two pounds Of wornout tissue. This

ach and digestive organs to digest and

A Pest of Porcupines.

xiii the pOrcupines," is the cry in
Washington county, Me-, where the
useless animals are working havoc in
the woods. A bill has been intro
duced into the legislature providing
for bounty on the quill-forhfed crea-
lures, and a war of determination is
planned.
Reports from the head waters Of
eastern rivers state that the heavy
timber far back from the coast is be-
ing rapidly destroyed by the porcu-
pines. A hunter who cruised along
the head waters of the Machias river
last fall was astonished at the extent
of the depredations of these animals.
Standing in one spot he counted fifty
eight valuable timber trees that had
been killed by porcupines.
1t is said that the porcupines came
into Maine from New Brunswick thirty
years ago, as up to that time few of
them were to be found in this State.
They have been steadily and rapidly
increasing in numbers, until now they
swarm like ants, for, being altogether
worthless, no one has though it worth
while to hunt and kill them Their
greatest destructiveness comes from
their habit of gnawing the bark from
trees. Their method Of destroying
hemlock and cedar trees is to gnaw off
the branches from top to butt, while
spruce, pine, juniper and the various
kinds of hard wood are killed by the
bark being gnawed off in sections or
rings extending completely around
the tree, the porcupine climbing the
tree, often two-thirds of the trunk S
height, before beginning work.

men will toll at tearing hole nearly
seven miles long, and in some place
$50 feet deep, in the foothills Of the
Alleghanes. The removal of more
chan 100000 cubic yards Of earth
will be necessary. By doing away
with four sharp curves on the line Of
the cut and reducing all grades to a
maximum of 10 per cent, the cost of
operating trains on the division will
be materially lessened, faster time can
be made and heavier loads carried.

an old trunk which contained clothing
that her father had worn. She aired
the clothing and then placed the arti-
cles back in the box. Her father died
Of smallpox thirtY-nine years ago and
