GUNNERS, LICENSES.

Although the cunning season in
this State has not fairly opened. the
State has thus far issued over 5000
licenses to gunners in all parts of the
State. And it is expected that when
the season is on in full swing the most
roseate expectations of those who
framed the law which went into effect
IN July will be fulfilled. Under the
law residents OF the State are not per-
mitted to take or shoot game until
they have first obtained license from
the County Clerk. A person is per.
mitted to go cunning on his own
property but when he goes into Other
territory he must have his permit
This is done that there may be lesl
indiscriminate slaughter of game,
and that the use Of guns may be pro
hibited those who are not competent
to handle gun.

Butter Ia Saar.

Rural Reporter in the Newark Sun
day Call says "that butter will be 60
cents a pound by Christmas. That
means COW butter from the farm. OF
course the cottonseed oil butter, the
petroleum and the rancid butter that
has been washed in lime water and
acid, and then picked and churned
over again, will go up corresponding
ly. The butterine, oleomargerine
and renovated butter are more profit
able to sell than the creamery or dairy
article. Some grocers in Newark buy
real butter for their private use and
get it from other grocers who don't
handle the doctored stuff. You can't
get any OF them to admit that they
sell washed butter or the fake articles,
but they know enough to buy good
butter for their own tables.

suit in the Court of Chancery Tuesday
against the Delaware River Quarry
and Construction Company for an in.
junction restraining the defendant
from using dynamite and blasting in
its quarries in way that interferes
with the comfort and safety of the
complainant.
The complainant alleges that the
blasting has been conducted in man
ner to endanger her home which is
near the quarry, ON the road from
Lambertville to Stockton. She charg-
es that at times the blasting has been
so heavy as to terrify her family, give
them all a headache and shake the
house. She says she demonstrated
with Robert A. Montgomery, presi-
dent of the company, but that he re-
piled that the blasting would go on
and if Mrs. Parent was looking for
trouble she would get it.

A TALL SNAKE STORY

One of the biggest snake stories OF
the season Is reported from a Penn
sylvania county. Here IT is:
John Bendig, of Clinton, set fire to
heap of brush in his meadow to clean
it up. and when he was on the way
back to the barn he was startled by a
tremendous kissing and whistling.
Looking back he saw scores of long
blacksnakes gliding from the burning
brush and wriggling up into the
branches OF dead oak tree. They
kept coming as long rs he looked, till
the huge trunk OF the tree itself seem
ed to squirm with life. Bendig hurried
to Jacob Zacher's place and got two
boys. to go back with him to the
meadow, and take their rifles with
them. They blazed away at the rep
tiles IS fast as they could load and FIRE
and when they got through there
were ninety-three dead reptiles.

WOMAN A DRUDGE BY USELESS
WORK.

Many 4 woman works herself into
her grave unnecessarily 1t is possible
to keep house in order with certain
amount of housework, but there is no
limit to the amount one can do for the
said house if one has mind to.
There is always something To sweep
up or polish or fetch and carry, and the
woman who makes a slave Of herself TO
her home has an unfortunate eye for
endless work.
Sometimes, too, it is case where
the head does not save the hands.
For instance, a woman trudges any
number Of times from the dining
to the kitchen, when, by using tray,
she could carry all the soled dishes at
| once
She goes up the stairs two and three
times for the different things when she
could by putting her mind to it do
them in one trip. She spends hours
rubbing up a copper or galvanized
boiler when an annual coat OF paint
would surely keep it looking clean and
attra ctive.
And then there is the matter of fancy
cooking. The woman who does her
own housework should not make des-
serts or anything but the plainest dish
es. Her family has no right to expect
it of her.
Plain cooking is the most nourish-
ing, but it need not be monotonous on
that account. There are plenty of
simple dishes that are appetizing,
dozens Of good salads and fruits, so
that rich pies and pastries need not be
missed.
