SHOOTING RIGHTS IN WALES. 
jI t is seldom one hears of disputed sporting 
ghts over commons now; but where these do 
cur, it is nearly always in Wales, where exist 
st tracts of mountain common, which are very 
Idom patrolled by a keeper. One of these dis- 
,ites was heard at Swansea a few days ago, 
hen a number of men were charged with tres¬ 
ssing in pursuit of game at Mynydd Pycod- 
•yn Common, near Pontardulais, on land over 
iiich shooting rights had been let by the Duke 
Beaufort to Sir John Llewelyn. A claim of 
jht was put in by the defendants, on the ground 
at they had shot over the common for twenty 
ars. For the prosecution it was submitted that 
claim of right must be bona fide; the men 
ust believe in it. The fact that one of the men 
arged had refused to give his name was in¬ 
sistent with a real belief in that right. Sec- 
ldly, the claim of right must also be made on 
asonable grounds. That would be the duty 
the Justices to decide. Subject to certain 
ghts of pasturage, all rights of the land were 
sted in the Duke of Beaufort, who was lord 
the manor. There had been trouble through 
ursing on the common, and they also tres- 
ssed on neighboring lands, causing incon- 
nience to tenants. In the end the magistrates 
cided that no claim of right had been made, 
d fined the defendants.—Shooting Times. 
SQUIRRELS IN CITY PARKS. 
Several days ago men climbed into trees in 
ashington and Lincoln narks and placed board 
jitforms between diverging branches, far above 
ie ground. Passersby wondered what they were 
be used for, and when some days later small 
, xes were nailed to the boards they marveled 
ie more that the Shade Tree Commission was 
; oviding homes for the English sparrows. 
But the boxes are for squirrels, not birds, 
x pairs are soon to be set free in each of the 
j'O parks. The members of the Shade Tree 
>mmission hope that the people will feed the 
' uirrels and also protect them from thought¬ 
's boys. In Washington Park recently boys 
ere observed throwing stones at the boxes. In 
mtral Park, New York city, the squirrels are 
ry tame and afford much delight to both chil- 
1 en and adults. If they are kindly treated in 
! ewark, as they should be, they will make full 
yment for their lodging and board.—Newark

Bears I Ha.ve Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper. 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex¬ 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stories, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women and 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. _ At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.
