The deer season of 1913, which has just come to & close has been a very good one. Many fine specimens have been bagged, and those who have been hunting through these woods for years say that it has been above the average. The snow on the ground during the past ten days made it easy to track them and as a result most of the parties were successful. A party of four hunters came from the woods Friday afternoon with four fine deer, the total weight of the four being 7G5 pounds. This section has been very fortunate as to hunting accidents and the year passed by without a sin- gle fatality.

Andre.

Her remains were brought here from Utica on the five o'clock train Saturday afternoon and taken to the home of her grandpar- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Parquet, with whom the family resided since the death of Mrs. Hill about four years ago. Lucile was a bright, lova- ble child and will long be missed by the sorrowing family and by her school mates, with whom she was a favorite. She is survived by her father, one brother, George Hill, and two sisters, Helen and Ruth Hill. The funeral was- held from St. Stephen's church at 10:30 Sunday morning, when a requiem high mass was cele- brated by the pastor, Rev. Father Hillary.

The revised election returns show that Judge Bartlett, the Democratic candidate 'for chief judge of the court of appeals, was elected y about 2,500 plurality. Judge Werner, the defeat- ed Republican candidate, remains a member of the court. supervision, and are a menace to the health of their families and the com- munity. Three of these patients found in an advanced stage of the disease have died since the investigation was begun, There are six patients in the early stages of tuberculosis, and ex- perience has shown that early cases can be cured under proper sanatar- ium supervision; in fact, the state hospital at Raybrook is curing 84 per cent of all patients admitted, and the county'hospitals already in operation are showing wonderful resplts. Six- teen cases were found in Lewis coun- ty to be chronic and common carriers of infection. In the homes of these 16 cases, 44 children were found exposed to infection. In 40 homes where pa- tients' were visited, deaths were known to have occurred among mem- bers or near relatives from tubercu- losis. Your committee investigated the deaths in the county from this disease for the last five years and found there have been 133, or an average of 26.5 per year. As it is estimated there are five living cases of tuberculosis to every death, which ratio holds ap- propriately true in Lewis county, as shown by the nurse's report, and your committee believes all the cases could not have been discovered in so short a time. The investigation of the visiting nurse shows, .beyond a'doubt, that tu- berculosis is exceedingly prevalent in Lewis county and your committee is of the unanimous opinion that a hos- pital should be built in and for'Lewis county, and unless this step is taken at once, the county will have t o face a grave problem later on. Your committee finds that the hos- pitals throughout the state are full and in many cases a waiting list ex- ists. This shows that patients will seek care and treatment of their -own volition in a county institution. | In fact, the report of Miss McKechnie shows that none of the cases which she visited was unwilling to go 6b a hospital in Lewis county, providing one were established. Your committee has distributed among the schools and granges 4,000 pamphlets containing the report of the anti-tuberculosis committee of the New York State Grange. One of the gentlemen who was instrumental in issuing this report is W. H. Vary, the master of the State Grange. Mr. Vary recently spoke at Copenhagen at a grange meeting and said in unquali- fied terms that Lewis county should have a tuberculosis hospital. Conclusions. Your committee finds several facts apparent from its investigations: 1. Tuberculosis is prevalent in Lewis county, there being 23 cases in immediate need of hospital care and supervision. 2. That the only means of stopping the further spread of the disease is hospital care. 3. That county hospitals already in operation are meeting with wonder- fully good results. 4. •That a large sum is not neces- sary for the purchase of a site and the construction and equipment of a hospital. 5. That the average cost of main- tenance is $1.40 per diem per patient. Recommonedations. The astonishing extent of tubercu- losis in Lewis county, the utter lack of facilities for care and treatment, the success attending the establish- ment and use of hospitals in other counties, and the evident necessity of some action in this county toward the suppression of consumption, lead your committee to recommend that your honorable board make prompt provis- ion, 1 to the extent of $10,000, for the establishment of a tuberculosis hospi- tal in and for the county of Lewis. Your committee further recom- mends that a small farm .be purchas- ed at some point accessible from all parts of the county having substan- tial farm buildings thereon, and that these be so remodeled as to meet the needs of a tuberculosis hospital. Your committee feels that in ren- dering this report and in making the recommendations herein, it does so with the best interests of the county at heart. Respectfully submitted, I. D.

