The Days When New Englanders

From the Bangor News.
One who is country bred and who, having
left rural scenes for years. returns once

many things which he knew in the early
days. and cannot for the life of him say
for certain what they are For four or
five years after our Homecoming to Maine
we rode through the country soul-hungry
for sights that We could not put into words.
starving for a nameless something that
could not be spoken. Then, while we went
far into the deep country roads, we came
to an aged home with ample lawns and
with Hlacs and hollyhocks in front of tho

what we desired. And there 1t was back
of the house. next to the sink spout, and
between the back door and the wide Or

horseradish on one side and rhubarb on

Deer and Sleep.

Deer reverse the apparent order of ma
ture. for they sleep in the daytime and
feed at night. How much sleep they do
take is a matter Of contention even among
experienced stalkers-some say little. others
much On the whole, we are inclined to
agree with the former, for it has to be re-
membered that they chew the cud when
lying down. Two most experienced and OBJ

other In Aberdeenshire. thus gave their
opinions: Deer sleep or rest from about

To Stimulate Oyster Growth.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star,

PORTSMOUTH. Va, December Is, 1903.
Oyster men and packers hereabouts are
greatly interested in the experiments that
are being made by the national govern
men at Lynn Haven bay, the far-famed
home of the most delicious as well as the
most profitable, Of the Chesapeake bay
oysters.
The United States fish commission de-
cided that the oysters should be fed arti-
ficially in order to increase their size, nu-
tritive value and. furthermore. to preserve
the beds. The baby oysters. 1t was found,
frequently remained culls all their lives for

The oyster lives on the vegetable matter
found in the salt arms Of the Chesapeake.

ments. and he is of the opinion that the
success that has been attained means new
