Several Hundred Experienced Huaters In the Seven Mountains Between the Hear Meadows and Paddy Moun'aln Tunnel. With the opening of the deer fea gon on Tuesday, several hundred ex- perienced hunters were located in the Seven Mountains between the Bear Meadows and Paddy Mountain tun- nel. The hunters are from all parts of the state, and are located in well equipped camps, and many will re- main for two weeks, or during the whole of the season. The hunters who approach the Seven Mountains from the Penns Val- ley side only repressnt a fractional part of the whole. The Lewistown papers give accounts of hunters com- jog from Lancaster and Harrisburg by the score, and to them must be added the many who made up the local hunting clubs in Mifflin county. Oa Monday, according to a state- ment made by Mr. Reber, a salesman, more than seventy-five hunters were on the train reaching Penns Valley from the esst. These are now ocamp- ing in the mountains, if not alone, they bave joined local hunting clubs from every town and village in the valley, But few reports have come from the camps a8 the Reporter goes to press. The first to report success was William Rossman, a farmer, living west of Centre Hall, who killed a two-pronged buck Tuesday forenoon, on Tussey Mountain. He and Charles B. Neff, Adam Bmith and Duglass Brooks, all neighbors, made up a party for a day's hunting. The Bradford party, of Centre Hall, are located above the Colyer farm. They saw a deer Tuesday, but failed to capture it. The Regulars, a Potters Mills club, are located at Garrity’s. SBome of the crew saw and shot at a bear on Tues. day, but bruin carried the lead with him if he was hit, The Gilliland, Rearick, Rhoads, Lu- cas, ele, hunters, are camped on the east end of Blate Ridge. The Penn Hall hunters are in Poe Valley. No word from them. The Coburn hunters and a part of the Wingert club are in the moun. tains romewhere below Coburn. A Behuylkill Haven club is camp- ing in Poe Valley. There are seven- teen of them. Oae of their number wounded a deer on Tuesday.

The Horners, of Pleasant Gap, are in the mountains below Coburn. The “ Modocs' the well-known Boalsburg hunting club, is eampiog at Pine Bwamp, west of Bear Meadows An eightprong buck was killed at Fiat Rock, Sugar Valley, and two in Brush Valley. .

Lucas expects to greatly increase the yields from the White farm, at Penns Cave, purchased by his father-in-law, Isssc Smith who lives near that farm.

That section of Michigan is largely devoted to fruit growing, the product being shipped by boat to Chicago, where top prices are received. One of the important labors that will be done by the several legislatures in states whose majorities slid, from the Republican to the Democratic side is to reapportion the congres sional representation in thoss states.

The hand Kiss is loosely asserted to be developed from servile ovbelsances in which the earth, the foot and the gariwents were Kiss ed, the hand and cheek succeeding In order of time and approach to equality of rank. Bat it is doubtful If that was the actual order, and it Is certain that at the time when hand kissing began there were less numerous grada- tions of rank than at a later stage. Kissing of the hands between men is mentioned In the Old Testament; also by Homer, Pliny and Lucian, The kiss was applied reverentially to sacred objects, such as statues of the gods, as is shown by ancient works of art, and also among numerous etymologies by that of the Latin word “adoro,” and It was also metaphorically applied by the inferior or worshiper kissing his own hand and throwing the salute to the superior or statue, A ——————————— The Story of a Statue, There was set up in the seventeenth century at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight what is probably the most curious plece of art extant, erected to the memory of Sir Robert Holmes, a Brit. ish naval officer of that period, The odd circumstance is that the statue was not originally designed for Holmes at all, but for a very different person- age, no other, indeed, than Louis X1V of France. This statue, finished as to the figure, but in the rough as fo the head, was belog taken to France on an Italian vessel when it was captured by a British man-of-war commanded by Holmes. Upon perceiving the un finished condition of the statne Holmes, with grim humor, compelled the artist, who had accompanied his work, to chisel his (Holmes'y head on the king's body. And so it stands to day. Holmes was eventually made governor of the Isle of Wight, which fact accounts for the location of this mongrel bit of artistry, The Lottery Mania.

A Paris contemporary tells a story of Victor Hugo and a young unknown poet. The poet, balling from the prov inces, sent to the author of *Notre Dame de Paris” a copy of his work, which he had just published in the form of a book of poems. Hugo re. plied In most sympathetic terms, and the young man was delighted with the letter, as well he might have been. His joy, however, was but short lived, for a day or two later his serv ant announced that the package con- taining the volume of poems had come back through the post unopened. The package bore the legend, “Refuse par le destinataire—-affranchissement in suffisant” (refused by the addressee on account of insufficient postage: Hugo's letter was hyperbolic and in these terms: “Your work has given me a proud pleasure, under the impression of which 1 hasten tv congratulate 3 Your fame is young and radiant: mine Is declining.
