Although the open season on deer
does not go into effect until October
1, or more strictly speaking October 2,
as the month comes In on a Sunday,
many hunters are eagerly waiting for
the time to come when they may take
their arms and equipment and HE
themselves to the. big woods Among
the many hunters from Augusta WHO
annually take the warpath after big
game few are more successful than q
coterie Of four who might apt.y be
called the Courthouse bunch" three
of them being high up IN tho practice
Of the law, while the fourth is q coun-
ty official who records the ;,oinys Ct
the courts, which hold their terms in
the courthouse. These four 'sentl"men
are planning to visit their tavorite
hunting ground at about the same
time that their last years pilgrimage
was made and are getting their kits
together in order to have them ready
when needed. They like to talk about
the coming trip, and when one Of the
four, who has the prefix Associate
Justice" attached to his name, met a
friend Friday morning at the railroad
station the latter had no trouble In
getting some information relative to
the skill Of the different members Of
the party when 1t came to killing deer,
for when in the course Of converse
ton the friend advanced the suppose
ton: Il s'pose all Of your party are
good shots, aren't they?" the justice
replied in the affirmative. YES" he
said, with a becoming degree Of mod
esty, Judge Fogg is a fine shot. and
another thing about him-he can trav-
ell anywhere in the Maine woods and
never need the services Of a guide.
Charles Jones is another mighty good
shot, and Judge Beanie Is a good one
better than I am" It was amusing
to see the justice clothe himself witt,
veil of modesty wnen 1t came to
the mention Of his own craftsmanship.
for all Of his friends say that he can
shoot and as Judge Beane is known as
a dead shot in the woods. 1t leaves the
Justice plenty Of room to be good
shot and still be secure In bis. modest
statement.

ALCOHOL AND MENTAL DISEASE

lack of disastrous results. Such state ments have resulted from a lack of definite knowledge, or incomplete knowledge, which has now been large ly overcome by careful study and eX- perimental work during recent years. The action of alcohol upon the nervous system especially has been the sub ject of much careful investigation, and we are now in a position to as sert certain definite facts regarding it. such facts are of a sufficiently ap- palling character as to render exag- geration unnecessary.
 Staying the Tide
 It is by the reEteration of proven facts that the tide ot alcoholic intem- perance can best be stayed. An intel lectual appeal is necessary to make a lasting impression upon an alcoholic individual. It is true alcoholics react readily to emotional appeals, as the emotions are overactive in such indi- viduals, and frequently partially in toXicated person will sign the pledge under emotional stress. The emotions of such a person are, however, but tranSitorY. and hence, as mental inn pressions made through purely emo

Often occurring unexcepted- ly, 1t was thought little could be done to avert such 8 calamity. We now know, however, that mental disease is asstruly an effect following definite cause as is the case with physical dis
 ease, upon which in fact 1t may be de- pendant. While 1t is not always pos sible to trace the causal train of events to5their beginning, the cause of mental disease can be established in a large proportion of cases, and 1t has been found by the National Committee for Mental Hygiene that approximately one-half of all the patients suffering from mental disease in this country have developed their disorder because of theoretically preventable cause.
 Of all preventable causes of mental disease none exceed alcohol in disas- troUs results Many unfounded and exaggerated statements have been nls}de regarding the effect of alcohol upon the human mind and body, both as regards specific evil effects and the

EngIand's Cat Epidemic.

A mysterious disease has broken out among the cats at Witham, Essex County, England, and has already caused over 100 deaths this month.
 When first detected it was thought the cats were being poisoned, but the deaths Of cats were reported all over the town simultaneously and it has now been established that some high ly contagious disease is the cause. In a day.
 So great has been the loss of cats that those owners who have so far preserved their pets at Witham are now taking measures to isolate them at home from other cats. A curious feature of the disease is that all, the known cases have proved fatal, there having been no recoveries when once the cats have been affected.

