A story is told that one Of the Bangor Pnll-
man trains last week had a new condactsr.
Between Portland and Bangor this conductor
lost his cap, and stopped The train, ordering
the engineer back. The engineer backed the
train quite distance and then stopped. The
conductor told him to back further. The en-
gineer asked for what reason. The conduc-
tor replied that he was ''boss" of that train
and for the engineer to obey orders. The
latter said he would back no farther unless it
was absolutely necessary, for the fast freight
was close behind and he wouldn't risk the
passengers lives. "Confound it, says the
conductor, 81 forgot all about that freight
train. Go ahead and crowd on steam" If
the story is true that conductor will probably
be numerically joked about that cap Port

1t is doubtful if the publication of accounts
OF large yields in hen fruit is really in the
interests of that profitable branch of barn
yard industry. We have a letter from a
correspondent stating that such publication
has had a most disastrous influence among
the hens in his neighborhood; hens he is in
favor of the suppression of such items. A
neighbor of his had a very valuable hen who
laid her egg regularly every day, Sundays
not excepted, but under the eggs citement
created by the news of big eggs, was bound
to egg.cell all others, and took it into her
head to lay goose egg, and died in the at

Plain English.

There is no good reason why an English speaking
people should be doctored in Latin. If we.should
describe tine properties of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters in the jargon of the profession, not one
reader in twenty would understand what it is good
for. We prefer to say in simple words that it pos
qualities of the highest order; that the Vegetable
ingredients of which it is composed are eminently
wholesome and salutary, and that the stimulant
which is combined with them is the purest that can
be manufactured. We prescribe it, not in gar
bed Latin, but in the good old mother tongue, as a
remedy fer angour, debility nervousness, indiges-
ton liver complaint. fever and ague. constipation
rheumatism and low spirits, and as preventive OF
every disease produced by foul air, whether il
stagnates in crowded work rooms or imperils life
and health IN swampy districts and new clearings
So the masses say, and SO they have been saying
