Their owners make good detectives and attorneys. The owner may acquire some money by economy and guile but lias not largeness of spirit to make a groat fortune. Thin pointed tongues aro found in diffident people who lU) not Bucceed in life. short ami broad ones accompany craft and falsehood; the person who has such a tongue is compelled by it to deceive arid betray, whatever effort he may make to koop straight.

A farmer in the town of Barkham- < Bted writes to the Hartford "Courant" a detailed statement of what he has suffered from the ravages of deer In ( the past summer and of the incngro \, compensation with which lie has been forced to content himself, that seems to form justificable ground for com plaint. The complaint is the more worthy of consideration from tlhe roasonable tone in which it ls voiced, and one ls led thereby to bellevo that lt is based lu fact rather than lu Im agination. This fainer of Barkhameted, to con denso his trouble's has had destroyed by deer this sum mer the product ot one-fourth of an aero of wax beans, 240 out of l,2f?9 cabbages, and three fourths of an acre of mangel wurt ze.ls, getting from the latter three tons of crop, whore bo had reason to ex pect twenty tons. In compensation tor all this damage the state has paid him tho sum of $20. He has to take that or nothing for there is no su ing tho stute. Farmers who have tried to raise crops of this sort, and Some "others who have had experience with them, may judge how inadequate a sum this ls to pay a farmer for so large a part of a whole Bummer's lab or. "I can't .afford to work all summer [ like a slave and lose everything-just for the pleasure ol some city sports. ' says this farmer, sadly. Hasn't he come dangerously close to tho real root of this matter?. Foi whal arc we so jealously protecting our Connecti cut dcm ?

Not for a min ute. Tho real motive bach of tho careful protection of the 'leer is the idea of certain misguided ones who think they are sportsmen, that in time we may be able to make Con necticut over Into a happy hunting ground for at least a few winks in a year, with the customary attachments to tho deer shooting season elsewhere presumably.
