 woods, where they make for them | selves nests Of evergreen branches
 Not only may we find the stumps Of the branches which have been broken off, but the nests themselves, usually i in a closely-grOwn thtcket of ever greens, or under the low-sweePing i branches of a spruce or pine.
 One cold evening week or two ago had the pleasure of watching a num- Der of wild boars making their winter nests. It was just about sundown, and i was walking along the western slope of Croydon Mountain, not far from the summit, when I heard the grunt l of boar. It was not grunt of alarm, ! but was rather of conversational nature, and as the wind was blowing | toward me from the direction of the sound, approached to see what was going on. Crawling into a shadow of a fallen tree, I looked over the trunk into a little clearing, and there I saw about twenty wild boars of different sizes busy gathering material for their nests. Some were young-not more than two or three years old-but others were big gray monsters, with long HsFhifa flt~I .L easily have ripped horse. not to mention man. from end to end. saw one huge pig, whether a boar or a SOW could not determine, force it's way in among the low branches Of a spruce tree. She then seized one of the branches close to the trunk, twisted 1t off with her teeth, and retired into the undergrowth to place it on an all ready large heap of boughs. Presently one of the little pigs, which had just
 broken off the top of small spruce sapling, came trotting in my direction. He passed quite close to where I stood, but failed to notice my presence until he had gone round behind me. Then.
 as he caught my wind, he stopped as ] If he had been shot,. 'Whoof!n said he. as though the odor of man was the vilest on earth to him. and then with a low, rolling grunt he warned all the other boars of the hateful presence. They took the hint and were tearing away through the bushes, even before the youngster who gave the warning
 had started back over his own trail.
 This is one of the peculiarities of the boar as I have seen him; his eyes tell him comparatively little and he
 will go along with his business with an enemy in full sight as long as he receives no warning through his nose:
 but let the wind change but for sim
 gle instant, and that same boar will grunt and run as though the devil is at his heels. Not that these wild pigs

WILD noARs IN AMERICA.

We usually think Of wild boars in. connection with the East Indian sport
 of 'pig-sticking, in which the hunters
 ride after the wild pigs on horseback,
 and kill them by driving a spear down
 between the shoulder blades; or in connection with the German boar
 hunts, in which even the Emperor. William is fond of taking part, and
 in which the boars are hunted with dogs bred for the purpose. Some years ago, however, the late MT. Austin Cor
 bin imported from Germany number
 of young wild pigs, and liberated them in The Blue Mountain Forest, his great
 game preserve near Newport, New
 Hampshire. The conditions proved
 favorable to their increase, and now
 there are hundreds of these interest,"
 ing creatures living in the dense woods
 of this great enclosure. Sometimes in
 the very early morning see 8 boar running across the open ground in
 front of my house, on his way back
 to the woodland, but it is rare sight,
 for of all the animals hereabouts the
 boars are the wariest. At night only
 do they make a practice of leaving the
 cover of the trees; they have learned
 that in darkness there is absolute
 safety, while in the daylight stalk
 death and destruction. Since the first
 of September, many hunters have come
 here with the hope of carrying home
 a fine boar's head, and skilled guides
 have used all their ingenuity to bring about the desired end, but not a single large boar has been bagged this season. Some soWs and few medium-sized boars have been shot, but the biz fel- lows are all here yet. s4
 Signs of boar are to be seen often 1 enough, however, and one cannot walk for half an hour in The Blue Mountain
 Forest without seeing them. The com
 monest evidence of the presence of these creatures is seen i'll the patches of ground where the boars have up- rooted the turf while seeking for their l food of roots. In many cases these l places look as though they had been ploughed, and when one takes note of the stones and even small bushes which have been displaced, one won- l ders what sort of material the shouts

are unable to fight or that they are coWardly; a boar wounded or cornered is deadly antagonist, and a SOW, when she has litter of pigs, will fight with her last breath in their defense, and could surely tear an unarmed man to pieces with her teeth. once saw an old hunter who was dressing deer at nightfall drop his knife and seize his rifle in a hurry, when an old SOW uttered a menacing growl just inside a belt of trees nearby. This same man was charged by a wild SOW on one oc- casion and shot her dead almost at his feet.
 The boars here live chiefly on vege- table food eating besides rootn, grass, nuts and apples. But when the ground lis frozen and they are hungry they will eat almost anything and devour practically all the offal of the hun dreds of deer which are shot every year in the reservation. But in addition to all this, they require a great deal of food during the winter months, and every other day men are sent out to particular places in the forest to feed them with corn. Most of the sows have their young ones in the spring, and the little pigs follow their mother until the winter.