Alexander's Storehouse

Hamadan seems to be certainly the Ekbatana, the summer residence of the ancient Persian kings. where AIexan- der the Great stored his enormous loot from Persia estimated at over G41,- O0O, 900. But there is typographical difficulty about identifying it with the earlier and still more interesting Elk batana described by Herodotus-the city where the first Median king. Dei- oces, realized the ideal of royal isola- tion by shutting himself up in a pal ace on top of a hill, surrounded by seven fortified circles of different col ors descending the slopes in order, and allowing the inhabitants of these to communicate with him only by writ ing. Either this story is a myth or the Ekbatana of Herodotus is to be found on a hill between Hamadan and Tab rtz.-London Chronicle

System Adopted In 1898.

The present system of classification of mental diseases was adopted by the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane in 1898, prior to which time the various types Of alcoholic insanity were not recognized as distinct entities, except in isolated instances, and hence sta- tistics are unavailable. Considering however, the period from 1898 to 1914 1t Is found that 6,732 patients were admitted, of whom 932 or 13.s per cent tai disease directly dependent upon al- cohol. Our statistics show the usual disproportion between the sexes. While but 139 or 4.43 per cent of the S,1OT women admitted during tho period mentioned were insane from alcohol, 79S men out of the 3,625 male patients admitted so suffered, they constituting 21.8 per cent of all male admissions.
 Of the 932 cases of alcoholic insan- ity admitted to our hospital during the sixteen years under consideration, but 297 or 31.9 per cent recovered, 625 or whom 140 died as insane patients.
 The most essential part of the treat ment of alcoholism in any of it's forms Is prevention. As has been well said, "one drunkard prevented Is worth many fractionally saved.'' Hence the necessity of emphasizing to the young before the formation of alcoholic habits the fact that all the varied and disastrous effects of alcohol may fol- low even moderate drinking just as directly as infectious disease may fol- low exposure to infection. Not all persons exposed to smallpox contract the disease. but that does not induce any one to run the risk of needless exposure. Every drinker is exposed to the danger of possible alcoholism. The beginning drinker is a potential ineb- riate and a potential sufferer from some one of the varied forms of al- coholic insanity.

the hospitals of this country are suf- fering from some form of alcoholic mental disease.
 The sexes, however, are uneVenly di- Vided, and while women with alcohol ic insanity constitute but from five to ten per cent of the total number of insane patients admitted, the men so suffering constitute from twenty to thirty per cent, satisfies, of course, varying with the character and habits of different populations. In the neigh boring state of Massachusetts there were received last year in the various state hospitals 2,9S6 patients suffering from a first attack of insanity, of which 465 or 15.5 per cent were insane from some of the various forms of all coholic insanity. In New York state there were admitted last year to the various state hospitals approximately 5000 new cases, of which number 925 or 15.3 per cent were suffering from alcoholic insanity. The usual dispro- portion between the sexes was ob- served, the women constituting but 7.6 per cent of the total number of pa hents admitted, while the men con- situted 22.2 per cent of the total num- Der admitted Such figures represent only cases of distinct alcoholic insan- ity, but in 34.6 per cent of male admis- stons and in III per cent of female ad- missions, alcohol appeared either as a habit disorder or as contributory etological factor.

Robert Warwick, Clara Whipple and
Gerda Holmes in Sudden Riches" an
original photoplay written by E. Rich
ard Schayer, dealing with an unusual
theme, that of a rich old man making
his nephew his sole heir, th1t it might
disrupt his family, cause strife be-
tween the nephew and his wife, and
otherwise break up the little family.
How the little child brought about a
reconciliation after two years Of dissi-
patton by the father and mother, af-
fords a great climax for this unusually
fascinating story.
Sudden Riches deals with the
greatest wish that has been wished
the greatest number of times by the
greatest number of people, which is as
follows: "Oh, If some one would only
die and leave me a lot of money!"
With this original theme one of the
greatest heart gripping pictures has
been made, and one that will linger
longer as the greatest problem play,
because there is properly executed
climax, in which the problem is an
swered and not left to the audience to
solve.

