PERILS OF THE HuNr IN MAINE.
a Dozen Men Killed In the First Week or the
Open season for Deer.


NoRCRoss, Me-, Oct. s.-Aftcr nearly a week
OF open season the visiting hunters who are here,
filling the camps and hotels and hiring all tho
guides and canoes that can be found, have como
to the conclusion that there are moro s%portsmen
than deer in the woods. while reports from
other places in northern Maine indicate that the
hunters and guides are shooting and drowning
nearly as many men as deer. Five persons have
been drowned and two seriously wounded with
in ten miles of this station since Aug. l.. Two
men have been shot and killed in Aroostook
county since the open season began. and acci-
dents in other parts Of the State have swelled
the number OF fatalities to an even dozen. If tho
average OF the first week holds through tho open
season. more than $50 persons will meet
death in Maine from carelessness or accident
between now and Jan. l. 1893.
Most OF the trouble is due to ignorant and in
competent guides who havo obtained licenses

Commissioners have issued licenses to nearly

Postmaster General Gary has deci-

masters. These rules in brief are
about as follows: Republican Sena-

postmaster in the largest city in their
Congressional district; Republican
Representatives will name all other
postmasters in their districts, and in
districts represented in Congress by
Democrats or Populists and in states
having no Republican Senators, the
choice will be made by the Republi-
can chairman or some other designa-

cation must also keep track of the

ers, as the department will not notify

Sailors, Eye. and E~lectricity.

Owing to the intensity of the electric
light used on board of men-of-war men
are frequently affected with eye COM
plants, which in some cases have led
to totai blindness, says 4 French mill
tary journal. 1t has been observed that
eyes in which the iris is not heavily
charged with pigments, that is to say,
gray and blue eyes, are more likely
to be injuriously affected than brown
eyes. These eye troubles are ascribed
to two causes, viz, the intensity of the
light and the action of the ultraviolet
rays. Oculists recommend the interpo-
sition between the eye and any power
full light of a transparent substance,
which will intercept the ultraviolet
rays, such as, for instance, uranium
glass, which is yellow. The French
naval authorities supply dark blue
glasses for the use of those who have
to do with searchlights, ETC., and the
Eases in which injury has been caused
to the eyes were those OF men who had
neglected to use their spectacles,
which, however, do not appear to af-
ford any protection against the ultra
violct r~ays.-Washington Star.

HEROIC COWS.
Defend Their Young Against Hungry
Coyotes.

Almost any female bird or animal will
attack another animal, or even a man, in
defense of its young. A mother part
ridge has been known to fly in a mans
face in order to blind his eyes long
enough for her young to hide them
selves. AS for the cow, she is capable of
facing a whole pack of wolves in de-
Tense of her calf-if the calf is young
enough. If it has approached the wear
ing period, she will very likely abandon
it to an enemy and take to her own
heels.
The editor of the Condor (Oregon)
Globe saw a deed of COW valor lately
that was worth recording as well as see
ing. \ herd of cattle, and among them
two cows accompanied by their calves,
were grazing in tall dead grass when
the calves became separated a little
from the rest of the herd.
Just hen two huge, hungry coyotes
crept up through the grass, cut off the
calves from the rest of the cattle, and
started in pursuit of them. After run
ming about 200 yards, the calves came to
a high, five-wired barbed-wire fence,
and being small, managed to get
through it. On the other side of the
fence was an open pasture.
The wolves quickly followed the
calves through the fence, and were rap
idly running them down on the other
side, when the two cow mothers discov-
cred what was going on. Each uttered
a loud below, hoisted her tail, and
started for the rescue.
1t appeared to be 4 hopeless chase,
for the wire fence interviewed, and the
COWS were certainly much too large to
get throughit it. They knew well enough
hat it was there, and could, beside, see
it plainly, but both cows plunged to-
gether straight into it.
The watching editor, Mortified, looked
to see them hurled back, frightfully
wounded; but instead n of the posts
gave way under the onslaught; the
wires sank down, and in another mo-
ment the mothers were on the pasture
side of the fence, badly cut and bleed
ing, but still able to charge the wolves
successfully and put them to flight.
Soon the cows were licking the res
cued calves a~ffectionately, and the coy
otes were bowling a disappointed duet
from the summit of a knoll near by.

A Point of Commercial Law.

The British court of appeal, the high
est court in the kingdom except the
house of lords, has ordered a decision on
a point of commercial law that will be
authority in this country. The ques-
ton was one where a firm of bankers
had mailed a customer a draft for $4,000.
1t was stolen from the mails by a
swindler, who forged the Endorsement,
deposited it in a bank to his w credit,
drew $4,000 on account, and decamped.
The question was whether the loss
should fall on the bank as remitter or
on the customer as receiver. The low
er court and a h~igherone both held that
the loss was that of the person to
whom the check was sent; but the court
of appeal, with the lord chief justice
presiding. reversed the previous de
c%isions, and held that as the check failed
to reach the person for whom it wasin
tended there was no payment, and
therefore the loss fell OIL the bank

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

1t is reported that q minister,
whose name is used in western papers,
has been fined seven dollars for swear
ing OIL the street at Hamilton, Caldwell
county, Mo.
A new religious opera called "Sainte
Godelive," by Edgard Tinel, of Mechlin,
who wrote the oratorio "St. Francis"
has been brought out in the Sale des
Fetes at the Brussels exhibition and Is
highly praised.
AS the English upper classes do not
object to their boys being birched, it is
only royal princes and the sons of noble
men who receive corporal punishment
in the great English schools. So at
least says the head master of Harrow.
The Abyssinian church, the oldest
organized national church in existence.
is said to be about to abandon its policy
of isolation and to enter into friendly
relations with western Christianity. 1t
is likely to seek ONE form of union
with the orthodox church Of Russia.
The oldest building in the world that
has been uninterruptedly used for
church purposes is St. Martins ca
thedral at Canterbury, England. The
building was originally erected for a
church, and has been regularly used as
a place for religious gatherings for
more than 1900 years.
A strange incident happened on a re-
cent Sunday morning in the old church
at Felmersham, Bedfordshire, England.
During the service a swarm of bees ap-
peared inside the building, to the alarm
of the congregation, many of whom
beat a hasty retreat. One person was
severely stung, and several had narrow
escapes. The vicar had the tact TO use
an abbreviated form of service and dis
pensed with the sermon, the congrega-
ton then leaving church with all de-
cent dispatch.
There is a church in Rome, called
ST. Clemente, which is a very curious
building. There are four buildings,
one on top of the other. The upper
most n is the present church, built in
HOS. There is another below this
which was the church of the early
Christians, and first mentioned in 1872.
Below this one are the remains of an
old Roman building of the time of the
emperors; and still below this are great
walls belonging to a building of the
time of the Roman republic.

Commenced at the Ton.

Ayoung lady was sketching in water
colors the other day in a suburban
place, and three little Indian children
came and played about her. They
locked at her picture and seemed to be
much interested in it. She had painted
in her sky, but had merely outlined the
landscape. She was curious to see
what the children thought of the pic
ture at this stage.
"Do you know what it is?" she
asked.
