tree, and as he leaps to the ground he is shot, or killed by dogs. It is said that in some cases he will leap from a height of fifty feet or more above the snow. He is very tenacious of life, and will give any but the most experi- enced dogs hard battle. hunter from Nova Scotia recently described to me a cruel method of catching fishers and pine martens, which he had seen successfully prac- tised in his own country
 The method is this: A hole, large enough to admit the animals head is bored into tree trunk and in the back of the hole is placed the bait, usually piece of fish. Just above the hole a. long sharp nail is driven, slanting, un- til the point protrudes into the hole like barb, pointing toward the bait When the fisher scents the bait he can easily push his head in to get it. but when he starts to pull back the point of the nail catches in the back of his head and holds him. The more he struggles the further in the nail must go, and after hours of torture the an imal dies.
 The young of the fisher are usually from two or four in number, and are born in the spring in hollow tree trunk some thirty or forty feet from the ground.

CONVICT LABOR ON ROADS.

The suggestion which was some time ago made in these columns that able
 bodied inmates of prisons and peniten- tiaries be set at work building im- proved roads seem at last to be acted upon to a considerable extent, and with gratifying results. The convicts in the state prisons are as a rule otherwise employed, but those in charge of the penitentiaries have not been able to provide work in prison shops for the prisoners under their control, and so have sought 1t outside. In eight or more counties of this state the peniten- tiary prisoners are employed either at road building or at crushing stone for road building. It Is not known that any bad effects have been expe- rienced from the undertaking, while the good effects are numerous and obvious. Among the latter these are conspicu- ous The prisoners have the physical and moral benefit of healthful labor in the open air; the prisoners are made to pay their way instead of being heavy charge upon the community; the con- struction of good roads Is promoted,

AN INTER ESTIA q MENDME ENT.

The voters of the State of New York will vote on a constitutional amend ment next Tuesday. The proposed amendment amends section IS, article III, of the State constitution, which limits the powers of the legislature, by the insertion of provision prohibit ing the State legislature from grant ing to any person, association, firm or corporation an exemption from taxation on real or personal property" Here tofore the power of granting exemp- tions from taxation has been vested in the legislature, and in the opinion of many people that power has been ex- ercised to the great detriment of the taxpayers of the State. The passage of the proposed amendment through the legislature and it's submission to the people is the result of a long, continued agitation which has been carried on in tte face of the determined opposition of the interests, mostly ecclesiastical, which have profited by the exemption of their property from taxation. A cir cular has been issued inviting the vot- CTS to vote against the proposed amend-

 other work fails. The prisoners might also be employed at repairing and maintaining the roads after they are built. Most of the prisoners at Sing Sing are now at work, but it is not long since most of them were idle and were seriously suffering, morally and physi- cally, from enforced idleness. And yet within few hours drive from Ossin- ing are hundreds of miles of roads that are in their badness a reproach to the community and cause of vexation and of actual pecuniary loss to all who are compelled to use them. We do not mean, of course, that counties and towns are to wait until prisoners can be secured to build good roads. But whenever and wherever able-bodied prisoners are idle, the reproach of bad roads is aggravated two-fold. All roads should be made and kept good, and all prisoners who are able to work should be kep at healthful and profitable work. Those are two rules which should be constantly observed, and between which an intimate relationship Is to be found.-New York Tribune

ment. This circular contains the reso- lutions adopted by the Protestant Epis- copal Convention of the Diocese of New York, the Presbytery of New York and the Synod of New York, conforming the amendment, and declaring that the proposal to prohibit the exemption from taxation of tue property owned by specific religious, charitable, edu cational or benevolent societies or cor porations" might work serious loss to their institutions
 It is not surprising that there is hos tility to the proposed amendment, nor Is it surprising that it finds favor. There has been a great deal of rich property exempted from taxation and the taxpayers feel the burden.

