THE report of Gen. Thorn regarding the
examination of the mouth OF Kennebunk
River, of Smutty Nose Island, of Lamprey

and of Lake Winnepiseogee, has been re-
ceived flom the War Department. 1t con-

localities named, and valuable suggestions in
River, which is one and one-sixth miles in
length from its mouth to the village of Ken
nebunkport, improvements have been made
from time to time by the erection of large
stone piers and wharf, works which have
proved indispensably necessary for preserving
and facilitating navigation. The necessity
still exists for removing distractions at
''Wading Place" and at Mitchelrs Point.
Owing to very sudden bend in the river at
MitchelPs Point, as well as at the shoal
known as the 'Wading Place." much diff
Guilty is experienced in getting the large, new
ly built vessels down to the mouth of the riv-
er, as well as in its navigation by heavily
laden vessels. An appropriation of $1,000 is
recommended. 1t is estimated that the re-
moval of 4,2O0 cubic yards of mud and clay
at the Point will cost about So, 100. At the
"Wading Place" the removal of 1900 yards
of sand, logs etc. will cost about $1,000. 1t
appears that the aggregate tonnage built on
this river since 1899 amounts to over 211 ,45O
tons. In 1874 the tonnage was 11,4O6.50
tons.
Smutty Nose Island is of importance be-
cause at the mouth of Gosport Harbor, the
only harbor of refuge in an easterly storm, ex-
cept Portsmouth, between Wood Island, near
the mouth of the Saco, and Gloucester, Mass
achusetts. Fifty years ago two sea-walls
were built connecting Smutty Nose with the
two nearest islands. One of these sea- walls
is still good. The other, connecting with Ce
dar Island, has been demolished by storms
The cost of rebuilding it will be SS5,OOO.
The distance from shore to shore is 900 feet
at extreme high water. The base of the wall
is so to 100 feet wide, the top 40 TO As feet
wide, and it is proposed to rebuild it at
a height of 1S feet above mean low water.
At Lake Winnepeseogee sixteen buoys, at
cost of $500, are required on account of the
numerous shoals and lodges. At Exeter Rlv-
er $34, 900 are required for the improvement

The Innocent Old Lady.
Detroit Free Press.


She lives down on Baker street, and
she has daughter about eighteen years
old. The old lady retains all her sim.
plicity and innocence, and doesn't go
two cents on style. The other evening
when a "splendid catch" called to es.
cort the daughter to the opera the
mother wouldn't take the hint to keep
still, and wouldn't help carry out the
daug ghter's idea that they had wealth.
While helping her daughter get ready
she asked:
"Mary, are you going to wear the
shoes with the heel off or the pair with
holes in 'em?"
Mary didn't seem to hear, and the
mother inquired
''Are you going to wear that dollar
gold chain and that washed locket, or
will you wear the diamond father bought
at the hardware store ?"
Mary winked at her, and the young
man blushed, but the old lady went on :
care you going to borrow Mrs.
Browns shawl, or will you wear mine p
Mary hustled around the room, and
the mother said:
"Be careful of your dress, Mary; you
know it's the only one you've got, and
you can't have another until the mort
gage on this place is lifted"
Mary remarked to her escort that it
promised to be beautiful evening, and
as she buttoned her glove her mother
asked:
"Those are Mrs. Hardy's gloves,
amt they? She's been good neighbor
to us, and 1 don't know how you'd man
age to go anywhere if she didn't live
near us"
Mary was hurrying to get out of the
room when the mother raised her voice
once more and asked
"Did you run into Mrs. Jewett's and
borrow her bracelet and fan? q? Yes, 1
see you did. Well, now, you look real
stylish, and I hope you will have good
time
Mary sits by her window in the pale
moonlight and sighs for the splendid
young man to come and beau her around
some more, but he hasn't been seen up
that way since that night. The old
lady, too, says that he seemed like
nice young man, and she hopes that he
hasn't been killed by the street cars.

Good Luck.

A writer on "good luck " says: "We
will cap the climax by the most remark
able example of all as to how property,
now in the possession of the Earl of
EIgin, came to that nobleman. Years
ago two ladies of high position were
Joint tenants of an opera box in London.
The occupant of the box opposite was
an elderly gentleman, who used to bore
them exceedingly by staring at them
through his glass, until at last his at
tentions became a joke between them.
Time rolled on, and they had long since
forgotten all about their old admirer,
when one day a gentleman called at
Lord A. s house in London and asked
to see his sister. When she entered the
room he said : Am addressing Lady
Bruce p She said that he was. Then
I have a very agreeable and, I imagine,
unexpected piece of intelligence to COM
municate. Under the will of a Mr..
Wilson, a former client of ours, you are
entitled to a fiue estate of several thou
sands year. The lady said it must be
a mistake. She knew no one of the
name. But said the solicitor, no
Identification could be clearer Then
a thought struck him. Mr.. Wilson,
he said, 81 lies near by, in his coffin, at
Mr.. Benting's, the great undertaken, IN
James street. Perhaps you would not
mind going with me and looking at his
face She went. There was her old
enemy with the lorgnette. Not the
least remarkable part of the story was,
that he had intended to leave the fortune
to the other lady, who was the special
object of his admiration, and who he
had been told was Lady Bruce" i"

A Partner for Life.

What is the aim of nine ont OF ten OF
the young ladies who have suitors visit
ing them? Do they have any? Ger.
talnly, most of them do, only to forget
it. A little presence of mind on these
occasions would save future unhappi-
ness. The young gentleman, IN many
instances, is agreeable, gay, and han l.
some and this dazzles the eyes 30
utterly, that the young lady refuses to
look further. She should satisfy her
self on such points as these: " Will
those eyes in which Cupid now dances
so merrily, always find expression from
the love of a true soul? Now he says
many pleasant things, and draws pretty
pictures for the future. Does he go
tomorrow to work which gives promise
of the fulfillment of your desires in life?
Do his ambitions and achievements
satisfy you? Does his everyday life
shine with the noble endeavorJ Of
Trustworthy man? If you think and
desire companion in your thinking
one who would unlock tho deepest
depths of your mind-tO what stratum
of humanity does he belong in the scale
of excellence and morality? is he
doing all he can to build up future use
fitness and happiness, in which you can
share and feel blessed p
These are the questions which in the
experience of after years make many
women weep in bitterness Of soul, that
they hal not thought of before they
answered Yes" We should look out
for to-day's regulations and to.morrow's
successes. The witici ms and endear-
ments lavished 80 freely may be very
pleasant, but they will not last. They
will grow tame and spiritless; and, If
nothing else comes to take their place,
woe to the happiness vainly invoked on
the shores of the de5olation opening all
around.
