TRAPS SET FOR ANGLERS.
Singular and Unexpected Method Of
Enforcing the Game Laws In
e New Hampshire.

A young New York fisherman who
went into northern New Hampshire to
try his luck early last summer ran
across a new way Of enforcing game
laws. The New Hampshire statutes
make 1t 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 a 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 a game warden Of
this state, an some q them fish are
under size. I'll have to measure them"
And measure them he did, finding that
hve 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 .
trout that's under length, cuts OF the
tail and deties the warden to tell how
long it was when caught.

and there are within 1t to-day several
notable buildings serected by the
monks. OF its church buildings the
most notable is that of Santa Ana, the
rallying point for the revolutionists OF
the past Much of the original city

gan on February "a, 1911, when, after
three weeks of rapine and murder, he
burned the warehouses and many OF
the public buildings. and with 175
mules laden with spoils and 600 pris-
oners he recrossed the isthmus to the
Caribbean. Two years later the Span
fish Villacorta began rebuilding the
city, and though it has suffered from
revolutions. earthquakes and other
frightful affairs, there is much left to-
day that reminds one of the old Span
ish reign.
To run a canal through this narrow
neck of land from Colon to l'anama
has been the dream Of mankind since
1927, when III. de la Serna explored a
route There are to-day nearly a dozen
routes surveyed across the isthmus.
but only on the one undertaken by De
Lesseps has there been any noticeable
amount of work done.

Of the Panama railroad which has
been in operation since 1855, and was
the first railroad which connected the
two oceans. This railway is to-day,
short though 1t Is. one Of the impor-
tant lines of transportation Of the
world, and pays to its stockholders
probably larger dividends than any
other similar enterprise. It has made
both Panama and Colon ports OF no
small Importance, and on it and the
canal hinge the value of the state.
II the revolution occurs, and the
state is successful in Its fight for indie

NEVER MIND.

Are you blue. little boy. are you angry and
sore,
With the way things have happened to-
a day?
Have you borne all you can, till sou can
stand no more.
Are you fretted and hurt to your very
hearts core,
s And cruelty robbed of your play?
Never mind, never mind, the day will soon
end,
And with 1t your trials SO sore:
For doubtless q happy tomorrow you'll
spend,
And kindness and love shall your broken
heart mend,
And troubles remember no more
Are you grieved, little maid. do you think
you're abused,
BY playmate or teacher or friend,
A victim Of falsehood, unjustly accused.
Your hearts dearest wishes unklndly re-
fused,
Till you almost wish life at an end!
To-day may be rainy and everything drear,
And nature enveloped in gloom:
In sunshine tomorrow, the day will be
Each lingering raindrop a diamond appear,
The flowers in the fields all abloom.

DRIED ATMOSPHERE.
Use Of Patients Unable to Go to
the Mountains.

In view Of the increasing attention paid
to the treatment of = consumption-the
realization of the ravages of the white
death" and the success following the ex-
periments in the open air. cures-it
IS of interest to note that when it is i'm
possible to remove the patient to the
mountains mountain air can be brought
to the cities, says Inventive Age. There
is in London an institution called the
oxygen hospital, which has special ar
rangements for the cure Of tuberculosis,
ulcers, lupus, wounds, etc. Cubicies are
constructed. six and one-half feet long.
four feet wide and six feet high, and ele-
waited on blocks about foot above the
floor, and in these compartments con-
sumptives may sleep and spend the
greater part of their time in an atmos-
phere artificially adapted to their neces-
Stiles The cubicles are provided with
scientific mechanism by which
the air is dried, filtered, ozonized and
rarified before it reaches the patient.
The walls of the compartments are Of
wood and plate glass, and the doors are
air tight, closing with joint. Oppo-t
site the doors and attached to the wood
is the small chamber where the air Is
treated. The outer air, when drawn
by ventilating shaft into the chamber,
is filtered through layers of cotton wool
to remove all impurities, 1t II thendrfed
by being passed through perforated
trays charged with chloride Of calcium
and finally ozonized by means OF an
Andriolis tube, which is called into ac-
ton for five minutes in each quarter OF
an hour by automatic clockworS. Above
the doors is square chamber contain
ing the exhaust fan and there Is ven-
tilating shaft leading therefrom through
the roof of the hospital. As the out
put is regulated so as to exceed the in
let. the atmospheric pressure within the
cubicle is somewhat reduced, and the air
Is rarified.
The patient spends some 16 out ofevery
"a hours in his cubicle, and it is said that
instead of being cramped by his mar
row surroundings. he Is unwilling to
leave them, as he finds it much easier to
breathe there and corrspondingly diff
cult outside The cubicle after the initial
expense of construction has been COW
cred, is not costly in operation. The
cubicles at the London oxygen hospital,
for instance, cost about Is cents a day

DEVELOPMENT OF THE AXE.

DR.. John Clifford, of the New York
State College of Forestry, compares
the implements Of prehistoric days
with those Of to-day, in Forestry and
Irrigation. From his illustrations we
reproduce few specimens At the
left are some more advanced forms OF
stone axe, and at the right three repre-
sentatives Of modern times. The two
axes having handles. with their heads
downward. are the American single
bitted and double bitted types, and the
one having its head uppermost and
having straight handle is of. German
manufacture. The Indians fastened
their axeheads upon wooden handles
with stout thongs. In order to derive
a correct idea of the relative size Of
these axes, one should imagine that
Of the stone implements to be reduced
one-third in comparison with the metal
ones. DR.. Clifford says:
The axe had its beginning in q
pounding implement of rough stone.
It gradually developed into a tool with
an edge for hacking and a pole for
pounding. Its efficiency was finally
increased by the addition OF handle.
It has remained combined pounding
and cutting implement up to the time
of the manufacture of the double bitt-
ed steel axe. A chopper goes into the
woods to cut, and the larger the cut
ting edge at his disposal the better.
but as tool for general utility the
double bitted IL inferior to the common
single bitted axe with curved hickory
handle.
"A good axe should be solid steel.
It Is said that handmade axes tenn
pereds by the heat OF natural gas are
the best. It should have a curved
blade, with bullying faces; such an axe
throws out the chips and does not
stick. These carefully proportioned
curves give to the American axe its great
efficiency. "A professor Of art in Ger
many once said that q thing with ar.
tistic lines is usually thing Of great
est utility, and he gave as an illus
tration the American axe. German
axes radically differ from the common
American axe, but are not so clumsy
and inefficient as they appear 1T flrst

q time affairs ran smoothly enough that
the outside world heard little of the life

But gradually there came to the knowl-

woke up the public to the realization that
our Indian charges needed help In gov

ordered; and the report was made that
the territory was most lawless. a harbor-
ing place of outlaws and criminals of all
sorts. We learned that the full-blo0d
Indians had very little to say in their
own territory, that the "squaw men
ruled and mis-ruled as they saw fit.
These squaw men, white men that had
married Indian women. ruled tribal
affairs, controlled broad acres, and push
