SPECIMENS WANTED FOR EXHIBITION AT
THE STATE HOUSE.
The following circular is being sent out
by the committee of the Maine Sports
mems Fish and Game Association, CON
sisting of S. l.. Crosby, E. G. harrington
and Cornelia L. Crosby. 1t relates to
space at the State House for exhibiting
specimens of Maine's fish and game The
committee have received many favorable
returns. The circular is as follows:
In response to an application for space
i'll the State House to place on exhibition
mounted specimens of fish and game of
Maine, the Governor and Council have
authorized Col, +. C. Stevens, supelin-
tendent of public buildings, to assign the
space necessary for that purpose. The
committee of the Maine Sportsmen S Fish
and Game Association wish to procure
mounted specimens of all kinds of game,
fish and birds, native of Maine, or which
sojourn for part of the year in the State
Heads of moose deer and caribou, or
any mounted animal of whatever descrip-
ton, likewise of fish or birds; also spec-
mems of any and all kinds of fishing and
hunting implements, rods, lines, HOOKS,
guns, spears, ETC., especially those used
in the earlier days of hunting and fishing,
are wanted.
At present there is hardly an evidence
of the great fish and game resources of
our State to be found at the State Capitol.
The Importance of securing such an exhi-
bition will impress you as of great value
as well as source of pride to the citizens
of our State.
We must depend upon those interested
to make this effort a success. We ask
you to interest yourself and friends in this
undertaking, apd contribute some of the
above mentioned specimens to our asso-
citation.

known the name of those capturing the
same. Specimens may be left with S. L.

For Village Improvement.

ORGANIZING AND CARRYING OUT A MOVE
MENT FOR THE RETIREMENT OF TOWNS.
John Gilmer Speed writes upon how to
organize and conduct a Village Improve
ment Society in the April Ladies' Home
Journal. He prefaces his paper with the
assertion that the Culture prosperity of
the country village depends, in great
measure, upon its suitability for the sum
mer residence of those who prefer, at that
season, to leave the hot and crowded
cities, and argues further that ''a Village
improvement Society should be pure
democracy, and within it's membership it
should embrace every man and woman of
good repute in the neighborhood, and be-
sides this there should be established an
auxiliary league of children. This league
should be asked, and urged, and instruct
ed to assist the main society. Such
societies are usually supported by fees
and dues. This is very well in village
where the majority of the people are
quite prosperous and usually have store
OF ready money at their disposal But
even in such places l prefer the method
OF supporting the society by purely volun-
tary subscriptions of money, labor and
material. Labor is just as good as money,
and is given much more freely by all save
those who are rich.'
After canvassing the matter Mr.. Speed
suggests public meeting, to be address,
ed by some one familiar with the details
Of the work, preceding preliminary or
ganization, and the adoption Of consti-
tuition. Permanent officers and committees
should be named at the first meeting and
preceding the second one the first labor
day should be observed. ''On that day
all the men and teams in the village should
congregate to work under the direction of
the executive committee, and the ladies
of the society should provide picnic
luncheon for the workers that day In
some untidy villages the whole of the
first labor day might be given to cleaning
up; in others the sidewalks might be
put in better order, or pieces of new
sidewalk constructed; in nearly every viii
lage it would be good thing to put the
grounds and fences of the public school
house in order. But there are always very
obvious needs everywhere before the adj
vent of the village improver. But what
is done that day should be done with some
thoroughness, and the MONDAY luncheon
is apt to invest the day with some of the
characteristics OF festival. What is
done will be discussed in every house of
the village, and the achievements will in
spre confidence OF provoke criticism.''
