NEW PUBLICATIONS. 
Summer Vacations at Mooseqead Lake 
and Vicinity. By Lucius L. Hubhard'. Bos¬ 
ton: A. Williams &Co. Price $1.50. 
This handy little volnme Is the result of Mr. 
Hulthard's repeated sojourns in the Maine 
woods. Having gone repeatedly over the canoe 
routes, camped out in the wilds, and thoroughly 
familiarized himself with the ways of the woods, 
the author appears to have happily sot forth 
here precisely what will instruct others how to 
paddle their oanoes, piteh their tents, catch their 
fish, and build tlioir oamp-flres on the same 
grounds. The photographic illustrations add 
much to the book, while the rnup.is invaluable, 
showing, as It does, the roads, carries, etc. 
Previous to Mr. Hubbard's book we had not an 
adequate guide to this region ; we are happy to 
Btate that the “Summer Vacations" entirely 
supplies this lack. 
Enrticn's Fashion Quarterly, published by 
Ehrioh & Co., 287 Eighth avenue, New York, has 
assumed a very large form, and Is an iavaluable 
guide to lady purchasers. It is an Illustrated 
catalogue of every article of ladles' and chil¬ 
dren’s outfits, house furnishing articles, etc. We 
commend it to all lady readers of Forest and 
Stream. The price is fifty centsa year, or fif¬ 
teen cents a number. 
A Tight Squeeze. By “Staats." Bos¬ 
ton : Lee & Shepard. 
The tramp has been abused and denounced, 
“ Staats” has found In him a subjeot for a very 
neat little romance. The “Tight Squeeze" was that 
of a gentleman,who, on a wager of $10,000, under¬ 
took to go from New York to New Orleans In 
three weeks, without money, nB a professional 
tramp. The book Is full of odd situations 
and tkeldennuement is as startling as it is sur¬ 
prising. 
—We have received from Lee & Shepard, Bos¬ 
ton, Mnss., “ The Danbury News Man's " now 
book, “Mr. Phillips' Goneness." Just how Mr. 
Phillips was “gone," how badly he was " gone," 
aud fyow, when, where and why he came to him¬ 
self, we leave for the readers of the hook them- 
elvesto determine. 
Magazines for October— Scribner's opens 
with a paper by Ernest Ingeraollon “Ups and 
Downs in Leadville,” which oontains much in¬ 
teresting gossip about that wonderful place, 
with a great deal of reliable information as well. 
The Illustrated paper by Mr. Charles A. Zimmer¬ 
man upon " Field Sports in Minnesota" is one of 
the best of the sporting series, and espooialiy 
seasonable. 
A Colored Evangelist's Dog. — The 
Rev. Calvin Williams, a colored evangelist, 
was brought before a Stonington justice 
the other day, charged with keeping an 
unlicensed dog. Upon being asked to 
plead, he replied that he would first open 
the Court with prayer, aud immediately 
fell upon liis knees and offered a fervent 
petition, remembering particiilary those en¬ 
gaged in his prosecution. He then stated 
that the dog was the property of his wife, 
who belonged to the Indian tribe. Judg¬ 
ment was suspended for two weeks.— 
New Haven Register. 
Weather Messengers.— In the cur¬ 
rent number of Nature is a suggestion for 
using carrier pigeons as weather-messen¬ 
gers. The proposal is that outward bound 
vessels shall take with them carrier pigeons, 
to be sent back at such points as may be 
determined on, bearing with them the re¬ 
port of such observations likely to be use¬ 
ful at home. The storms in the altitude of 
England rarely attain a rate of thirty miles 
an hour, and sometimes do not exceed fif¬ 
teen miles. On an average a storm cen¬ 
ter may be said to travel at about sixteen 
or seventeen miles an hour, aud a good 
carrier pigeon would, therefore, easily out¬ 
strip all ordinary disturbances ; and, even 
in the case of the most rapidly approach¬ 
ing storm centers, if encountered at any 
considerable distance out at sea, the bird 
would get home with an ample margin of 
time for the transmission of signals to the 
threatened districts. Scotland, it is'pointed 
out, is especially unprotected ; and if every 
vessel leaving Greenock for America took 
a carrier pigeon, very useful observations 
might be returned. 
A short-sighted lover passes the. object 
of bis affections upon the street without 
saluting her, wherefore she takes him to 
task at their next meeting. 
“What weight should I attach to your 
professions ? ” she says, severely ; “ yester¬ 
day I met you on the street and you passed 
on without ever looking at me. 
“Madame, ” replies the offender gallantly, 
“ if I had stopped to look at you I should 
never have passed on.” 
—The depth of the water in the gorge 
below Niagara Falls has just been meas¬ 
ured for the first time. The swiftness of 
the stream bad baffled all previous efforts, 
but a corps of Government engineers ac¬ 
complished tlie feat, They embarked in a 
small boat not far below the Falls. An old 
guide accompanied the party. The depth 
just below the Falls was found to be 80 
feet; a little further down, 100 feet, deep¬ 
ening to 192 feet. The deepest water found 
was 210 feet. 
