Even the children can be taken
along, if they are not Of too tender an
age. and the experience is one that
will be of inestimable value.
In the matter of selecting a likely
place for good moose or deer hunt
ing, there, is almost as wide a range
as if one wanted to go in quest OF
elephants or lions in Africa. A very
large part Of the State Of Maine, with
its 100000 acres of forest land and

found in this corner of America.
Not only has modern lie in the
woods reached the acme of comfort,
with oftentimes a little bit Of gen
uine luxury thrown in, but the wilder.
ness itself has been made accessible
to a degree that would have seemed
improbable 80 or 40 years ago. Rail-
roads are now run through the very
heart of the moose and deer country,
dropping the city sportsman at sta
tons that are but the vestibules OF
the happy hunting grounds. New
t~ote-roads and trails radiate every
where, the water highways swarm
with canoes, comfortable camps are
found on nearly every shore.

1t Is so easy, indeed, and yet so
"real," that it has become the &C
cepted custom for the sportsman to
take along the feminine members OF
his family, after the unselfsh fashion
of the true American. Hundreds Of
women go into the Maine woods now
adays, for big game hunting as we'll as
for fishing, and some of the finest
prizes fall to their aim. Nothing will
so quickly and ef~fectually eliminate a
bad case of nerves" in man or Wom-
an, as a few weeks in the woods, es-
pecially under the bracing climate.
Those who have been brought up
in the woods claim to possess the gift
of prophecy as to the character of the
coming hunting season. Last year
vas one Of the best on record, and
the 1909 season gives every promise
of being even better. One reason for
this belief is found in the fact that
this year has brought an unusually
large crop Of beechnuts.

Parliamentary Pretensions.

Parliamentary ~repartee, as illus-
trated by recent anecdotes in the
Office Window, was ably upheld by
Lord Brougham, especially during
the great reform debates of the last
century. On one occasion, when an
ti-reformers were trying to howl him
down by initiating the sounds made
by various animals, among which the
braying of the ass was most recur-
rent, he waited for a pause, and then
remarked imperturbably that by a
wonderful disposition of nature every
animal had its peculiar mode of ex-
pressing itself, and he was too much
of a philosopher to quarrel with any
of those modes. This was no less Sc
we're than the famous libel on the
Earl Of Limerick. calling him "a
thing with human pretensions,"
which appeared in the Times in 1881.

period in Newgate. london Chroni-

ton into the wilds Of the Dark Con-
tinent will have a far-reaching effect
upon the pastime of hunting in all
civilized countries.
Those who live in large cities-the
last place on earth that one would
naturally associate with anything per-
tanning to the wilderness-are now
adays among the very first to be re-
minded of the approach OF the hunt
ing season, for about this time Of year
the sporting goods, establishments, so
numerous in all large centres, begin
to make their attractive window dis
| plays of firearms, camping outfits and
hunting and tramping paraphernalia,
, not forgetting the guide books and
outdoor works Of fiction; for there is
a literature of hunting to-day, as of
all things else.
In fact, the comforts of life in the
woods in these days form one of the
chief reasons for the wonderful popu-
larity of those exciting and healthful
hunting trips that we soon will be
reading about in every metropolitan
and local paper. There r a few o.
us who really take delight in trough

along the Indian Ocean are to be
found the homes of many little her
NIT crabs, When alarmed they slip
hurriedly into their shells and drop
motionless as if dead. so thai the
noise Of their fall makes a continu-
Gus tinkle as one walks the beach.
"Starishes are often found strand
ed upon our beaches. and in many in
stances these curious creatures ap-
pear dead when really they are alive.
When really dead a starfsh hangs
loose and limp. but, however dead it
may look, if on touching it there are
manifest a frmness and consistency
in it's substance, n may feel reason
ably sure that it is playing the pos

Of ascertaining whether your starry
friend is living or dead is to lay it
upon it's back, when, if alive, a num-
Der of semi-transparent globular OBJ
jects, the animals locomotory or
gans, will be seen to move, reaching
this way and that, as though feeling
for something to lay hold of where
with to restore it to its normal posi-
ton.
Some kinds of beetles, many of
the woolly-woolly caterpillars which
have poisonous hairs on their backs,
and numerous spiders adopt similar
tactics. Even the weed louise has the
same trick and rolls itself into a ball.
One small spider which makes its

