With the 1916 baseball season fast
drawing to 4 close, the bugs are
watching the teams in the organized
leagues with unusual interest from
day to day. Many of the teams have
already played 800 games, which
gives them "a more to play before
completing the schedule.
The race in the National league is
especially interesting. inasmuch as
there are three teams well to the fore
and all going strong. Brooklyn has
somewhat the edge on the betting at
present and stands first. with per
centage of $50. having played los
games. won IS and lost 10. This per-
centage was taken yesterday and the
games played yesterday are not con-

lynites close chase and stand .596.
Philadelphia coming right behind,

armed burglar broke into Phil Smiths
poolroom at Goodrich early this morn

clerk, at the point of gun, went
through the cash register.
Entrance was gained through an ad-

garage floor at the time, but was not
aware of the burglar until the latter
stumbled on him.
The burglar obtained little cash for
his work. He escaped.

Strawberry Nose.

The most distressing of facial de formities, rhinophyma, which is char acterized by much swollen and red dened tip of the nose, making this look like huge strawberry or piece of caulifower that has been dipped in beet juice, may be cured by simple operation. Sir William Milligan of the Royal inirmary, Manchester, England, describes this in the London Lancet
 The operation consists in cutting of all the hypertrophied tissue, while the nasal passages are kept extended with absorbent wool in order to preserve their contour. Care is taken to avoid injury to the lateral cartridges, and only two insignificant blood vessels re- quire tying. The raw surface is GOV cred with two thin gratis of skin cut from the patients thigh, over which a sheet of gold leaf is placed and dry dressing fastened with adhesive plas- ter. It should be possible to remove the dressing in five days.

Thuas of ftndTa.

Among the countless varieties of criminal which infest the large cities you are doubtless familiar with the one commonly designated by the name thug" a rufhan who would stab a person in the back for a few cents. The name thug" is derived from the old religious order that f1ourished in India unmo1ested up to about 1886 Thuggee was practiced by religious fanatics, whose creed prohibited the shedding of blood. Any human sacri- flee which might be offered to the god dess Kali must be slain without the breaking of the skin or the appearance of one bloodst9in. Usually the thugs masQueraded as pilgrims or peddlers, got the confidence of their victims and then strangled them by means of 8 rope, a handkerchief or an unwound turban. They were then buried in shallow graves, dug with a consecrat- ed pickax, and a third of the plunder was laid on the altar of Kali, their barbaric deity.-St. Louis Globe-Dem- ocraC.

rivalry between SpOrtSmen and. farm CTS in some sections to have their op- posing views reflected in the game laws. The interests of the two class es do not seriously differ, however, for as the author, D. E. Lantz, Assistant Biologist, points out, when rabbits are closely hunted, losses from their de- predictions are usually reduced to a minimum. Still there is danger that in years favorable for their increase the animals may inflict injury to trees during severe winters.
 Cottontai1 rabbits ordinarily prefer the succulent foods, such as young shoots, tender garden vegetables, c1o- yer, alfalfa, and fallen ripe fruits. During summer drougnts or when deep snows cut off their ordinary food supplies, however, the animals attack the bark of growing trees and shrubs, and may do great damage in the or chard
 Rabbits as game are protected, ac- corcing to reports (1915), by close seasons in 20 States, in the District ee Columbia, and in the Canadian prov inces shown in the appended table. Twenty y-eight States, Alaska, and the other Canadian provinces do not pro- tect rabbits of any kind. Tn Kentucky rabbits may be taken by the dog, trap, or snare at any time; in Wis consfn l46 counties, mostly in the suthern half of the State, do not pro- tect rabbits; while in California only cottontai1 or bush rabbits are protect ed. Fortunately for the farmer, however, in about half the States that have a. close season for rabbits the laws permit farmers and fruit growers to destroy the animals to protect crops or trees. Such provision might well be incorporated in game laws of all States For lack of it farmers have sometimes suffered severe losses, and not a, few have been compelled>to pay fine for trying to protect their prop erty from rabbits. Tn States that pro- tect rabbits it is well for the farmer to be acquainted with the game laws and in case of doubt to have a clear understanding with local and State game wardens before undertaking to destroy rabbits.

The whole re- zion is parceled out among race frac- tions, some of which are no larger than a hamlet.