Poverty and Poultry.— Warrants have 
been issued by the attorney of the Health 
Board for the arrest of a number of east 
side tenements housekeepers on a charge 
of violating the health code. Inspectors 
Brennan and Crow furnished the evidence 
upon which the warrants were granted. 
According to their testimony certain 
dwellers ou the east side of the city are in 
the habit of keeping in their cramped 
apartments geese, ducks aud hens, cooped 
up in cellars and under bedsteads. This 
state of affairs produced foul odors and 
bred contagious diseases. In a basement 
at No. 80 Chrystie street, 50 ducks and 200 
hens were housed ; at No. 99 Ridge street, 
a number of chickens and geese: No. 80 
Essex street, 250 ducks; No. 118 Ridge 
street, 100 chickens and 50 ducks ; No. 153 
Ridge street. 100 chickens : No. 120 Ridge 
street, 180 chickens under the bed and 50 
ducks in the vard, and No. 82 Essex street 
200 ducks and geese in the cellar. 
Cape Ann Codfishing. — Not many 
months a<*o a party of Boston gentlemen 
came to this city and went on a lisiting 
party, Some of them got pretty jolly, 
one m particular, who seizing one of the 
codfish which they had caught, walked 
up the wharf. He soon espied a veteran 
fisherman who was sawing wood, and 
under the impulse of the moment fetched 
him a whack across the face with the cod¬ 
fish. In a moment he was sobered. The 
generous impulse of a noble heart throbbed 
iu his bosom. He felt that he had done a 
moau, ungentlemanly act, and he meant 
to atone for it then and there. Taking 
out a ten dollar bill he proffered it to the 
veteran, saying: “Accept this and let 
it wipe out any recollections of the 
eowardily blow I struck you, its I did 
not mean to do it aud am very sorry 
for it.” 
The verteran took tlio bill, bis Ruse beam¬ 
ing with mingled astonishment and delight, 
and making a bow, remarked : “ See here 
stranger, you can wipe me over the face 
all day long with a codfish, at ten dollars 
a lick ! I don’t bear you a might of ill will, 
1 don't. I rather like your style. When 
are you coming again?” And that settled 
it .—Cape Ann Advertiser. 
Moon Struck. — A man has gone moon- 
blind in Boston , He applied at a police sta ¬ 
tion for lodgings on Sunday evening, and 
being told that he must go to Hawkins 
Street Home, answered that lie was moon- 
blind, and unable to find tlie way. In ex¬ 
planation, he said he was recently a mem¬ 
ber of the night gang at work oh the new 
sewer i n Dorchester. About a month ago the 
men took an hour's rest at midnight, and 
he fell into a doze while reclining on 
an enbankment. The moon was shining 
bright and clear. When he awoke at 1 
o’clock and attempted to return to his work, 
ho found that he could not see. In the day 
time and by the aid of artificial light, he 
can now see as well as ever, but after dusk 
and iii the open air his sense of sight is 
wholly lost. 
—The Mosquis Indians of Arizona, num¬ 
bering 1,700, live in seven villages on the 
tops of three cliffs or headlands that rise 
more than 600 feet above the plains. Why 
they choose these unhandy placeB is a mys¬ 
tery. On reaching the villages, says a re¬ 
cent visitor, one finds one’s self oh a flat 
ledge of bare rock which extends out from 
tlie main table nearly half amile in length, 
aud from teji feet to perhaps three hun- 
dreed feet in width. The sides are almost 
perpendicular. The most populous of these 
villages, Wal-Ia-pi, is on the extreme end 
of the rocks, where the width is not over 
one hundred feet. All the water for all 
purposes is carried in earthen vessels on 
the uaeksof men and women from a spring 
near the foot of the mountain, a distance 
of nearly a mile, while the wood is brought 
eight miles. Hero these people have lived 
longer thau they can tell, even from their 
traditions ; and hitherto they have been 
averse to a change of location, notwith¬ 
standing the difficulty of obtaining their 
necessaiy supplies and the distance from 
their fields and herds.* 
—Tlie city of Providence began, a year 
and a half ago, to dispense its charity on 
a new plan. Helpless paupers were kept 
in an almshouse, or aided at home, as be¬ 
fore ; but all able-bodied applicants for 
food or lodgings were put at work in a 
wood yard at fifty cents a day. Unworthy 
families, who had been assisted by the 
city for years, dropped out of the Charity 
Commissioner’s sight, while begging de¬ 
creased greatly. Tramps began to give 
the city a wide berth, for they had to pay 
for their lodgings and meals with work 
in the wood yard, and the station-house 
lodgers during the year numbered only 
2,479 against 9,425 for the year preceding. 
The new system has also been one of econ¬ 
omy, the expenditures for outdoor and in¬ 
door relief being $13,240, against $19,144 
for outdoor relief alone during the preced¬ 
ing twelve months. The wood yard is self- 
sustaining.
