Roller-S Skating.

The war upon the skating rinkS continues.
The clergy preach against them they are op-
posed by the theatrical managers and the
saloon keepers, and, as writer in Outing says ::
photographers poke fun at the ruling mania,
cynics sneer at it, physicians profit by it while
protesting against t,-for American physicians
are not so fond of standing in with the under
taker as satarists represent them: but it runs
its course, regardless alike of jeers, sneers and
protests 'Broken legs, arms, and collar
bones; coughs, colds, and aloping consump-
tions" scored down against the Kinks; but
the attendance does not lessen, nor the rinks
decrease in number. and although the general
opinion is that this sport will have its run it is
evident the end is not yet.
| The New York Herald estimates that over
sixty thousand persons in that city use roller
skates; and the advocates of roller skating say
there is not rink in New York where intox-
cants can be had for love or money. This GER
tainly is to be set down to the credit of the
rink The Herald says further: "Four or five
notorious dives on the Bowery have been clean
ed out and fitted up as roller skating rinks for
the soda water drinking, cigarette destroying
youth of the city. Even the most pesiferous
den in Chatham square, with its red lights,
noisy revelry and brazen indecency, has van
ished, and in its place is clean hall in which
orderly young men write poetry with their
| legs around the shining floor and occasionally
guzzle lemonade at the counter"
The same paper publishes some statistics OBJ
tanned from dealer which certainly sur
prsiug. There are more than five hundred
manufacturers of roller skates in the United
States, who employ some 200 900 men and sell
at least thirty or forty thousand pairs of skates
a week. There are about 10000 rinks in the
| United States and an average of six persons al-
tached to each would give $50, 900 people con-
Quoting the pastime itself. Add to this the
manufacturers and we have 100000 men max
| ing their living out of roller skating. The num-
| Der of skaters is too big problem to be figured
out, but it must run up to millions. And still
! the rollers roll.
When we have nothing else to do, and space
to spare. we may exhibit the ridiculous little
ass who thinks he edits the Calais Times-when
he is not engag d in seeing sea serpents in the
woods of Washington county. He evidently
mistakes brayin' for brain, and is in very
coiicky condition at present.

ACCIDENT TO GEORGE o. George o., Belfast's
favorite trotting horse, recently met with an acct
dent that in many respects was remarkable When
Mr.. Hill, the manager Of the Margaret Mathcr
theatre company, was in Belfast, he took ride be
hind George .. and was much impressed with the
trotter. He said he would send Mr. johnson, his
horse man, to Belfast and if everything was salts
factory he would buy the animal. Mr. Bacy's
price was $1,000. AT $50 Thursday morning the
18th inst. Mr.. Bailey took Mr.. johnson into his
sleigh with the intention of giving him spin down
Northport avenue. When on Church street the
horse SHE'D little and the sleigh running upon the
high bank beside the street, both men were thrown
out. The horse attempted TO turn up Grove street,
but broke through the iron fence at the residence
of Capt. Joseph S. Thombs. The animal, now thor
oughy frightened, went ont over the fence again
and down NorthpOrt avenue where he stopped
and brought home. The horse seemed to be unn.
jured save small cut upon the inside of the right
hind leg. Seven days after the accident Mr.. Bailey
teegraphed to George H. Bailey, veterinary surgeon
at Portland, who came to Belfast and on cXamin-
ing the wound discovered piece of the iron fence
firmly embedded in the bone, about five inches be
low the stile joint Dr. Bailey was unable to re
move the iron and sent for DR.. Wood, of Lowell,
Mass, and on Monday evening last both surgeons
arrived with instruments and worked unsuccess-
fully until midnight Tuesday forenoon the horse
etheriZed and cast, and with the assistance of
Drs. johnson and Lombard and Charles Baker, the
iron removed The piece was the point of an
iron picket two and quarter inches long about
half an inch thick at the base, and was imbedded
two inches in the bone. Or. johnson cnt away a
portion of the bone before the iron could be remov-
ed. In the several operations before the last the
horse bore the torture with remarkable herosm,
seeming to fully realize the situation. DIR. Lom-
bard fastened to the iron and pulled with all his
| strength, the horse turning his head as to wit
ness the operation, but never flinched. The sur
geons say they never before such case of
such fortitude In an animal. The horse is doing
well and II no new complications set in will come
| out of the difficulty all right.

MUSTARD AND PNEUMONIA

Writing to the New York World
gentleman says: Pneumonia can be
cured If the person will apply
promptly over the lungs pouluce
or draught made of mustard and
faxseed meal, keeping quiet and
warm in bed. Prompt action is of
vital Importance, and there is no
occasion for an cold fashioned or
''new-fashioned" practitioner when
so simple a remedy may be applied
by sny one, and if taken in season
will, | think, always be effective. In
my personal experience my deter
mlnation not TO give up business,
even for day, came near costing
me my life. The case was neglect
ed till an eminent physician said that
my right lung would be of Just as
much use to me out on the table as
in the condition it then was, fact
of which | was already well aware,
but the mustard and faxseed poul-
tice mastered the disease and restor-
ed my lung to its normal condition,
as good as new. In the second at
tack, q year later, the case was TAX
en- I'D hand promptly, the poultice
applied, quiet and warmth maintain
ed, and speedy recovery ensued
without physician being called.
Mustard is an old-fashioned cure,
and its healing virtues can hardly be
over estimated. 1t has saved our
household many doctors bill.

THE OCCUPATION OF REST
ING.

AT one of the teachers institutes
held In this state paper was read
urging the need of course of study
different from school work for the
teacher as necessity fog mental life
and strength. In other words, if a
teacher gives her whole time,
thoughts and energies to her school
she cannot do her best work there.
This sounds lather paradoxical, but
numerous teachers have testified to
the truth of it. One lady, very sue
oessful as an instructor, said her
usefulness in the school-room was
much increased when she made a
practice of reading in the evening,
and that the books must be suffi-
ciently interesting to make her for
get that she had aay school tasks
until the next morning. The reason
is evident and applies to many other
things besides teaching. To do the
best work the worker must be fresh
and vigorous and no one can over
work, mentally or physically, with
out burning the candle at both ends.
Inaction is not the best physical rest
and the mind cannot be inactive. If
not given new object of interest it
will continue to toll away at the
same old task. A change is a ne
cessity and herein lies the great val-
us of amsuements, Those who ae-
complish the most do it by having
more than one set of tasks and by
making each rest and refresh the la
horer for the other.-Le,gistoa Joa,g-
adl.
