Deer Hunters and Posted
Lands.

A good many hunters, says local
observer, have the idea that with
licenses in their pockets they can
shoot deer anywhere, signs or no
signs. They should disabuse them
selves of this mistaken and expen
sive notion before next Monday
morning. Sportsmen are allowed
to shoot deer on their own lawn if
they wish. but without permission
of the owners they cannot fire gun
on any posted lands. That is the
law of the case. The penalty for
shooting on posted land is fine of
ten dollars and in addition whatever
sum may be assessed as damages for
trespass.
1t is cafe to say that from 100 to
$50 land owners III this section have
posted their premises against deer
hunting. This action is taken
quite as much in the interest OF self
protection and the safety of farm
animals as for the preservation of
deer. Safe and sane hunters will
undoubtedly, in many instances, be
given the privileges Of posted lands,
but reckless sportsmen are warned
off by the signs and the law backs
up the owner in any complaint
against such intrusion.
Deer hunters are advised to stop
and read.

Tho Toes OF Those That Perch and OF
Those That Run.
Let us note that the art of standing
began with birds. Frogs sit, and. as
far AS l knew. every reptile. be 1t liz
ard, crocodile, alligator or tortoise. lays
It's body on the ground when not actu-
ally carrying II. And these have each
foursfat legs. Contrast the fiamingo,
which, having only two, and those like
willow wnnds. tucks up one of them
and sleeps poised high on the other,
like tulip on It's stem.
Note also that one toe has been alto
gether discarded by birds as superfu-
Gus. The germ or bud must be there,
for the Dorking fowl has produced a
afth toe under some influence OF the
poultry yard. but no natural bird has
more than four.
Except IN swifts, which never perch,
but cling to rocks and walls, one Is
turned backward, and by cunning
contrivance the act of bending the leg
draws them all automatically together.
So hen closes its toes at every step
It takes, as IL 1t grasped something.
and, of course. when 1t settles down on
it's roost they grasp that tight and hold
1t fast till morning.
But to birds that do not perch this
mechanism is only an incumbrance. so
many OF them, like the plovers, abolish
the hind toe entirely. and the prince OF
all two legged runners, the ostrich. has
got rid of one of the front toes also,
retaining only two.-London Strand

Counterfeit Antiques Openly Manu-
featured In Italy.
Speaking Of the manufacture of
counterfeit paintings In Italy, writer
in the National Review says that some
times genuine old pictures are really
discovered In peasants houses, but
rarely In good condition.
The peasants have disastrous trick
of rubbing pictures with onions to
clean them. BY SO doing they take of
not only the varnish, but the precious
patina and certain colors, In many
eases leaving only the mere gold back
ground (supnosing the picture is Of
that date) and the more deeply incised
lines. These wrecks are eagerly bought
for trifie by art dealers. who employ
skilled experts to restore or rather to
remake them on the basis Of the origi-
nal outlines.
Pictures OF the early period with
gold backgrounds and quaint drafts
manship are regularly manufactured,
especially at Siena, where the panels
can be seen openly drying before the
shop doors. Their foundation is a pan
oil properly worm eaten and chemically
aged, painted on the gesso ground that
was the basis for all pictures Of that
epoch and to which they owe their lu-
minous qualities.
Such pictures are often made up out
of a number of really old but ruined
pictures and are an ingenious puzzle
that require dexterity, taste and knowl-
edge to construct.

DISCIPLINE.

Tho Way Binks Tried II on His Six
months old Baby.
Binks had sent Mrs. Binks on a visit
to her mother. and he was on the job
with the six-months-old baby.
In the night the baby woke and
cried. Binks looked at his watch
three-quarters of an hour till bottle
time. He said to himself:
LET him yell. He's healthy little
Indian. and he must be disciplined"
Then Binks tried to sleep.
But Binks couldn't sleep. Every cry
grew more pathetic and abused and
heartsick and discouraged. Each cry
said more and more plainly: II have
no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy
to be good to me-"
But Binks. the stubborn and stiff

stabbed him clear through.

laid that baby beside him on the pill

for six unbroken hours.
