DEFYING THE LAW ON A RAFT.
How the sherifs of Two Counties
Were Outwitted.

A snug little white house on raft is
still to be seen moored to the shore
of Pontoosuc lake, in the Berkshire
Hills. 1t has been famous in its time,
but its active career is over, and the
fun-loving youth of the neighborhood
look regretfully upon its quiet retire
ment 1t was the property of man
who, a few years ago, piled brisk trade
in retailing liquors without license.
The portable nature of his saloon, and
a geographical peculiarity in the situ-
alton of the sheet of water upon which
it floated, enabled him to carry on his
trade in merry defiance of the author
tiles.
Pontoosuc lake lies partly in the
township of Pittsfield and partly in
the adjoining one of Lanesborough.
J.s float" as it was everywhere
known, was always kept near the diviN
ing line, and was the most popular
rendezvous in the two townships for
those of a conviyial nature. Sharp-eyed
and quick-eared sentinels were contin-
ually on the watch, however, and at
the first breath of warning of the ap-
proach of the sheriff of Pittsfield, the
float, il it chanced to be on that side,
was speedily seulled or poled over
into Lanesborough. There the baffied
Pittsfield officer might gaze at it to his
hearts content, but it was beyond his
jurisdiction. In the same way, the
sheriff of Lanesborough found that
the float successfully eluded all his
most vigorous attempts to surprise it
on his side of the line. Each officer was
so anxious to make the capture in his
own township that the rivalry was
spirited and the float led life of ex-
citement. But this same rivalry be-
tween the sheriffs was also its protec-
ton, for their professional jealousy of
each other prevented them from trying
the clearly feasible plan of joining their
forces and running the float down into
one township or the other.
After a few seasons of this life J.

NEW FRONTIER DIFFICULTY.
serious Question Whether fhese
uen. Are Natives or Aliens.

Louis Choteau owns 3 small farm III
New Brunswick, bounded on one sue
bx the American line. He also owns
small triangular piece of adjoining iana
in Maine. On this he has erected COM
modious henhouse.
He feeds his hens on the Canadian
side. but they resort 10 the house IN the
United States 10 deposit their eggs, and
also to sleep there from sunset TO sun
rise. Louis sells these eggs in Maine
without paying any duty. claiming that
they are an American product. The
question Is complicated by the fact that
some of the hens are American born,
while Others are raised in Canada and
owe allegiance 10 her majesty Victoria,
hx the grace of God Of the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland queen,
defender Of the faith, empress Of India.
Louis contends with some show Of rea-
son that an egg IS not a product until
II is produced; that the nest and the
roost govern the domieile in the case
Of domestic fowls. without reference to
the nationality of the owner or the
original birthplace of the fowls them
selves.
On the side of the department of the
treasury it is urged that the eggs are
manufactured in Canada from Canadian
raw material-grain grown in New
Brunswick. supplemented by the pau
per worms of that provinee-and SNUG
Cled into the United States by the hens
in finished condition; that If they can
bring in eggs free of duty they might
also bring diamonds. which could be
forced into their crops and removed on
this side of the line by painless vivii
section-a proceeding which would be
clearly in eontravention of our revenue
laws; and that hens who cross the line
every day in search of livelihood, ac,
companied by their husbands, and i'll
some cases by large families, are clearly
foreign hens-no matter where they
sleep.
In some quarters there is disposition
10 pooh-pooh the whole matter as be-
meath the notice of great republic and
a case TO which the maxim "de minimis
non curat lex" is clearly applicable.
But nothing is unimportant where the
principles of international law are in
volYed. Besides. our line is over 1000
miles long, exclusive OF Alaska. and the
number of eggs which could be clan,
destinely introduced by body of hens
extending from the Atlantic to the Pa,
cific ocean is simply enormous. Nor
could any force of custom house officers
prevent more than a small fraction OF
this smuggling of unlaid eggs.

and persistency of hen seeking her
nest knows that the attempt to ''shoo''
millions of them back into Canada

STRAW PLATING DECLINING.
Ancient Tuscany Industry Must sur-

Ancient Tuscany Industry Must SUR
render TO Competition of orient.
A report has just been published by
the foreign Office at London from the
British consulate general at Florence
In regard to the straw hat industry in
Tuscany. The industry is of great
antiquity. 1t has attained con-
siderable Importance as early as the
sixteenth century, when it was carried
on at Sigma, a village near Florence
the straw being imported. In 171S at
tempts were first made to grow the
wheat in a particular way so as to pro-
cure fine white straw suitable for plait-
ing. These were successful, and dur
ing the period when the Leghorn hat
was fashionable the trade became high
ly prosperous. In 1922 ii gave en-
ployment TO $4,000 persons.
In 1926 it suffered greatly by the in
PRODUCTION in England of the manutac-
ture of particular style of straw hat
with the Florentine braids, but II re-
vived with the discovery of the system
OF IL straw braids, by which Ii straws
or ends were joined together, so as
TO form an extended sheet of plated
work. Various improvements led 10
the invention of the once-famous ca
pete, or Leghorn hat in 13 braids, IN
the shape of sugar loaf, and made Oh
1875 or 200 strips of braid. These hats
when in fashion, sometimes cost from
$50 to s165 each. In 1870 the industry
reached its zenith, and of late years,
owing TO competition from China ana
Japan, it has declined and il is now IN
a very depressed state.
The report describes the methods OF
growing the best straw and of prepar-
ing it for plating, as well as the dii-
ferent kinds of plaits and processes
of bleaching and dyeing. The total num-
ber of hands employed in the industry
in the province Of Florence is s4,55s, oi
whom over $4,000 are females. The ltal-
ian, like the English, Belgian ana
Swiss straw patterns, must accept the
inevitable, it is said, and give place 10

FODDER PULLING.

1t has been shown that pulling fod-

made from them, but because these na-

once combine beauty with utility, dis
card the dead and unsightly pine fo.-
est trellis and train the vine into a

taneously with the scuppernong, if not
already at hand, and in a short space
