STILL USING FLlNTLOCKS.
A Now Brunswick Storekeeper Says His
 Patrons Must Have Them.

A New Brunswick Storekeeper Says His
 Patrons Must Have Them.
 Some regions are rather slow to adapt themselves to modern game-killing implements. A Forest and Stream cor respondent got letter from New Brunswick the other day which said that fintlock guns were still in use up in that country. The letter was from store keeper, who said that the store had carried supply of gun fiints ever since it had been started by his grand- father, away back in 1886. Probably he would lose trade if he did not have them in stock. It is not improbable that Indians in the North Woods of Canada still use fintlock guns, but to use them so near New York as is New Brunswick is curious.
 A flintlock gun, beside modern hammerless gun, makes contrast apt to be remembered. It has been pro- posed more than once that sportsmen. instead of using such deadly weapons as modern guns, take up the old bow and arrow, or some other primitive weapon. The sportsmen that had killed modern deer with that ancient weapon could say that he was as good a hunter as anybody. There are few or none that can boast of such a kill.

For your Protection Catarrh "Cures" or

For your Protection.-Ca Catarrh "Cures' or Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur- ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not a blood disease, caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus. and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

THE BENEFICENT CROW.
What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.

His Reputation.
 If farmers would make study of natural history and its bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of agriculture tells about COW black birds and what they eat. About 2,300 of their stomachs have been examined, and of these 2,25S contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, 4S per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has variety of things it eats.
 ''The animal food" says the report, consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfsh, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails. fishes, tree toads, salamanders inewts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice.' To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent. being the larger things, like mice. The animal food is taken mostly in the summer. In win ter the food is mostly vegetable matter. The insects the bird kills more than make up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulged in. A large flock of the birds would of course destroy a lot of grain. Some 5000 would eat about 5000 pounds day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de. stroy the amount the birds do.

FEMALE PHILOSOPHER.
How Young Massachusetts Wife Took
 Her Husbands Desertion.

A young Massachusetts wife was de serted recently by her husband on the fifth anniversary of their marriage. He ran away with pretty and silly girl of IS who worked in the same shop with him. The deserted wife treated the mat ter almost philosophically," according to the report of the Boston Herald. She said there had been no difficulty be- tween her husband and herself, and that they were "very agreeable to each other up to the last" But she added: ''If he is crazy for the girl, all right; want nobody who does not want me-"
 It strikes us that this is not almost" but altogether philosophical. Why should any self-respecting woman, or man either, want anybody who does not want them-and not only want them, but prefer them to anybody else in the world? In the savage state, or wherever women are regarded as property or as toys and men as necessary protectors, different feeling is natural. But civil ized men, and women, too, are frequent ly less sensitive and unselfsh than the noblest brutes.
 It may have been philosophy, or it may have been only pride, but the young Massachusetts wife spoke with unusual fineness of feeling.

Wild Animals That Inhabited England in
 Former Times.
 The beaver is one of the five mann malian animals that have inhabited England in former times, and have be- come extinct within historic record ,ac- cording to Notes and Queries.
 They are the true brown bear, (Ursus arctos), the beaver, Castor fiber), the reindeer, (Tarandus rangifer), the wild boar, (Sus scrofa), and the wolf, (Canis lupus). The bear was abundant in the north of England and in Scotland when this country was in the hands of the Romans, and many Caledonian bears were imported into Rome. They dis appeared altogether in about 750.
 The beaver was numerous in some localities in the north of Wales in $40 and again in 1188. There are records of them much later in Scotland.
 Reindeer were abundant in Scotland, and were hunted in Caithness in the year 1159.
 Wild boars were numerous when large tracts of wood gave them harbor They were hunted by the Tudors. They certainly existed in the year 1917. and probably much later.
 The wolf in England disappeared about 1490.
 In Scotland wolves were numerous in 1877. According to Pennant, they be- came extinct in 1880,

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.