Now had the season returned when the nights grow colder and longer, And the retreating sun the sign of the
 Scorpion enters. Birds of passage sailed through the leaden
 air from the ice-bound, Desolate northern bays, to the shores of
 tropical islands. Harvests were gathered in and wild with
 the winds of September |. Wrestled the trees of the forest, as Jacob of old with the angel. All the signs foretold a winter long and in-
 element. Bees, with prophetic instinct of want,
 had boarded their honey I'll the hives overfowed; and the Indian
 hunters asserted Cold would the winter be, for thick was
 the fur of the foxes. Such was the advent of autumn. Then fol-
 lowed that beautiful season Called by the pious Acadian peasants the
 Summer of All Saints. Filled was the air with dreamy and
 magical light; and the landscape Lay as if new created in all the freshness
 of childhood Peace seemed to reign upon earth and
 the restless heart of the ocean Was for the moment consoled. All sounds
 were in harmony blended. Voices of children at play, the growing
 of cocks in the farm-yards, Whir of wings in the drowsy air. and the
 cooing of pigeons, All were subdued and low. as the murmurs
 of love, and the great sun Looked with the eye of love through the
 golden vapors around him; While arrayed in its robes of russet and
 scarlet and yellow, Bright with the sheen of the dew, each
 glittering tree of the forest Flashed like the plane tree the Persian
 adorned with mantles and jewels.

rough seas of recent years have been caused by violent winds, which do not aHect the sea to any great depth; while surging sea, caused by the influence of the moon, goes right down to the very bottom. In past years we have seen the skies bright, with scarcely a zephyr of wind, but the sea lashed into fury by the action of planetary influ- ences. This Is real surging sea. It Is well known fact that the severest hurricane does not affect the ocean to greater depth than fifty fathoms. Under that, with the exception of the currents that sometimes sweep our oceans. they are silent, quiet and still. West Indian Review

It may be added that one of the chief objections to the system the offensive parading of convicts in the public view-has been found groundless, for no one would take the penttentiary prisoners working on the roads to be other than ordinary la borers. f

Consul Schumann of Mainz reports to the State department that from year to wear the German leather industry becomes less profitable. This is due. he
 says, almost entirely to American
 competition. Probably no other indus {. try in Germany has suffered more se- Syerely from this cause, and vigorous efforts are being made to have Ameri s7can leather excluded from German markets by tariff legislation. The leath-
 CT Manufacturers of this country will not admit the true reason why Amer lean leather is crowding them from thefr home markets. They claim that it Is due solely to the low German inn port tariff on the foreign product, and that even the new tariff now under con- sideration will not give sufficient pro- lection against American competition. Rut low tariff rates are not responsible for the ready sale of American leather in Germany. The real reason is the vast superiority of the American tan- ned and finished leather. Every fine boot and shoe maker scorns to use Ger man leather, and will use only the American product at any price.

headquarters of sort of an engineer
ing school. Mr.. MacNair has with

They are \ jolly lot of young fellows
and their college songs on the large
yeranda in the evening furnish the
neighborhood much entertainment.
The boys are hard workers and have
to get very early start in the morn
ing, SO they willnot participate in the
social life of the city during their
stay here. They will, in addition to
their railroad work, take an interest
in the street improvements under

AN EARLY DROUTH
The First Record For Indiana Was in
1904 When Streams Went Dry.

1t is interesting to know that the
drouth of this season in Indiana had
precedent as early as 1764, just after
the close of the French and Indian
war and while the Indian tribes were
engaged in their memorable rebellion
under Pontiac
Francis Parlman, the historian, re-
lates that when messenger was sent
by the British commander at Detroit,
then recently wrested from theFrench,
to communicate with Pontiac, en-
camped ON the Maumee, a short dis
lance below where Fit. Wayne is now
situated, the waters of the Maumee
river were so low by reason of extreme
drouth that the British messenger
and his attendants were compelled to
drag their canoes over rocks and sand
bars good part of the distance from
the mouth OF the Maumee, near the
present site of Toledo, to the head
waters of tie stream, near Ft. Wayne.
He also states that the same autumn
detachment of British soldiers could
not ascend the SanduSky river in cam
oes, by reason of great drouth and
low water, when they contemplated
subduing the hostile Shawnees in the
Scioto valley. Here is a record of a
widespread Gruuth, while the for
est and prairie were yet primeval, and
before the coming of the white set
tier with those modern drouth-mak-
ers, the AK and the drain tile.
The story of Angus Corbly's cap
tivity, now running in our columns,
gives an authentic account OF cold
winter in the same vicinity and the
experiences of a band of Indian hunt
ers in the country about TT. Wayne
during that winter, with descriptions
of their methods of hunting and camp
ing and of the kinds of game found i'm
northern Indiana at the time it first
became known to white men. The
account of the village of Kikeonga,
now Ft. Wayne, in the story referred
to, was written after an examination
of copies of letters and reports written
there at the time.
