BURBERRY CULTURE.

How the Maine Gamers Have Built
 Up a Novel Industry. ..
 In the grazing sections throughout the West an old and well-known cus- tom is that of burning the dry grass to improve the next years pasture Formerly the fires were allowed to spread and burn themselves out at will, and the practice resulted in great forest destruction. Happily for the forests, the burning is now more care- fully done when it is done at all, and disuse. In Maine practice of burn ing exists which is local to that State, is novel in character, an has nothing to do with grazing. The burning is to assist blueberry culture by causing the bushes to sprout vigorously and clearing the ground of other growth.
 About 1870 a factory for canning blueberries was located in Maine, and as it prospered it was followed by lar factories and canning companies were established, until today blueberry raising and canning is an important industry in that State. To supply the increasing demand, blueberry bush areas have been constantly enlarged, until now "blueberry barrens' cover some 2,6O0 acres in Hancock and Wash ington Counties.
 A century ago these "blueberry bar rens' were, for the most part, covered by a dense forest, chiefly of white pine

YALE FRESHMEN MIN.
GET THE FIRST ANNUAL DEBATE
 AGAINST PRINCETON.
Decision Very Close but Two Judges
 Decide for Yale-The Speaking of a
 Very High Order--On Question of Railroad Combinations. <

One outcome of the increased in terest taken in debating at Yale was in evidence in the freshman debate with Princeton held in Lampson ly- ceum last evening. As being the first intercollegiate freshman debate ever held, a great deal of interest center ed in the result, and a very interest," ing debate occurred. The Yale team upheld the affirmative of the follow- ing question: Resolved, That the United States should continue its present policy of opposing the com bination of railroads" Since the open ing of the. spring term the Yale team has worked arduously under the care- ful direction of e. F.. Kerrfgan, 1905, and l.. O. Bergh, 1906. A
 The judges for the debate were Dr., Endicott Peabody, head master of Groton school, Groton, Mass; MT. Lewis Perry of Williams college, and Mr. Bainbridge Colby of New York city, member of the law firm of Alex ander & Colby.
 The Princeton team was composed of the following men: Warren Elsing of New York and Harry William Elliott of Memphis, Tenn: alternate,s John Foster Dulles of New York city. .4 Yale was represented by H. M.. Brush, 1908. R. D. Hunting, 1908, D. Hooker, 1908; alternate W. w. Wyn-. coop, 1908.
 Of the Princeton men Messrs. Elli- ott and Elsing were good in their ar guments, while MT. Clark was easily. the best in rebuttal and summing up.
 The main points of the affirmatiye's arguments were that the formation of combinations by railroads tends to kill competition, and so to keep rates at a high level. In answer to this the neg ative contended that competition tend e dto make the railroads give rebates E and special rates and to keep rates at shifting scales. The speakers for the two sides seemed pretty evenly match ed and advanced good, sound argu- ments
 So close was the debate that the judges did not agree. As Dr. Pea body said in his award of the deci- sion, "One judge was for one side and the other two weakly for tn eother." But the decision was eventually award ed to Yale.
 After the debate the speakers were dined at the Tontine.

iting the White City on the opening day next Saturday and on Sunday, Monday and Decoration day will have an oppor- tunity to get this splendid turnout. Tickets with duplicate numbers will be issued to them on the days mentioned. one coupon of which will be deposited in a large gaily painted barrel. On the afternoon of Decoration day this barrel will be taken up to the top of the relnodelled shoots and at word from the manager will be released. In it's mad flight down the shoot the coupons will get thorough shaking to see the barrel come down nckity- split. It will fetch up in the lake, and after being fished out will be opened by disinterested person before the tlrong. A coupon will then be picked out by Superintendent Stiles of the West Haven public schools and the child holding the number corresponding to that on the coupon will be presented with the pony cart.
 The management this week made 8 contract for the installment of a Katz- enjammer castle, which will not only af- ford great fun for the children but will also be a side-splitting attraction for older folks Here the Katzenjamner Kids will hold forth and play their pranks on Uncle Heine and Mamma Katzenjammer. The castle is in great demand by summer resorts and it promises to be one of the hits of the season. A new and more powerful en- zine has been built for the miniature railway and a number of new cars put on and the children will have many a happy ride around the waters edge and see the boats rush down the, shoots and striking the water become hidden in cloud of spray. Great sport for all.
 A welcome improvement will be that in the awning which has been widened some two feet and under which one can sit untouched by the sun and famed by the cooling breezes from the sound.
 Besides the many new attractions this season nearly all those of last will be retained. & }

THE GREAT HORNED OWL.
A Boys Search for Nest of the Pirate . Bird.

A Boys Search for Nest of the Pirate
 Bird.
 Work had been going on all day in the sugar bush; the sap had been gathered and drawn to the boiling place. until there remained but few scattering trees to be visited near the swamp. The boy was softly whistling to himself, when a rabbit with easy, graceful bounds crossed the road but a few paces ahead of him and stopped by the side of a birch bush to nibble the tender buds. Just then a startling sound came from the swamp.
 Why did the rabbit pause in his dainty meal and squat in his very tracks until his form more nearly re- sembled a footprint in the snow than animal? The chattering red squirrel dropped into the crotch of,a tree and ceased to chatter, as the ominous and animal? The chattering red squirrel wo-hoo' sounded through the dismal swamp and echoed through the mapple grove This was the hunting call of the great horned owl.
 The actions of the rabbit and squirrel did not surprise the boy, who had al- ways heard that this owl was veri- table Nero among the feathered race As yet he had never discovered the nest of the great horned owl. It was now the first week in March. Of late he had heard the wierd call frequently from the swamp, causing him to be- lieves the birds were nesting there, and he fully determined to make a search for that nest.
 The next day was spent in fruitless search, and it perplexed the boy, for often he had located the nests of the bobolink and meadow lark-nests that are not easily found.
 But the second days search ended, about noon, in rather an interesting manner. The boy stopped for luncheon and a little rest under hemlock that he knew well, for, the spring before, a

THE HOPE OF MISFORTUNE.
 Pain is soul tonic. Sorrow often brings out the best there is in us. Hap- piness does not develop character. IL gives it surface brightness and decks it with prismatic bubbles. It takes the deep reaching arm of misfortune to trouble the depth and bring out the peals that lie there The most mag netic faces are lined by thought and noble care. Strong, unselflsh love. even if misplaced and unappreciated. ennobles the lover. It is the frivolous. vanity born emotions that fritter away character and make faces insignificant To fail in high aim after earnest and honest effort is not failure. The gain it brings in strength and discipline will appear in other directions. Mis- fortune has often in the history of the world been the means of making a poet, orator philanthropist, scientist. or statesman out of person whost career but for the misfortune or pliysi- cal disability would have been com monplace and influence limited. .-Afedi- cal Talk.
