who devised and formulated the scheme
has also the fullest Endorsement of all
leading naturalists and sportsmen who
have had an opportunity to examine it.
Briefly, it contemplates dividing the en-
tire territory of the United States, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, into two con-
cessions along the line of the 40th par
allel of latitude, or near it, for each OF
which there shall be Uniform laws and
uniform close time, the whole to be un-
der the police surveillance of the ma
tional association for the protection of
game and fish through its multifarious
state auxiliaries. The close time for
the northern concession will be from
January 1 to September l, and in the
southern concession from February 1
to September !, during which no shoot
ing shall be allowed on any kind of
game whatever, excepting that wood

colae may be shot in August. The gen.

conform very nearly to the distribution,
habitat, and breeding seasons of the
various fauna which are sought to be
protected; and where they do not es-

l,encies and bodily stress will always
stand in plea for exemption from penal

proven.
Mf. Hallock presents his arguments
in a very logical and convincing manner,
and he believes that it cannot be long
before this salutary code will be in sue
cessful operation.

Suitable for Warm Climate or Summer
Use in Colder Sections.
A very convenient milk house for
warm climates or for summer use in
colder sections is shown IN the cngrav-
ing herewith. 1t is six feet square and
six feet high at the caves, which is large
enough for the milk of two or three
COWS. The house is built under n large
grape arbor, about 20 feet from my
kitchen pump. The milk tonk, which is
12 inches deep and IA inches wide at
the top, extends along the north side.
1t has a screen cover, which may be
covered with cloth in very hot or dusty
weather. A table with shelf under
meath occupies the southeast corner.
A space just above the level of the tank,
two feet wide and extending on all sides
of the house, is covered with wire
screen. Shelves above the screen and
below the tank give sufficient room for
milk and butter dishes. The milk is set
in pals. A galvanized iron pipe leads

The separator not only gives more

suited for the calf.
Aerate your milk where the air is
purest only, just as you give the cows
the purest water to be had.
Good bulls of pure breed are very gen.
eral now and bull calves of similar
stamp are comparatively cheap.
Bulls tempers are often ruined by
teasing. They should see only their

A DOLLAR ARGUMENT.

Excellent Objecttlk lkesson ON the Profit of
Good Roads.
Conditions such as recently existed in
small town in New Jersey, IL miles
from Philadelphia, form fitting OBJ
ject-lesson of the profit of good roads.
In consequence of the bad roads the
wagon makers thereabout constructed
four-horse vehicles to carry 55 bushel
baskets as maximum load, which was
regarded as heavy hauling. Real es-
tate had gone a-begging for years;
there was no possible market for it.
1t had been impossible to settle up
estates because no purchaser could be
found for the land. But few years
ago the people of the community woke
up. The town issued $4,000 worth of
bonds and applied the proceeds to bet
ter roadways. AS a result New Jersey
wagon makers of the vicinity of Phila-
delphia are making two-horse vehicles

a new industry is that of lullaby sing
ing. Young women who are studying
vocal music very often turn their grow
ing talent to small account, at least, by
going to nurseries two or three times a
week to sing to the children, at bedtime
hour, soft, grooming lullabies. 1t is in
households, of course, where the mother
has no singing voice, and who believes
in the influence of sweet and correct
singing on the developing ear of her
child. This may seem the exaggera

loads made up from 90 to 125 bushel
baskets, and still the loads are not re-
garded as heavy. Two horses are able
to do more work than four horses, and
with much more ease.
On the old roads two men and four
horses, with wagon Weighing 1000
pounds, could take two and a half tons

NO CAUSE FOR DISMAY.
Danger of Injury on Electric Cars Not as
Great as Some Imagine.


