Deer at the Springs.

Charles ]. Traver, assistant engineer,
Zones Crandall and William wilkins,
firemen, at the water works, never had
occasion to doubt the accuracy of their
own eyes, but yesterday morning some
thing appeared before their vision
which for moment caused them to be
little skeptical as to the reliability
OF their optics. The appearance Of a
real live deer was what occasioned their
doubts. The animal came through Mar
ian avenue yesterday morning and went
within few feet of the water works.
With an agility acquired by resi-
dence in the Adirondacks, the animal
vaulted a barb wire fence and crossed
the Fitchburg railroad tracks and
made for the Excelsior Spring woods.
For fully twenty minutes the deer
stayed around the edge of the woods
and then disappeared into the interior.
The deer was doe, Weighing fully 200
pounds. 1t probably took a notion to
make pilgrimage toward civilization.
Its life is safe unless somebody vio-
lates the game law. The doe has not
been seen since it entered the woods,
where she may conclude to spend the
winter. The doe is in town under the
protection of the game law. Had 1T
not been for that law the animal would
probably not have lived ten minutes.-

Identifies Himself.

Statistics of nomenclature would be
interesting. John Smith, a travelling
man from New York, who was at the
Riggs house recently. states that one
person out of each 100 bears the same
name as himself. This used to be
source of great annoyance to him but
he has proved equal to the emergency
by inventing a new and attractive mode
OF Identification through the medium
OF Photography. He buys photographs
the size Of postage stamp In large
lots, reducing their cost to mere tritie.
These he places on his business cards
and leaves with his correspondents
with instructions to stamp on all en-
velopes. The photograph is placed in
the center of the envelope and his name
below 1t. When he calls for mail he
presents duplicate photograph. thus
avoiding getting other mems letters or
their obtaining his. The scheme has
only been in operation a month but
works like charm.-Exchange.

Notes on Lions.

The tongue Of the lion Is so rough
that close look at it will almost take
the skin of the locker. It is not safe
to allow lion to lick your hand, for
II he licked the skin off and got taste
OF the underlying blood, supposing it
to be there, he would want the hand
and everything adjoining thereto.
Nothing more perfect in modern ma
chlnery exists than the mechanism
by which a lion works his claws. He
has five toes on each of his forefect
and four on each of his hind feet. Each
toe has claw. Nothing about lion is
without reason, and the reason he has
more toes and claws on his fore than
on his hind feet is that he has more
use for them. If this were not so the
majority would be the other way. The
lion Is nocturnal by choice. He has
no particular objection to daylight.
but likes to spend it in the bosom of his
family. or at least adjacent to it. 1t
should not be supposed that because
he roams about at night he neglects his
family. He roams in order to fill the
family larder. He kills to eat, not for
amusement. He never bothers small
game 30 long as there is big game with
In reach. When feeling fit he can take
