GILT EDGED POLO. Manager Smart’s Men Put a 14* Carat Article And Win Goth the Thanksgiving Day Games. VERY lover of polo in Augusta was de lighted with the fine account of them selves given by Manager Smart's men on Thanksgiv jj5 ingday. They played hard, fast polo. All the players were out to win. and ihe result was that both games were captured In a most hand- j some manner. While there was a gen eral hope—almost expectation—that the team would win the afternoon game front Portland, even the most sanguine crank looked for Bath to carry off the victory in the evening— especially after its great 3 to 0 victory over Gardiner in the afternoon. Be sides there is a quite general feeling among local lovers of the game that Bath has about the hottest team in the league. It was no use. however Manager Smart's men were out to win. and even the trappy Bath players were unable to prevent them from doing so. But wasn't that evening game a great exhibition of polo though! No better game was ever seen in this city. It was close enough to keep the spectator's hair on end through the whole three periods, and the play from start to finish, on both sides was snappy and brilliant. It would be difficult to particularize. All the boys played well, and played together. Malone gave, hy far. the liest exhibition of half-back work that has ever come from him, and if he keeps up this gait bids fair to become one of the crack-o-jaeks of the league. Captain Perry played a hard, fast game himself, and showed excellent Judgment In directing the work of his men. Both Turner and Schofield did great rush work, and Murphy put up one of his best exhibitions in the goal. There is no doubt about it, boys. If you keep up that gait you are sure to climb pretty well towards the top be fore the season closes. The same kind of a game you put up against Bath Thursday night will beat Gardiner Monday night. We are glad to note this brace in the work of the team. The boys have cer tainly played in hard luck losing a number of hard fought games by a single goal. In point of fact in only two of their games thus far has then work been distinctly poor. We believe that Manager Smart has a good team, and one that, with proper encourage ment, will win its fair share of the games. The Valley team, and the Capitol Cltys played a game before the league game far the championship of the city, resulting in a score of 5 to 5.

Gardiner, Me., Nov. 26.—(Special).— Bath’s polo club came to this cily, Thursday, and gave the patrons of the game a splendid exhibition of the gapie, and defeated Gardiner to the I same tune as at Bath, Monday r.ight, 3 to 0. The Coliseum was very dark, and the electric lights were called into play. Gardiner first made her appearance on the floor, each man clad in a very handsome new suit of sea green with white stripes and a white "G” on the heart. Bath soon followed. The first period was hot and that is aTiout cl! that can bo said about it. Isei.her side scored and every man on the floor was kept extremely busy. In the next period, J. Mooney took the rush and from the spot drove the ball into (he net in just 3 seconds. Then

Then they played to kill time, and after several warnings the ball was taken away from them by the umpire and given to Winthrop at the middle of the held. Hegarty made a gain of 10 yards, then the Monmouth backs broke through and set the Win throp’s back. At this point the sensa tional play of the game occurred. The signal was given for a punt. Smith fell back and got the ball off well. Winthrop’s left end was down the field and threw Warren as he caught the ball, this wrenched the ball from the hands of Monmouth’s full hack. Wood of Winthrop picked up the oval and legged it for Monmouth’s goal. When within 5 yards of the line he slipped and was tackled. Then all was excitement and pandomonium was lei loose. Winthrop felt sure of scoring, hut Monmouth made a desperate "Yale brace” and saved herself from defeat. Winthrop tried right and left end plays hut gained nothing. A place kick from the field would have been tried at this time but the ground was too slippery with the snow to venture it. In the remainder of the game Cor bett forced the ball hack by repeatedly bucking the center. He tried to circle the right end but was pluckily tackled and thrown by little Hegarty. Warren made one good gain around Winthrop’s right end. The game ended with the hall in Winthrop’s possesion in the center of the field. In the line C. Stevens helil well for Winthrop.

