New Goods Again,

Did not one know the way in which Mr.. Gil
LEN does business, the opinion might prevail
that he was this season in chronic state Of reck-
lessness, viewed in the light Of the amount Of
goods received by him. Not only did he open
the spring trade with an enormously large stock
but almost every week since has he made large
additions thereto. His splendid trade, however,
has warranted TIE immense arrivals, since his
aim is always to keep the stock complete in guam
uty and variety. Among
THE ARRIVALS OF THIS WEEK,
We note, as II matter Of general Interest,",
4 nerc line Of summer silks.
4 ncc line Of brotdde silks.
4 ne,c line Of plain and lac, bmtings
4 nctc line Of those ulegtdlied black castmereS.
4 nelc linz Of monte cloths.
4 ne,c line IF cambric, h,cns, li,en ldunS, &c.
The finest stock IF grenadines in the market.
Ind many othsr desirable goods.
Really this mammoth stock of dress goods
must be seen to be appreciated, being unsur-
passed by any house in this county in variety
and desirability. We might call especial atten.
ton to the superb stock Of black and fancy silks
for which Mr.. GILLEN has always been noted,
and note the TACT that he is offering the best black
six i" the county al $50 per yard. Indeed new
prices have been made in nearly all lines OF dress
goods; SO that the entire stock will be well
worth the attention Of all classes Of buyers.
In all other lines OF dry goods and in the hat,
boot and shoe and grocery departments, the pub
lie will find complete stocks, on which adyana,
gccus prices will be made. No house in the city
is more able to satisfy buyers than Mr.. GILLEN's
and all that he desires to prove to buyers that he
can offer them bargains is a call

ticket. If not, vote the Republican
ticket" The answer comes in a Re-
publican majority OF 459. The five
cities which were disfranchised by
Governor Garcelon and Council held
elections Monday. Portland reports
a Republican majority for Mayor of
1921, against Democratic majority
of 40 last year. Lewiston shows a
Republican gain of $50. Rockland,
which elected Republican Mayor
last spring, on the third trial, by a
majority Of 55, now doubles the ma
jority, and the Republican ward tick
cts are chosen in every ward but one.
In Saco every ward is Republican; a
year ago the Democrats carried two
wards. In Bath the Democrats made
no nomination, and General Hyde is
elected Mayor. Coming next to the
towns whose Representatives we're
counted out, we find Skowhegan
electing Mr.. Stewart, the Represent
alive, first Selectman, 402 to 1876.
Pennington, which was Fusion last
spring, now turns up with Repub-
lican majority. Fairfield elects the
whole Republican ticket. Norway
shows a Republican gain Of 40.
Deering barely elected Republican
Representative, who was deprived OF
his seat by the Fusion Legislature,
and Deerlng now, for the first time
since the town was incorporated
elects full Board Of Republican Of
| ficers.

Power of Webster,s Eyes.

The first criminal case Mr.. Web
ster was engaged in was when in the
practice of the law at Boscawen. He
was junior counsel, and the case was
tried at Plymouth. At the exami-
nation Of witness, who was one of
your moderate-speaking, seIf-poised
men, the impression was fixed upon
the minds of the counsel that he had
not told all. Every approach the in
genuity of counsel could make was
made upon him; still he was. the
same. Jeremiah Smith, of Exter,
was the Presiding Judge, a man un-
equaled in his acuteness. He ques-
toned the witness with similar sue
cess. AS he was stepping down from
the stand, Mr.. Webster, giving the
man one of his looks, said: "Mr.
Witness~ asked him one question,
ard drew from him the answer they
had been so long after. Upon anoth :
er occasion, while he resided at Ports
mouth, man from Newmarket was
ptOoSCuvCu anu dNDCdE
before three Justices at a certain
hour of the day. Webster inquired,
''Before whom are you summoned"
The man told him. Il will be there" !"
said Webster. This Justice-in. Chief
was not of savory reputation, which
Webster knew. So mounting his
horse, he ro e in q chill November
day to Newmarket. Entering the
courtroom he found the Justices
awaiting his arrival before q good
fire. He stopped at the fire to warm
himself, occasionally turning his eyes
upon the offensive Justice. The
Justice rose, went out of the room
and did not return, and as the law
required his client to be arraigned
before three Justices, and there were
but two present, he secured his dis
charge, thus "looking Justice off the
bench