Of a very large spider has a curious
way of feigning death when dis

the spider might in this condition be
readily mistaken for a little bit Of
curved twig OF bark"

THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS EVERY YEAR MANIFESTMG
A KEENER INTEREST IN THE QUEST OF Big GAkE
To Crafty This Longing Railroads Are Now Run Through the Very
Heart Of the Moose and Deer Country, Dropping the City Sportsman
at Stations That Are But YeStibules to the Happy Hunting Grounds
THAT WOMEN MAY HUNT Big GAME In MAINE WOODS

One would realize this latter fact
very forcibly could he go behind the.
scenes in the advertising department
of one of the great American rail-
roads serving the Maine and Cana
dian hunting region and see the vast
quantities of booklets and other print
ed matter pertaining to this noble
branch Of sport that are sent to every
quarter Of the Republic, at the re-
quest Of interested parties.
Perhaps it is the feeling that some
day in the not far distant future,
there will be no more moose and deer
to be hunted in Maine or elsewhere
on this continent; but certain 1t Ia
that the American public is every year
%manifesting a keener interest in the
quest of big game, and Is willing to
invest generously of its time and
money in order to crafty its desire
for a set Of antlers, or even a set OF
"snap shots" Of antlered game.
Even a peaceful expedition like

has an unconscious effect upon the
mind Of the born hunter. He yearns
to emulate the intrepid discoverer IN
,bagging musk-oxen and polar bears,
but realizing that these are as far be-
yond his reach as the Pole itself, he
does the next best thing and goes
after moose and black bears in Maine
or New Brunswick. And in his way,
he has just as much fun as DR.. Cook
or Commander Peary-and far more
comfort. .,
With the multiplicity of the camps
has come a marked increase in the
number of professional guides, all OF
them duly registered, according to
law; and in no hunting region in the
world can there be found a finer or
more reliable set Of woodsmen than
these.

The Middle Splash.

He laughed.
I'm its impossibility," he went on,
cit reminds me of Joe Jobson's mid
die splash.
"Joe Jobson, a very ignorant and
pig-headed chap, presented himself
at the church with his infant son for
the christening. The following dia-
logue then took place between job
SOL and the minister:
What name do you give this
child?'

"'Ananias? I refuse to christen

"I won't do It. I will christen
the child Peter Jeremiah Jobson.'
And the minister was as good as
his word. and as he repeated each
name he sprinkled a little water on
the infants face.
"'Ahd I rub out that middle

Gardening.

One of the most successful of the
amateur women gardeners, whose old
fashioned garden is a wonderful
tangle of bloom and perfume through
out the season, says that her success
is due to bringing the clay soil to
terms. When having a bed made she
has 1t first filled in with a three-inch
layer Of sand, then with an equally,
thick layer of sawdust, and last with
q generous amount of fertilizer. The
second year the same rule is followed,
at which time she has planted what
ever hardy plants she wishes to stay
there, the first years planting being
merely for a temporary bloom. The
sawdust rots and enriches the ground
and is almost as beneficial as wood
sshes.-New York Tribune.

Kitchen Supplies.

Keep roasted coffee in tin or glass
and tightly covered. When exposed
to the air or kept too long it loses
both aroma and strength. For these
reasons it should be bought in linn
tied quantities. On the other hand,
green coffee improves with age.
Store salt in a stone jar In dry
place. When desirable to keep hut
ter for any length Of time wrap each
roll in clean muslin, then pack in
brine that will float an egg and weight
down with a heavy plate.
Cover the top of the jar closely.
Lard should be kept In bright tin
pals or cans. Soda and baking pow.
der should be left in the original
packages and kept in Z cool, dry
place. -. ~
Soap should be purchased In guam
titles, %unwrapped and stacked on q.
shelf to harden. When well dried
out its lasting qualities are about
double.-New York Tribune.