Cunningham and David Cunningham. The fair has been a great success and a good sum will be i realized by the undertaking. A Tank (or Model Ships. The experimental model tank fr which Congress appropriated $100,003 last year is being rapidly constructed at the Washington navy yard, most f the heavy work which consumes the longest time being almost completed, and the general condition of the work giving assurance that the tank will lie ready for experimental operationseaily next spring. The contract calls for delivery to the government in Janu ary. The project is watched with close at tention by naval officers and marine architects, as its novel features nd purposes are mainly of an untried character, similar apparatus on a large scale having been attempted heretofore hy only three governments—England. Italy and Russia. In England the admiralty have a tank near Ports mouth, and there is one at a private shipbuilding establishment. The Rus sian tank is only recently completed; but that of the Italian government, at Spezia, .has been of great va’ue in de signing warships. The American tank, as naturally to lie expected with a concentration of Yankee ingenuity on the problems involved, embraces a number of refinements and improved mechanical contrivances which the ex pected to add materially to the science of hull design. i in' iaiiK is sin icei ions, num wnony of concrete, ant) will lie covered by a substantial steel framed building. Spanning the water surface a moving bridge delicately mounted will carry the dynamometrical devices for meas uring the resistance of accurate models of vessels towed repeatedly from on-3 end of the tank to the other. These models, precisely representing the form of ships, will'be from 15 to 20 feet long, and when towed at slow speed will fur nish data upon which the efficiency of the full sized vessel at high speeds may he determined from formulae. The frame for the building, which is to be 500 feet long and 50 feet in the clear, is now being delivered at Washington. This shelter is designed to enable the maintenance of a constant temperature and an absolutely still atmosphere during experimentation. Everything about the tank is of a most stable character, and extreme precautions have been observed to prevent any pos sible tremor disturbing the accuracy of the testing devices. The towing gear, operated by electricity, upon the moving bridge, is under construction, and will be installed next March, when the investigation of proposed naval and other vessels will lie undertaken. The experimental tank at the Wash ington yard is the design throughout of Naval Constructor D. W. Taylor, who is superintending its construction. Mascagni Pestered by Libels. The composer of Cavallerla Rus ticana” seems to be the victim of press persecution. As is known, the maestro is the director of the famous Rossini Musical Lyceum of Pesaro, on of the Christmas Meats are greatly Improved In flavor If BELL’S SPICED SEASONING is used in all dressings. This famous old pro duct is made from the choicest selected spices the granulated Iragrant sweet herbs. Always ready. Saves time, labor «inf^ nvnnnea highest positions of the kind in Italy, the giving of which t him has roused much envy. Some time ago the Parma correspondent of a newspaper asserted that Mascagni had been appointed the head of the conservatoire there—an other of the most important musical institutions in the peninsula, says Music. Mascagni "rote denying this, and saying that he had never contem plated leaving Pesaro. The next day the correspondent denied the denial, and asserted in the most ‘'absolute way” that his statement was correct. Of course t poor maestro did not dare repeat his assertion, fearing something worse, and there the mat ter ended. Shortly after this another paper announced that he was about to resign his position in Pesaro. Remem bering his former experience Mascagni kept ouirt at> t waited to se-> t.*v* effect of these tactics, in fact, in a few days the correspondent from Leghorn, his birthplace, announced that he had a telegram from Mascagni authorizing a denial of his resignation. Of this cor respondent Mascagni had never even heard. Then came the suicide. “Missing myself three times,” exclaimed Mas cagni, “I, who am so sure a shot!” Mascagni finds it a great defect of Italian law that there should lie no legal redress for libels of this kind, which have not been merely an annoy ance but a material loss, as he has had to answer thousands of letters and telegrams from all over the world, even from America. And not only that, but relatives and personal friends rushed to Pesaro. and he had to put them up! Now every morning he wonders what theday will bring forth, and fully expects one line day to see it announced th'.'.t Pietro Mascagni has gone violently in sane. The trouble Is,” concludes the maestro, “if some misfortune should really happen to me. no one will be lieve it. and I think with fear of when I shall tie dead. My family will tele graph. send notices, write letters; bu' people shrugging their shoulders, will say; 'Oh! it is one of the usual Jokes.’ So that I shall lie considered alive who knows how long after my death? This also is a satisfaction.”—Two Republics. Fram Edmundton to Klondike. The following information in regard to a line of transportation to bo operated between Kdmundton and the Klondike during the Coming season may be interesting: The Mat Kenzie River Navigation Company will put on three steamers to run between Athabasca Landing and the Peel river. The boat for the upper Athabasca will be a seven I stern) wheeler. That for the Mat Kenzie river will be a twin screw pro peller built of steel frames with oak and elm hull. The boilers will be of the Scotch Marine type, and will be tested twice their working pressure. The steamers will lie under the man agement of Mr. George T. Loitch, who has learned his business on the Clyde. He is a competent boat builder, and holds a iirsl claas engineer's certifies' from the British board of trade. The first boat will leave Athabasca Landing on the 1st of May. Mr. Leiten has been on the Athabasca river ami engaged Competent pilots that have I teen on the river for over 20 years. There are a number of rapids on the liver that will cause the portage of freight for 17 miles. That is the reason there ate three Steamers, dividing the river into three sections, so that there may be a boat for each section. The first boat will go from Athabasca Landing to Grand Rapids, a distance of 165 miles. The next boat will start from the lower end of Grand Rapids. That will be the first portage. The next steamer will run from Port Mc Murray to Smith's Landing. That is another portage of 16 miles, from there the twin screw steamer will start. This boat will be fitted up with com pound engines and will be stronger built than the others, as it may en counter some heavy weather in the 200 miles of Great Slave lake through which you will have to pass and down to the Peel river. Passengers going to the Porcupine will have a further portage of about 300 yards, and will have to buy boats which the com[>any will have in slock." I One of the first houses erected in Brunswick was liuilt by Thomas Trigo j worth in 1616. and stood at the top of j the hill—on the lot now occupied by I Prof. Robinson. June 13. 1722, this house was burned by the Indians. Trigoworth and his family all killed and cremated in the burning house. Subsequently David Dunning erected a one and a half story a gambrel roof, house on the same lot which was de stroyed by fire in 1835. A postoffice was established in Brunswick in 1793 and kept in the house by Deaeon An drew Dummer, the first postmaster. Warren is certainly taking on aits and every once in a while gives a metropolitan shiver. The latest is a new coal cart built on city ideas, says the Rockland Courier-Gazette. The ladles of the Congregational parish. Ellsworth, have organized a Sewing Circle. SHIPPING NEWS. 4aine Pjrt*.

