beauty of the stately wooded cliffs that
rise SHINE diately behind the park and

cry frequenter of the lake, and the
grandeur of the site is beyond compare
Despite the claims of Lobster bay, Fol-

has ever held its own in popular favor
and is, perhaps, the most desirable
place at the lake for camping pur-
poses.
This year the three Swedish lodges of
Good Templars, Quinsigamond Val
Lodge, Monitor Lodge and Ankaret
Lodge, have engaged the park for the
entire camping season, The camp
ground is dotted with white canvas

Since the town began, the lake, recog-
nized by visitors as the most beautiful
and picturesque Throughout the length
and breadth of the broad land has
stretched invitingly at the very thresh-
old of Worcester Until the awaken
ing came to the realization of its mag

by the chance visitor. ESQ.,
OF recent years there has been mani
fest strong reaction. Villas and sum
mer residences have sprung up like
mushrooms. Campers and vacation
lists are fiocking to its shores in ever
increasing numbers. AT last Lake
Quinsigamond is beginning to be appre-
ciated as a summer resort, unparal-
leled except along the line of old ocean
and the delights of the fashionable
watering places. What need to go to
the seashore? AT Worcesters very
door is broad sheet of water, magnifi-
cent in its grandeur and Kaleidoscope
in its ever changing variety of scenery,
presenting steep and rugged bluffs,
wooded slopes and ragged cliffs inter-
spersed with well kept lawns and fer
tile fields that line its 20 miles of shore.
Yearly the summer colony at the
lake is on the increase, Campers are
flocking to the shores and islands as
never before. There are more summer
residents and vacationists at the lake
this summer than have ever been
known. There are scores Of idealistic
points and shady coves that present
superb camping ground, with abundant
view of the svater. Many Of these are
occupied by white tents that glow

A Costly DrouRht.

The drought of the last few years
has cost New South Wales an enor-
nous amount of money. The f1ocks of
the colony have shrunk from &C, 600, 900
to 46,OOO,OO0, representing a loss of TO-
100000 sheep. If to this is added the
loss of the natural increase, the shrink
age amounts to 100000 sheep;
enough, that is, to equip a consider
able-sized colony. In addition, there
has been loss of nearly 300, 900 horses
and 100000 cattle. That the colony has
been able to survive these terrific
losses is a striking proof of energy and
resource. Translated into money. the
colony has suffered loss, due to mere
inadequate rainfall, of from G12,OOO.-
900 to s2O,OOO,OOO sterling.

Don't Go Into Particulars.

When you meet . politician
OF q strictly business kind,
Who, at last has climbed the ladder
And left all his past behind,
You must compliment him shrewdly
If you don't want any row;
You can say you're glad he got there.
But you needn't mention how.
You can speak with admiration
OF the place he's risen to
And talk about the future
And the things that he will do.
But brevity is safer,
Simply make your little bow
And say you're glad he got there,
And you needn't mention how.

rATTOOING FOR DOGS.

Indelible Marks Provided for Their
Identification If Stolen.
Michael ]. Butler has been occupied
for the last few months in tattooing
soldiers at the various camps. AS the
soldiers have all gone home or out OF
the country Butler has returned home
and is now tattooing dogs. "You see,
said he, $50 many dogs are being
stolen nowadays that it is necessary to
put an indelible mark upon them.
Some thieves can take almost any kind
Of dog and do him up in such way
that his best friend won't know him.
They can dye dog, trim his ears or
tail and disfigure him in other ways.
Not long ago I read of a woman who
proved her ownership Of pet dog by
showing some of his tricks to the ma
giStrate. 1t struck me that II she had
had her dog marked in some way she
would have had less difficulty. I can
take a long-eared dog and put his
owners initials on the under side OF
one of the ears, with blue India Ink,
and that will be a mark which will
never fail. 1t is not very painful to
the dog. Thus far have marked about
thirty dogs, and the owners are all
pleased. Some of the dogs were tat
tooed inside Of their ears. On three
tattooed rings about their tails, with
certain private marks known only to
the owners. OF course, each man for
his own protection wants his dog to
have a private tattoo mark which can
not be seen by the ordinary observer,
so that when his dog is stolen the
mark can't be destroyed, even if its
place is discovered under the hair. The
owner can then easily prove property.
It is harder to tattoo a dog than it is
a man. 1t takes one man to hold the
dog and to keep back the hair, as to
get in the ink is quite a job of itself.
For an easy mark under long-eared
dog 1 generally get a dollar, but my
price runs up to SIS when the mark is
big and in two colors and takes time.
1 have put a blue heart, outlined, on a
dogs breast that you can't see unless
you pull back the hair. Dogs flesh is
very much like a mans, and the tat
tooing heals up in about the same
time. I have a job in view of tattoo
ing a whole pack of hounds for a
Chester county kennel club. These
dogs get lost in the chase, but fire.
quently they are stolen. When they
are tattooed under the ears the mark
can never be removed. Dog thieves
ship stolen animals from one city to
another, where they are sold or offered
to be sold, but if buyers will closely
inspect dogs under their ears, in their
ears and on various parts Of the bodies
they may be able to find tattoo marks,
which will at once prove to them that
the dogs were stolen. No honest dog
fancier will buy or sell stolen dog
