Ten years ago the last week in Feb
be the coolest for the winter; and direct.
| ly after, or the first of March, the wealth
er changed for the better; and during
the next 20 days sap ran so freely that
some who had tapped large number of
| trees, let it run to waste just because
they lacked vessels for holding it, and
some are prophesying that the history of
that sap season is about to repeat itself.
So may it be.
Last winter two men cut wood on a
hillside and near an outcropping ledge,
which at some remote period had been
badly shattered by some mighty agency.
Here the hedgehogs, to all appearance,
had made their home ever since they
were first created. The animals made
roads in the snow, and in those roads
the men set traps and succeeded in catch
ing several of them.
The first of the present winter the
same men commenced work near the
place, and knowing the animals still
made it their headquarters, they under
took to clean them out by using another
mode of warfare. For this purpose
they made smudge of green boughs at
the entrance of the principal fissure,
and as there happened to be draft in
the right direction it soon became evil
dent that the animals were getting very
uncomfortable. They continued to
cough and sneeZe for while, but re-
fused to show themselves outside their
apartment, and finally all was still.
And since that day not trace of a
hedgehog has been seen about the prem
ises.
The men reported good deal of dam
age done to the trees in that vicinity,
the poplars being injured the most of
any by these contemplate animals.
Our late visitors included Scott Mer-
rill and wife, accompanied by Thomas
Green, who bought the George Judkins
place, and is the father of those twin
boys as before mentioned. Mr.. Green
was born in Ireland in 1865, and in that
section of the country where only the
English language is spoken. Arriving
at manhood he enlisted in the British
army, served while in India and Egypt,
and finally succeeded in getting fur
Tough for home. But while there he
concluded to try Uncle Sam while for
a master; so, bidding John Bull good
by, he came to this country and has had
no occasion to return. That was about
IA years ago.
Mr.. Green's description of his native
country, including the climate and PEG.
pie, also the peat bogs from which they
obtain the most of their fuel, was highly
interesting and instructive.

The naval fighting in the East has sci
people to figuring, and it is estimated
that two first-class cruisers engaged in a
sharp fight with each other are together
using up ammunition at the rate of near
ly $1,000, 900 per hour. This is the item
of ammunition alone, not reckoning the
possible damage or loss of the ships OF
the lives which they carry. Surely, the
money cost alone of war should keep the
nations of the earth at peace till peace is
no longer possible.