The increase in the revenues for November is occasion for national thanksgiving. It would seem that the duties of slave driver ought not to be those of an officer in the United States army. Three hundred Americans in London dined Thursday’ off what Ambassador Hay called "the Altruistic turkey.” Thene-ure indications that the silver syndicate has opened another barrel, though such a little thing as that it probably deems unworthy of mention. The Austrian Parliament will have to adopt the rudimentary precaution in •vogue^.'at cowboy entertainments: ‘‘Gents will leave their hardware at the door.”' 1 Liliilokalani is said to be jealous of the attention her daughter Kaiulani is receiving in Hawaii. She needn't worry about Kaiulani or anyone else rescuing that throne from the asii heap. _ A Week hence the lawmakers will be assembling in Washington. Meanwhile the newspapers are taking advantage of the opportunity to guess all sorts of things concerning the President's forthcoming message. Ccoker says Senator Murphy and not David B. Hill is the leader for the New York Democracy hut David still pre serves his silence. What’s the matter with Croker? Isn’t he satisfied with tunning the metropolis by proxy? The prediction that Attorney General McKenna is to be appointed to the supreme bench ts renewed, and this time there appears to be good grounds for the supposition. He is regarded as a very able man by those who know him 4>est._ The Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald declares that the annexation of Hawaii, if not by two thirds vote in the Senate then by act of Congress as was done in the case of Texas, may be regarded as a certainty. The claim is by no means unreason able. Annexation ought to be had and everything indicates that it will be. A London dispatch claims that documents have been discovered at Georgetown, British Guinea, confirm ing the British boundary claims. This has about it the air of improbability but if true only goes to show that prior to such discovery British bound ary claims lacked confirmation and Great Britain intended to override all objections without such confirmation. The discovery is timely for British interests. The Journal has the publishers of the Netv Bedford Mercury to thank for a copy of their latest souvenir publica tion on the recent celebration of that city's semi-centennial. This publica tion consists of a compilation of the series of souvenirs issued by the Mer cury on the occasion of the celebration, and is issued to meet a popular de mand. It is made up of a series of in teresting articles on subjects con nected with the city and the occasion beautifully illustrated by as fine half tone work as we have ever seen. The Georgia Legislature evinces a disposition to play foot ball with the convict lease question. In other words while waging wroth over the occasion al foot ball catastrophe they are likely to neglect to apply any remedy, at least any adequate one, to the terrible system of farming out the bodies and souls of state convicts to heartless and conscienceless contractors. The condi tion has been exposed in all its hideousness; the Governor has called for some action that may relieve the state of this overwhelming disgrace but the contractors with money and a political pull are in fair way to shut off legislative reform at the point where it turned from the senseless foot ball question to others of real import ance. It has all along been apparent that the United States government was doing much more effective work toward preventing filibustering than the Spanish government itstlf. Spain’s navy has captured but one filibuster, the Competitor, while Uncle Sam has interfered with not a few of the most skilfully laid plans of the filibusters. It is said the reply of our State depart ment to Spain’s representations of in difference on our part will show that eight vessels have been employed in this work, cruising over 75,000 miles in their police duties, capturing seven vessels engaged in that work, and breaking up a number of other ex peditions which were intended to oper ate from our ports in violation of our neutrality laws. Must Wait lor a Corract Estimato. No one denies that the hideous con dition among the poor in Cuba has al ready been considerably relieved by the policy of the new regime. Consul General Lee is said to have informed the state department that the concilia tory efforts are producing a change fo: the better, but that a considerable time must elapse before a satisfactory estimate as to the beneficial effects of the new policy can be made. Certain ly this is reasonable and until such time has elapsed it will only be rea sonable on our part to keep our hands off. Just now there is a good deal of controversy over the _ proposition to leave the tariff in the bands of the Cubans. The Spanish manufacturers strongly oppose such a plan, while on the other hand the Cubans would be foolish to accept anything short of such a concession. But the plan really provides a way in which Spanish duplicity may play the part always to be expected of it without such llagrant exhibition as was made by them after they had succeeded in inducing the Cubans in the previous war to lay down their arms. It is provided in the clause in relation to the tariffs in the government’s proposed scheme of autonomy for Cuba that a mixed com mission, to be composed of Cubans and Spaniards, shall be created, to fix tint tariff. The rates fixed by the commis sion are to be adopted by the Cuban chamber of deputies ar.d then ap proved by the Spanish Cortes before they become effective. Should the mixed commission come to a deadlock, the Cortes is to be the arbiter of the question at issue. Thus the Cortes, which really is not a representative assembly but easily made the tool of the ministry or vir tually deprived of power, is to have the final word in all Cuban tariff questions that may arise. To Klondika by Airship. To Klondike by air ship is the start ling information, or rather statement brought by the Associated Press from San Francisco, a statement it is said, based on the word of the noted in ventor, Hiram S. Maxim. He is re ported as declaring that an airship is now in process of construction, which will make its first voyage to the Klondike, taking on passengers and freight to the weight of a ton. Thi ship is to weigh 5000 pounds, and is to be propelled by a lfi-horse power naph tha engine made almost wholly of aluminum and weighing but 900 pounds. The description of the craft is meagre but the inference to be had from it is that Mr. Maxim will not tely upon his former theory of the in clined plane. If the great inventor has been correctly reported he probably expects to do what he claims and as lie is not addicted to vain boasting we may look for some profitable result of the unwearying effort and great ex pense he has devoted to the cause of aerial navigation. It won’t do, how ever, to base too much of hope on the mere report. it win ue rememiiereii mar mr. Maxim three years ago demonstrated the probability of a practical Hying machine. He began his aeronautic ex periments in 1889 and in five years had expended over $100,000 in his experi ments. Being a very busy man he has only had his leisure moments to devote to this which he regards rather in the light of a hobby. He gave the results of all his experiments to the public but no one has taken up and carried them to completion. He demon strated that his apparatus had a lift ing capacity of over half a ton and thought it could be made to lift a ton. The Whole apparatus with equipment weighed less than 8.000 pounds. An eminent engineer styles it “a museum of inventions.” Professor Ball re marked on it that 1891 must “stand on record as the year in which the prac tical basis of mechanical flight has been accomplished.” Lynched for Stealing a Mule. On the evening of Thanksgiving day the Georgians of Waycross lynched an old darkey who was under arrest for stealing a mule. The passions of the mol) had not been inflamed by watching a Thanks giving day foot ball game but there is a suspicion that most of the par ticipants were drunk. It is not definitely known but the oc casion was a sort of celebration of the candidacy of Colonel Benjamin M. Blackburn for Congress. The colonel has announced that he will run on the Chicago platform with a plank added which favors lynching. Exuberance over this avowal may have led to the hanging of this colored man who stole a mule. Some of the Democratic brethren as sumed to bo agitated when President McKinley appointed Mr. Bliss secre tary of the interior. "He is only a business man” they said. We would call their attention to the fact that this business man succeeded in cutting down the estimates over nine million dollars at a time when it was extreme ly desirable to cut down expenditures.

