Albany, Nov, I9.-It Is believed that one point
of attack which has heretofore escaped the ef-
forts of Agricultural Department regulations has
been that poisons thrown off by cattle afflicted
with foot and mouth disease have been trans
mitted to other healthy beasts through barnyard
birds, principally sparrows.
The Deputy Commissioner Of Agriculture. AIr.
Flanders. asked the State Forest, Fish and Game
Department to-day if permit 10 poison spar
in infected territory could be secured. He
told that while no such permits were grant
ed, if il could be demonstrated with reasonable
certainty that the sparrows were agents OF
transmission of the disease the fish and game
protectors would not interfere with q warfare
against them.

Lobster Fare,

Hungry Holsters in their natural
state seldom refuse fish Of any kind,
whether dead or alive. The favorite
bait with fishermen Is fresh or stale
herring, but even shark meat is used
at a pinch. HOLSTERS also eat small
crabs, sea urchins and mussels. In
deed, there are few forms Of marine
life suitable for food which they re-
fuse. HOLSTERS sometimes capture fish
alive, striking them with the smaller
Of their two great claws, which for
this reason fishermen call the "quick"
or fish, claw, but they will live for a
long. time, especially when confined
without taking any food. If you tether
the lobster by the large claws, you will
find that, like the muskrat, he will go
off some fine morning, leaving only his
legs in the trap, for this animal has
the remarkable power of shooting

what is still more wonderful, of grow
ing new ones from the stumps left be-
hind.-St, Nicholas.

Writer'S cramp.

Writer'S cramp is q serious matter
to people whose work requires that
they use a pen very much, while for
the unaccustomed writer who takes an
afternoon off now and then to catch I'D
with her correspondence it is, to say
the least very discouraging. The trou-
BILE is more than muscular in this kind
Of cramp. Very often low, nervous
condition will cause it. Then one
should take it as warning that the
system is run down and needs general
toning up. Very often, however, the
trouble is all in the way you hold your
pen. - ~: s.s-a r. :
Children now in school are not like
ly to be troubled with writer's cramp.
because they are taught to hold the
pen lightly and make all the move
ments from the arm instead of the
hand. The old fashioned method
which most Of us learned Of holding
the pen between the thumb and fore
finger is also very likely to encourage
cramp. The muscles become tense
and hard, until finally they contract so
much that all control over them is
lost. The pen should be held between
the first two fingers, we'll up toward
the joint. The trouble may often be
relieved by putting the hand and wrist
into the hottest water one can stand.

The Microscope,

There is good reason to believe that
the magnifying power of transparent
media with convex surfaces was very
early known. A convex lens Of rock
crystal was found by Layard among
the ruins, of the palace Of Nimrud.
And it is pretty certain that after the
Invention of glass hollow spheres
blown of that material were commonly
used as magnihers. The perfection Of
gem cutting shown in ancient gems,
especially in those of very minute
size, could not have been attained
without the use Of such aids to the
eye, and there can be little doubt that
the artifcers who could execute those
wonderful works could also shape and
polish the magni6ers best suited for
their own or others use.-New York

Tenderness of the Hanqinu JUDGE.

Mr.. Justice Hawkins tenderness for
women prisoners was we'll known. He
admitted it, and he had a great dislike
of sentencing these poor creatures to
death who had been recommended to
mercy and would probably be repriev-
ed. On one such occasion the sheriff
asked if he was not going to put on
the black cap.
mo" he answered, II am not. I do
not intend the poor creature to be
hanged, and I am not going to brighten
her to death"
Addressing her by name, he said;
Don't pay any attention to what
am going to read. No harm will be
done to you. I am sure you did not
know in your great trouble and sorrow
what you were doing, and I will take
care to represent your case so that
nothing will harm you in the way of
punishment"
He then mumbled over the words of
the sentence of death so that the Door
