There are only two cant-dog factories in
New England. One is In Orono and the
other in Bangor. at the works of the Bangor
Edge Tool Company. There is also one
more in the United States which is in St.

they are being put are without number.
They are getting to be regarded as indispen-

A Philosophers Diet.

I once knew man who had reached
as close to the perfection of human
philosophy as possible. One-half Of
the discomfort and large proportion
of the misery of the world, he said,
came from QUIZ inability to crafty tastes
that are acuired- are not, By any
means, necessary to existence. This fell
low held a theory that there is,noa in any
part of the world absolute necessity for
starvation That everywhere nature
has provided something that WEI sustain
life. He argued that men: very often
suffered from the absence. Of what they
had been accustomed to, eat, and thew
did not stop to think that il was posi-
BILE to,survlve even on water for period
of time. He had Travelled, and he made
one rule in all his travels, to eat what.
ever any other form, of human life could
eat, and failing human life, what any
other form of animal life could subsist
upon. He could with equanimity, il
there was nothing else for It, live like q

LOVE AND RELIGION.
9sHttsburgh Girl Who Converted He,
Lover but Could. Hot Marry.

Lover DU6 Could. NOT Marry.
William Flynn, an ex member of the
legislature, asked in marriage Miss
jennie Hook. of Pittsburg, Pa, pretty
blonde of 49,: Hewas Protestant and
she Catholic, and the parents of Miss
Hook objected to a union, but the bar
rier that this. difference built between
them was not strong enough to keep
them apart, for Flynn kept coming and
coming at stated evenings of the week,
ind JENNIE was always at home. The
parents persisted in their objec-
tons, and told: him to cease his
visits. Miss Jennie said she would not
marry any other man but Flynn, where
upon the parents consented to the visits
with the distinct understanding, how
ever, that they were to remain single.
But finally the wooer was won from his
strong conviction, and at the end of a
five years course of lectures to that end
he consented to be baptisedin the
Catholic faith. OF course, this capitu-
lation, after so long siege, was a sig
aal of great JOY to the young lady, and
she went at once to the Episcopal resi-
dence, gave. word that she had secured
proselyte, and time was fixed when she
might bring the young man and the
ceremony frepaptism be solemnized.
Under the forms of the Catholic
religion. in cases Of this kind, where the
convert has no parents processing the
same belief, it is necessary that some one
shall act in that capacity, become their
fol

keep a guardianship over them through
life. And this pledge is solemn and
perfectly binding. At the time set for
The baptism the two lovers were at
hand, had gone together without other
attendants, and the solemn ceremony
was gone through with. When the
priest asked her if she was to act as
godmother the happy young woman
readily assented, eager that no techni-
cality should delay the consummation
Of her wish. And when the ceremony
was through the young girl, with flush
ed cheeks and hesitating words, told

and to ask his blessing
Soon after; when they wanted to get
married, the PRIEST refused to perform
the ceremony on the ground that the
young woman. having become god
mother could; not become the wife of
her convert. The good father comfort
ed them as best he could, and offered,
as the only consolation at hand, that
perhaps; petition to Rome might alb
solve her from her VOWS. They went
away, and this advice was acted upon
as quickly as, possible. They waited
anxiously for two years, but hope so
long deferred grew sick, and at last the
bridegroom, feeling the injustice of be-,
ing kept waiting SO long, insisted on
being released. Since then he has

TIE Old STORY.

Shadowed by the lilac tree,
Near the garden fence,
Stands my neighbor, Rosie Lee,
Charm ofinnocence
Sweater than the fragrant flower,
With the dew-drop laden,
. .Fairer than the morning hour.
Is the wiilsome maiden!
From the naples top-most limb,
With the flush Of day,
Come the redbreast's matin hymn,
Sweetest roundelay!
Yet the song the maiden sings,
Tuneful, soft and lowly.
10 one heart rapture brings,
Fen more pure and holy.
Happier thought than lips can speak
Beams in her blue eye;
JOY lights up her glowing check
Her bethrothed is nigh!
Needless of the lilac's bloom,
Or the mornings glory,
All that in her heart finds room
Is Loves sweet, old story!

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.

Mr.. Dingley of Maine, presented in the
House today a memorial, signed by a number
of citizens of Maine, protesting against any
treaty arrangement of legislation which
would admit Canadian fish into American
ports, free of duty except in case of herrines
for sardine packing, and earnestly PRAYING
that Congress will recognize the claims of
our American fishermen, to the same meas
ure of protection that accorded every indus
try of the nation. This is urged by the petit
TONERS not simply because of the Importance
of industry, which cannot maintain itself in
in an open, free competition with cheaper la
Dor and cheaper vessels and supplies of Ca
nadians engaged in industry, but also because
it is nursery of seamen from which the
nation has in the past drawn the men who
have defended our flag on the ocean in time
of war, and which it is essential to maintain
as a resource and defence in case of conflict
with a naval power as it is to erect forts and
maintain navy.

tors, having in charge the arrangement of

MONEY AND TRADE.
Effects OF Vanderbilt's Death upon the
Markets.
NEw YORK, Dec. 9.

NEW YORK, Dec. g.
Wall street brokers aud operators arrived at
their offices at an unusually early hour this
morning. There was anxiety everywhere to
know what the stock market would do at the
opening, but confident tone was observable
in nearly every instance, where opinions
were expressed, and London quotations
which were there half an hour before the
opening of the New York exchange, were re-
assuring. In the board dense crowd of
brokers stood in the Lake Shore corner await
ing the fall of the chairman's gavel. When
it came it was followed by wild excitement
for few minutes, and the struggle between
those who had orders to close out their ac-
counts at the opening and others who were
there to support the market or buy upon the
assumption that the opening figures would be
the lowest In other parts of the room
the crowd was less pressing, and the
excitement not greater than is often
witnessed at the opening of the board
The market opened weak, and from to 3
lower, the latter for Lake Shore. New York
Central was 2s lower. The market became
steadier at l0.30 and with a noticeable i'm
provement in tone. Lake Shore and New
York Central improved per cent each. At
noon the excitement on the stock exchange
had entirely subsided. There was no crowd
whatever in the Lake Shore corner, and only
the usual amount of activity in the general
list on an ordinary business day. The sales
of Lake Shore for the first had amounted to
$4,000 shares, but the dealings later were on
ordinary amounts. During the hour before
noon lower prices were steady, the fluctua-
tions generally being within the range of /
At ll.30 o'clock the market was moderately
active and steady. AT noon sterling exchange
was quiet and unchanged. Government bonds
were dull and steady. Railroad bonds were
moderately active and steady to strong except
Erie second consols, which were weak, SELL
ing at 87a. Stocks for the half hour before
noon were dull with prices firm for time,
but later yielded small fraction. At noon
the market was quiet and steady at quotations
with two or three important exceptions. The
extreme fluctuations within the noon hour
were within a range of less than per cent
