A Good Housewife.

A good housewife. when she is giving her
house its spring renovatinr. should bear in
mind that the dear inmates of her house are
more precious than many houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by purifying the
blood. regulating the stomach and bowels to
prevent and cure the diseases arising from
spring malaria and miasma. and she must
know that there is nothing that will do it so
perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters. the pur-

FAIRFIELD News. Fairfield lumbermen
report good logging in the woods. There is
plenty Of snow, and everything indicates a
large winters work, with good drive next
spring. Our mills will have plenty to do.
Lumber is in good demand, brings good
prices, and our lumbermen propose to take
advantage of it.-It would seem as though
the mill waste question was about to be set
tied, by our having pulp mill, run by steam
power, which will use all the spruce slabs.
edgeings, sawdust, etc, for pulp, and all the
rest of slabs. edgcings, etc, for fuel. twill
be grand thing for the mill-men. but will
make fuel scarce and high for the Canadian
population. both here and in Waterville, who
now gettheir fuel for little or nothing.-A new
industry has just been started here. which
bids fair to increase both in the amount of bns-
mess done, and the profits thereof. The
Spring Balance Suspender Co. has made and
already thrown some sixty dozen of the Ger
AIDS Patent Spring Balance Suspenders up
on the market. They are meeting with
ready sale. In fact it Is an invention which
has only to be seen to be appr, ciated; simple
and durable; adjusts itself to any style OF
clothing and form. Both the proprietors, A.
C. Doty and VIM. Bradbury. are young men
of integrity and business capacity. and we
expect to see their business largely increased.

The SOLAR EcLIrsE.-While our readers
are slipping their coffee this morning and nib
bling their rolls, an eclipse of the sun will be
going on as the orb of day rises in the eastern
sky. The sun will make his first appearance
with his glorious proportions marred, for
dark shadow will be advancing on his north
eru limb and dimming the brightness of his
morning beams. This phenomenon is known
as a solar eclipse, and Is caused by portion
of the dark body ofthe moon passing between
,s and the sun. The eclipse will be at ia;
the sun will rise cclipsed at 7.30; the
greatest obscuration is at SIP, and the
ec,;pse will end at Oil. When
the sun rises the eclipse will have
been in progress about quarter Of an hour,
and little more than one-fifth of his disc
vii, be observed. The shadow will advance
and the darkness will increase for about
three-ouarters of an hour. when nearly one
half of the sun will be eclipsed. and we can
realize. in a slight degree, what would be
our unfortunate condition if the great lumi-
nary we're deprived Of half his illuminary
power. The greatest point of observation is
then reached; it will take an hour for the
eclipse to pas. of, and little after nine the
.bow will b.. over. Observers can easilv
watch its progress. for view Of the eastern
sky and piece of smoked glass are all the
apparatus required. These are the data for
the eclipse in this vicinity; farther north the
elpse reaches larger proportions, the great
est eclipse occurring in Greenland, where
nearly three-quarters Of the suns disc is OBJ
scured. At the time of the eclipse the sun
and moon are very nearly At their least pos