The free tiader has always main tained that no country will continue to trade with another unless the latter takes in exchange, directly or indirect ly, products of the former. In this view of it they foretold a great in crease in our foreign trade under the Wilson tariff. The results were almost exactly to the contrary of what they predicted. Instead of the foreign countries opening their markets in re turn for the lower duties we placed on their goods they bought no more of us than they were obliged to and sold us all they could. Of course they got very red in the face when we raised the duties and they blustered about what they intended to do. As a matter of fact they had already done all they could and they are continuing to pur chase our goods because they need them. We opened our markets to them and they never reciprocated be cause they had received what they wanted without conditions. All the countries that objected to our recent tariff law are still buying of us and since the law went into effect have purchased of American products an amount in value $25,000,000 greater than the value of their purchases of us. during the corresponding time under the previous law.

And all its berries gleam like drops of blood. —Charles Prescott Shermon, in the Christmas Number (December) of Scribner's. Now for the Christmas presents. When they’re made we can be thankful again. Thanksgiving day was polo day in most of the Maine eities. A Bowdoinham correspondent says “a four legged hog is very much better in a community than a two legged one.” Probably because the latter fills nobody’s pork barrel save his own. An elderly Portland citizen take? great delight in looking over the re wards of merit he received as a school bay. Too many waste their time look ing over the rewards of merit they think they ought to have received in life and didn't. Two Harrington sea captains set forth the other day to demonstrate their prowess by land as well as by water. They found a fawn sleeping and shot it. Next they stumbled on a I.ear’s den with the old bear at home, also snoozing. Ho was awakned by the hullet that took his life.