Great as Some Imagine.
The fire department of the city of
Boston has done wise thing in tell
ing the public why it need not be the
least afraid of ordinary mishaps that
are likely to befall an electric car. In
view of the large number of accidents
that have occurred Gil trolley lines,
and the alarm that is often created
among passengers when certain things
take place that are inevitable and
others that are not, the fire department
has published plain statement con-
cerning possible contingencies which
should GO far to reduce future panics.
There are four things that are sure
to happen now and again to the cleo
trical equipment of street railway:
The melting of fuse metals, the burn
ing out of motors, the burning of the in
sulation of wires under the floors or on
the roofs of cars, and the breaking and
melting of trolley wires.
In none of these cases is there the
slightest fear of danger to the passen-
ger if he keep perfectly calm. The fuse
metal would not perform its proper
function if it did not melt at the proper
time, and thus prevent burning out
of the motor. Often the fuse goes off
without any apparent sign, but there
are times when it vaporiZes with a
vivid flash and loud report. This
may be not little startling, but the
"blowing of fuse" is very slight
hon ho
senger should remain quietly in his
seat, as it can cause him no injury.
No means has yet been found of eff
fectually preventing the burning out
of electrical motors, and this will oc-
cur at times on the best regulated street
railroads. Instead of seeking safety
from seeming danger in precipitate
flight, the passenger will do well to
wait until the car stops, and so run no
personal risk. Many of the insulated
coverings now used for electric-con-
ductors are infiammable. For various
reasons these coverings are very apt
to take fire and burn, but the burning
is not usually rapid, and the other por-
tions of the car are seldom damaged.
If in such case the passenger wants
to get out, he can do SO, but he can af-
ford to be quite leisurely about it.
Trolley wires will and do break at
times, but they will do no harm to
persons who remain in their seat. If a
person wishes to leave the car he
should descend quietly, taking care to
avoid the broken ends of the trolley
wire. While it may look very vicious
and alarming from the sputtering and
sparkling that ensues when it comes in
contact with t,e wet ground, or some
other good ~ ductor, it will do no
harm to the passengers who keep out of
its way. There is nothing that need
scare anyone in any of these happen
ings. for the electric current on trolley
lines is in reality well under control,
though it does kick over the traces at
times.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

THE ANNUAL report of attorney
General Beatty, which has just been
completed, contains the following
recommendation:
/ most earnestly recommend to
the next legislature the passage Of a
law for the compilation of statute
laws of the State at the earliest pos
sible moment, for the reason, among
others, that twelve years have
elapsed since the last compilation
was made, and our statutes are now
in very confused and almost un-
ineligible state, so many altera-
tions and amendments having been
made without any reference to the
then existing laws, and the difficult
les of finding the existing laws on
many subjects, involving the neces-
sary labor of whole days at time.
I believe the sale of the new com
pilation would nearly, if not entire
~, pay the cost of its preparation
and publication, and if properly
made such compilation would save
litigants much trouble and citizens
generally many, to them, very cost
~ mistakes and mistakes concern
ing the statute laws of this State.
The Attorney General might have
added that the best thing the people
of the State could do would be to
call q Constitutional Convention
and make the needed changes in the
Constitution so that laws may be
passed that will work some good to
the State. About four-fifths of the
laws on the Statutes can now be
declared constitutional or not, just
a. the case seems to fit those who
are interested. The cost of a Con-
vrntion would more than be made
up in the saving to the State and
individuals in litigation over the in
depreciation of the laws as they now
stand.

Of 43 to 81. The bill was Immediate

reported to have denied that he has
entered into any engagement with the
pope or with Emperor Francis Jo-
seph not to attack the Spanish re-
gency.
Don Carlos is also quoted as adding
that, while 1t is true that patriotism
enjoins a peaceful attitude upon his
party at present, the same patriotism
might counsel a change of opinion, for
he concluded, he is perfectly free to
choose the opportune moment to reas-
sert his rights.
The publication of this interview has
again set the hearts of the Carlists
beating with expectation. and it Is
more than likely that a serious re-
Verse to the Spanish arms in Cuba
would be followed by an outbreak of
the Carlists, who are admitted to be
better prepared than ever before to
take the field with hope of success.
To prepare for another attempt to
place King Charles VII on the throne
OF Spain, IL Spain loses Cuba, which
seems to be more than likely, the
Carllsts claim that the downfall of the
present regency will follow immediate
ly, and that Charles VII. will be tri-
umphantly placed upon the throne

The Spanish ministers, however,
claim to be well able to cope with the
Carlists and to suppress the insur-
rectionists in Cuba, and the Philippine
islands at the same time.
