Special Correspondence.
London, NOV. 10--Solomon IN his wis
dom said; "None Of you by taking
thought can add one cr'bit TO his sta
ture"-whch was doubtless true in
solomon's day. but cannot be consid-
cred applicable TO this year OF grace in
which a large number OF once-shcrt
English folk are strutting about with
a stature artincially increased at so
much per cublt, This doesn't mean
high heels and deceptive garments; II
means an actual permanent stretching
Of the body for the sake of cutting a
better figure, or for the sake Of getting
into the army.
Figures quoted recently in the house
of lords by the Earl Of Meath proved
conclusively that the British race Is los
ing stature, and a commission was
forthwith appointed to inquire into this
physical degeneracy. which mostly af-
feots the working class, the chief source
of recruits for King Edwards army.

PEOPLE NEVER KNEW THERE
WERE so MANY ANIMALS.
BUT ARE NOW FINDING OUT
Millions of the Pests, and Efforts
at determination Are Futile
Huge Bills Rolled Up Which the
State Must Pay-RepeaI Looked
For.

Bangor, Me-, Dec. 24-When the
Maine legislature last winter passed
the law giving a bounty of twenty
FIVE cents a head on all porcupines
killed in the state, it little realized
the extent of the hedgehog population
or the activity of the farmers boys
for now that the returns have begun
to come in it appears that the ap-
preparation of $500 a year will not pay
more than a twentieth part of the
claims.
The official hedgehog year ended on
Nov 30, and thus far in December fif
teen towns have sent in claims for
bounty on S,574 hedgehogs, or 81,
1880, while the total kill of these
animals this year is variously es
timated at $4,000 to $4,000. The
bounties must be paid without regard
to the size of the appropriation, and
the general funds of the state must
be drawn upon to make up the
difference.
The hedgehog law was passed upon
the ground that these animals are
more destructive 10 growing timber
than all the forest fires, and the fran
ers of the law fondly imagined that
they were going to exterminate the
pests within a few years. Now they
! take a different view of the matter
for it seems as if there is no end oil
hedgehogs in Maine, while it is as
/ serted that thousands are killed in
New Brunswick and brought into this
state for bounty.
The assertion that hedgehogs de
stroy timber is supported by some
Ilumbermen and disputed by others
and it is likely that the next legis
lature will repeal the law on the
ground that if long continued the
bounties would cost the state more
than the protection of big game. The
hedgehog population is now reckoneG
in millions.
