FREE DAY NURSERY.

They have also assigned two wards in their Home
for Infants, No. 80 Leverett street, as Day Nurse
ry taking children from months to 212 years. All
other day nurseries take children over 1o months,
preventing many poor and worthy women from be-
ing able TO obtain employment, as they can ind no
one to for their infants if allie to pay for
it, which those having children Is months old can
do as there is in every homo some woman that is
willing to care for child Is months old for ten
The children viii be received for single day or
can be left daily from 6 A. NJ. to 2. NJ. They will
have the same care, food and treatment as the in
fants receive thar remain year in their. home, all
free of expense The object OF the company is to
show that infants can thrive on their Liquid Food
well out of their hospital as in it, which they can
if the mothers have the of their babies nights
The value of BIurdock's Liquid Food for well or
feeble infants cannot illustrate better than by
few cases where We know lives have been saved by
its use.
A babe when born weighed ia lbs. and SO feeble
that its life was despaird Of it would not retain
any food given until one drop Of Liquid Food was
given it il water at feeding and improved rap-
idly that milk substituted for water in less than
ten days. and when six months old weighed z
POUNDS and in as good health any child could be.
Another child weighed three pounds at birth; with
one drop in its milk in five weeks weighed seven
pounds.

During visit to Boston month ago we devoted
an hour to call on Mr.. A. L. Murdock, that we
might satisfy ourselves more fully on some of the
points we desired to know about the Liquid Food
referred to in our pages on several occasions. We
visited the establishment and saw much of the pro
cess, its preparation, and putting it in shape tol
distribution on its errand of mercy. Cleanliness
scrupulously lbserved in every step of the pro
cess the method is in strict accordance with science
and sound principles; and the product is in every
respect what is claimed for it as thoroughly rep
resentative nutritious food, of properties more heal
ing and nourishing than others.
A look through the hospital satisfied US that its
merit in restoring health to the puny foundlings un
der the care of that institution is not overstated
for wesaw some that were apparently in splendid
condition. who when admitted were puny sick, de
filed with corruptiYe sores. and thought beyond
help. Their only treatment was 'MurdOck's Liquid
Food and they bade fair to obtain robust health
as the most favored.
Other cases we have seen n adults quite as mar
velous. This article should never be forgotten
when such remedy is available or can be nsed witt

1t has been generally conceded by the

Cushing was without a rival fer the Rock
land collectorship, and it really began to
look as if there was one spot in the State
where harmony was to prevail. But this

from G. K. Miller, defeated candidate for
Judge of Probate of Kuox coun4y, which in
dicates that in the Rockland district even
there is 1iscord among the brethren. Mr..
Miller says Mr.. Gushing is Mossback and
cut The Greenbackers on the Democratic
ticket at the last election, and substituted
Republicans in their stead, aud wants to

The Bangor Commercial alleges that Dis
trict Attorney Lunt and Marshal Bisbee put
Miss Donnelly of Bangor, who was recently
tried and acquitted of the charge Of opening
a registered letter, to unnecessary and bur-
densome expense by bringing her to Port
land when there are three United States
commissioners in Bangor. If the CONNER
cial had taken the trouble to examine the
facts it would have seen that they had no
choice in the matter, but were compelled to
brisg her to Portland. Miss Donuelly was
arrested on an indictment found by the
United States district court in session in this
city, not on complaint. No United States
commissioner, either in Bangor or anywhere
else, had any jurisdiction over the case.
She could no more have been taken before a
commissioner than man arrested on an
indictment found in the Supreme court of
this State could be taken before trial lns-
tice. She must be brought before Judge
Webb, who was holding court in Portland.

THE VALUE OF
MURDOCK'S LIQUID FOOD.

Few realize the amount of suffering that exists in
q city as large Boston. The population increases
faster than the accommodations Of all of Onr many
hospitals. This is especially true OF the surgical
wards for female internal operations. The decien-
cy is great that there is not bed empty in any
hospital and it has been for several months, with
applicants sufficient to ill them for months to come.
Two Of our hospitals have each refused one hundred
applicants which would fl all their beds for over
six months provided they were all empty today.
The AEurdock Liquid Food Company have added a
third house to their Free Hospital for Women ana
Infants, Office 10 Causeway street, and have as
signed two wards with more if needed, Tor internal
operations. They offer their beds to any physician
who may want a bed for private patient and they
can attend aad operate on them and charge their
patient for the operation. The company will take
any patients build them up if too exhausted for an
operation, and then keep them after the operation
until restored sufficiently to return home, free of
expense. Their object in doing this is to offer the
physicians of the United States the facilities of
private house, which the physicians cannot now
command, as other hospital will grant such priv
ileges, and their hospital has more home comforts
than hospitals in general the wards contain from
one to eight beds; and also to soe the usue Of
0od q0hich their liquid food is, condensed and free
from insolbe matter gghich enables them to life
a1keB all other foods and treatments fail.