It is sim- ilar in its origin to the mixture of lan- guages known as Lingua-Franca in the Levant and in other parts, of the Med- iterranean. It is a direct translation of Chinese into English and strictly idiomatic. For instance, they say, \That book, pay my,\ instead of \Give lue the book.\ The Chinese tailors speak fluently in this odd English. An American lady went to a Chinese tailor in Shanghai to see him regarding putting feather in- terlining in a mnff.\ The tailor seemed a trifle dazed as to what she wanted and said. \B'long alio same chicken fur?\ He wanted to prove his inten- tion of treating his customer right and told her. \My b'long alio same you., you b'long alio same my—b'long my velly good fiend,\ and later, wishing to ask after one of the lady's daughters, remarked, \Miss A., have catchee mas- ter?\ When this was said China had not come out for woman's suffrage.— Amy W. Hotchkiss in National Maga- zine. NATIONAL TASTES IN EGGS; ELIZABETH ISLAND. Its Curious Little Colony of Zoological Total Abstainers. Recent investigations on the little known and rarely visited Henderson or EL '.abeth island, have led to the discovery of a complete and curious little colony of zoological total abstain- ers. The island, which is uninhabited, is situated about 120 miles northeast of .Pitcairn island—Itself sufficiently out of the way, but famous as the home of the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty. ' There is no water on it, not. even a swamp, and it is only six miles long, yet it harbors quite a menagerie—a kind of rat. a lizard, described as very abundant, and no fewer than four kinds of birdg, all peculiar to the is- land. These are a fruit pigeon, a lori- keet or honey eating parrakeet, a little rail or crake and a reed warbler. The strange thing about the inmates of this curious little natural aviary of coral rock, surrounded by waves in- stead of wires, is that two of its inmates are birds, one especially associated with fresh water—the rail and the war- bler. These, like the rest, must do without drinking unless the dew can •slake their thirst or they have acquir- ed toleration for sea water as a bev- erage.—Argonaut. One Sided Humor. After the compimy hud gone Mrs.' Mason said to her busbiiiid. \What on earth did you menu. .John, by telling the Flemings that my humor was posi- tive, but not negative?\ \1 meant,\ said Mr. Mason, discreetly moving to- ward the door, \that you could make a joke, but couldn't take one!\ The Spaniard. Boils His a Minute and Then Drinks TH'em Down. How do you eat an- egg? To a stranger the manner in which you eat this .part of your breakfast may. indicate your nationality. Nearly every nationality has some especial way of cooking and serving eggs for breakfast, and, quite unconsciously, the average person's order of eggs will reveal his nationality. Americans arc said to prefer poached eggs. The foreigner when- traveling who sees a man order a couple of eggs poached on toast almost immediately Jumps to the conclusion that only an American could have given the order. Hard boiled eggs, served whole, are another American dish, and \deviled eggs,\ where the yolk is mixed with various condiments, is strictly Ameri- can. Fried eggs, too. are more com- mon in America than elsewhere. Hard boiled eggs are eaten in Ger- many, too, but thoy are usually pre- pared in a glass, chopped with butter,' salt and pepper. The German. likes his soft boiled eggs very soft, indeed, and breaks the contents into a china cup, eating them from the cup. The \egg cup\ is an invention of Germany, but the German cups lire large enough to contain several eggs. \Sour eggs\ are eaten in Germany too. The average Englishman likes his egg boiled for three and a half min- utes, no more and no less. He is par- ticular about the time. He prefers a small egg cup that holds one egg, the shell of which is not removed. The Englishman then removes the top of the shell. Bread and butter, instead of the toast of the American, is eaten with the Englishman's eggs. The Frenchman removes the top of, his egg, too. but then he stirs the con- tents vigorously and adds bits of bread and butter to the egg. Sometimes squares of bread are dipped into the egg. No Spaniard would dream of letting an egg boll three minutes—that is, if he.- prefers his eggs prepared strictly in the native fashion. The egg Js al- lowed to boil only one minute arid is then broken open and the contents poured into a glass, the real Spanish epicure drinking it off as if it were wa- ter. * In Italy eggs, to be perfectly pre- pared are started on their boiling by being put into cold water. When the water comes to a boil the egg is done. It is eaten on a large plate with bread. —Chicago Tribune. Wealth of Detail. Former Governor Proctor Knott of Kentucky used to tell a story of a na- tive who appeared as a witness in a mountain murder trial where Knott was an attorney. The mountaineer took the stand, chewing tobacco, aild gave his name, his age and his place of residence. Then one of the lawyers asked him to describe his first meeting with a certain person who figured in the case. \Well drawled the native, \he rid through dur place a-straddle of a dun colored critter a-blowin* of a fox hunt- in' horn and a-wearin' of a bearskin overcoat, and hit was hot weather, I axed him if the critter he were a-ridin' were a geldin' or a 'riginal, which he 'lowed it were and driv on.\—Saturday Evening Post.
