Poland Not Wild and Desc. ate.

The prevalent Impression in the
west that the operations il Poland
lave been conducted in wild and des-
olate country is curiously wide of the
truth Poland is now more dense.v
populated than any other part of Rds-
sia, and the towns which have figured
in the recent dispatches are centers
of thriving industry. Radon, now
out of sound of the guns, has
large tanneries and distilleries, Ka-
lisz, through which big German col
umn passed to relieve the pressure in
the center, is famous for lace and
embro;deries. Every little town around
which the fighting has ragged has its
own mills, chiefly textile. Poland is
rich in minerals, and its coal field is
Of considerable extent. 1t is not neces-

catamount Robs Farmer.

Adam Sterner, an Augustaville,
Northumberland county (Pa) farmer,
had an experience with huge cata-
mount that almost turned his hair
gray. He was driving to the Supburr
markets with a load of produce. and
was passing through dense woods
when he felt heavy body land on his
wagon; followed by splitting and
-meowing" that were hideous.
Looking bacsz, he saw two big balls
Of fire, tbs eyes of the largest cata-
mount 70 nad ever seen. 1t was paw
ing a. me canvas cover he had over
his load. With revolver, the fright
sned farmer fired twice. At the dis
charge of the weapon the cat jumped
and escaped in the darkness. When
he arrived at the market two. fat
dressed chickens were missing.

War Booms Home Brewing.

The new beer tax in England has
had the effect of reviving the obsolete
art of home brewing in the country
districts. If home brewing becomes
widespread, one Of the main sources
to which Lloyd George has been look
ing to raise funds for the war will
be cut off. The brewing industry
will suffer. Ale can be brewed at
home at 11a cents a pint, or AZ cents
cheaper than it can be bought at a
public bar. Small householders pay
ing less than $50 a year in taxes are
allowed to brew for home use free
from any excise tax. Empty casks
are bought up to store the home
brews, and brewing .coppers are lent
among neighbors.

At almost every legislative session in
ten years the peddler's license bill has
come to annoy the members Of the leg
islature. It seemingly has az many
lives az a cat and refuses to stay dead
after its biennial murder. 1t has been
the cause Of much impassioned oratory
and more or less harsh feeling on the
part of individual members. And now
the 1915 legislature must resurrect the
bill and fight the battle all over again
In his bill this year. Sharpe provides
for peddler's license of from SIS to