The emperor of Japan has perhaps done more for his people and the world than any other living ruler. He volun- tarily put away many of his kingly prerogatives,, established g. constitu- stion and al parliament, and liberalized his government until it stands among the most advanced. In the World $ Work, Durham White Stevens, coun- selor to the Japanese legation, tells us that the life of the emperor is a very simple one. If, he says the visitor in Japan expects to see a spectacle of court pageantry, he will find himself disillusionized. At the Japanese court everything Is on a scale of dignifled. al
 most severe, simplicity. The buildings Iof the palace itself are not especially noticeable save that they harmonize admirably with the gardens and grounds surrounding them, The il1te- rior of the palace is impressive more or

One of the most encouraging devel- opments of the year is the growth of sentiment in the South against lynch ing. A Law and Order League has just been organized at Aiken, South Caroli- na. chiefly for the purpose of putting an end to lynching. It is clear that the baAS sentiment of the South realizes the importance of removing 8 reproach which, due though it is to the few, rests upon the whole community. It is not only "the usual crime" which now meets with this method of punishment. And this crime" as one of the speak CTS at the meeting in Aiken said, twas unknown beforel the war, it was un- known during the war, and it was un- known after the war until the politi- clans discovered it and recommended lynehing as remedy for it. No single case has ever occurred in my neighbor- hood. '
 It is to be hoped that this Law and Order League won't feel obliged to show it's zeal by lynching lynchers. It is also to be hoped that it is but the beginning of a movement which will spread over the whole South and make is 2 better place to live in and do bus mess in. @s,

They say the Indians aren't becoming civilized very fast, and there is evil
 dence Of the truth of the saying in the fact that the squaw men" who marry Sioux women are happy because of the way the Indian mother-in-law is treat ed. Reports from the reservations are that more than three hundred Indian maidens became the wives of whites in the last year. A. J. Callandar, one of the squaW men and proprietor of a large ranch. declares that he would not Iltrade the dusky woman who presides over his household for anysWhite Wo-

 absolutely necessary. The custom is probably the outgrowth of family braWls arising from their crude way of living, huddled together in tepee and wigwam. At all events, it is an invio-

 How uneivilized and how different from the respect and esteem shown the Emother-in-laW in the civilized parts of this country. Where else in this coun- Etry than among the Indians breathe there men with souls so dead that they would be content never to look upon the face of the dear nother-in-law?

The principal handlers of cotton in the South have been canvassed by the New York Journal of Commerce for es- inmates of the size of the current crop. About 800 replies received by telegraph show a range of estimates extending from 1O.189,OOO bales to 12,500ooO. But several responses give the higher figure, and only one the lower. Estimates of from l1,oO0,Ooo to 11,5oO,0Oo bales are most common. and Il ,275, 900 is given by the Journal of Commerce as an aver age. That would mean crop a little over 100000 bales larger than that of last year, and the largest ever pro- duced, though closely approached by the yields of 1898 and 1899.

It seems desirable, writes Consul General Henry Clay Evans from Lon- don, to point out to those firms which can afford it that absolutely the most , effective method of extending their ex- port trade with Great Britain is to send over thoroughly trustworthy men, spe- cialists in their lines of business, and give them sufficient time to study on the spot the conditions obtaining here. Many letters are received at this con- sulate-general in the course of the year asking to be advised ot firma who deal iii or handle specified lines of goods, Whenever possible the names of such firms are given, but if the object be to induce them to act as agents in ham, ding American products, the results are not, in most cases, likely to lead to very satisfactory results. >

instability of evidence, occupied near ly all the forenoon. Authorities galore were quoted by Judge De Forest and State Attorney Williams.
 Judge Charles H. Peck of the Strat- ford Probate court was called ot the witness stand for the defense, and he was questioned as to the inventory on the estate of Carey's father, the late Charles H. Carey of Stratford.
 State Attorney Williams objected to the testimony and Judge De Forest said he wished to show that the elder Carey was possessed of a considerable estate. He was one of the signers on the trustees bond on which it was all leged his son forged the name of Eliza- beth c. Wheeler. The purpose of show ing the amount of the elder Carey's ses- tate was to show that it was ample to secure the trustees bond and there fore there could be no intent of forgery in regard to the other name on the bond, for one name would have been sufficient to insure any person in in- terest against loss.
 The court after hearing the argu- ments decided that the evidence to the value of the elder Carey's estate, as showing the want of intent to de- fraud on the part of the accused, should not be admitted. He said that if one signer on the bond was as rich as the Bank of England, and the other was l iimpecunious, it wouldn't prove that there was no fraudulent intent.
 The defense took an exception to the courts ruling.

Sprightly, Foote and Minor, granted a hearing in city hall last even ing in reference to the releasement of the mortgage which the city holds on the property at 192-2O0 St. John street. The Stone Dressing company, which consisted of Nathan F. Hall and John Peck, borrowed from the city loan fund May 15, 1855, $5,000, giving the city a note. The company secured this note by a mortgage on the property known as 192-200 St. John street. Those inter ested in the property now claim that this money was paid and that the city never released the mortgage. They now ask the board of aldermen to grant this release. They claim that the pay ments on the note were made as fol- lows: August, 1862, $500; August 1863 $7O0; April 30, 1864, $500, and January r. 1865. $S,0S4.50 which was the balance and interest.
