Game Law

the Hunting of Birds and Large
Game in This State and the

AS there seems to be consider
able misunderstanding regarding
the provisions of the new game
law passed by the last legislature
we print this week a copy of the
law regarding the killing of
game birds as taken from copy
of the statutes in our possession.
Many papers have stated the
open season for grouse commenc-
ed yesterday but it will be seen
that the statute law places that
bird among those to be hunted
from September 1st to December
1st.

The scarcity Of help is troubling
many of the farmers materially

Life Was Little Valued.

The 223 capital Offenses which the
old English law recognized as punish
able by death did not keep down crime,
and with the abolition of the death
penalty for all crimes but murder
crime i'll England, as well as every
where else all over the world where
the death penalty has been modified,
lessened markedly, notes the Boston
Traveller. Edmond Burke said that
he could. in his time, obtain the assent
of the House of Commons to any bill
carrying death punishment. In
Burke's day all classes of the COM
munity endeavored, with success, to
have offenses which injured them made
subject to the extreme penalty. 1t
would be difficult today even to imag-
inc a list of 223 crimes which could be
classed as misdemeanors, and this
number i'm England century ago was
not altogether legacy from the dark
ages. because 156 of them were of later
date than the reign of the Georges.
A mans life was not very valuable
in those day. If he scratched his
name on Westminster bridge; if he
wore a wig or false mustache or other
disguise on a public road; if he cut
downa young tree; if he stole prop
crty worth more than s1.25: if he had
been transported for crime and re-
turned a day ahead of the expiration
of his punishment; if he wrote a
threatening letter: if he stole hide
from a tanner's-for any and all of
these things, and for 200 more than
these. he was hanged by the neck un-
til he was dead. The problem of
crime was solved in those days by
putting the criminal TO death on the
theory that there was no hope Of re-
generating a felon, and while he lived
his influence would spread and cor
rupt the community. 1t was better,
therefore, for his own sake, as well as
that of society, that he should be dead.
AS late as 30 years ago there were at
one time in London, So persons, one OF
them a child under 10 years Of age, I'M
der sentence Of death. With certain
crimes the law was not satisfied with
putting the criminal to death, but add
ed the nameless atrocities necessary to
inflict on traitors. Men who had in
any way opposed the Government. af-
ter being hanged. were quartered. and
their Gishonored heads eXposd in pub
lie places on the end of pixies.

Lead BORING Insects.

In January, 1891, attention was d.
rected in Germany to the damage
caused to a lead pipe by the larva of
the wood wasp (sirex gigas) which
was found in stu. The insect, in at
tempting to cat it's way through the
woodwork, made such a determined at
tack upon an intervening pipe as to
result in leakage. 1t was stated at
that time that well authenticated in
stances Of similar injuries to lead
were on record. In a recent issue of
the Western Electrician mention is
made Of insects which have been found
to be the cause of trouble by boring
holes in the lead sheaths Of cables Of
the signaling system used at one OF
the packing plants at Chicago, and il
Illustrations are given of the insects
and of the damaged cable. 1t would
appear likely that the culprit in this
case is the larva of some species of
dermestes, the well-known bacon
beetle. an enlarged representation of
the larvae and of the beetles are
shown 1t is mentioned that these in
scots seem to abound in the places
where the injury occurred. which are
devoted to the storage of bones and
hoofs.
In connection with this matter ii is
observed that in the middle of 1901
there was a report of aerial cables
pierced in Shanghai by a species OF
wasp, and allusion is made to a paper
containing many instances of per.
fOrations produced in this way read by
John Hesketh at the international
electrical congress in st. Louis in the
same year. when much information
was collected concerning the ravages
of insects liable to cause injuries tc
electric cables. Thus we read of a
caterpillar which has been known to
bore hole nearly a quarter of an
inch in diameter through a lead-cov-
cred conductor. 1t is difficult in GER
tain CT these cases. to determine the
object to the insects in such attacks
1t is not certainly, the lead which is
the attraction but something in the in
sulating material must be tempting to
them.-London Times. ,.

Courage and Cowardice.

The other day, for the first time in
police force was dismissed for coward
ice. The circumstances of the dis
missal We're highly dramatic and the
incident has aroused wide comment.
He was stripped of his badge in the
presence of his associates, and the
police commissioner of the city gave
him a tongue flashing which those who
heard it will never forget Then at
the command of the commissioner the
disgraced officer was kicked, not fig
urativcly but literally. from the station
house, among the Kisses and boots of
his former comrades. The cowardice
of which the unfortunate man had been
guilty was so gross that the sternest
kind of rebuke was needed and the
drastic action of the police authorities
was regarded as necessary for the
welfare and good name of the force.
Probably there is no quality more
universal among the men of this
country than courage and yet it is
equally true that no quality is more
fact that cowardice is more often a
misfortune than a fault. the coward is
universally despiscd and reviled. The
policeman. who was dismissed in such
disgrace from the New York force had
been in the service for many years
and in all his earlier record there had
not been black mark against chin.
If all men, especially the men whose
calling frequently brings them face to
face with personal danger, as soldiers.
sailors, policemen, firemen, etc, We're
to be condemned for yielding once in
their lives to a single moment of fear,
how many Of them would be free from
the badge of shame?
Fear is physical and few indeed are
the men who never feel it. Courage
is moral quality, and the brave man
is not the one who has no fear but
the one who is able to overcome his
fear and do his duty in the face of
danger. The greatest soldiers have
confessed fear when they went into
battle, and if the test of a single act
OF cowardice were to be applied to
them as it was to this New York
policeman many of the greatest names
in history would be forever blackened.
No doubt if that New York policeman
were back on the force he would die
with a smile on his face rather than
yield to the impulse of fear which pre-
vented him in that one instance from
doing his duty. Habitual towards, to
whom brave conduct is impossible, are
very rare, but the brave men who
have not felt the impulse of fear at
certain times in their life are still few
err in number.

The Tariff and ShipbuiIdinu.

Some of the Democratic papers have
found q free trade argument in Baths
great shipping celebration this week
Deploring the decline of the building
of American ships for the ocean carry
ing trade, they have proposed reviving
this industry by a grand revision of
the Dingley tariff law which would
put lumber and iron and steel and
cordage and sail cloth on the free list,
everything in fact that the ship
builder buys. This is the wise sug-
gestiOn of the editor of the Waterville
Sentinel, and the editor of the Port
land Argus promptly joins him in de-
claring that the first step toward the
revival of American ship building
should be radical revision of the
Dingley tariff.
In this solemn expression of their
opinion these Democratic editors have
again given evidence that it is not
safe for them to tackle such Il big
proposition as the tariff unless they do
it, as the Sentinel editor usually does.
in a purely humorous vein, without
expecting to be taken seriously. The
Sentinel man, it will be remembered,
recently tried to make his readers be-
lieve that there is duty upon kero-
sene which causes Americans to pay
60 per cent. more for it than it costs
abroad, although as matter OF 1ac'
kerosene is expressly upon the free
list under the Dingley tariff. He also
tried to make the farmers of Maine
believe that the tariff duty Of few
cents upon a crowbar, which VIII last
a lifetime. offsets the advantage given
them by the protection Of their agri'
cultural products under the Dlngle!
law Tn view of these things. it is
rot surprising that the Sentinel talk:
free trade as a means of revivinl
American ship-building. The editor
of the Portland Press, however, ha'
read the Dingley law little more
carefully than our Waterville frien'
| and reminds him that ever since tn
law was passed the American ship
| builder has had free materials. Her
| are sections II and Is of that Law
