CATS FOR HUNTING.
Nimrod Has Pack of FeIines to
Track Game.
Trained Like Pointers and Wait TIL
Masters Come Up to Shoot What
They Have Found.

The variety of hounds used in this
country for hunting is larger than
most of us think. The best known are
foxhounds, staghounds, otterhounds
and barriers, but there are also
beagles and bassett hounds, both used
in packs for hare hunting. The last
named are small and short-legged, but
they have wonderful noses.
Greyhounds are the fastest of all the
canine tribe. Next come whippets,
which seldom weigh more than twenty
five pounds. Though used principally
for racing, they are also useful for
running down rabbits.
In Ireland there is, or was till re,
Gently, at least one pack of weasel
hounds.
Robbery packs are used for jackal
hunting in India. These are hounds of
mixed breed, but most ofdhe old Ram
pur strain. They are versatile animals,
being trained not only to run jacllals
but also to pull down black buck.
In India, too, the cheetah Is used for
hunting The cheetah is one of the
great cats like the leopard, but longer
in the leg. 1t is caught wild and
trained those animals bred in captiv-
ity are useless for hunting A cheetah
has extraordinary speed and will run
down any kind of deer.
In the Southern states in America
most of the negroes keep 'possum dogs
yellow hOund-likp animalS-Whicl
are trained to hunt opossums or rae
coons by night. They are plucky
creatures and will even take the trail
of a panther. This sort of hunting is
done on foot and by night. The dogs
business is to tree" the quarry. The
hunters then climb the tree after the
animal, or, if this is impossible, cut
the tree down.
Z. G. Nimmo, the well-known Amer
lean sportsman has gone a step fur
ther than any one else, in that he has
trained a pack of cats for hunting.
With these he tracks not only 'possum
and raccoons, but also rabbits and
quail
In hunting the latter he has two
fine cats which are trained like point
ers and at sight or scent of the game
become rigid, waiting for their master
to come up and shoot what they have
found for him.
These two cats, Mr.. Nimmo says,
will also retrieve shot birds as clever
ly as any dog.-London Answers.

The White House at Washington
was first occupied by President John
Adams in 1900, eight years having
been spent in the construction OF the
edifce, for which the cornerstone was
laid October 10, 1892, In the presence
of George Washington. The choice Of
the thirteenth Of the month for the
ceremony indicates that the first
President had no regard for the an
cient thirteenth" superstition. The
first official function held in the White
House was the New Year reception
given by President Adams on January
l, 1901. When Washington was cap
tured by the British In 1914 the White
House, as we'll as the unfinished struc-
ture of the capitol and other govern
ment buildings. were burned. The
White House was restored in 1918.

of the pet porkers carried there and
left by the Spanish explorers to the

land and later in New Zealand be-
came SO thick that 1t was a common
occurrence for hunter to bag fifty

MAINE FOLKS LIVE LONG.
Average Age Higher Than That of
Whole Country.

More than GO per cent. of persons
who die in Maine live to be more
than fifty years of age, according to
DR.. Clarence F. Kendall, State COM
missioner of health. In discussing
Names mortality statistics for 1928,
DR.. Kendall pointed out the average
age at death in Maine is much higher
than the average for the United
States. Names average is 52.7 5
years.
During 1928, of the total number OF
,693 Maine deaths at all ages, there
were 253 above the age of 80 years,
or more than two per cent of the
total number. OF these, there were
seven men and women who reached
or passed the century mark. By far
the greater number of deaths oc-
Cured between the ages of IS and
IS than at any other similar period
of life The highest mortality of
all was among infants of less than
one year of age. A total of 1880
of these potential Maine citizens
died before their first birthday. Of
all deaths in Maine during the year,
1884 per cent. occurred during the
first year of life. The greater num-
Der of these infant deaths, Dr. Ken
dali pointed out, could have been
prevented.
The lowest death rate and the
smallest number of deaths from tn
berculosis in the history of Maine
was recorded in 1928, Dr. Kendall
continued. Six hundred and four
teen deaths from this disease We're
reported as compared with 639 dur
ing 1922. The death rate from tu-
berculosis in Maine in 1928 was 1872
per 10000 population as compared
with 9.5 for the United States as a
whole, according to the latest fig
ures-1921-issued by the depart
ment of the census.
Maine deaths from typhoid, infan-
tile paralysis, diphtheria and scarlet
fever have been greatly reduced dur
ing the past few years. The total
number of Maine deaths from these
diseases during 1928 is as follows:
Typhoid. .......... 81
Diphtheria. ............. so
Scarlet fever .... so
Infantile paralysis. . 6
Cancer, on the other hand,
showed an increase with 9S2 deaths
during 1928 as compared with 962
during 1922. OF the total number
of deaths in Maine during the year
1866 per cent. were due to cancer.
Deaths from measles also in
creased and deaths from whooping
cough were more than doubled over
the preceding year.
