Is a welcome visitor in every family. Its
pages are replete with medical advice, refresh
ing humor, and much information not usually
found in such work. Its astronomical cal
culations have high reputation for accuracy.
and they are adapted, in the various editions
of the Almanac, TO all parts of the globe.
While large portion of its pages are devot-
ed TO an elaborate advertisement of the med
icinal PREPARATIONS of this house, it is a
noticeable feature that many prescriptions
are freely given for the benefit of the sick,
irrespective of Ayers medicines. These pre-
parations are universally used and appreciat-
ed for their valuable and reliable qualities.
The almanac describes the application of
these medicines to the diseases they are in
tended to cure. 1t can be obtained free of
charge of any druggist or dealer in medicine.

More interest is manifested in Maine among
teachers in their chosen vocation, to-day,
than ever before. The meetings of the Ped
agogcal Society in Augusta in October and
Of the State Teachers Association in Bidde-
ford last week have aroused and stimulated
educators. The next session of the Pedagog-
ica Society will probably be held in Bangor
in May. The State Superintendent of Schools,
Hon. N. A. Luce. had busy year, visiting all
sections Of Maine. Twenty-Five teachers
Institutes in different parts Of the State were
held, which were attended by some 300
teachers. Thirteen county associations were
formed, which, in addition to the five previ-
ously existing, swells in number to eighteen.
The cost to the State for all this has been
only $3.50. The teachers have manifested
very credtable desire to attend these
professional meetings, even at personal sac
fifce, that they might make themselvelves
more useful and valuable to the district.
Now that winter has come in earnest, and
cold air and drifting snow assail the barriers
which man has interposed to check their
power, the storm door, which has been ig
ANONYMOUSLY housed all summer, 10 taken out
and put in its accustomed place again. This
continuance is evidently an invention of the
Adversary, whose ingenuity in devisine