mon and simple that any one and
every one may safely use it. at the
meeting DR.. Kedzie showed by ex-
periments that muslins and tarlatans,
the most infiammable goods, when
treated with it could not be made to
burn with a blaze. If all cotton
dresses and underclothing, and
especially the clothing of children,
could be treated in this way with
borax, a great number of lives and
much suffering would be saved every
year. -
DR.. Kedzie said he expected that
one of these days some shrewd
fellow would use this receipt, and
mix starch and borax, and sell it as
Asbestos Starch" or some other
catching name, at 500 or 800 per
cent. profit, and get rich out OF it;
when the people could just as well
do their own mixing and save the
profit.
Another practical receipt, given
by DIR. Kedzie, was to render wood
uninfammable. He said thst a paint
or wash made of skim milk, thor
oughly skinned, and water brine
would produce this result, and he
proved it by experiment. He said
this paint or whitewash, was dura-
bic, very cheap, impervious to water,
Of agreeable color, and as it would
prevent wood from taking fire, be
urged its use, particularly on roofs
outbuildings, barns, &c.
In another connection, DR.. kedzie
stated fact in regard to sugar
which may be practically useful in
cooking. he said, that cane sugar
is two and q half times as sweet as
grape sugar. which is closely allied
| to it, and differs so little from il
that many persons can not distin
| guish it. BY cooking, the cane
sugar may be changed to, grape
sugar, and thus lose its sweetenine
power. Some women will put the
sugar in with Q mass Of acid fruit
to be cooked, and keep cooking, and
keep adding sugar, while it keeps
on growing sourer, until at last they
will use two and q half times as
much sugar as they ought to secure
the desired result. The cane sugar
has been changed to grape sugar
Now, if the sugar had been added
after the fruit was cooked, much less
wonld have been required, and the
result would have been far more
satisfactory.

An Even Thing.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The other day two strangers were
toasting their shins on opposite sides
of big stove in q ferry wharf sa-
loon, and it was noticed that they Of
ten looked at each other as if almost
certain that they had met somewhere
before. Finally one Of them got up
and said: Hgtff
stranger, I've seen a face almost
like yours. Did you ever have a
brother Billl"
"Yes."
"Was he sailor2'
"He was" Z
'Did you hear of him last about
ten years agog"
"Yes; just about ten years ago"
"Stranger," continued the first,
seeming greatly affected, .Pve sailed
with your brother Bill. We were
wrecked together on the Pacific, and
before help came I had to kill and
eat him! / knew you must be rela-
ted. I'm awful sorry it was your
brother, and though 1 was driven to
it and the law can't touch me, I'm
willing to pay you damages. Be
kinder fair with me, for Bill was old
and tough. About how much do
you think is fair?'
The other wiped 8 tear from his
eye, spat across the stove and re-
piled:
"Stranger, where is your dad?"
"Been dead these twelve years."
"Died in Nevada, didn't hep"
"Yes, out there somewhere
"Well, l killed him! / knew you
were his son the minute, I saw you.
He and / were in a mine, and one day
as we were going up in the bucket I
saw the old rope was going to break
under the strain. When we were up
200 feet I picked up your old dad
and dropped him over. 1t was bad
on him, but it saved me. Now you
ate my brother Bill and 1 murdered
your dad. and guess we'd better call
it even and shake to see who pays for
the drinks"
They shook, drank, and the old
lake captains who could not tell a lie
had to sit back and realize how sad it
was they were born with such tender
consciences.

Important Practical lnfOrma-
tlOu.

Providence Joarnal.-Dr. r. C.
Kedzie, of Michigan, is Professor OF
Chemistry in the State Agricultural
University at Lansing, and Is Presi-
dent of the State Board of Health
of that State. He is distinguished
in all his public efforts for his emf
nently practical good sense, which
makes all his services of the highest
value to the people of the State.
At Sanitary Convention" held
last week in Grand Rapids, Pro-
fessor Kedzie read paper on "Some
Conditions of Iniammability," illus.
trated by practical experiments.
The whole paper would be interest
ing to our readers; but we wish to
give briefly only two or three re,
ceipts contained in it, which must
be practically useful everywhere.
The first is to prepare cotton wear
ing apparel so that it will not burn
with a blaze, and thus remove the
danger to life from clothes taking
fire. This has been done for years
in Queen Victoria's laundry, by
adding tungstate of soda and phos.
phate of soda to the starch. but
these are not sufficiently common to
be of practical use in every commu.
nifty. The same result, DR.. Kidzie
says, may be obtained by putting
a teaspoonfM Of posodered 5oraa
into pint Of gelaatiaized common
starch. Gelantinized starch is the
starch after water has been. added
to it. 81.
This is positively harmless in III
effects upon the cloth or upon ths
wearer, is very chesp, and SO com
