Deer Become a Nuisance.

Either a closed season for cabbages,
says the New York Press, or else less
mercy for the poor, dcar deer, is the
cry just now of many Long Islanders.
who are waking up each morning to
FIND their kitchen gardens have been
used during the night as feeding
grounds by the animals which the law
permits to be turned into venison only
at rare and brief intervals. All through
Suffolk county deer have destroyed
vegetables thai would have brought
been marketed; out the animals may
not be shot or otherwise destroyed. and
the truck farmers have to permit them
to eat the hearts out OF their choicest
cabbages, with only the. most distant
hope of ever profiting by the sleek fat
ness the deer attain.
1T seems rather unsportsmanlike to
pursue deer with clubs and room
sticks" said Captain John Burr, of
Oakdale, who mas been one of the prin-
cipal sufferers from the depredations,
but it il a CASE of protecting ourselves
rather than hunting the deer. We have
to keep watch il our fields and fairly
throw sticks and tones at them to keep
any Of our garden stuff for our own
use. If a COW persisted in coming into
my cabbage patch and eating the
hearts out of all my winter cabbages,
tina cow would soon become beck
steaks, but the deer seem to know they
are safe. They stop at no barrier,
leaping the highest fences a mans
purse will enable him to build"

Jewel of Great Price.

When the pearls are taken from the
dead fish they are first sorted according
to sibe. This is done by passing them
through a set of ten small brass sleeves,
called baskets, with meshes of varying
sizes. Pearls of the first class that are
perfect both in sphercity and in lustre
are called ami. Those of the second class,
that to the average observer seem equally
without flaw, are anitari: the most of the
pearls we see in the West and on general
sale come under this head. OF the third
class, called masaullu, are those that are
somewhat irregular III shape and a trifle
''off" In color, bat that are valuable for
use in clusters and are largely used by
eastern artiicers in mountings of various
sorts. Rural is the double or twinned
pearl, which when of good lustre and suf-
f1ciently freakiSh shape is sometimes enor-
mously valuable. In this. class the most
wonderful specimen on record is the great
Southern Cross pearl, which is in reality
nine pearls, naturally grown together and
forming a perfect cross an inch and a half
long. 1t was found off the coast of west
ern Australia in 1874. Many seed pearls
and reiections-called vadivu-are gener-
ally ground into chunam and used as an
Ingredient in a favorite sweetmeat. From
China, also comes a heavy demand for
seed pearls and in India bushels of them,

QuASH FARMERS JURY

Chicago, Feb. ,26.-The retria1 of the
STANDARD Oil company, of Indiana, was
unexpectedly delayed when Judge An
derson, In the United States district

verdict may be reached"
Judge Anderson said he would hear
the argument of counsel as to whether
shipments OF settlements of freight
charges constitute the offense. The
government will contend that each
shipment of oil on which an alleged
rebate was paid forms a separate vio-
lation OF the law. Under this construc-
ton of thel law it would b. possible to
fine the defendant, if found guilty, a
maximum of 10000, 900. There was. it

charges on these shipments. Accept
ing this view, a maximum fine of $780,
600 is possible.
The jury commission was ordered to
produce the new panel Thursday.

EXPECTS SMALLER BUT
BETTER NEWSPAPERS

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 27.-Schools
of journalism, qualifications for news
paper work and newspaper independ-
ence We're discussed by Hart Lyman in
the second and final of the Bromley
lectures at Yale.
Mr.. Lyman said there never was a
better time perhaps than now to begin

of quantity, but soon a higher value
may be put on quality. He was hope
ful that the e notable change in the
newspaper world would be a return to
smaller papers. Every element enter
ing into their composition might cost
more than now,~ excepting the print pa
per, which would cost less because less
of it would be. used.
There would come also, Mr.. Lyman
thought, a clearer perception Of what
is intrinsically worth printing. II the
country is not getting tired of the jour
~nalistic scoop net. it ought to be.