In Wells there is a sort of home mis- j sionary society that works among the poor children. If there exists among j the children of that town such a de- j plorable condition as came to the no j tice of the editor of the Narraguagus Times in his town a little missionary j j effort might go a great way toward i j improving the community. There had I j been quite a number of petty thefts and he actually heard some of the i small boys planning another. They j j were arguing the question and it was j closed by this unanswerable argu- j meat: "They can't do nothin’ to no budy for stearfn.” A correspondent of the Oxford Dent ocrat agrees with the editor of that paper in "home instruction;” that "the mental, moral, social and spiritual well-being of our day school is all largely dependent upon the foundation work which has been laid at home.” He would go further and make sure by a curfew ordinance that the chil dren are at home early In the evening. I'nfortunately the curfew law does not provide for the right kind of home in struction after sending the little ones there.

Ward six, Bangor, boasts a heroine She’s the pride of the ward and her name is Kathleen Cuthberton. This is the way she won her laurels: Oil Thursday afternoon Kathleen and her friend, Hizzie Joy, also 13 years of ag together with a number of others were skating on the iee in the Kenduskeag above Morse’s mills. The little Joy girl skated upon thin iee and broke through. Her cry for help attracted the attention of all the skaters and for a time they stood horror-stricken—all but Kathleen,—who with a scream skated rapidly toward her friend and when as near to the edge of the broken iee as it was safe to venture she three. t herself upon the ice at full length and crawled forward until she could grasp her friend, then she slowly worked herself back and had nearly pulled the girl from the water, when others came to her assistance. All the neighbors of a Bangor man felt very badly and called around with their condolences when it was learned that the turkey he hung up in his stable Wednesday night had been stolen by a dog, an unusually good jumper. _ Ellsworth expects her new hardwood factory to put an end to hard times. Portland Advertiser: The ways and sayings of children are sometimes funny enough and one can never tell what kind of an idea is working itself through a child's brain. A kindergar ten teacher in this city who seldom has any disobedience from her little people thought this week that she was con fronted with a genuine case of rebel lion. A little boy, just passed four years of age, sat with his feet extended as far apart as the length of his short legs would allow them to go. “Johnny,” said the teacher, with a look of admonition. Johnny loked at her steadfastly but did not move. "Johnny, don't sit that way,” pres ently commanded the teacher. The little chap looked her squarely in the eye but remained motionless. Presently the teacher issued her ultimatum. “Put your feet together Johnny, and sit up straight.” Then Johnny innocently said, “Well. I have got my new pants on and 1 want to stretch them,” as he reluctant ly drew his feet nearer each other. The first Aroostook snow storm was so sudden and so fierce that some of the clothes lines and their contents were completely buried and some of the good people had not at last account dug out their change of linen.

She Is then wont to remark, "Polly Is hoarse today," "I have forgotten my music," or "Nobody plays since father took sick." One poor victim who slept off the effects of intoxication in the Brewer police station the other night is not sure but he had an attack of the J. J's. It seems a fellow inebriate sobered off more quickly than the other and being somewhat of ventriloquist imitated a woman’s voice in the outer office in quiring for her drunken husband. It was done so cleverly the husband thought it really was his wife looking for him. It Is needless to add that he had a decidedly ill turn. Cherrytield is to have a Ixjard of trade or know the reason why. A Biddeford reporter has told in a very amusing manner the way in which a megaphone In the hands of a Maine street clerk was made to waken the conscience of a farmer who while in town one day recently noticed a halter lying in the road. He stopped and picked it up when there came to his ears the sepulchral reverberations of a voice saying; "That is not your halter. Someone lost that.” The farmer paused. Then he stooped again to pick it up when again the voice "You are a thief If you keep it." The fanner looked everywhere hut no sign of the owner or origin of that voice was visible. Hi- threw the halter In Itis wagon: the voice threw in a re mark "It doesn’t belong to you." Finally the farmer could stand it n> longer and look the halter into one 01 the stores leaving it with tin- remark that someone had lost it. The report that a skeleton of a giant nine feet tall had been found in Cas tine will, perhaps, he better understood when the size of the reporter's imagin ation shall he known.

