried the week before.
 Two or three of the men hastened over to where the son was, saying:
 "Come over here. quick; your father's body is down there in the bushes."
 The son looked over the men calmly and said:
 ''Yes, suppose the old mans come back after that dollar "--Lewiston Jour, nal.
