How Not to Advertise.

If you have goods to sell, advertise.
Hire man with a lampblack kettle
and a brush to paint your name and
number on all the railroad fences. The
cars 60 whizzing by so fast that no one
can read them, to be sure, but perhaps
the obliging conductor would stop the
train to accommodate an inqusitive
passenger.
Remember the fences by the roadside
as well. Nothing is so attractive to the
passer-by as we'll painted sign: "Mil-
lington's medical mixture for mumps."
Have your card in the hotel register
by all means. Strangers stopping at
hotels for night generally buy cigar
or two before they leave town, and they
need some inspiring literary food be
sides.
If an advertising agent wants your
business advertised in fancy frame at
the depot, pay him about 200 per cent
more than it is worth and let him put it
there. When man has three quarters
of a second in which to catch train,
he invariably stops to read depot adver-
tisements and your card might take his
eye.-DetrOit Free Press,

The Dog Fish Scourge.

Hon. A. R. Nickerson, commissioner of
sea and shore fisheries, says that the scourge
of the Maine seacoast just now is the dogfsh,
which are so plentiful that they threaten
to destroy the fisheries. "Never has there
been d year when they have been so plentiful
or staid so late as this year," he said when
at the capitol last week. ''Within a week
fishman set his travis near Bristol and
got dogfsh on nearly every hook If it
keeps ON this way they will ruin every
structive to Holsters" The ground fisheries
were not as productive this year as last, a
fact which he ascribes to the dogfsh lie
stated that the movement to secure boun-
ty of five cents a head on dOgfsh from the
government was well underway on the
Maine coast and petitions to Congress were
in circulation.

Farmers and the Game Laws,

In New Hampshire the Supreme Court
has held, in a case where farmer was ar
q mink for destroying his chickens at q
time when it was unlawful to kill mink,
that farmer had perfect right at all times
to protect his property against any wild
animals whatsoever. II there should be an
attempt in Maine to punish farmer for
though in close time, there is no doubt
whatever but that the decision of the
Maine courts would be exactly the same as
the New Hampshire decision to which we
have referred. But, of course, the farmer
would have to prove that his property was
in danger from his victim.-Bath Times.

THE OLD TOWN INDIANS.
The report of George H. Hunt of Old
Town, agent of the PenObscot tribe of In
dams, shows the same tendency as exists
with the Passamaquoddy tribe, in that they
all have SOured on farming. Much stress

baskets. There are 306 in the tribe, IA hay
