A Valuable Spring.
81

We have on several occasions, in years past,
made mention of an intermittent spring on the
farm of Mr.. Daniel Cook of Kite y, Me-,
which is always dry in wet and ordinary sea-
sops, but always "breaks OUT and runs freely
III excessively dry times A few weeks ago the
old gentleman moved over the spot where the
spring has appeared ia years past, and the
ground was then dry and cracked; now the
basin of the spring is full of good water, and
the supply is sufficient for the whole neighbor-
hood. That spring has good sense and knows
where to put its water SO that it shall do the
most good-Biddeford Times.

MUSIC AND TIE DRAMA.
EAST LYNNE.

EAST LYNNE.
Miss Thompson Lady Isabel and Madame
Vine, in the well-worn play Of "East Lynne, "
merit the highest commentator. 1t is true
the novel and play are full of sickly sensations
and that it may well be said that Lady Isabel,
as an Earl's daughter could not ask for much
sympathy since she had received training
from birth which taught her to know too well
the difference between right and wrong, For
all that human nature is human nature and we
may pity while we blame. Therefore the
public never fail to sympathize with Lady lsa-
bel especially when portrayed as we'll as by
Miss Thompson. In the first two acts the star
has opportunity to display her power as
comedienne which is not neglected, and a
more arch, cunning, bewitching Lady Isabel
it would be difficult to find, and therefore the
contrast with the mora powerful and emotion
al scenes is all the stronger. In the latter she
rose to a height of quiet power that was never
strained, never unnatural and carried her au-
dience with her.
Mr.. Yerance's Archibald, and Mr.. Craig'S
Sir Francis were very acceptable. Mrs. DOR
dams Corney was an admirable bit OF acting
Mr. Wooderson's Lord Mt Severn was excel
lent, and the other characters were well taken.
From Portland Miss Thompson goes to Lewis
ton and Bangor.

ton. This work is not unknown here, and
thoss who have seen it areaware that it af-
fords MIR. McAuley the opportunity to imper-
senate with rough, natural power. and with
touches of both tenderness and humor, a rug
ged old couptryman, bent on mission OF JUS
tice and benevolenee. Mr.. McAuley is an
actor of large SUPPLEMENTARY sincere in
spirit and straightforward and effective in his
professional methods. He invests the play
with personal force and interest so that the
spectator comes away with pleasing remem-
trance of downright manliness, humorous
craft, many homelike attributes and associa-
tioDs and considerable theatrical integrity"

Draining Wheat Fields.

If no other method has been devised
for draining wheat fields, which are
sometimes too wet, it will pay to plow
burrows from the lowest spots to some
still lower point outside. The drought,
which has parched even the low lands
this year, viii probably be succeeded by
an unusually large rainfall, which will
make low fields, which have not been
drained, extremely wet. Every expert
enced wheat grower knows that if water
is allowed to stand upon the ground late
io the fall the crop will not only be di-
recily injured thereby, but will also be
liable to be severely damaged by "win-
ter killing" and it should be his aim to
prevent, as far as possible, both of these
evils. A heavy rain will do little dam
age to a wheat field if provision is made
for the prompt rem wal of the surplus
watec. while a moderate rainfall upon
unirained land which is already too wet
will cause the destruction of many of
plants, snd largely reduce the possible
yield of the crop. While thorough
drainage is much better than any make
shift which can be invented, it is much
better to adopt the very imperfect plan
recommended above than it is to make
no provision for the protection of the
crop from injury bv an excess of mois-
ture in the sol.-Fdrns and Garden.

II access to the best literature Is the

years ago. The richest of the men who

months before. aud their children, in

four great cities, could not command a
sight Of a dozen new works in a. many
months. To-day the gems Of English
literature are q matter of few cents.
So marked Is the difference between the
price of works published here and In