Maine is getting some benefit out of the Klondike craze. Some of our ves sels have left or will do so for Pacific waters. Only the other day there wa> quite a large shipment of ship building tools and material from Cantden to Port Blakely, Washington. J. S. Stevens left Bangor. Friday, for Ihe field of his lumbering operations, on the Fpper St. John. Mr. Stevens lias in all a crew of 19) men and 24 horses in three different camps, and expects to cut 1.000,000 feet of spruce. He estimates that there will lie about one-third less lumber fut this season on the Fpper St. John. A short time ago a Bangor man who was in northern Maine started off on horseback for a fishing trip. He soon came to a caribou, which did not run when it saw him. He rode up to it ami it did not appear alarmed. He dismount ed and approached it and still it did not run. With a blow of his knife he dis patched the animal. Later he learned of circumstances which would seem to ex plain the very unusual tameness of the caribou. It seems that a caribou had been caught and kept alive at a camp in I hat vicinity and had become very tame. Finally it had wandered off and it is sup posed that this was the same caribou as the one killed. When the Bangor man heard the story he was sorry for what he had done. For the past few weeks the hunters about Tuck pond have seen the tracks or an immense bear in the neighborhood of the Hon. Frank Jones’ hunting camp. One day last week Ben Havey shot at and wounded a deer in that vicinity, and while following his tracks discovered bruin's headquarters, a cave in a ledge, and the proprietor at home. He at once collected a party of hunters and they set out to beard the bear in his den. A few well directed shots stirred up the savage animal and he rushed out to punish the intruders, but they were too many for him and his career ended suddenly and fatally. It took six men to carry the huge carcass into camp and the older hunters declared he was the largest bear seen in that section. It is claimed by some pretty good judges that the better class of Aroostook farmers are gradually building up rath er than depleting their herds of neat stock, realizing the necessity of a more diversified system of farm than lias been pursued heretofore. The cattle and sheep that are being picked up. it is claimed, are purchased of those whom the pressure of old bills, in which phos phate figures largely, force to sell. With the experience they have had in the past, and a knowledge of what western compe tition means, even in a year of general potato shortage, it ought to load our far mers to beware of too much reliance on one crop produced by costly artificial ma nures.—Presque Isle Star-Herald. Says Speaker Reed in the Illustrated American: Upon our own coasts and all over the broad prairies is a history more wonderful than the gropings ot the Israelites for the Promised Land or even the overrunning of the mighty Roman empire by the great northern hordes. Our shores first attracted men by a vague hope of gold, but most of all by the longing of the English mind for land of its own. To be a tenant on any tenure was not enough. The fee simple of broad acres was the summit of desire. "I will be tenant to never a man in New England.” said a sturdy first settler who was offered the land he had tilled if he would only acknowl edge himself an occupier and not an owner. And so in the self-reliant fashion we have never lost, he aban doned the results of his toil and sought elsewhere the land of which he meant to be sovereign.

Reflections ot a Bachelor. After a while the women will get up a movement to have a curfew rung for the men. The reason why most old bachelors have never married is because they have nev* r asked any girl. When a girl can't judge a man by the company he keeps she judges him by the ■re.tS.'S in his trousers. There may be such a thing as a man convinced against his will, but there nev er was a woman convinced any way at all.

J When a female gymnast leaps blindfold through the air, the worn e n spectators usu ally think it is a terribly risk y thing to do, and wonder how she ever has the hardihood yet the leap is taken with perfect confidence be cause she knows that strong and dextrous hands are ready to re ceive her.

Women who would shudder at the risks of a gymnastic performance take vastly more dangerous chances bv trusting their life and health to the advice of some ineotn- petent, uneducated person, when they are suffering from weakness or disease. Only a skilled, experienced physician is competent to prescribe remedies for the complicated ailments of the feminine or ganism. No mere nurse is fitted to deal with diseases which demand the utmost resources of medical science. For nearly 30 years Dr. R. V. Tierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y has given special, expert attention and study to the treatment of women’s diseases. No physician in the United States has had more remarkable success in this particular field of practice. His “Favorite Prescription” has cured more cases of obstinate female diseases than any other known remedy. No other medi cine in the world so completely restores organic health and strength to suffering women. Mrs. Jacob Schaffher, of Freemansburg, North ampton Co., Pa., writes: It is with pleasure that I write to let you know the great good I have re ceived from your medicines and the self-treatment at home. I was troubled with female weakness had pains in my hack all the time, sometimes so severe that I could not lie still in bed at night. I tried different doctors but they could not help inc.

The action of the city council, in the matter of settling: the controversy over the letting of City hall to the Gormans should not he misunderstood. Mr. Chase l^s had entire charge of the management of the hall for the past 10 years. He has let it for all purposes, both local and transient, and no one. as Mr. Katon has said, has found ati> fault with the way he has managed it. Mr. Chase is not an officer of the city, but has simply been appointed by the mayor to let the hall, receive money for its use and report the same to the city council. This Mr. Chase has done. Hut when it came to the legal status of the case, Mr. Katon said that, though both the Gormans and the committee in charge of the Food fair claimed the hall for a certain date, neither were legally entitled to its use. Mr. Eaton is undoubtedly right from a legal point of viet' No one questions that, but the ci'.\ council deemed that honor de manded that the Gormans were enti tled to the hall from the fact that, although Mr. Chase was not an officer of the city, he had been allowed to book companies, and the city had en trusted him completely in the matter. The council could not see why Mr. Chase was not holden to the Gormans and if the council voted to take the hall away from Mr. Chase and the Gormans, the latter were entitled to some recompense and thus they were inclined and did vote to sustain Mr. Chase, although nearly all of them ex pressed a preference for the merchants rather than the Gormans. At the next meeting of the city cdbncil, it is said, Mr. Chase will be authorized to let the hall to any and all parties that he may chose, and by vote he will be made legal custodian of the hall, subject to no man’s order. By the way. the let ting of the hall to the Gormans in con nection with the Food fair will de prive Mr. Chase of his percentage of the proceeds of the appearance of the Gormans. No one has said anything about that point. Thanksgiving Day's Game. The Waterville High school wanted a same with the Colbys for Thanksgiving day. Although some of the Colbys had gone home to get a chance at the family turkey, a team was hustled to gether, which included “Tim” Murphy, the coach of the W. H. S. team, and Edgar Brown, a graduate of the High school, to make up the defficiency on the Colbys, and a fair sized crowd turned out to see the little fellows go up against the college team. Those who took the most interest in the game say that it was fun to see the young sters get into the game. It was a case of the big fish eating up the little fish. Big Brooks, the left guard of the Colbys, just simply walked away with As Good as the Best Prices Accordingly.

