DEER WANTED IN coMmEoyscvr.

Hantess Petttl0n 1oe AD0eouulnksoa

Ounnecticus hunters arc Malir an
effort to introduce morn wild dssr into
the state. A petition has beea ssat to
the state gome warden osking for an
appropriation of at least Sc 600 lpx the
purpose of securing deer aDd stocking
preserves in various parts OF The asate,
reports the New York Sum. Coanecti-
cut has hundreds of acres Of Wild coun-
try which Is continually growing
wilder, owing to the tendency o1 the
people to desert the farms oni give up
agriculture for manufactures and city
life, and for miles in some pnrts 81 the
state not o houze is to be seen. The
country h too barren for agriculture,
not even sheep raising being condurtei
with profit in some parts of 1t, but
the scrubs are just whnt the deer re-
quire for rsustenance through the winter.
There are now about . dozen wild Deer
in the state, and their owners believe
that they exist under denl conditions
there.
The Connecticut climate ia much
more favorable tothe animals than that
OF Maine, Vermont or New Hampahire,
and in those three states the deer are
met nearly everywhere in the uninAnb-
tied portions. The recent noveuent
to preserve wild deer in Long lsi4pd
has been a success. Bay lynses. which
in most newspaper reports are called
wildcats" in common with the genu-
inc wildcats, are sometimes metwfth IN
Sussex and Passaic counties, and so
are mink and wensels.
Bears sometimes get into the north
western part of Sussex county.

The so-called Indian war will proba-
bly, turn out to be the massacre OF some
Uncompahgres by Colorado game war
dens, the purpose being TO effectually
stop the hunting raids that have been
complained of for so many years. The
Federal courts having decided In the
famous jackson Hole case that the state
game laws are valid against the Indians,
the Colorado wardens are pushing their
authority to the limit. That. we be-
lieve, is all there is to the war" and as
is too often the case. 1t is a war alto
gether on one side, and one in which
the troops are called upon to shield the
marauders in civil life from the conse-
queuces Of their own acts.-Sait Lsks

The demaId for human hair is now

course responsible for this. and natural
ly the country where the greatest truds

Peuny. India and China, it. appears,
supply large qusntity of black hair,
but it also appears that France herself.
and even England, provide large quar-
tity. too. Some of the peasant womcr.
in France are often induced to part with
their long hair for a few shillings, which
when sold in Paris will often realize rs
much as SIS. In converts. where the
hair in always shorn, good trade j.

one of these large establishments sold
about a ton OF hair for s2o, 600. Fro
quently the hair is cut from co-psos, bu:
"dead hair" as it is called, is Of less
value than Giving hair" Curicusly
enough, an important part of the bust
ness of collecting hair is done in the
streets of Paris, where the rag gather
ers are snid to collect every day an av-
erage of 100 pounds of human hair. II
appears from some statistics recently
published that white and red hair arc
rarest in France, while brown hair
(Which. however. has n great many
shades) Is the most common color.

State dinners, as rule. are uninter-

beauty and sumptuousness in effect.
The walls of the large dining room are
banked with tropical flowers and
plants.
The table is gorgeous with gold and
silver plate.
The center Of the table, which accom-
modates IS persons, is adorned by a
large mirror, representing miniature

flowers.
The mirror has a golden frame, and
was purchased by Dolly Madison.
At either end of the board are golden

Usaally Bonsncial
A light supper just before retiring is
usually of advantage. Babies and brute
animals are usually somnolcnt when
their stolnachs are well supplied with
food, the activity of the stonach with
drawing the excess of blood from the
brain, where it is not needed during
sleep. On the other hand, people who
are very hungry usually find it difficult
to sleep. And, then, u habit o! sleep at
a regular time and during proper hours
should be cultivated in case tllis habit
has besn lost. In accomplishing this
the attainment of favorable atatc of
lind is CT great Importance. Sleep ca,'-
not be enforced by a direct exercise Of
the will.
The very effort of the will to command
sleep is enough to render its attain
mcnt nugatory. The mental state to
be encouraged is one Of quiescerce, one
of Indifference, feeling that the re-
cumbent posture is a proper one for rest
and that if the thoughts are disposed
to continue active they may be safely
allowed to take their course without
my effort toward control. This state
OF mind and thought is next akin to
dreams and dreaming is next akin to
sound sleep.
Many mental methods have been ad-
vised and put in practice for the pur-
pose of securing sleep, the design being
to turn the thoughts from objects of
interest TO a condition of rnonotony; as
by mentally repeating weil-remem-
bered phrases or sentences, Cur by count
ing. But the state of indifference, if
this can be obtained, is likely to be the
most efficient, Us being the least active.
The mere mention of these simple
methods will be sufficient to suggest
others equally effective.-Medical Rec
ord.

every state in which a vote
was taken. The Tammary
Democrats carried Greater
New York by $4,000 ma

made on the free silver issue

strength, But III Ohio the
victory is more gratifying

SOmClnc alter the repeal
of the special act by the
last legislature, prohibiting
the sale of liquor at Jones'
boro, the Baptist church to
which senator Raines, who
is the state senator from
that district and who voted
for the repeal act, belongs,
attempted to eXpell him from
its membership, but a ma
jority sustained the sen
ator's action. Last month
the Baptist association which
includes senator Rainc's
church met and upon a
motion to eXpell the said
church from the association
for refusing to condemn SEN
ator Rains, a large majority
voted for it and now the
church stands expelled. For
this act our esteemed neigh
Dor, The Batesville Guard,
accuses the Mt. Zion Baptist
Association of being mistak-
en- as to the issue with which
it was dealing,
Was the Mt. Zion Baptist
Association mistaken as to
the issue upon which it vot-
ed? The reason which onr
peighbor assigns is that
senator Raines pledged him
self in the campaign that if
4 majority of the people of
Jonesboro district voted in
favor Of repeating the spec
ial act that he would so vote
in the legislature, and as a
majority voted that way,
the senator was morally
bound to support the wishes
of a majority of his con-
stituents, and then reaches
the conclusion at once that
the church should have sus-
tanned him IN this political
scramble for office. The
church is not responsible
for the pledges it's members
make in political campaign.
If senator Raines voluntarily
pledges himself to support
a measure if sustained by a
majority vote, and that
pledge if carried out is in
direct opposition to the
teachings of the church how
could he hope to be vendicat-
ed without the chnrch COM
promising its holy mission
in the world, If our neigh
bor's reasoning is true and
the association transcended
its author ity in this act the
church no longer retains that
high function with which it
was endowed by the life and
death of Jesus Christ and
the preaching of St. Paul.
1t has reached a stage in its
grand history when il must
pause and be silent when the
majority in a political con.
test speaks though that ma
jority would auihilare its
teachings and give to the

The life and character OF

He started in life filling the
most humble position in a

Sistant effort and unCompro-
missing honesty he has forced
the world to recognize him
as one of its greatest and
truest men. He spent his
life in laboring to relieve the

recognizes now that behind
them all was a spirit which

tempting display Of wealth

No higher tribute was ever
paid to an American citizen
than that which was render
ed on last Sunday by the
ulysses of the common peo-
PIE in the city of New York
to the memory of Henry
George. The funeral serv-
ices were simple, like the
man, but dignl6ed. Hun
dreds of thousands of peo.
pie passed by his coffin, peo-
pie who were filed with
grief, the working people, to
look for the last tim { upon
the face of the truest and
best friend the poor people
Of New York ever had. A
correspondent to the Post
Dispatch says; "There has
not been in American history
just such a demonstration.
1t began at 6 o'clock in the
morning and continued until
9 o'clock at night. 1t was
the grandest tribute eve +
