Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: No doubt we are all of us making some good resolutions for the New Year, and I think it a good plan, even if we @0 not carry them all out, to do the Uest we can. And who is there amongst us that has mot & burden resting on their heart? I think one of our first resolutions should be to see what we can Go to lighten that burden. It is a noble thing to carry our burdens bravely, but I do not see where there is any honor or glory in carrying on our shoulders self-imposed burdens. Supposing we examine our conscience and see how many of the troubles that {we bring to the New Year have been of our own making. Our husbands have seemed thoughtless of our monotonous rounds of duty, absorbed in things out- side of home. Have we done alli we could to make its atmosphere soothing and refreshing? 1f the past months have been uncon- genlal ones, instead of fretting about what is past and gone let us try for the New Year of 1911 to Infuse “sweet- ness and light” into our relations with our husbands and familles, and when the year comes to its close we'll all be happier for feeling that we have done | our best, even if we have not accom- { plished all that we would have liked.

I cut it from a paper several years ago and have found it all it claims to be. It is and has been prescribed by eminent phy- sicians in Europe as the simplest and surest preventive of the grippe-- influenza. 1 have found it an abso- lute preventive and cure for colds, sore throat, grippe and malaria. In cases of threatened cold, sore throat or anything of the sort, half a wine- glass full of the solution settles it. Three doses will break up the most obstinate cold, or give softness and ease to the severest sore throat. To get the solution in right propor- tions, put 60 drops of pure carbolic aclc, white solution, into a quart bottle of water; shake well every time a dose is taken from it. A tablespoonfnl of the mixture is a dose for a young child: two tablespoonstul for an adult. T have kept it on hand for several years and would not like to be without it. Norwich. HETTIA MARIA.

(State Ornithologist’ uary.) e motto of the English and Con- ] game-keepers is: “For every rd_you shoot, put back two.” The t is that they have game in abundance all the time. Until we do something similar, besides, of course, kinz proper care of what wild stock have left, every passing year will me-birds grow rtarcer. According to a table compiled by William T. Hornaday, director of New York zoological park, giving of each state of the relative se in bird-life, duning a recent period of fifteen vears. in that time the birds are satd to have decreased in Connecticut 75 per cent., which is the maximum amount reported by any ite except Florida. This decrease is Jly true of our upland game- At t > have any left, uniess we try methods? Under our free institutions we allow anybody to buy a hunters license, and in Connecticut issue over 15,000 of these each year, whereas in Europe the hunting privilege is much restrict- ed. This goes to show that if propa- Letter for Jan- gation methods are essenitial there, they are even more so with us. Those ol tablished countries, after cen- turies of experiment, have reduced the thing to a science, based upon practi- cal successful methods of artificfal propagation. Our American method has been to w practically universal hunting, till more of our game-birds have been killed off, and then, at the demand of the huntérs who pay licenses for more | same-birds for re-stocking purposes, e have had imported foreign species, notably Hungarian partridge preasants,—in hope that some of those would survive and re-stock our de- pleted covers. Various states besides have tried these experiments, h were well worth testing and gave promise of good results. Expert authorities, such s the U. §. and declare that nearly all those ex- iments have proved utter failures. Mr. Henry Oldys of the biological sur- ‘ey shows that the Hungarian part- migrates, and the costly birds bought by the commissions of north- ates are enjoyed by the southern gunmers. In general, foreign wirds prove nearly hopeless under the new conditions, and quickly perish. Evi- dently we are on the wrong tr Sportsmen are beginning to realize that in the artific propagation of our native game-birds must lle our main hope. In Turope they know how success fully breed game-birds, includinz Ameri species, and it could be done exactly as well here as there. In Belglum, for example, they breed our beautiful American wood duck by the | thousand and, strange to say, when want wood ducks we have to send there for them. They raise birde as sucecessfully as we do to | chickens. What's the matter with us! The idea is taking root in this country.
