Maine's Great Staple and Those Who Harvest It-Their Profits and Losses In the Past and Their Hopes for the Fu- ture
 [F.w. s. Blanchard in Ballou's Monthly.]
 The situation of the Kennebec is highly favorable to the formation of solid merchant able ice, and the sources of it's water supply are such as to insure it's purity. Its current is strong enough to keep it pure, and there are no large cities on it's banks to pollute it with their sewerage. But it was not until 1970 when the ice crop south of Boston failed, that the enterprise attracted the at tention of business men in this vicinity. Extensive preparations were made that sea- son, wherever favorable sites could be pro- cured; and large quantity of ice was har- vested and readily sold in southern cities The profits realized were large, which in- duced many companies to organize and pre- pare to take advantage of the next season. This next winter proved to be severe, good supply of ice was secured wherever it had been obtained before and, consequently the Kennebec men lost heavily on their venture. But, undaunted by their losses, they strove to recover their lost ground, and contracted for term of years to supply southern deal. CTS. Some constructed suitable buildings from which to dispose of their ice, at whole sale and retail, as it is required in southern cities, where it quickly won the reputation
 
 market. It's superiority was soon acknowl- edged in the ice-consuming districts of the South, and companies commenced to build and buy good houses on the Kennebec to en- gage in the business
 REGENT CROPS.
 In the season of 1s75-1S76 the ice crop again failed south of Boston, and a larger quantity was stored in the river than at any other time, all of which was sold at paying prices, which encouraged those interested in the business, and convinced them that it would become the chief industry of the State.
 From 1876 to 1880 the supply was abun- dant in most States but, nevertheless, the Kennebec trade continued to increase with the demand, many old buildings were rebuilt, new companies were organized, and the in- dustry was in a most fourishing condition. In the winter of 1S79-1S8O the crop south of Boston was again almost entirely cut of, and Maine was depended upon for supply,

John Debois, who has been visiting St. Louis, will get up in the world if nothing happens to prevent, and it is possible that he may go up at the end of rope. While in St. Louis he wanted a pair of fine boots, and he went to 8 store and ordered the finest pair that could be made. He was exact in his stipulations as to the material and style, and wished them sent to his room at certain time. Then he gave the same order in anoth- CT store, except that the delivery was to be made half an hour later. The boy who brought the first pair was sent back to have the left boot stretched, and the boy who oar ried the second pair was sent back with the right one. Debois then got on the remnants, for which he had not paid, and caught the next out bound train.

HECK ER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier,
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75, 5,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed- ward G. Love- analytical chemist for the government, and recom~ mended by him for its excellence and because it contained higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the sRoyal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com- missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder s submitted to an impartial test its superiority is acknowIe, ,iged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained

Very valuable results are hoped for from an improvement in the signal service which will be attempted by General Hazen. Now the track of storm is lost at the edge of the seacoast but it is proposed to follow it over the sea by means of observations on ship board. All shipmastels are to be requested to take observations every day, and report the condition of the thermometer, barometer, wind and general character of the weather, as is done at the signal st tations on land. When this system has become well established and regular, the arrivals of vessels at ports will give very valuable data of information in re- gard to the approach of storms, as influenced by the previous condition of the atmosphere. It is believed by General Hagen that storms travel across the sea in certain general direc- tions as they do across the land, and that systematic observations will enable general prognostications to be made for the ocean of very considerable value, if not with the ac- curacy that they are for the land.

A Mystery In HagarstOwn.
Miss BoGes. ROBBED OF HER HAIR WRLi
AsLEkP, DIKs OF GRIlF.


About two weeks ago Miss Jennie Boggs,
Young lady about l6 years of age, who for
several wears past has resideded in the family
of Mrs. George Freaner, wife of the late Hon.
George Freaner, of Hagarstown, Md, was
awakened at late hour one night recently
by a noise in her bedroom. Thinking il was
one of the inmates of the house she ash ed who
was there. Hearing no response she arose
from her bed, walked to the door Of her room
and looked out in the passage, where she saw
man making hasty exit down the stairs.
She alarmed the household but no clew of
the intruder could be ascertained.
About one week ago the Young lady rose in
the morning and discovered that during the
night some one had entered her room while
she was asleep and cut all her hair from her
head. Upon informing Mrs. Freaner Of what
had transpired, several friends of the family
were summoned, and an examination Of the
premises was made. The lower door. Of the
house were found open. as well as window.
Ii is supposed that some person, jealous of
Miss Boggs' magnificent hair, which reached
nearly to her feet, had entered the dwelling.
chloroformed the poor girl and robbed her OF
her tresses
The mysterious affair caused a sensation
in the usually quiet town. and on Wednesday
last this was greatly intensified when il be.
came known that Miss Boggs was seriously
i'll. The best medical aid was summoned but
despite their efforts the girl died. She was
born in Baltimore, and adopted by Mrs
Freaner when quite young and had received
the kindest treatment from Mrs. Freaner's
family. The cause of her death is said to
have been an acute attack of cholera morbus,
but the general opinion is that she died from
grief at the loss of her hair as she would sit
from morning until evening and complain Of
the nefarious act. Her funeral was largely
attended

Indian corn, 1916 -O.3
Comparing the corn with the oil cake. it is
seen that the former is rich in ntrogen-free
extract consisting chiefly of starch. while
the latter is richer in the more valuable pro-
teiD and fat. In the most suitable kind of n
ration there is a certain proportion between
the nitrogenfree substance and the protein
which contains nitrogen. and out of which,
only. new flesh can be found to make new
growth or TO repair waste. In ration made
up from the ordinary produce of the farm
there is usually too large proportion of
nitrogen-free substance; and to bring the
different nutriments into the right proportion
We should not add Indian corn but rather oil
cake with its large quantity of protein; but
if cake cannot be had at profitable prices
middlings will answer better than corn be-
cause richer in protein.
In hay of the best quality the proportion of
the several kinds of nutrients, the proteins
