Work of Destruction.

At Atlanta the collector employs sew
enteen deputies at Asheville fifteen. and
at Columbia, S. c., twenty-eight, many of
these being constantly employed in doing
raiding work. In addition to these
agents and their deputies. nearly 500
possemen have been employed from time
to time within the last few months,
with a number Of guides. These all
work for the most part on information
furnished by informers. The remunera-
ton given by the government for these
services is entirely inadequate to the
dangers involved. for in most cases the
amount paid to the informer does not
exceed So. and rarely, if ever. exceeds
$40. During the year 1908 the amount
paid to the informers and to special posse
men was only $164. and in the year be-
fore only $1S6 Yet the services of these
men have been largely instrumental dur
ing the last eight years in the, seizure
and destruction of about 10000 Illicit dis
tillerieS.
The records of the last eight years show
that the casualties to officers and men
employed in raiding were only eleven, four
of the raiders having been killed. During
this time about 800 persons were ar
rested and large proportion of them
sentenced to prison. Since July there

CURED few weeks ago on the estate
Of George w. Watson at Eastern
Point.
Soon after Mr.. Watson arrived at
his Eastern Point residence a fawn
was born in the grass land around the
residence, the New London Conn

course, there was nothing to disturb
the deer, and they wandered at will
around the estate. When 1t was time
to cut the grass a moving machine
was put to work, and the sharp knife
Of the mower found the little fawn
while it was cuddled up in the herb
age. One leg was cut badly-so badly
that the baby deer was unable to get
away. 1t was taken care Of by Mr..
Watson and the injured leg treated.
The little chap seemed to under
stand that it was in good hands and
responded to the treatment. It was
left where found, and each day the
mother doe came along and attended
to the provision of food, the young
ster gaining health and strength daily
Now the little chap has fully recover

pleased to know that the fawn they
cared for is able to follow its mother

little pet.

Comparison of the size Of Henry
Hudson's ship, the Half-Moon, with
that of the enormous ocean passenger
ships of the present, implies a sug-
gestion that an explorer who would
set sail in a vessel Of only ninety tons
burden was courageous indeed. 1t
would be more just to compare the
Half-Moon with the ships used by ex-
plorers at the present time. Com

was seven and half feet deep. Hud-

about four tablespoonfuls of household
