The parade of Barnum's menagerie
through Washington street yesterday was
the occasion of a little incident, in which
one OF the fair sex successfully divided
with her sister on the perambulatine
chariot the attention of the admirinS
plebeians. The woman in question had a
quantity of lu1uriant, golden curls. A
male tyrant attempted to force his way
through the crowd, when the tips of his
umbrella caught the intervening obstacle
and bore away in triumph the golden curls.
The shorn blonde stood in amazement
watching her disappearing hair, until it
dropped off into the mud, when amidst
the jeers of the wicked bystanders she
rushed forward and rescuing it was lost
in the crowd. Boston Advertiser.

john CARDIFr's SWORD. Hon. Il. l..
Hamlin has shown US a very unique and
formidable looking sword, presented TO
the Bangor Historical Society by Capt
Chas B. Sanford 1t was recently dis
covered about foot below the surface of
the ground, by workmen who were plow-
ing about the new Wassaumkeag Hotel,
near the site of old Fort Pownal, at Fort
Point. The weapon in nearly four feet
long, has double circular guard about
the handle, weight about four pounds,
and though somewhat rust-eaten, it is in
a good state of preservation. There are
various opinions concerning the age of
this relic, some supposing it to have been
used by some soldiers in the ancient fort
Quilt in 1852 and others think it was in
use in the Hampden battle and afterwards
buried by some discounted trooper. The
general opinion seems to be. however,
that it must be the lost sword Of the Car
diff Giant as it is too heavy for a man o f
common strength to WELD. Ban gor

An Irishman, suffering severely
from the toothache, called upon a dis
tinguished physician and witty dem
fist of his native land to have the
tooth extracted.
"Oh, Docther, darlin' I'm suffering
terribly; can you aise the pain ?"
"Sit down here" said the Doctor,
"and I'll fix you all right in a jiffy."
"Docther, dear, will it hurt me
much?"
"If it DON'T" said the Doctor, joe
osely, 81 won't charge you a cent"
The poor fellow opened his mouth,
and, in a twinkling, the Doctor had
hold of the offending member; and
gave such a twiteh in drawing it that
his patient gave jump anda scream,
as if he thought his head was off.
ibid it hurt you much ?n asked the
Doctor, as the poor sufferer was hob
bling round, groaning loudly and
holding on to his head and jaws with
his might.

"What!" exclaimed the astonished
Doctor.
"Oh, not q bit, Doether, not a Bit"
The Doctor concluded that he was
euchred out of his fee that time, sure.

THE CHRONICLE.
How TO Prevent Colds.

l. Eat plain, unstimulating food,
and avoid rich pies and, puddings,
rich gravies, fat meats, etc. Especial
ly guard against over-eating. If the
bowels are c~onstipated and the other
eXcretOry organs over-worked and
weakened by the effort TO throw off
the excess of food, the person is far
more liable to colds, and to other dis
eases as well.
2 Avoid hot, stimulating and al
coholie drinks of every kind. The
tendency of all is to weaken.
3. Always have your sleeping room
well ventilated. More colds are caused
by sleeping in hot, close rooms than
in any other manner.
t. Take daily outdoor exercise ac-
cording to your strength. 1t is better,
as q rule, to get out in a storm even,
if you are suitably protected, than to
remain in all day.
5. Always breathe through the
nostrils and not through the mouth,
especially when going from q warm
atmosphere to a cold one.
6. Dress loosely, so as not to inter
fere with respiration or the circula'
ton of the blood, and dress so as tC
keep the extremities particularly the
feet, warm and dry.
z. Rub the entire surface of the
body daily with a sponge, towel, Oh
with the hands wet in cool or cold
water; wipe dry, and rub briskly
with dry oarse towel until the Skin
is all in a glow. 1t can all be done in
three minutes. 1t should be done il
a warm room, unless it can be done
in a cool room without the least bit o
chilliness being produced. The per
son should feel warmer after the batf
than before, otherwise he may know
that he has not taken it properly

BONE FELoN.-Ofall painful things
a there be any so excruciatingly
painful as a bone felon? We know of
none that flesh is heir to, and as this
malady is quite frequent and the SUBJ
ject of much earnest consideration,
we give the latest recipe for its cure,
which is given by that high authority
the London Lancet: "As soon as the
pulsation which indicates the disease
is felt, put directly over the spot afy-
blister about the the size of your
thumb nail, and let it remain for six
hours, at the expiration Ofwhieh time,
directly under the surface of the bis
ter may be seen the felon, which can
easily be taken out with the point of
q needle or a lancet"

Give Water Freely.

