vERMoNTs AMENDED DEER LAWS

As there seems to be some misunder.
standing regarding the open season for
deer hunting, it may be well to state
that by recent amendment the law fixes
the open season from November 10 to %,
both dates being inclusive and with
Sundays excepted. Only persons holding
licenses shall be permitted to hunt, and
the hours are limited to the period of
five o'clock in the morning to five o'clock
in the afternoon, while the former re.
strictions as to the use of salt-lick, jack.
artificial light, etc, still hold, although
manifestly the prohibition in respect to
the latter is rendered almost Obsolete
because of the hours in which hunting
may be done. Moreover, deer must have
horns of three or more inches in length,
and only one deer is allowed to person.

CALIFORNIA; Complaint.

A recent California law provides for
the commitment to asylums of persons
so far addicted to the Incorporate use
of narcotics or stimulants as to have
lost the power of self-control or are sub.
jeet to dipsomania or inebriety." The
purpose OF the law was evidently excel
lent, and the proposition to put drunk
ards out of the way of working harm
to themselves and others appears to have
met with general approval, but protest
has gone up against CHASING them with
the insane. The people of California are
already somewhat sensitive over the in
sanity figures for their state and do not
want the total increased, which In itself
is certainly reasonable enough 1t is
asserted that California gets more than
her share of the insane of the country,
and the explanation offered is that the
scapegraee who is sent west can get no
farther west than California. thus help
ing to swell the figures Of actual insan-
ity, when, as too frequently happens,
his case goes TO that limit Then, too,
there are many who go TO California in
search of health, but whose continued
illness results in insanity Says the San
Francisco Chronicle: with the figures
due to these causes we have put up
cheerfully, but it is time to voice a
protest when the mere inebriate, who, no
matter how diseased his brain may be- is
not permanently mentally deficient, is
added to the list. Put him in the asy-
lum, by all means, if that is the best
method of treatment, but keep him out
