Governor Griggs in his message attacks
the existing State appropriation of two
dollars per week per patient to county
insane asylums. Before the Inauguration
OF county asylums each county paid two
dollars per week to the State for each
pauper luna'ic, and there were besides
large appropriations made for the support
OF the two State institutions at Trenton
and Morris Plains, there was also con-
siderable revenue from pay patients. The
State conduct of these institutions was
80 costly that the legislature, several
years ago, passed the act allowing the
50 per week aforementioned as an incen-
tive to the relief of the State asylums, and
if othercounty asylums are as we'll CON
Quoted as the Salem County Asylum, the
measure was wise one. The Govern
or thinks the appropriation should be
reduced o.the originafsum of 81 per week.

TRAPPING CROWS.
It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the VII,
Rirds.

1t Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the WHY
Birds.
Crows are trapped and sold to sports
men for shooting matches, usually bring
ing $40 per 100, but, like other things,
when scarce they bring more.
1t is no simple matter to trap crows,
for the crow is willy bird, and to catch
him in "a net set for that purpose re-
quires skill, and patience as we'll, but
the hunger Of the crow is always the
trapper's greatest aid One man alone
would make but little headway catching
crows and would probably sit all day in
his little bough house ready to spring
his net, but the crows would give his
bait wide berth because they would
know that he was there.
After placing the carcass of some ami
NAL on a field the net is set close to it
by bending poles of saplings, on which
the net is hung fiat to the ground, where
they are held down by triggerlike pegs,
and line run so yards or more to a
house built Of boughs, where the trap
per is secreted.
Another carcass is usually laid some
hundreds of yards distant on the same
or another field, where there is no net
set. The trappers, usually two in num-
ber, go into the bough house together
before daylight, and when the crows be
gin to assemble on the fields one of thel,
goes out and walks away. The crows
seeing him leave, grow little bolder
and approach the bait in ones and twos,
but stop only long enough to get beak-
full of the flesh and fly off again. The
carcass where there is no net set is of
course the best patronized, but the trap
per on the outside makes it his business
to walk near enough to that to keep the
crows from settling on it in numbe
and thus satisfying their hunger with
out going to the one where the net is.
After awhile their hunger gets the bet
ter Of their Judgment or their fear, and
they gather on the carcass where the
net is. This is the opportunity Of the
man In the bough house, who, with a
vigorous pull on the line, springs the
net over them. Quick work must be
done then by the trappers, who rush up
to the net, to keep the trapped crows
from crawling out at the ends and the
front, where it is not staked fast to the
ground. With their hands covered with
stout buckskin gloves, to keep the crows
from biting and scratching them, the
captured birds are put in bags ready to
be carried off the field. From 40 to go
are frequently caught at one pull, but il
is rare thing to get more than two
springs Of the net in one day.-Phila-
delphia Record,

The Anglo-American general arbitra-
tion treaty that was signed at Washing
ton on Monday. by representatives. of
Great Britain and the United States, is a
great triumph for the cause of peace.
Negotiations have been in progress for a
long time, and their final successful issue
is victory for American diplomacy,
since but few months ago Lord Sails
bury as refusing arbitration as either a
general or special remedy for interna-
tioDal differences. The treaty is now to
be ratified by both countries. 1t is to
extend over a period Of five years, and
covers all matters excepting the Behring
Sea and Venezuelan questions. 1t is not
doubted that at the end OF tie time
named it will be extended and possibly
enlarged in scope. The negotiations of
such an instrument between the two
grnat English speaking nations of the
world cannot fail to have a profound
effect upon the nations of Europe, and

the hope in his message, 10 a general use
of peaceful counsel in settling disturbiue
