have been no wide spread cpl

There has been a steady adj

For the more permanent value

Think 5000 Deer Killed.
Slaughter Very Heavy This Season.-N
Official Figures as Yet,

Slaughter Very Heavy This Season.-No
Official Figures as Yet.
The deer season is over, Commissioner
Thomas of Stowe has additional help in
his office, sending out blanks for returns
from the different towns of the number
killed and compiling press reports for
comparison with the wardens' reports.
Mr.. Thomas is of the opinion that an
unusually large number of deer have been
killed but ventures no estimate. He
expects that it will be at least a month
before the true figures can be arrived at.
A total of 1855 hunters licenses were
sent out, $40 being issued in Stowe.
This is the record, considering the popu-
lation, so far reported. Unofficial esti-
mates by experienced hunters place the
number killed during the open season at
5000, about twice as manv as in 1908.
The season has been remarkably free
from accidents, when the number OF
hunters out is considered Only one
fatality resulted, Fred harris of West
minister.
Some Bear Killed.
l. l.. McAllister. and A. B. Smalley OF
Warren brought in Saturday black
bear weighing 800 pounds, which they
shot near the Granville line. The fur of
the animal was heavy and prime and H.
o. Kent of Montpelier, the meat dealer,
paid $50 for the skin and carcass. w.
F. Ferreau also shot a smaller bear in
Warren last Friday.
CA. Prouty secured large black bear
on Bromley mountainin Peru. 1t weigh
ed 800 pounds.

A Simple MaN 10 frost Glnss.

Paris, Ajril ga French chem
list has discovered a very simple and
easy way to frost glass The method
is to cover a tumbler or bottle or
other glass object with thin,
smooth and thoroughly laid on Gov
ering of glue. Either very good cab
met makers glue or fish glue Will
serve perfectly The only care that
must be taken is to see that there
are no air bubbles in the glue after
it has been applied and that the coat
ing is uniform and Of even thick
ness over the entire article
Glue thus applied to glass sticks
to it very tightly. Then it begins to
contract as it dries Now, its tight
hold on the glass prevents the lay
ers of glue from contracting without
pulling at the glass, and thus, little
by little the glue Sits and splits tiny
fragments from the surface of the
glass
If certain salts are added to the
glue he effect Is still more beauti-
ful because then the splitting of the
tiny fragments is done In such a
manner that the result forms per-
feet resemblance to frosted window
pane A glass tumbler or flask SO
treated becomes beautiful orna-
ment to the room or the glass cabi-
net
