Tuckerton and other points. Recently
three deer, chashed by dogs, took to the
bay and swan to the beach. Next

dotted with islands for their passage.

food is becoming scarce in hewoods, the

are multiplying is evidenced by the fact
that several have been seen with fawn

How Trunks are Smashed.

A man who has paid money for a
trunk dislikes to see it dropped four feet
out of a car door to a cement platform.
1t damages the trunk and rattles its con-
tent The handling of trunks is not
ribbon counter business, and after 4
man has handled 100, 900 of them he
naturally becomes somewhat calous.
But each mans trunk is valuable to
him, if not to the baggage-man, and
there would seem to be no more reason
for deliberately breaking up trunks than
for killing ChiDemen because there are
so many of them. This is one reason
when thoughtless person carries dyna
mite in his trunk and it goes off and
blows the top of the station about mil
lion feet into the air that the travelling
public reads of the accident with chast-
ened joy aud inwardy hopes that the
baggage smashsr went along with The
top of the station.

Decoy for Squirrels.

Squirrels this year are more plentiful
than ever known before. One man, Mr..
Williams, is known to have killed moro
than any other two huntsmen. He has
already killed 1856. He had three cheap
watches He would get into the woods
and 90 to two hickory trees where the
squirrels feed: He would wind the
watches up, put them in small tin can
and 20 each can a string. Then each was
tied to the limb of a tree. Then be
would get in some secluded spot. As
the watches would tick away the noise
was like that of a squirrel cutting nut
and could be heard for a great distance.
Every squirrel in the neighbOrhood would
be drawn to the trees, where they sup
posed their companions were having a
big feast In this way every squirrel has
been killed by being decoyed in those
two trees by this new device. Mr.. Will
liams says he has seen as many as six at
a time running around the limbs where
the watches were fastened - Richmond

THE New York dentist who charged
Prince Henry of Battenburg one thou
sand dollars for filling four of his teeth
is coming in for rounds of censure and
abuse from those well informed as to the
circumstances. From what is published
of the matter, the charge was most *
orbitaut one, though the bill was paid
without question by the prince. The
dentist evidently acted on the theory
that he would never have another
chance at the prince, so got all there
was any chance of getting. 1t is need
less to say that the lady who recon-
mended the dentist TO the prince will
never make similar recommendation
again.
