Cheap Sponges.
HOW THEY CAS- Bf pErECrEp-IHEIR EP-
FLCr ON TIE EYES.

We have all seen them, says the New
York Hdit and Express. They are for sale
on the street in all part, Of the city. They
are very pretty to look at-.o white and
clean and nice, and vltha so wonderfully
cheap. The happy purchaser feels that he
mas made point on the grasping druggist
VINO sells the SAME sized article at 50 cents,
and goes on hi, way rejoicing. One thing
j. evident on the face OF the matter, either
the druggist or the scent man Is a Swlndler
We give an illustration Of the effects OF a
short-sighted economy. \ visitor at the
house Of friend in this city noticed one day
that the three youngest children Of the fam
lly aud also the nurse, had peculiar atfec-
ton Of the eyes, which were notlceablN
swollen and bloodshot. lie inquired the
cause but the mother did not know-thought
II was a little thing. which would soon pass
off. The visitors curiosity was excited, how
ever and being of a lOgIca! and investlgative
turn of mind, he came to the conclusion that
the cause Of the trouble must be something
IN the nursery and probably in the bathing
arrangements. Upon looking further he
found one Of these bleached sponges. Tie
asked the mother where she got it, and the
reply was that it was a great bargain and
had been picked up at five-cent counter.
That was enough to explain the whole mat
ter. If you will take the trouble to smell of
one of these cheap sponges, YOU will find that
there is about it an odor OF chloride of lime
The chloride Of lime is used to disinfect
them. They need disinfecton because they
have been used in hospitals in washing out
wounds and in other ways imaginable, and
then thrown away, perhaps, TO be picked up,
bleaehed, and sold to economical persons
who wish to get great bargain. More de-
tails might be given, but perhaps this short
statement Of the case is sufficient. If the
board Of health we're in the habit Of paying
any attention TO little matters affecting the
public hygiene, We would suggest to it TO
put stop to this ) cent nuisance.

j. Winslow Jones x Co, a packing firm
doing business in Portland and owning IS
corn factories Gad lobster factories in
Maine, and II lobster and salmon factories
in the Provinces, failed Wednesday for
slS2 600. Attachments we're served on
them Tuesday night, al the instance OF Bos-
ton and New York parties.
Their assets two years ago when the cor
poration was organized were s299,0OO To
this had been added new factories during
the past wear at cost OF $4,000 re-
mote cause Of the failure is the fact that
Jones has been doing business with little
movable capital. having put all his earnings
in new factories.
The immediate cause Is that the company
built new factories during the past year ex-
pectine a heavy yield Of corn. They have
on hand at least $4,000 worth Of empty
cans.
They are indebted to farmers all over the
State who will lose large part Of it. Their
other Indebtedness is largely in New York
and Boston.

Last week Gov. Plaisted appointed
Lew Il. Wymau. Of this CITY. as Sheriff for
Hancock county in place Of William b.
Mitchell. who was rejected By the Council.
Il IS quite probable that the Governor an
tic.pated the rejection Of Mr. Mitchell but
has received assurances that the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Wyman would make hun soil d
with the party here, and tina, If the Counc..
should reject this nomination he could afford
TO 20 to the people on il. We have it on
good authority that Gov. Plaisted agreed to
nominate democrat IN place Of Comm.,-
slOuer Hopkins and republican in place OF
Sheriff Deyereux. He now SAYS. in exp.a-
nation Of his violation of that promise, that
the pressure. from here, has been so grea,
that be Is unable to carry out his pledge.
Il certainly looks as If the pressure from
this locality was rather heavy and somewhat
concentrated. OF the four appointments SC
far made by the Governor for this COUNTY
all have been residents Of Ellsworth
We are listening for the verdict Of the
Council on this last appointment.