GOOD ROADS INCREASE
LAND VALUES

The United States Department of
Agriculture has Investigated the effect
of good roads on land values in differ
ent localities and finds the result has
been a material increase. In Spott-
sylvania county, Virginia, investiga-
ton for a mile on both sides Of the
roads showed an increase in land VAL
ues Of 63 to 80 per cent. In, Dinwiddie
county the increase was from 68 to-
1874 per cent; in Lee county 20 to 80
per cent; in Franklin countys New
York, the increase varied from 9 to
ia per cent; in Dallas county, Ala
bama, from SO to 100 per cent; and in
Manatee> county, Florida from SO to
100 per cent
In the last named county the in
vestigators found that the increased
value was more than twice the value
Of the bonds issued for road improve
ment.
It is to be hoped that in every case
the increased land value was made the
sole source of revenue to pay for these
improved roads. That should have
been done, since the owners Of these
lands got practically the entire finan-
cial benefit. But it is much to be
feared that non-land owners were lev
led upon for some of the expense. At
any rate there are more places in the
United States where the wrong way
would have been followed than where
the expense would have been placed
on those who draw the financial bene.

ICE SKATING, ONE OF OLDEST
SPORTS, RETURNS TO FAVOR

of Washington were full Of children
and their elders playing diabolo-
Though that was only five or six years
g or t~hereabout. many persons will
have to tax their memories to recall
the two short, slender sticks, the long
cord connecting them and the spool
which was balanced on that string,
flung into the air and caught again on
the String-that is. a great many per-
sons tried to do this. but the number
of those who succeeded in doing it was
relatively small Perhaps it was the
difficulty of the game which gave it
such brief popularity. But many per-
sons were mad over dial olo for a
spell, and then the nadine passed.
Pictures of children playing diabolo
In the streets and parks of Paris. Lon
don. New York and Washington were
~faVorite and attractive subjects in the
Photographic supplements of the Sun
day newspapers.
The ice skate has come back" 1t
never altogether went out of existence.
but its popularity with the mass of
skating in this latitude was confined
mainly to boys of the old-fashioned
type. Though the winter has been mild
thus far, rdW dealers and other
merchants who handle ice skates are
reported to have had their stock of
skates cleared out or very much re-
duced by an unprecedented demand.
Ice skaters are being featured in the
picture sections of newspapers: ice car
nivals are being held or projected in
many cities, and ice-skate dancing is
holding out allurements to SO many
persons that the report is that dancers
are deserving the waXed floors for the
ice and that they are tripping the mer-
ry measures of the dance on ice skates.
The sport of ice skating is very re-
spectacle in the matter of age. 1t is
written that bones tied under the feet
nave been used since history was re
corded. Metal runners are said to have
come into use about the third century
after Christ The Norsemen and the
Dutch were experts in this pastime at
An early period. and as early as the
twelfth century it was an exceedingly
popular and general sport with the
English. The earliest European colo
nists to the temperate zone of America
brought the sport with them and 1t
thrived in colonial America.

"ASHIONS in sports go out and come
1 In again very much as do fashions

in clothes. OF course, there are GER
ain Limitations or reservations in the
out and come in again, because there
are some forms of sport that have per
ished from the earth and there are no
signs of a revival in them, but it would
be only prophecy. and perhaps rank
prophecy, to say that they will never
more return to favor. Sometimes a
sport which disappeared in the long
ago and was believed to be dead re-

Last summer there were indications
that the hearts and thoughts of many
men and women were swinging back

which was long held in affectionate

and balls with stripes of red. black,

wiekets that were so wide to look
upon, but so narrow when one sought
to send a ball through them. There
was more croquet playing last sum
mer than there had been in years, and
the friends of this pastime say that
next summer more persons will be
pla ying it than pla yed it last summer,
and thai in the summers TO come still

it, and so on until 1t becomes once
again the popular game it was in the