The Argus says the PRESS has misappre-
hended its objection to the police bill. 1t
opposes it not on account OF the effect it
may have on Ex-Marshal Andrews's for
tunes, but because 1t thinks it Is calculated
to make political machine of the police de-
partment. The Argus cannot have studied
the bill carefully or it would see that there
is very little danger of it's doing that.
To construct political machine out of the
police force the mayor must have, not only
the power of removal, but the power of ap-
pointment as well. But by the terms of this
bill the latter power is denied him. Though
he can make vacancies with the consent Of a
majority of the aldermen he can only fill
them with men selected by commission of
which he Is not even a member. An at
tempt to construct a political machine un-
der SO unfavorable circumstances would not
be promising enough to induce anyone to
engage in.

Women of Worth.

society. They choose the pretty, good
for-nothing girls, for that is the kind
they like; they run after and marry
the liveliest girl at a picnic or ball,
though she may be o "holy terror" at
home; they rush after the belle and
the heiress, though she may be selfish,
spoiled, and silly; they pass by the
jewel, and take the imitation, for that
is all they know, and then, like Adam,
they blame the fruits of their own folly
on the women. Twas ever thus But,
brethren-we wish to speak to you
gently-there are women right here at
home who have their own money to
spend as they please, who have their
own pleasant homes and congenial oc-
equations, who can, if the fancy seizes
them, pack their trunks and take a
jaunt to New Orleans, slip off to Wash
ington for q few weeks, take in the
cream of New York, or the balmy airs
of Florida, in short, have a royal time,
in any way they choose, who call no
man master, and who "wouldn't marry
the best man that ever stepped in shoe
leather" This will be a shock to you,
beloved brethren, but it is none the less
true. Women find pleasure and COM
fort and happiness outside of matri-
mony. It is not fattering to men, but
there is growing Discrimination to
marriage among women. They are
growing more critical as to the meas
ure of man. He will have to come
up to nobler, higher standard, or, in
the poetical parlance of the day, he
will get left"

"boo-hooing" like baby, as lis trem-

vegetables.
"Say, therel what's the matter ?"
asked the stranger. "What're We
cryin' about?"
The old man wiped off his eye on his
shirt sleeve and answered.:

and found still older man, of whom
he asked the cause for the swhooped"

Are You Going TO New Orleans or

If SO, you can go via the MoNoN ROUTE,
via Louisville or Cincinnati, and see the
Mammoth Cave, Nashville, Blount Springs,
Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, and the
Gulf coast for the same money that Will
take you through the dreary, uninhabited
Mississippi swamps.
No one should think of going South with
out visiting the Mammoth Cave, the great
natural wonder of this continent. So much
has been written of this world-famous Won
der that il is impossible to say anything
new in regard to tit cannot be described;
its caverns must be explored, its darkness
felt, its beauties seen, to be appreciated or
realized. From Mobile 10 New Orleans
(141 miles) the ride along the Gulf coast is
alone worth the entire cost of the whole
trip. In full sight of the Gulf all the way,
past Ocean Springs, Mississippi City, Pass
Christian, Bay st. Louis, and Beauvoir, the
home Of JEFF Davis.
When you decide 10 go South make up
your mind to travel over the line that
passes through the best country and gives
you the best places TO stop over. This is

Funeral Customs in Turkey.

An observer of customs at CONSTANT
nople writes that upon the occurrence
of death there is general rush for the
corpse. It's wives throw themselves
upon the body, and with loud shrieks
call on him to come back to them again.
The men stand around and weep, and
the nearest relatives tear their clothes.
There is none of that shrinking fear of
death with the Turks that is so marked
among the more civilized Italians The
grief is for the most part formal. prob
ably only the favorite wife and few of
the children really meaning what they
do. The first excitement gives way to
more quiet grief and the women com
mence the long rafting cry for the
dead, which they probably got from the
Greeks, and which is remarkably like
the "Uslusla-lu" of the Irish under
similar circumstances. Fifteen min
utes is the regulation time that must
elapse before the most distant relatives
begin to get calm, and the others drop
off at distinct and ell-understood inter
walls thereafter, the wife who has borne
the most children to the dead man
being expected to keep it up the lon.