Horses and oxen at work need wa
ter often. The ploughman carrie his
jug of water, or leaves his teams to
rest while he goes for a drink. But
the team works harder than the dri-
yer, and probably need drink as oft
en- /; yet many teams are taken out
early in the morning, to the prairie
field where there is no water, except
in the drivers jug, and worked five or
six hours before they can get a drop.
Is it any wonder that they are injured
by drinking too much when led to
the spring at noon? AS an act of kind
ness TO the horses and oxen that serve
man so faithfully, and as a matter of
economy, We recommend that in all
cases where water is not in, or near
the field in which the team is at work,
q tub should be furnished and filled
with water as regularly as the plough
mans Jug. This, with a bucket may
easily be set in the wagon and taken
to the field, and the team should be
permitted to drink once, at least every
half day, and oftener if the weather
is warm. If every n would adopt
this plan, we would hear no more Of
water founder" The teams would
be more vigorous and hardy, and per-
form more labor for their owners.

What we need now in life, above
everything else, is Christian men who
take the lead IN manly pleasure, and
make them honorable and noble.
Pleasure is of God. So is suffering.
Joy and sorrow are both OF them born
of God. There is a manly way of
employing ones self which is not
only permissible, but mostwholesome
and, in moral things, most beneficial.
Let men be free to take all rational
amusement, free to take Joy, and that
abundantly; and yet the moment
pleasure, and its permissiOns, become
soiled or even sullied, let men turn
away from them, and scorn them,
and loathe them, so that the world,
looking on them, shall see that they
are linen of pleasure" not in the
sense they are men of no conscience.
but in the sense that they are men OF

Almost anAceident.

The Erie Railway, near ShohOla,
Pennsylvania, was the scene of a mar
now escape from a terrible accident on
Sunday morning. The switchman
appears to have been too sleepy to at
tend to his business, and as the east
ward bound lightning express was
nearing him he displaced the switch.
Four passenger cars, the baggage car
and the engine were thrown from the
track. PrOvidentially the train was
moving slowly ct the time or there
would have been another holocaust.
A few feet beyond the spot where the
accident occurred the Delaware River
flows eighty feet below, and only a
few feet further still is adeep chasm
through which the Shohola Creek
passes and over which the railway
runs. Down one of these precipices
the entire train would have dashed
had its speed been greater. Some
sympathy is excited for the switch
man because he is a one-armed sold
Ter, and has heretofore been a careful
switch tender. It is possible the
present narrow escape from the re-
sponsibility of a terrible accident may
keep him wide awake in the future,
but it is not good policy to let person
al sympathy condone carelessness OF
ineficiency where so many lives
were involved.

blackguardi in England, with mob OF
thieves and murderers at his back,
attacked Fifield, the old family resi-

the ugly leader of the band that "such
a good-looking man as he should be
captain of such an ill-favored band OF
robbers. Never again will 1 trust to

hattery so touched the vanity of

The title of Doctor was invented in
the twelfth century. Irnerius, a learn
ed professor of law at the University
of Bologna, induced the Emperor
Lothaire II, whose chancellor he was,
to create the title, and he himself was
the first recipient Of it; he was made
Doctor of Laws by that University.
Subsequently the ii lie was borrowed
by the faculty of theology, and first
conferred by the University of Paris
on Peter Lombard. William Gorde-
Mo was the first person upon whom
the title of Doctor of Medicine was
bestowed; he received it from the Col
lege of Asti. in 1929.
