Legislative Salaries.

Congressman of the United States
are better paid than any other legis-
lators, receiving $4,000 year, mile
a"e and stationery funds. Australia
a!lots its senators and members Of
the house Of representatives $4,000
IL year without distinction. New
Z,aland differentiates. The duties Of
the lower house being of a more ex-
acting description than those of the
upper, it's members receive 1900
annually as against $3.50 paid to
those of the other assembly. Sena-
tors of the Canadian parliament are

lreland's Great Astronomer.

Ireland's great astronomer, Sir
Robert Ball, has just reached his
sixty-third year. 1t is true that he
has been astronomical professor at
Cambridge for a decade, but he re-
mains a thorough Irishman still.
His career as an astronomer dates
back to 1865, when shortly after
leaving Trinity college, Dublin, he
was placed in charge of the famous
private observatory established at
Parsonstown, Kings county, Ire
land. When the possibility Of sig
mailing to Mars was under discus.
sion he pointed out that if flag
of the size of Ireland was waved
from a pole to match there was just
the ghost of chance that an as
Economical Marian might perceive
the ghost of futter on the earth.

A Wise French Method.

In every rural commune in France
boards are put up bearing the fol-
lowing instru ctions:
"This board is placed under the
protection of the common sense and
and honesty of the public.
"Hedgehogs live upon mice, snails
and wireworms, animals injurious
to agriculture. Don't kill a hedge
hog.
"1'oads help agriculture; each
one destroys twenty or thirty insects
daily. Don't kill toads.
"Moles destroy wireworms, Larvae
and insects injurious to the farmer.
No trace of vegetation is ever found
in his stomach; does more good
than harm. Don't kill moles.
Birds. - Each department of
France loses yearly many millions
of francs by the injury done by in
sects. Birds are the only enemies
capable of battling with them vigor-
ously; they are great helps to farm.

Bethel Electric Company Is in
Receivers Hands.

The management of the Bethel
Electric Light and Power company
has been put into the hands of re-
ceiver, l.. M. Heath, who has for
several years acted as manager of the
company, has been appointed re-
ce,ver. The immediate necessity
for this step is the recent destruction
of valuable machinery which must
be at once replaced and the lack of
funds to meet the expenses, as the
company's treasury has been over
taxed with the expense Of continual
repairs, claims and lawsuits. The
company is doing a large business,
furnishing lights tor both Bethel
and Randolph, and the necessity for
a receiver may not be of long dura-
ton.

DAMAGE DONE BY DEER.

H. 6. Thomas, state commission.
err, writes to the St. Adams Messen-
ger in regard to reported damage to
crops bv deer:
81 have a fund 10 draw from to
pay this damage when it is proven
that the actual damage was done by
deer, without farmers calling on the
state or entering any complaints, ex-
cept through the commissioners.
The money to be used to pay this
loss is the M. E. Wheeler fund, and
will be used to pay legitimate claims.
"In one instance it was proved
that sheep, instead OF deer, had eaten
up the crops.
"This is to call the attention of
farmers to the fact that they are
partially protected, and all COM
plants will have fair adjustment. !"
