Thoughtful Thoughts.

Care makes man old before his time.
Too much reserve makes us miserable
A mans best friends are his ten fin
gers.
Each one sees what he carries in his
heart.
Thinking is the talking of the. soul
with itself
Jealousy is a secret avowal of our in
feriority.
When you introduce moral lesson let
it be brief.
Nothing good is ever effected without
perseverance.
Childhood shows the man as morning
shows the day.
Anger is like day-it breaks itself up
on that on which it falls.
Any person may make mistake :;
none but fool will stick to it.
He is wise who never acts without rea-
son and never against it.
Envy's memory is nothing but row OF
hooks to hang grudges on.
Humility is the most excellent natural
cure for anger in the world.
We never deceive for good purposes.
knavery adds malice to falsehood.
Have the courage to prefer comfort
and propriety to fashion in all things.
IT there be any truer measure of man
than by what he does, it must be what
he gives.
Evil habits are webs which are too
light to be noticed until they are too
strong to be broken.

old man goes among the farmers obtaining

OF course these signatures turn up attached to

A Story of Judge Poland

Here is a 60 d story about Judge Po-
land, of Vermont, who turns up in Con
gress after having been in obscuritv since
he was showed under in 1874. The
Judge wears now the same old swallow
tail coat with brass buttons. that warm
ed him ten years ago. When he is so
dressed, with his white hair ana smooth b.
lyshaVen face, he bears a certain resem-
blance to the pictures of George Wash
ington. The Judge is very proud of
this, and his friends know it, Well, one
day he had party of ermonters at the
White House, and they happened to be
in the East room, which was completely
shaded by the heavy curtains. A com
Notwithstanding Quaker, with his wife
and two children, entered the farther
end OF the room in their sight seeing
rounds. In a corner near the Judge
stood full-length picture frame, leaning
against the wall
"Get behind that Frame" said one of
his party, "and We'll tell these people
that it's picture of Washington"
The Judge stepped briskly into the
place. Slowly the Quaker and his brood
came down the great room, he pointing
out the pictures on the wall.
"Who's that?" he demanded, pointing
toward the Judge.
''That's Washington" he was answer.

Just finished, and must not be touched"
The Judge stood impressive in the
shadow, azing pensively out on the

length the honest visitor found voice.
Turning slowly to his wife, he said:
"Wite. we have always thought well OF
George Washington, but that is all over.
We are temperance people just look at
that nose " and he pointed toward the
most marked feature of Poland's face,
gathered up his family, and slowly
marched away.
The Nermonters restrained themselves
for moment, then gave way, and only
realized what they were doing by the
Judges grutf words:
"Wlat are you fools laughing at ?"
The story was told, and the next day
Fernando Wood alluded to it in Poland's
presence, but the latter's expression

however, that since then, the Judge yer,

The report of the executive council of the
National Board of Trade speaks of the con-
dtion of the American marine as constituting
the most pressing question of the hour. In
discussing the remedies it says:
The first and most essential thing that is
wanting for the revival of American tonnage
interests is agreement among the business men
of the country in the various commercial bodies
and in this national representative association
in their conclusions and recommendations as to
what ought to be done. When the opinions OF
intelligent business men, East and West, North
and South, are fairly united as to measures OF
relief Congress, probably, will be only toe
ready and glad to incorporate such measures
into law.
1t then details the efforts that have beer
made during the past year to secure the opn
ions of representative commercial bode.
throughout the country as to the best plan OF
relief to be adopted by Congress, the results OF
which are embodied in special report.

on American Shipping Interests was also pre-

FISH AND FISHING. The Eastport Senti-
mel reports the frozen herring business quite
lively last week. The catch was larger than
for any previous week. Arrivals from New
foundland have caused lower prices. Some
twelve sail of vessels have already loaded at
Grand Manan and along shore this season, and
sailed for market with perhaps 100000, or
more behring's. Some three or four more
vessels have begun loadng.....The catch of
shad in the Connecticut was smaller than
usual in 1Ss3-177, 1908, as against 272,9O3, in
1882 and 351 ,67S in 1881. The fish commission
planted, as estimated, 3.215,55O shad, so that in

be expected.
