THK most important contribution yet
made u the controversy over tue utility o.
the study Of Greek is au ac1ouut of the
results in the foremos. seat OF learning in
the world, the Berlin university, of the
experiments made there to determine
whether or not Greek was an aid to the
requirement of the physical sciences
which, tits claimed by the anti. Hsllenics,
are crowded out for Greek. Ths sum
ming up Of the whola matter is that, after
ten or ffteen years trial aud close obser-
vstiou, the unanimous conclusion of the
faculty ia in favor o. Greek and it is
found that, as between students drilled in
Greek and those who we're trained in the
schools where it was not studied, the
young men who had classic training were
almost invariably superior to the others
''in scientiac impulse and apprehension,
and In capacity for a deeper unders tand
ing Of their science"

De LEssErs has rival in Henry Willis,
an octogenarian Of Michigan, who has set
his heart on the construction Of q canal to
connect Lakes Michigan and Erie. For
four years he has been at work trying TO
convert tho Michigan legislature to his
view Of the project, expecting to work
therefrom to Congress for aid In the com
pletion of the work. The proposed canal
is ll2 feet wide and 10 feet deep aud
would admit vessels of 1000 tons burden
Its protector claims that 1t would drain a
million acres Of swamp land making the
best soil for cultivation, aud there is no
doubt that 1t would bring the lake traffic
10 the doors Of the Eastern cities in one
tlfth Of the time now required. The build
ing Of such canal is by no means impos
sible In the near future.

The country is flooded with cheap pictures
Of Blaine, but the people are not satisfied
with anything but frst-class engraving and
a correct likeness of the "Plumed Knight, f"
who is to lead the republican host to victory.
The great cost Of producing a large steel
engraving prevents the timid from so great
an undertaking, but B. Russell OF Boston,
recognizing the fact that Blaine is the most
popular man ever presented for the high Of
fee of President of the United States, has
without regard to cost secured the services OF
j. w. Watts, one of the finest artists in this
country, 10 engrave on steel, imperial size,
the likeness of James G. Blaine.
The engraving is what is known as mixed
style, of line, stiFple and mezzotint, produc.
ing the effect OF both strength and delIcacy
of finish. The high reputation OF the artist is
guarantee of the correctness of the like
ness
Blaine clubs will want to adorn the walls
of their rooms with the finest picture of their
leader TO be found. Merchants and bankers,
in fact, all classes will want to grace their
offices and homes with fine picture of our
next president. There is no doubt but that
this superb engraving will be the finest thing
ofthe campaign. Printed on plate paper.

in every respect. A good gathering OF peo-

programme carried out to a letter. The read

Gahan, were both well rendered. Music by
a waterville Band. The display by the

best that ever occurred here, and we doubt

the programme.-Dr. Martin caught nine

Mr.. j. X. Stewart of Macon, Ga. a we'll
known and trustworthy gentleman. makes
the following statement; MY son, who was
between three and four years old, was all
drawn up with rheumatism. His bones were
twisted, and he was all doubled out
of shape. He suffered intense pain, had lost
his appetite, was cross and fretful. He was
reduced to q mere skeleton, and had to be
carried about on a pillow. As these cases
where the bones were twisted and the joints
were all crooked had for years baffied the
skill of the most eminent physicians, de-
termined to use Swift's Specific, as l had
seen testimonials frem men whom knew to
be trustworthy. of similar cases it had cured.
l used two large size bottles of S. s. S. &C.
cOrding TO directions, with the most satisfac-
tory results. My son commenced improving
with the first dose of the medicine. His
sufferings diminished daily and his appetite
increased; he became cheerful and in good
spirits. Gradually he regained use of his
limbs, the twisted bones and joints
Strengthened out and in less than two months
he was entirely cured, and could walk and
get about as well rs snv child of his age"

The Hot Weather

OF mid summer has weskning effect, both
upon body and mind. You feel absolutely
incapable of doing any srduous work, and
even light duties are performed lsnguidy
and unwillingly. This low state of the sys-
tenn causes even greater intiirmity, and gives
opportunity for serious disease to gain foot
hold. In this condition the system is quick
to respond to the reviving, quickening, ard
strengthening effects of Hoods Sarssparilla,
which purifes the blood, regulates the diges-
tive organs, and infuses fresh life and vIsor
into every portion of the body. People who
have taken il write us, saying: at puts new
life right into me-" 1T makes me young