The Union Heeling. There was a fair sized audience hi attendance upon the union meeting of the pastors of the churches of this city at the Baptist church. Thursday evening. Rev. W. H. Spencer paid some attention to the, fall of New York in the recent election, and characteriz ed the result of the election as the suc cess cf a gang of thieves. Dr. Spencer was talking upon the work of the Maine Civic League, and he felt just like combing the fur of some of the municipal officers of some of the Maine cities the wrong way. He was of the opinion that we have something to lie thankful for in the fact that there is a secret ballot by means of which all well meaning citi zens can overcome the evil of munici pal misrule. We should also be thank ful for our free institutions and the Maine Civic League which is organized for the purpose of combating the municipal evils. Among the other speakers were the Rev. J. W.

Wednesday afternoon, a hors driven by Gorham Philbrook of Water ville, became unmanageable and ran away. He started at a good pace across Mrs. Newhall's lawn, but col lided with the granite post at the lower end of the driveway. Mr. Philbrook was thrown out and fell, striking his head upon the^post and receiving a se vere gash. The horse ran nearly two miles before captured. The wagon was ruined. There was an interesting flag raising in the schoolhouse near Fairfield Cen ter, Wednesday evening. Long and careful preparation had been made for the event, and it passed off in fine shape, and much credit is due these who had the matter in charge. Large numbers wc-re present and everyone en joyed the programme. The exercises consisted of tableauxs, and declama tions by the children and short patri otic speeches from a few of the gen tlemen. A fine flag now floats over that little schoolhouse, bearing witness to the patriotism and loyal, hearty support of the district.

WELLMAN, Sole Proprietor, Augusta, Mr HOfiSEIHOCm OF OiO Antiquity oi the Craft as llluatratud in Classic Arts. The early historians made a sad mis take when' they neglected to hand down to posterity a record of the Uvea and manners of these ancient craftsmen, for by them we Could be better able to judge of the intelligence of the people of that period, as in all ages the smithy has been recognized as the center of intelligence in rural communities. I have no doubt the shocr of ancient times was quite an important chap, as his work was very essential to tin' preservation ot limb and life. While we have been deprived of a knowledge of the shoer himself and his ways we can feast our eyes on some of his' works, at least representations of them in art pictures, and it is doubtful if some of these artists didn't work their imaginations and put the siloes then In use on their subjects. Hans Berghman, in ids "Horses of Antiquity" represents a plumed knight on horseback. The horse had raised heels on his shoes, which were fastened on by nails apparently, three on each side (painted in 1473.) He had an other showing a groom leading two horses that are apparently shod with flat, thick heeled shoes. There is another picture by --.inert Dur or (1471) which shows a knight on horse back, whose horse is shod with a flat shoe having a wide web at the toe. much like the toe weight of the present day. Hr also has another good picture of a heavy draft horse that is shod witlt heel calks (1508.)

