DEER IN CONNECTICUT.
Their Number Probably Greater Now
Than $50 Years Ago.

It seems to be a fact, proved by al
most daily observation now. that deer
are returning to Connecticut and in
good numbers, too. Reports are heard
almost daily of one or more of these
graceful animals being seen in one or
another part of the good old state. un-
der circumstances which fix it that
they are new arrivals
There are probably more deer in
Connecticut today than at any previ-
Gus time within the last $50 years.
They are seen on railroad tracks, in
fields and gardens and even feeding
with the domestic cattle. Where they
all come from and what is drawing
or sending them here seem not to be
very clear. They are not only seen in
most unexpected places, but appear to
be singularly free from fear of human
beings. Ihey are seen. too, in nearly
ali parts of the state.
n DAY or two ago a young lady down
the river below Midd,etown succeeded in
photographinS one of them by a snap
shot. At almost any time within the last
years down to 1900 if a hunter wished TO
shoot deer he made a long trip to find
MS Same-going either to the Adiron-
dacks or the far backwood5 OF Maine.
Their appearance in such numbers
might be accounted for by the disap-
pearance of the wolves that formerly
destroyed them: but the wolves have
peen gone, IN almost all parts of New
England, for long time and their dis
appearance cannot now be relied upon

Nothing proves better than good
dry heat to quiet pain. Hot water
bags and bottles are excellent, if per-
fectly tight. Hot sand bags also are
good to place beside the body and
limbs. A relay of hot plates, wrapped
in WOODEN cloth, will do wonders in
giving relief to a patient. In any
case of serious bowel trouble it is well
to follow up with relays Of hot plates,
lightweight earthen, or, better still,
because OF their lightness, are the tin
plates such as are used by bakers, be-
ing always careful they are as hot as
can be borne, but not too hot and
wrapped in cloth. This remedy will
allay Inflammation and pain to won
derful degree. 1t is also excellent in
rheumatism of the hip, knee or ankle.
A frequent change of hot plates, well
wrapped in woollen and placed be-
meath or over the suffering joint, as
the patient lies in bed, will bring
great relief.

Still oitener the mother takes the

Again, when mother has good cause
