The deer hunting season In this state
is happily over. Hundreds of pretty and
inoffensive little animals, half don,esti-
Gated and very friendly to man, have
been butchered TO make n weeks holiday
and some venison for Massachusetts
There can have been mail skill In the
killing OF such creatures, and about as
much excitement as would he afforded
by shooting calves in a pasture.
All over the western part OF the State
tho newspapers are calling for no more
OF mis- sort OF thing. Those in close range
OF the slaughter call it a brutal and de-
moralizing thing, a thousand lines more
harmful than the ~depredations OF the
ocer on crops and vegetables. The Spring
ield Republican calls upon the people Ia
st down and think the matter over, and
All lovers ~ nature and her beautiful
WOODS children will heartily second the
motion.

TOWER OF LONDON.
The Perfect System by Which lts Treasures Are Guarded.

The Tower of London has the most perfect system of burglar alarms that has yet been devised.
 From Scotland Yard, from the gov srnor's headquarters and from othes places known only to few respon. slble officials the whole Tower can be closed electrically within a few sec onds. Eveu the ponderous gates at the middle tower. which weigh some tons and through which visitors pass. swing to automatically. and the escape 0f every one within is instantly barred At the same time an alarm bell rings to warn wardens, police and soldiers In particular the precautions in the apartment containing the crown jew els are of a most scientifically elabo- rate kind. One of the beefeaters on duty in the room has merely to press button. whereupon the heavy door closes, the alarm bell below rings. the other gates slam to and lock. and every person within the tower is instantly cut off from the outer world.
 '"The man who can get away with any of the crown jewels deserves them" observed Tower official "From where l am standing l could close every important door and gate In the Tower in as short time as it takes to utter these words"
 It was mainly to insure the safety of tue crown jewels that the system was installed.
 No order had been issued for the closing of the Tower on q recent Sat urday when. greatly to their alarm, the visitors found doors locked. bolted and barred against them for about ten minutes. preventing any one leaving the Tower
 "The Tower simply closed-that is aH." remarked an official. Who caus- ed it to do so We do not know. 1t might have been Scotland Yard. where the dressing of button would inn prison every soul within tbe Tower un til the police gave the signal for their release. or it might have been the governor. anxious to learn whether we were n!l at our posts. At any rate. it was none of the minor officials.
 "In fact. who closed the Tower and why is secret known only to the highest authorities. There was no alarm. no attempt to seize tue crown jewels" "-Lontlon Mail
