Getting Things Fine.

Pioneer Press: A number of special
game wardens are being appointed in an
ticipation of the opening of the chicken
season few weeks hence. The State
commission proposes to make anusual ef-
forts this year to give the birds the full
measure OF protection intended by the
law. To that end new policy has been
decided upon. namely, to confiscate the
guns and equipments of all persons
caught doing illegal shooting. The con :
mission has been led to inaugulate this
policy from the many failures it has met
of late in securing convictions. Men have
repeatedly been caught red-handed and
then country juries have turned them
loose. The policy it is thought, will hit
the poachers in very sensitive spot
their pocket bOoks-and insure greater
respect for the law.

(Chester) has always stood in the fere

MIA Stats normal and many other nigh
schools of learning being located. within
its borders. We quote:
superintendent Bye seems to be
actuated by the impulse that it is his
duty as superintendent of the
public chools of Chester county to be
careful and chary in awarding certificates
to teachers, particularly to new and inex-
perienced applicants. In his examine
tions in the county he has granted diplo-
mas to only about 25 per cent Of the APP
plicants. He is imbued with the idea that
the grade of teachers should be raised
This IS right and proper. The depressed
business condition of the country has
probably had some influence in bringing
a larger number of young people than
usual into the teaching profession, and of
these are many who are young, too Young
to be sufficiently experienced in human
nature, the understanding of character
and the Importance of the right develop
ment of the moral and natural insticts of

There is an article written by James
Cassidy In st. Nicholas on the "Girlhood
Days Of England's Queen" Mr.. Cassidy
says:
There were in the life of the princess
days when she longed for companions of
her own age. Her mother, guessing this
longing, was very tender and gentle with
her, and considered often how best to make
up for this lack. Once the duchess, it is
said, thinking to please her daughter,
"sent for a noted child performer of tho
day called Lyra, that she might amuse
'Drina with some remarkable perform
ances on the harp. On one occasion, I"
writes the biographer, "while tho young
musician was playing one of her favorite
airs, the duchess, peroeiving how deeply
her daughters attention was engrossed
with the music, left the room for few
minutes. When she returned, she found
the harp deserted. The heiress of England
had beguiled the Juvenile minstrel from
her instrument by the display of some Of
her costly toys, and tho children were dis
covered, seated side by side on the hearth
rug In state Of high enjoyment, sur
rounded by tho princess playthings, from
which she was making tho most liberal
selections for the acceptance Of poor little
Lyra."

FAMOUS OLD PEOPLE.
Some Who Attained Great Age and With

Some Who Attained Great Age and With
out Any Diet Rules.
Among the examples OF moderation In
diet Miguel Soils Of san Salvador Is con.
spicuous. He was 180 years old In 1873,
and, IL he Is still to the fore, is likely to
complete his second century. He believed
that he had lived so longDecause he had
never eaten more than one meal a day.
Even in that he limited himself to what
no could tuck in during the short space OF
half an hour. He therefore was living
argument against those bygienists who
bid us eat slowly and masticate we'll. His
diet was chiefly vegetablA meat, which
was always cooked the day before, enter
ing into it only twice week. For two
days In every month he tasted, and he
drank large quantities OF water His plan
included several other details, and on the
whole, we of the threescore and ten can
without envy wish him joy.
Macklin, the comedian, who lived and
died In Covent Garden, was wonderful
oddity, in virtue of which, or perhaps in
spite of which, he managed to get through
107 years. He followed the wise and sim
pie rule Of eating when hungry, drinking
when thirsty and sleeping when sleepy.
All these he did on u liberal scale. He
never took of his clothes except for the
purpose of having his body rubbed all over
with brandy. He always slept in blank
cts, and histJry does not record single
journey on their part to the laundry, and
his couch, which was hard, was placed in
the middle Of the room.
What is most strange about longevity is
that 1t comes like the dew of heaven, t..
every class. Kings, who live in luxury,
beggars, who go through existence In a
state of chronic cold and hunger giants
and cripples, abstainers and drunkards
large eaters and small eaters, toilers and
sluggards, brain workers and body work
ers, vegetarians and carnivores, smokers
and nonsmokers, sane and insane-all
have apparently an equal chance of the
prize of long life. An old woman who

Fertility Of Eggs.

One of tho worst puzzles Of the season
for the poultry enthusiast Is that pertain
Ing to properly fertilizod eggs for hatch.
Ing. II the fowls have free range, with
access to the open ground and green stuff,
tho eggs will bo oil right II the hons are
running with good cock. But I'm con-
flnoment there arc dozen points to bc
looked after. Grit, shell, charcoal, etc.
are alwaysa n necessity to the general health
when hens are confined and thus of course,
always affect the question of fertility. IL
will not do to bo without them. Still less
will 10 do To bo without good supply Of
