TRAPS SET FOR ANGLERS.
Singular and Unexpected Method of
Enforcing the Game Laws in
New Hampshire.

A young New York fisherman who
went into northern New Hampshire to
try mis- luck early last summer ran
across new way of enforcing game
laws. The New Hampshire statutes
make it an offense to have in ones pos
session a trout under six inches in
length, but the New Yorker didn't know
this, says the Sun.
He was returning by train from good
days sport, when the conductor, after
taking up his ticket, strolled back and
started conversation. He asked the
fisherman what luck he'd had, and finally
asked to see the catch.
The conductor looked long and care
fully at the fish. Finally he said:
Young man, I'm game warden OF
this state, an some o. them fish are
under size. I'll have to measure them. =
And measure them he did, finding that
five were under length. 1t cost the young
ster $25 and costs to settle the bill with
the state, and part of that sum went
to the game warden conductor.
The fisherman didn't know the trick
Of the native, who, when he hauls out a
trout that's under length, cuts off the
tail and defies the warden to tell how
long it was when caught.

A NEW MILK PRODUCT.
Is Called Galalith and Ii Hard
Enough for Knife Handles
and Like Objects.

At hygienic milk show in Hamburg,
recently, there were displayed boxes,
combs, knife handles, cigar holders and
numerous other things which seemed to
have no special connection with the
main idea of the exhibition. Some of
them, like chessmen, were elaborately
carved, while others rivaled the rues of
marble, though weighing much less
than that substance. Upon inquiry the
visitor discovered that these objects
were made out of solidified milk, or
milestone. The technical name
adopted for the material is ''galalith."
For Is or 20 years inventors have tried
to, work up casein SO that it could be
utilized in this fashion. In Germany
there is poor market for skinned
milk. What cannot be sold to the sugar
or milk factories is generally fed to pigs
and cattle. If a substitute for ivory or
ebony could be made out of it, there
fore, this refuse would become more
profitable. First one chemical and then
another was added, and at times the de-
sired qualities seemed to have been OBJ
tanned. Then this product would turn
out to be too brittle, or show a tendency
to swell and warp when wet, or betray
some other deficiency. One of the
processes tried was the addition of for
maldehyde, well known modern
germicide, but the method of combina-
ton was not successful.
The makers of galalith, it seems, have
improved on this last mentioned ex-
pertinent. They use formaldehyde, but
employ other chemicals also. The
American consul general at Coburg
says:
ITO produce a material which could
be used for handles of table knives, they
proceeded as follows: Dissolved casein
was given dark color by the addition
of SCOT, and, with the help of a metallic
salt (acetate Of lead) slate colored
precipitate was obtained. This was
mixed with water and the thin pap filed
into cloth stretched over frame.
The water becoming absorbed by the
cloth, the pap contracted into uni
form, firm and dark mass. The latter
was placed in a solution of forma1de-
hyde, and after being dried product
resulted which in luster and color was
equal to ebony. In this way raw ma
terial is produced which the inventors
have protected by numerous patents
can advantage of the new product as
compared with celluloid is the fact that
it does not ignite so easily and is entire
~ odorless. Trials have proved that
even when kept for weeks in water it
does not distend more than the best
quality of buffalo horn; after one month
it had not soaked in more than 20 per
cent. of water. OF late trials have been
made to produce, by the addition of
vegetable oils, an insulating material
for electro-technica1 purposes"

ORIGIN OF THE TENT.
vention to the Ingenuity
of Adam.

IAN ancient Talmudic legend relates
that Adam, on his expulsion from Par
a6ise, encountered cutting north
wind against which his scant girdie
of fig leaves proved poor protection"
says Hiram M Stanley, in Outing. "As
he wistfully cast his eyes over the
desolate plain of Shinar he perceived
at a great distance dead thorn bush.
running thither he crouched behind
il, and while still shivering he saw a
wild ass come by. And Adam cried
20 the beast to lie down alongside and
keep him warm. But the ass spake
ont ('sfor asses sometimes spake in
those days, as SINCE" saith the COM
mentator), and derided him for not
having warm coat of fur. Where
upon Adam waxed wroth, and slew the
ass with a piece of the thorn tree, and
with teeth and nails stripping off the
ass's coat wrapped it around himself.

to prevent actual contact of the fuel
with the leather. The small quantity OF
ash which remains after the fuel is con-
sumed can be readily removed through
the opening which admits it, although
there is sufficient room inside the sole
for the storage of a considerable guam

STOVE IN THE SOLE.
Shoe That Is Warranted to Keep the
Feet Warm Invented by
virginia Woman.

Just why a woman should happen to
study I'D in the summer time an inven-
ton to aid in warming the feet in cold
weather is difficult to explain. The fact
remains that she has done so, as our il
lustration of the idea will witness. AS
there is no good reason why this same
shoe cannot. be utilized in the warm
weather as ventilated covering for the
feet, we will explain the working of
the shoe, which can be worn in all
climates Instead of having solid sole,
this shoe is provided with upper and
lower space plates, having a connecting
wall at their edges, provided with ven-
tilating openings and also larger pass
age to permit the insertion of the fuel
which produces the heat. To insure
combustion of this fuel. which is prob
ably the same as is used in the little
japanese hand and foot warmers. there
is a fiue leading from the rear of the
hollow sole to the ball, where the fuel
is placed. Of course, the interior of the

This arrangement should satisfy the
most exacting housewife, as it keeps the
help out of the kitchen, and no doors need
be left open at night or until morning
for the hired man. The living room on
the first floor has an open fireplace for
wood fire during the cold months. A
room with fireplace will change its air
three times an hour. The dining-room
adjoining the living room also contains
a fireplace, and it should be used, if for
ventilation alone. The kitchen is con-
nected with the cellar with inside stairs.

THE BoYDAYs.

The boydayg--the boydays-they were the
best of ais
Through all the bushes OF the years the
boydays ever call;
Out of the darkness Of the night respleno-
emily they shine;
And what q wreath OF memories LOT one
and all they twinei
No matter what of baser stzn the later
years may hold,
We may look up and back and see the Doy-
days all were gold.
The boydays-the boydays-when come the
threads of gray,
You may live in Tomorrow, but you dream
of Yesterday;
You may look in the mirror, but the only
face you see
Is one that has the semblance of the boy
you used TO be;
And, musing,. you may stumble on broken
bit of song
That wanders from he boydays in q
cadence sweet anc strong.
The boydays- picture with not hue TO
fade;
The glamour Of the grasses where the SUM
mer sunshine played;
The sparkle Of the ripple in some jolly little
stream
Whose song was built of jewels OF never
dying CLEAN;
Tie nodding of the roses; and the Whlte-
ness of the snow
They blend across the picture Of the long
and long ago.
The boydays-the boydays-we never lose
them all;
The best of all the memories, they come at
fancys call.
Somehow they are made perfect by the
alchemy Of years,
Which keeps alive the smiles they held and
never finds the tears.
The heart is but a treasure chest our pre-
cious things to hold,
And chiefest of the goodly store is all the
boydays' god.
