The Pow err of a Devoted Wife.

1t is easy enough to win a husband
bright eye nd cooling voice can gather
In a noble hus band, but it is pretty diff
cult to retain him. Noble hush ands are
thicker than hairs on dog, but the grand
difficulty IS & % draw out their true nobility
and secure it at home. The true wife does
rot come home after the wedding ,eremo-
ny and begin to make trouble in thts faml-
ly. Far from, it, She goes to her bran
new husband, in her bridal robes, and sits
on his knee aud softly weeps the starch
out Of his shirt collar and bur1es her tt mid
little, hairpin in his eye and tickles his
nose. with her bangs. Then he is glad he
is married 6-e wishes he had thought of
it before. No wife should ever enter htr
new home on her wedding day with a
double barreled shotgun and try to start a
panic. If she only understands her bust
ness she can introduce the soothing rack
ct in her new field of operations and walk
away with the whole business. Most men
like to be loved and soothed. There is
something in the mans great, rough, earn
est nature that can be won quicker and
easier with gentleness and pie than by the
logic of the broom haudle and a bilious
course of reasoning with bread and milk
diet. We have seen girl who understood
business, take a. member of Congress by
the nose, so to speak, and lead him through
life in such way that he wouldn't know
hut that he WAS boss of the ranch, so
perfect was the delusion, that when she
asked him to bring IN a scuttle of coal, or
to get up in his night shirt and kill a
burglar, that he knew was nothing but a
bob-tailed COW four blocks away, he always
went, and he felt as though he counted 1t
a mark of special favor that poor I'M
worthy worm of tho dust, like him, should
be sought out and delegated to go and
chase lame COW across nine vacant lots
with an old barrel stave, and clothed In
nothing but IL little brief authority and a
knit undershirt. We cannot exactly de-
scribe this magic power of devoted wife
over her husband, and we do not intend to
try it. 1t is sln unseen motive, a nameleSs
leverage that makes the husband get up
in the dead hour of night and set a pam
cake batter near the parlor stove. A man
need not think that because he gets up
and looks for burg lars in the night and IS
otherwise obedient, that it IS because he
has no backbone. It is because he is the
husband of woman of whom he ought to
be proud.-Robt. Burdett.

A CHEAP WAY TO DISSOLVE BONES
This can be easily done without the use of
s,llphuric acid. Strong I've, from hard
wood ashes, will do the work, and if you
have large iron pot, or boiler, you can
hav e them ready for use in short time.
Throw in ashes and bones together for an
hour or two. Set aside and let cool. The
bones will now be found to be in soft
and bi title state and may be readily crush
ed und er slight pressure. The contents
of the boller-lye, ashes, and bones-are
all excellent material for the compost
heap.
But, perhaps, economical housekeepers
will prefer to utilize bones for soap-mak-
ing, in the first place. 1t is a good idea,
a the homes, waste lye, and other refuse,
al ter the soap is made can be carried to
th compost heap, as before. Never throw
aw az a bone, but put all away in a safe
pla ce till you have enough for good boil

An Amateur swindIer.

Postmaster Inspector Bigelow of Augusta
has been instrumental in detecting and bring
ing to justice another young man who has
been using the U. S. mails for the purpose of
defrauding and he received his sentence in
Bangor on Tuesday. Eugene A. Melvin of
South Stetson has been sending registered let
ters purporting to contain money to New York
parties in answer to advertisements; but when
the letters arrived at their destination and
were opened by the parties addressed, no
money was found enclosed. Melvin got his
idea of this swindle by clause in the adver-
tisements stating that money sent by register
ed letters was at the risk of the firm doing
business. In one of the letters was a fragment
of $40 bill, stuck on so as to make it appear
that the letter had been rified while in transit
The flap of the envelope had also been soiled,
as if it had been tampered with. These facts
were reported to the department by the Post
master of New York, and the case was put
into Mr.. Bigelow's hands, with instructions to
detect the guilty party if possible. After
careful investigation, Mr.. Bigelow became con-
vinced that the money had never been put into
the letter; and when it was learned that Mel
vim had sent similar letters to other parties in
New York, his guilt became apparent. Upon
being confronted with the evidence, and
cornered by questions, Melvin broke down, land
maze a full confession. An indictment was
found against him for violation Of the postal
laws, and he was sentenced to imprisonment
of 80 days in Portland jail

THE STRIKES

The Freight Handlers at New York.
New YORK, July 3.-The strike of the
freight handlers is still unchanged. At nearly
all the piers freight was not received until late
in the morning. No freight was received at
the Erie pier, all the doors being closed. Men
were busy inside, clearing away the platforms.
AT nearly all the piers the force OF employees
has been increased At pier 38, 140 new men
were at work; about 40 were at pier 80, and
about the same number at st. Johns Park de-
pot. At the New York Central & Hudson
River depot, foot of Barclay street, very little
freight was received, about dozen or fifteen
men being at work. Two doors at the Pennsyl-
vania dock, foot of Laight street, were open,
and freight was received. A great number of
men were at work here, and work was rapidly
being pushed forward. At the st. Johns
Park depot work was proceeding slowly.
Announcement by the Pennsylvania Rail
road.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. July 3.-The Pennsyl-
vania railroad officials announce this morning

tors on the Jersey City side; that they are now
in position to handle promptly all east and
west bound traffic, and that they anticipate no
further delay in the delivery of goods, the ma
jority of their men having gone to work at the
cid rates of pay.
Boston Caulkers to be Resisted.
BOSTON, July 3-At an adjourned meeting
this forenoon, of ship owners and shipwrights,
to consider the strike of caulkers, the follow
ing was adopted: Resolved, That the owners
of vessels, massers and shipwrights, and the
owners of dry docks and railways here present
do agree to employ no caulker at over $3.50
per day, for six months if necessary, and to re-
sist the strike for 81 per day by all lawful
means.

Yesterday afternoon Rev. S. f. Maxim, pas

ington, administered the ordinance of baptism
to five candidates in Little Ossipee river, near
Edgcomb's bridge. There were several hun
dred spectators present. Revs. H. Wentworth

Limington at the same Ltime and place. The
Free Baptist Church also received to member
ship two candidates on Tuesday last by letter.
Last Friday afternoon as Mr.. E. f. Sawyer,
station agent at Steep Falls, was attempting
to stop loaded freight car that had just been
set off on to a side track, with "pinch bar,
the wheels struck the bar at some disadyan-
tage, throwing it up and thrusting the end in
his hands through the right side of his face,
striking the face jus. above the edge OF the
lower jaw, tearing up a three-cornered piece
cutting through and coming out with one an
gle at the corner of the mouth. Had 1T struck
him under the jaw it would have crushed his
Jaw or had it struck little above and hit the
cheek bone his head would have been padiy
smashed. DR.. Moulton was immediately sum,
moned and dressed the wound. 1t Is reported
that Saturday he was out to the depot.
