Headlight Hunting in Minnesota

T loiii tIc Idui lDlSpdiCh
 Hunting big game in northern Minne- sota at night with the aid Of headlights is in quite general progress and has been for several weeks. despite tue fact that deer and moose cannot legally be killed until November 10, and the further fact that it is illegal at any time to hunt with a headlight.
 A remarkable incident happened in this connection on the Vermillion range re- gently. when a man hunting with a head light killed two horses, thinking he was getting moose or deer. The hunter paid s3oO for his experience to the owner of she horses. n
 There are many deer this season and moose are plentiful north of Lake Vermil- lion. Reports from Buhl on the Lake Mes- aba range are to the effect that many headlight hunters are operating in that vicinity. Twelve carcasses of deer have been found, each animal having been shot between the eyes. This is proof ot the use of a headlight. The hunters ap- parently were loath to bring in whole carcasses of deer for fear they would be reported. They cut out the choice meat and left the remainder to the buzzards and wolves. ai. '1l

Breaking It Gently

From the Detroit News Tribune.
 A lady who had recently moved to the suburbs was very fond of her first brood of chickens. Going out one afternoon she left the household in charge of her S. year-old boy. Before her return a thun- derstorm came on. The youngster forgot the chicks during the storm and was dls- mayed after it passed to find that half oi them had been drowned. Though fearing The wrath to come, he thought best tc make q clean breast of the calamity, rather than leave it to be discovered.
 Mamma" he said, contr.tely, when his mother had returned; mamma, six of the chickens are dead.'' af
 'Dead"' cried the mother. i"Six. How did they die?''
 The boy saw his chance.

Making Bricks That Float

From the New York World.
 There is no particular demand at the present time for bricks that will float, and it does not seem probable that there ever will be. And that is the very req son why the new floating brick will be looked upon as a curiosity.
 It is a real brick. made for building construction, and the only queer thing about it is that 1t floats like a block of wood when thrown into the water. The brick has been designed for use as an in- sulation in the construction of cold stor- age plants, brewing and refrigeration pants, and is meant to take the place of cork, flax, charcoal, fiber and sawdust, all of which are imperfect insulating mate rtals. It has been found that the use of the latter has often been attended by rot and foulness. The new floating brick, in waterproofing, is so burned that 45 per cent of its volume is confined air, with the result that it's specific gravity is less than that of water.

 nen the late Amos Cummings was doing newspaper work in New York, said a representative from that city, The owned a home In a row of buildings painted white, a typical Baltimore block. On more than one occasion Cummings made a mistake and got in the wrong house. his mind being occupied with news of the day and wondering if any of the opposition papers would get in scoop on him. He ghrew tired of getting in the wrong pew, and determined that he would end it. One morning there was an ad- Nerrisement in his paper for F first class union painters, and the following day an army of painters went to work on Cum r.ings' house, and it was painted the moss flaming red that eyes ever beheld. Some of tho neighbors and property owners protested. but there was no law to pre-. vent d house owner from painting it just as his fancy dictated.
