THE REGENT HEAVY RAINS

Are Breaking the Water Famine in
 Connecticut-OverO One and One- Third
 Inches More of Rain.
 The recent heavy rainfall throughout the state is matter for great rejoicing, and was commented upon by many peo- pie from adjacent towns who were in New Haven yesterday. The prolonged drouth that had seriously threatened a water famine in Connecticut has been pretty well broken.
 Even after the heavy rainfall of some days ago the wells in some places in country towns near here were dry as bone, but now they are beginning to fill up, and people in the country round are experiencing a decided relief from most uncomfortable conditions People liv-

SHOOTING MEN FOR DEER.

Why is it that the tenderfoot deer hunter can go out and miss every deer he shoots at, day by day, and vet fire at a man in the belief that he is a deer and hit him every time, is something that passes human comprehension, but is, nevertheless, substantiated by facts every autumn. The mere fact that one is in the woods and in possession of a deadly rifle gives him no license to fire at random, yet it is true that many men on their way to the woods, as soon as they take firearms in hand. fancy that game may be expected any mo- ment, even though they have not vet reached the outskirts of their own bdiliw lChs, and the mere possession of firearm seems to send them off in an itching desire to shoot, to kill some thing, however puny or insignificant. They know better, but the blued steel and the walnut of the gun and the shining and deadly cartridges with which they cram their magazines, fill them with lust for slaughter that is appeased only after something drops. Let those who dare deny this. but the old hands know it is true.
 What, then, shall the sportsman do when he has a vacation he would like to spend in his favoTite woods in killing a deer or two? Shall he throw away his old canvas and corduroy hunting clothes that sportsmen's goods makers have spent years to perfect, and that

Japan's Queer Stores.

Japanese are very fond of strolling
through their bazaars. You enter at
one door and leave by another. Goods
for sale are displayed on each side Of
aisles that wind through the length
Of the shop. Passing up and down
these aisles, they lead you to the Sec
ond and often third story Of the build
ing and then back again through diff
ferent aisles, causing you to travel the
length of the establishment many
times. Finally you see the doorway a
few feet distant, but ven then you
must travel this maze several times its
length to escape.
Usually shopping is very restful in
Japan. You sit around on the floor,
and in some shops they bring you cups
Of tea tc sip and a 'hibachi" from
which to light your pipe.-Baltimore

A STICK WITH 4 STORY.
The Odd ORce Which 1t Performed
In Q GamblinE Den.

There's an odd little story connect
ed with this old cane said a New
Orleans sporting man the other day.
You will observe how heavy it is and
how the ferrule III down to a sharp
point. 1t used to be carried by an old
chap who was a well known character
here back in the seventies. He had an
interest in a very crooked gambling
house. l won't hurt anybody's feel
ings by mentioning the exact location.
but it was a saying that you might as
well slide your money undo the door
and walk OFF. 1t saved time.
This old fellow I'm speaking Of
Y operated any Of the games, but
was apparently a mere Spectator. His
business was to dispose Of what We're
known technically as Knockers \
knocker was anybody who attempted
to put a victim on his guard. usually a
well meaning but otficious friend. For
example. a visitor would be playing at
one of the games and his friend, look.
ing ~. would smell a rat. As a rule
he would feel it his duty to say some.
thing, and such suggestions were nat.
urally resented by the house.
when the old man would see a
knocker about to knock he would
hobble up. leaning heavily ON his cane,
and plant the %ferrule, as if by acct
dent, squarely on the offenders foot.
Such a prod would cause the victim
excruciating agony. and he would i'm
mediately lose all interest in exposing
fraud. While he was writhing and
Groaning the old fellow would over
whelm him with apologies and insist
upon his coming into the back room
70 get a drink. Meantime the other
chap would be losing his money as fast
as he could get it out.
There's no telling how much
plumber this stick has been the means
of securing. It's original owner has
been dead these many years, and l

YALE SOPHOMORE SOCIETIES.

The Movement to Abolish Them Wig.
orously Continued
Active interest and discussion on the
Yalecampusagainst sophomore societies
still continues, and the leaders of the
movement in the senior class are more
aggressive than ever. They say that If
the faculty fails to act upon their pc
tition they will appeal to the corpora
ton A number of members of the
senior class have received letters from
home and from Yale graduates urging
that the matter be pushed. One Of the
immediate plans is to add petitions from
juniors, sophomores and freshmen to
the petition that has already gone in.
A proposition that a public demonstra-
ton be made has been negatived on the
ground that 1t would lower the dignity
and seriousness of the movement.
The attitude of the leaders in the
movement is absolutely uncompromis-
ing, and they say that they will be
content with nothing short of the abo-
lition of the three sophomore societies.

GYPSY MOTH DISCLOSURES.

I. J. Colbert of Arlington, an employee
of the gypsy moth commission in the
capacity of an inspector, was the star
witness at the investigation before the
special committee Of the Legislature
this morning. Mr. Colbert told how the
gypsy moth employees had repeatedly
engaged, while drawing pay from the
state for the determination of the pest,
in circulating petitions in behalf Of a
continuance of the work; bow the Sc
lectmen of towns had been worked
by the employees to get them to pass
resolutions endorsing the work; how he
had been told by a superior officer to in
terview Senator Bailey of Arlington
when the latter was opposing an ap-
propriation in the Legislature, and
'ehut him off,; how the employees in
the field We're notified in advance when
committees of the Legislature or the
State Board of Agriculture, or other in
terested parties intended to make a tour
of inspection, and were expected to
make a display of unusual industry.
Mr. Colbert also charged that there
had been practised a system of juggl-
ing with figures, and he related one in
stance whereof he said he knew of an
employee being told to cut down his
figures in his report of the number of
moths discovered in certain locality,
in order that the Legislature might get
an impression that greater progress had
been made in teh mater of extermina-
ton than was really the case.-Boston
