MAINE mining news is rather mesgre thi.
week But, although there are no special
developments to chronicle, the good work
goes on uninferruptedly, and the mining
operations throughout the State are being
pushed with vigor and energy that will
soon be productive Of gratifying results. The
numerous shafts in process of sinking have
already proven the existence of ore bodie.
and the valuable character of the ore. and
Inc companies operating are now established
upon basis which does not neces.itate a .us-
pension OF work every now and then until
their treasures can be replenished Con-
sequently we have only TO wair patientiy bu,

IN the Maine mining industry to be realized

and continually increasing their working force
and consequently their output, while others
are gradually falling into line as producers
and will shortly be upon paving basis and
earning money for their stockholders. This
Is not fancy, but fact. Therefore, while we
think the mining industry Of this State has
been shamefu,ly misrepresented and maligned
both at home and abroad, we can afford to
wait and see what the New Year will bring
forth. The mines have passed the stage
where they are dependent upon public opin-

Learn Your Business.

The Toronto Monetary Times has this
sensible bit of philosophy: A young
man in a leather store used to feel
very impatient with his employer for
keeping him year after year, for three
years, "handling hides" But he saw
the use of it years after when in an es-
Enlistment of his own he was able to
tell by the touch the exact quality of
the goods. 1t was only by the thousands
of repetitions that the lesson was
learned; and so it is with everything
in which we acquire skill. The half
informed, half-skilied in every bust
ness cutnumber the others, dozens to
one. Daniel Webster once replied to
a young man who asked MIN if there
was "any room in the legal profess
sion": There is always room at the
top" The better you know your bust
ness the better your chance to rise.
You can gather much information by
making wise use of your eyes and
ears, and perhaps be able to surprise
your employer in an emergency by
stepping into the next mans place and
discharging his duties satisfactorily; SO,
learn your business.

Telling Each Others Faults

The Boston Post tells of a West End
husband and wife who agreed to sit
down and have quiet chat. Each
agreed that people are blind to their
own faults; so they made an agreement
that each should be perfectly frank, and
in friendly way tell the other his or
her faults, so they could help each
other to correct those faults and ap-
proach perfection. 1t was their duty.to
help each other to attain that state. So
they began, and in less than ten min
utes the neighbors began to take an in
terest in the transaction. and stood
around and cheered to see the husband
come flying down the front steps hat
less, with his coat torn, his hair dishev-
eled, and he making desperate efforts
to keep out of reach of pair of tongs
in his wife's hands. It always works
ust that way.

WE'LL INDORSED BY OUR OWN
CITIZENS

No matter how useful anything may
be in itself, good Endorsements seem to
increase its usefulness greatly by in
surfing a wider field for the display of
its special merits. We were thus i'm
pressed in view of the following state
ments received by one of our represen-
tatives from leading individuals con-
nected with some of the largest enter
prises III our midst. Among others
whose testimony was freely given was
w. III. Stearns, ESQ, Master Mechanic
of the Conn. River Railroad, residing
at No. % Boylston street, who obsery-
ed:-St. Jacobs Oil has had remarkable
effect among the men employed here.
One of them damned his arm very
badly, and by the use of st. Jacobs Oil
was greatly benefited, and the arm was
healed. Another used it for severe
rheumatic pains in the knee, and pro-
nounced the Oil a complete success, as
he was cured by its use. Mr.. A. B.
Taylor, of the cray & Taylor Manufac-
turing Co." was pleased to say: "My
aunt, Mrs. Pillsbury, of Mount Clair, n.
j., while visiting at our house tried st.
Jacobs Oil for rheumatism and neural
gla, aud found immediate relief every

she had ever tried for the trouble" Mr..

That Iron Screw.

1t is not generally known that the
Pilgrims on board the Mayfiower held q
consultation in mid ocean, and that the
finding of an iron screw among THEN
supplies caused the voyagers to keep
OH their way toward America.
With one hundred and two precious
souls on board, the solitary vessel set
out on her perilous voyage from Ply
mouth, September 10th, and shortly
encountered heavy autumn gales. She
proved staunch ship, or she would
surely have gone to the bottom when
the hurricanes swept down upon them
with torrents of rain. For days they
ran under bare poles, shipping heavy
seas. The seams of the upper works
opened. 1t was then that the consulta-
ton, upon which so much depended,
was held, and a survey made to see if
the timbers would hold together.
One of the main beams was found to
be bowed and cracked. There was a
large iron screw, fortunately, among
the dunnage in the hold, brought over
from Holland. By means of this they
succeeded in springing the beam back
into place, and half across, decided to
make for the western shore. Mean
while, the passengers sought fresh air
on deck at the risk of their lives.
In one storm, young man ventured
out of the hatchway, and was thrown
overheard by lurch of the vessel. He
caught the end of the topsail halyards,
and ran them out for their whole
length, holding on under water till he
was dragged to the surface and fshed
on board with a boat-hook. There
was one death at sea, and one child
Oceanus Hopkins born.
After sixty-four days of bufetings,
having made Cape Cod, and vainly en-
deavored to keep to tine southwark for
New York Bay, their original dectina-
ton, getting entangled in the shoals
and nearly shipwrecked, on the twenty
first of November Saturday they were
brought to anchor in Provincetown
harbor. -PhiI. Sat. NiqIM.
