For Soft Corns.

After bathing the feet in warm wa

then place absorbent cotton between

Summer Diarrhoea in Children.
During tina hot weather of the sum-
mer months the first unnatural loose
ness of a child's bowels should have
immediate attention, so as to check the
disease before it becomes serious. All
that is necessary Is a few doses of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy followed by a dose of
castor oil to cleanse the system. Rev.
NJ. 0. Strickland, pastor of the First M.

OUR QUAIL FIELDS.
BIRDS BROUGHT HERE FROM KANSAS BY LOCAL SP0RTSMEM

Five Dozen SpeeIkIed Beauties Arrive
 and Many More Will FolIow-Game
 Here Has Been Practically Killed Off
 ITO be Freed Next Spring.
 As result of the scarcity of quail around New Haven for the past few years, and through the efforts of sev- eral New Haven sportsmen to replenish the hunting districts with this game, an assignment of five dozen quail ar rived at the Gun store of John F. Bas- sett yesterday morning for breeding purposes, and will be liberated in the fields this spring.
 The birds were purchased from Charles Payne, a professional trapper, of Wichita, Kansas, at a cost of ten dollars a dozen. The birds arrived here after their long railroad trip in fine conditions This Kansanite makes 8 business of supplying game to districts where excessive hunting has killed off JIlUpL Ol LIlS UllQOp tbAlb oAAAPo LltSAlAi tiA~ der government laws and supervision, for breeding purposes only. This as- signment will be cared for in coops un- til spring.
 Many of the local game lovers have taken an interest in this movement and MT. Bassett anticipates that this ship ment is but a drop in the bucket to what will follow, as the local forests will be almost devoid of quail next fall unless much importing and breeding of the speckled beauties is effected.
 All over southern New England this species of bird is becoming more rare each year, and the Kansas trapper re- ports that he is unable to fill all his orders for stock for this section of the country.

Weird Incident of the Sort for Which

Weird Incident of the Sort for Which
 Le Sueur is Famous
 The following letter from Professor B. J. Yapp, of Rhinelander, Wis, to the Le Sueur Tyre, is of great intrinsic in- terest in its account of the doing of that notorious man Sparks, of Rhine lander. and also interesting because he recalls the fact that this same Sparks is the inventor of the famous Sparks Rat Killer" which is made and opera ted asfollows:
 A mixture of twelve per cent. of dy- namite, seventy-six per cent of oat- meal and five per cent. of glue is rolled into small, hard balls, with a quantity of cayeone pepper in the center. These balls are placed in the way of rats, which eat them greedily till they get down to the pepper, which makes them sneeze violently, and the shock of the sneeze explodes the dynamite and blows the rats into fragments. It will not kill mice, for they do not sneeze hard enough. The letter to the Le Sueur Tyre follows:
 Rhinelander, Wis, October "A man of the firm of Hiram 0. Sparks was taken into custody to-day by the game wardens on Thunder Lake. During the last few days enormous flocks of ducks have been passing over this region. The game wardens have been busy night and day, striving to keep hunters within the limits of the law.
 Thunder Lake seems to be the favor ite lighting place for the large focks from the north and the wardens are there in great numbers. Sparks is an old hunter, and has devised many schemes for the capture of wild game. His arrest followed this last venture, which was very destructive in nature.
 MT. Sparks is the proud father of fourteen boys, all trained in hunting and boating.
 Te distributed the whole family in and around Thunder Lake to gather in the product of his diabolical scheme.
 Early Sunday morning he was ob- served on the lake scattering a sub stance which floats upon the water. An hour later the ducks came in great fiocks from the north and alighted over the field covered with this substance which Mir, Sparks had placed there.
 After feeding for an hour without be- ing disturbed there was suddenly a brisk fire from guns on all quarters of the lake. As the flocks arose from the water great explosions were noted by onlookers and thousands of ducks fell dead in the surrounding swamps and the lake was literally streWn with dead ducks.
 The game wardens were appalled, by such widespread destruction of game, and immediately instituted an investi- gation.
 They found that Mr. Sparks had cov- cred the lake in the vicinity of favorite feeding grounds with mixture con- taining dynamite.
 The ducks being allowed to feed on this for sufficient length of time to fill their crops, the shooting began and the above results followed
 Mr. Sparks is now in custody in this city and is carefully guarded by the shetriff to prevent lynching. The dist riot attorney declares there Is no law covering the procedure Paul Pio- neer Press.
