Maine Fish and Game Notes.

Gray squirrels are reported to be
numerous in the woods adjoining Bath
this season, although for ten years pas
they have been seldom seen.
About 5000 Swiss lake trout have
been placed in Phillips lake and Hol-
brooks pond. The trout were Matched
at the United States fish hatchery in
East Orland. and average upward of
three inches in length.
A boatman who came down the st.
CroiX, recently, reports the schools of
small herring very thick in places, COW
ering the surface of the water for a
long distance. and there is little fear of
the sardine supply being small this
year.
An effort is bein made to stock
Union river with Columbia river
salmon. The Green Lake fish hatchery re-
ceived large lot of eggs from the Pacific
coast, which were Matched. The fry
have been doing splendidly. 1t is pro-
posed to plant them in tributaries of
Union river, and in Patterns pond
stream.
A. +. Soper recently caught at East
Orland. a land locked salmon 80 inches
long and weighing eight pounds and six
ounces The fish made a hard fight, it
taking nearly an hour to lard him.
This is the largest fish of the kind that
has been caught in these waters and
is the result of the deposits of small
fish by the fish commission.

Nobody knows how many billions
of wooden toothpicks are made and
used in this country every year. The
aggregate is so enormous as to be
practically incalculable. And to the
total of the domestic product must
be added the imported toothpicks.
While the output of this industry is
SO vast, American ingenuity has i'm
proved automatic machinery until it
requires the employment of compare
lively few persons. Fully 95 per cent
of all the toothpicks manufactured
in the United States are made from
white birch timber in Franklin county,
Maine, and yet scarcely more than a
hundred persons are employed in the
industry in that state. Outside of
the state of Maine, the principal
factories arein Pennsylvania, Massa-
chusetts, and Western New York.
The best tOOthpicks made any
where in the world come from Portu-
gal. They are whitfield by hand from
orangewood splints by peasant girls,
the only tool used being an ordinary
jack-knife. These picks are as smooth
as ivory and will not break into
splinters. They are expensive. The
girls who make the picks receive less
than ten centsa day. Next to Portu-
gal, Japan sends the greatest supply
of toothpicks to the United States.
These are made by hand from fine
reeds and are sold in close COMPETE
ton with the American product, ow-
ing to the cheap labor in Japan. The
cases in which the Japanese picks are
inclosed are fine specimens of skill
with the ack-knife. They are of wood,
cut into strips as thin and delicate as
tissue paper, but very strong. The
cases are ornamented with hand
painted japanese scenes and are OF
a size convenient to be carried in the
vest pocket. An importer of tooth
picks said recently that the japanese
picks cen be made and sold in the
American market, cases and all, for
less than the cost of the paper boxes
that contain the domestic pick.

take a flannel cloth, go over all the

Lastly, examine the various parts oil

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS
MORE TO BOYS.


In last weeks letter we talked OF
tles,-those things you enjoy
reading about,-but we only got as
far as telling you that you had a
struggle with your brains against
others, instead of with deadly weap-
ons, like the men of former ages.
That article had to do with fighting,
fair and square in the open, the
sort OF fighting a strong boy thinks
to be honest. But we are not al
ways able to choose the manner OF
our fighting. We may be quite will
ing to stand up and test our
strength hand to hand with the enc
my, but he may succeed in shutting
us up in a city or fortress-in other
words, he may besiege us, and then
instead of the beautiful motion Of
marching troops deploying into line
of battle and the excitement OF
aides-de-camps scattering in various
directions, there is the silent, sullen
waiting for assault, and the noiseless
work of the sappers as they endeavor
to get where they can destroy the
walls of the besieged with mines Of
gunpowder.

1t looks as if an era of deep-mining
for gold is about to begin in Califor-
MIA. Hitherto the surface of the
state has been merely scratched over
in the effort to find mines without
sinking, and very little has been done
TO show what is beneath the surface.
The success of the shafts that are
now going down is giving much en-
couragement to holder ventures in
deep sinking. A Los Angeles dis.
patch says that very recently larger
bodies OF good ore have been found
in the 2300-foot level of the Kennedy
than had ever been found before
Excellent ore have been found in the
lower levels of the Dead Horse, and
its shaft is to be put down to 100
feet. The Gwin mine has struck very
rich ore on the 1400-foot level
Several other large mines have an.
nounced their intention 10 sink much
deeper. California capital is for the
most part supporting the new move.
