The Preservation Of Native Birds
and Animals.

and Animals.
Somebody proposes to stock the
lower part OF Indiana with Mongol
ian pheasants. The Belgian hare
and the Angora goat, to say nothing
of the English sparrow, have al
ready been domesticated in this
country at one time or other, and
candor compels one to admit that
when strange beasts and birds from
foreign parts have lived here at all
they have usually become a pest.
The balance of nature is disturbed,
and the result is that there is dis
comfort all round.
It seems ms If, instead OF introduo-
ing new species where they do not
belong, some effort might we'll be
made TO preserve native birds and
animals. The gray squirrel, which
is certainly an animal worth pre-
serving, has been almost exterini-
mated in many parts of the country,
owing to the beauty Of its skin. Ma
tive song birds and some species Of
game have shared the same fate. It
would take comparatively little
money and trouble to establish pre-
serves of these creatures, defend
them from their natural enemies
and see that they we're fed and
sheltered until their original haunts
were restocked with them. Then by
judicious legislation and enforce
ment of the game laws they could
be protected so that the natural pro-
portion of them would be kept up
and the whole country would be the
richer for it.
The ease with which the native
inhabitants of country regain their
old position in natures economy at
ter having been driven out Of it for
q time is shown by the rapidity
with which game is increasing in
the abandoned farm regions of New
England and New York. In places
which have not known venison for
two or three generations the farm
ers are shooting a deer now and
then. The animals wander down
from less frequented forests into
the abandoned lumber camps and
woodlands and in time into the viii
lagos. With a little encouragement
they would return to the haunts
which their forebears knew a hun.
dred and fifty years ago.

Whence These Bones.

The story of a wonderful find in
Pike county comes from Susquehan-
ma. A party of gentlemen from that
city were recently at Stroudsburg on
hunting trip and they report while
eXcavating for a hut near ShOhola
Glen they discovered a cave in which
was found huge skeleton in a sit
ting position, with its knees drawn
up to its head and clasped in bony
embrace by its fleshless arms. At
its feet were several bowls, originally
made of red clay, but hardened by
the lapse of ages into a substance
resembling flint. A stone tablet was
near its head bearing a long inscrip-
tion in hieroglyphics and covered
with rude limitations of some extinct
animal, half reptile. Several inn
plements were also found, among
them a stone axe, the handle and
head being Of stone, while the edge
was formed Of iron of great hardness,
mortised into flint.-Stroudsburg

Thankseivinr p.v On the Erie.

Aeo6 ANAAH 10y VI sAS N@AASs
The Erie's special Thanksgiving
menu card is remarkable not only
as masterpiece of the engraver's
art but also as representing one of
the most elaborate meals ever serv-
ed in a dining car.
The beautiful engraving Of the
old New England homestead shown
at the top of the card will awaken
happy memories in the minds of
travellers, but compensation for ab-
sence from the old home will be
found in the dinner itself, which
will consist of the very best the
market affords. Reading the menu
makes one regret not being able TO
travel daily on the Erie so as to en-
Joy the sumptuous repast. Old
travellers will recall the time when
in order to appease hunger it was
necessary to rush from the train at
some way station and regale the in
ner man with a sandwich on which
the summer flies had put their trade
mark aud wash it down with a col
ored mixture called by courtesy tea
or coffee. How different now to
ensconce oneself in a comfortable
chair and while speeding along take
in not only the beauties of the
scenery but as fine a meal as can be
procured at any first class hotel in
the country.

Can Women Be Trusted with the
Ballot.


Hon. James A. Norton, who be-
gins his third term as congressman
from Ohio next December, has un-
equivocally announced himself an
advocate of woman suffrage. He
says:
"The intelligence Of woman, her
progress as a member Of society, the
part she plays in earning her own
living, and frequently in contributing
to the support of nm invalid hus-
band, are only a few of the reasons
why she should have just one more
privilege accorded to her-that Of
helping to make the laws she lives
under, of helping TO elect the officers
and to be one of the officers who
executes the laws.
''The woman who is responsible for
my existence as a man, who nursed
me in my infancy, who moulded my
youthful mind and character, who
gave me the rudiments Of education,
who is good enough to be my lifelong
companion and other self, whose in
fluence in the home and in society
makes me what l ami think she is
good enough to 90 with me TO the
election booth, and / know she can
be trusted TO vote right"
