Deer Hunting In Vermont.

On the first day of next October
the first deer legally killed III Yer
mont for about twenty years Will fall
victims to the hunters rifle. On the
last night of the session of the leg's-
lature of 1896, that body passed il
most important law affecting the III
tcrests of sportsmen. BY virtue of
this statute, October in each year,
beginning with October, 1897, will
be an open month for shooting
throughout the entire state. The
law provides that only deer with an
tiers may be killed, and that but two
may be taken by any one person in
the course of Il season. 1t prohibits
the use of dogs, salt ticks. jack
lights, crusting and traps; and al
lows one deer and the head and
hoofs of another to be taken from
the state, when accompanied by the
captor. The first provision is in
tended to protect does and young
bucks.
Since late in the seventies, when
the first deer law in Vermont was
enacted, deer hunting has been for
hidden under penalty of heavy fines.
But the animals have SO increased in
numbers that the farmers in the
mountain regions, in order to protect
their crops, appealed to the legisla-
ture with the result above described.
In some sections of central and
northern Vermont they have become
so numerous as to be 4 positive nui-
sance, and 1t is safe to say that by
October there will be few better
hunting grounds in the east than in

PARIS FIREMEN AT WORK.

They Go to the Fire Deliberately. but Arc
Active When There.
The strength of the French build
ings, the unintiammable nature OF
their partitions, their hardwood
tioorings and the scantiness OF the
furnishings, to say nothing Of the
comparatively slight use of fire for
household purposes, have generally
kept Paris quite fec from catastro-
phies due TO fires, and at the same
time have left the fremen seriously
handicapped when it is Il question OF
dealing with IL serious contiaSratlon.
a correspondent of the Boston
Transcript, who saw fire in Paris
Il few years ago, relates that while
strolling along one of the principal
streets leading from the river up to
the central line Of boulevurds his at
tention was caught by cOmmotion
in a building just across the street.
Smoke was rolling out of the win
dows of the third story, and busy
hands were visible throwing items
of household use out of the windows
with that lack of discretion so preva-
lent among the savers of material at
fires. Chairs and tables, long
legged stool and items of bric-a-brac
were saved from the flames only to
meet quicker and more certain de-
struction on the hard asphalt pave
ment. In the attic window there
was a woman screaming, although
it proved afterward she was quite as
free from actual danger as if on the
sidewalk below. A small crowd
gathered and somc one said, They
have sent for the tircmcn.' The
household goods were taken down
in IL ,lcsultCry way and the woman
au seiIieme continued her screams.
In Just II minutes the engine AZ
rived 1t WAS such il one as may he

cued the screaming woman, who
throughout all that interval had not
