Heron Nests I'm Maine woods.

There are three known heron COZ
pnies IN New England. One of them
Is on the plantation just TO the north
Of Sebec lake. On a point of land
reaching out into the pond is a
growth of tall silver birches, and
there are at least 100 nests in the
tops of these trees. The trees are
tall without limbs for 40 feet or more
from the ground. 1t is weil-known
fact that herons never build a nest
in a tree with limbs much less than
90 feet from the earth. The nests are
constructed from small sticks, some
up to an inch in diameter The nest
is at least two feet across, and the
eggs are a trife smaller than a hens
egg, and of a pale blue color. The
old birds go long distances on their
foraging trips, in some cases 40 and
so miles. The birds of this species
about Moosehead lake and around
the ponds miles to the south all
make their way to this particular col
ony at night. Standing on the point
one can see the birds coming from all
directions during the period in which
they feed their young.-N. Y. Trib-

Troubling the Doctors.

The drink question continues to
trouble medical authorities not little.
The Lancet, in an article on the drink
ing habits of the nation, points out
that since the days Of Todd-a genera
ton ago-no medical leader has sane
toned the reckless use of alcohol. In
an address recently delivered, DR.. Car
ter, Of Liverpool, points out that, while
the mortality from almost every dis
ease has fallen, that from alcohol Is
an exception. The deaths have risen
from IS per 1,Ooo. 900 Of those living in
1873 to " per 1000. 900 in 1897. DR.. Car
ter is impatient with such matters, and
calls for Legislative or other action"