"Married life isn’t what it is cracked up to lie." remarked Mrs. Grime-sleigh. “When I married Daniel I thought it wouid lie so handy to have a man about tin* house: but lor! that's all it amounted to. He's never at home when he's wanted for anything, and if he is. he's tired or busy or something or other: and so 1 have to go to work and do tlie thing myself. 'S far as 1 can see. men are only in the way when they are In the house, and out of the way when they're wanted.”—Boston Transcript. A careless mason dropped a brick from the second story of a building on which he was at work. Leaning over l he wall and glancing downward, lie discovered a respectable citizen with his silk hat jammed over his eyes and eare. rising from a recumbent posture. The mason, in tones of ap prehension. inquired, “Did that brick hit anyone down there?” The citizen with great difficulty extricating him self from the extinguisher into which his hat had been converted, replied, with considerable wrath. "Yes. sir, did. It hit me." "That’s right.” ex claimed the mason, in tones of undis guised admiration: “Noble man. I would rather have wasted a thousand bricks than have you tell me a lie about it."—Argonaut. Fad to Death an Grain. A reader at Bowmanstown, Pa., gets no eggs, his hens eat and “sit around,” and his chicks that were hatched last spring die oft. Here is what he says: I started in the poultry business this spring and hatched about 160 chicks, of which 60 are still alive. I feed cracked corn, oats, bran and corn meal. I feed about one-half pint of mash in the morning to about 15 or 20 chicks, and one-half quart of cracked corn at noon, and about as much oats in the evening, lyhat makes them die? I have about twelve old hens and do not get an egg a fay. What can be the matter with them? They have ail they want to eat and sit around on the nests but do not lay. First, look for large lice on the skin of the heads and necks. They get grain three times a day and nothing but grain. It would kill anything to have to live on grain only. First, give no food for 48 hours, and then give the hens one ounce only, once a day. of lean meat, raw or cooked. No hens will lay that have “all they can eat.” They will get fat, die olf, and run their owner in debt. Feed a variety—meat, chopped grass, potatoes and feed rather too little than too much. Observe this rule 'No scratch, no food." That is the whole secret, of feeding in nut shell. Poultry Keeper. Andrews, who was recently elect the B,,n*or Maine Educational Nows.

It was Friday afternoon, the day on which the young pupils of the Bailey intermediate school in Thomaston were to recite their little verses. Each child fulfilled his or her mission right up to Q. until one smart, mischievous fellow strolled upon the platform and coolly shot out the following: “Speaking pieces is awful tough: I’ve spoke two lines and that’s enough!” But he lived to regret his humorous little piece, ’tls said. At a recent meeting of the Belfast teachers the subject of professional culture and training was discussed and the following decided upon: First, For general culture, Stoddard’s lectures to J be read by each teacher either alone or in groups or clubs.

The acquisition of practical knowl edge rather than a mere memorizing of facts is becoming more and more i the aim of the public school. An illus tration of this was afforded at the recent Oxford county teacher’s con vention. where one speaker declared that a manual training department should be in every high school and expressed himself in favor of more laboratory work; another recommended more nature study and told of one woman, lost on one of our Western prairies, who was led to find water and habitation from remembering what she was taught in nature study in school, and a third favored a rigid study of the dictionary. "A teacher cannot enthuse a school when they are confined to their text books wholly,” said another speaker. “Make the school alive." Another spoke of the use of tobacco by some educators and longed to see the time when the use of it would debar men from superintending and teaching school. Lisbon was one of the first towns to abolish the old-fashioned district sys tem, though many residents of the town can look back to the time when the teachers were hired by the agents: when the spelling school was the social event of the neighborhood, and the news that one school had spelled down another, hitherto invincible, caused as much excitement as the rumor of a foot ball victory now arouses. “The spelling match of olden time was a most picturesque event," said an old resident of Lisbon, recently. “It never failed to bring out the whole neighbor hood. I remember well the excitement which prevailed on one of these occa sions when District No. 1 which had spelled down all the schools far and near came within a hair's breadth of losing its laurels by reason of the six foot tellow. who being the oldest boy in school, was sure he must be the best speller. What a burst of applause shook the rusty stove funnel when the cutly-headed girl whom everyone had thought almost too small to be chosen to spell the word and District No. 1 was again victorious! During the ex citement nobody had noticed that it had been snowing heavily and a frisky wind had sealed the outside door. The boy who couldn’t spell could shovel, and most of the boys could do both. We all got home before morning, but it was a tough plow through the drifts. Lisbon points with pride to Prof. W. H. Hartshorn of Bates College, who was once the "star” pupil in Lisbon schools; and to Frank A. Munsey, author and publisher, who says he owes most of his education to the Lisbon schools. A large number of good teachers in New England and elsewhere, and not a few successful business men in various parts of the country, are also enrolled on the Lisbon school alumni. Lisbon has al ways been liberal in its school ap propriation: not only for the villages, but even in the remoter districts the school buildings are kept in thorough repair. A handsome High School build ing has been erected within a few years. ContinuoiM Egg Laying. No breed of hens will lay an egg each day for any very long time without a period of rest, says an exchange. This is true even of what are called the non setting varieties. There are a few days rest generally, though sometimes not more than one or two. between different settings. It is really surprising to see a small hen—and some of the best layers are usually of small breeds—producing her weight in eggs within three or four weeks. For its bulk, the egg furnishes the most nutritious food that a man can eat. Except its shell, everything is eat able and nutritious. Hut all hens havo to pass sometime In moulting. To pro duce a new coat of feathers takes much the same kind of nutrition as to produce an egg. During this period, therefore, egg production ceases, and if moulting is delayed until cold weather the fowl does not usually begin laying until spring.— Fanciers' Itevlaw, t Railroads and Steamboats.
