Mechanics Association Drawing
School.

The free drawing class of the Maine Char
table Mechanic Association, which has been
working for the last four months, gave an
exhibition of their drawings last evening in
the library room. The class has been taught
by Mr.. Dorticos, first-class architect, and
under his guidance the pupils have made ex-
cellent progress. The class numbered about
twenty-five, and about that number OF draw
ings were shown. The drawings were all
excellent, and in many cases gave evidence
of no small degree of talent in the pupll.
The mechanical drawings, many OF Whlch
were the work of the whole term, were re-
markable for their neatness and excellence
of execution. There has been no free hand
class this winter, it having been discontin-
ued on accoHnt of the fact that hitherto
there has been quite a large attendance OF
an unruly element which made good work
impossible. But it is proposed to have one
next year If possible, there being no doubt
that it would prove great benefit to many
pupils. Quite a number of people visited
the exhibition last evening, and all were
well pleased with the work shown.

After the recent fire in the store of Charles
Day, number of the drawers containing
goods, became so swollen from being wet
that they were not opened for some time.
When the drawers were finally opened their
contents were found to be all right with one
exception. That drawer contained nothing,
but was known to have been full at the
night of the fire. Several days ago, boy
named MCGOWAN who sells candy in the
stores on Middle street and the vicinity went
into Lamson's jewelry store and offered for
sale some of the articles which Mr.. Lamson
knew to have been missing from Days store.
Mr.. Day was notified of the occurrence and
upon questioning the boy, found that his
stories were somewhat contradictory and
made complaint. Yesterday forenoon Nc
Gowan was arrested by Officer Warren and
portion of the stolen goods recovered from
house on Washington street where some
of the boys family live. On the night of the
fire, this boy was in the basement of the
store and was driven out by Mr.. Day $
brother MCGOWAN denies that he stole the
goods and claims that they were given to
him. He succeeded in selling two salt

UNSOUGHT PRAISE.

How It First Exalted and Then Humbled q
Distinguished Orator.
The recent railroad blockade recalls q
story that distinguished Maine gentle
man tells against himself. Some years
ago he was making a journey down
East, when his train became snow
bound. 1t was then evening, and there
was no hope of progress until daylight.
But near at hand was little village
which boosted of public hall. 1t was
suggested that the passengers adjourn
to the hall and listen to an address by
their distinguished fellow-traveler.
He finally consented to do his part;
the hall was warmed and lighted, and
the lecture took place.
The next day the gentleman was ap-
preached by a sturdy young yeoman,
who said:
you're the man who made the speech
last night, amt you?''
The identity having been established
he went on:
81 want to thank you for it. / don't
know when I've enjoyed myself more
than did while you were talking"
The orator experienced the genial
glow which unconventional and un-
sought praise is wont to inspire, and he
cordially took the honest fellows hand.
YES" the young man continued, sit
was a good thing. You see, my girl is
on the train, and while you were lectur.

ourselves. "-BOStOn Record.

EATING TOO MUCH.
Two Faillngs of Which Too Many Farmers
Are Guilty.

Two Faillngs Of Which Too Many Farmers
Are Guilty.
The average farmer and farm laborer
are chargeable with two failings, which
injure health and shorten life, both
heir-looms of the highly barbarous
feudal ages. They eat too much and
battle too little. Some of the food is
Objectionable as to the quality, but the
quality is less harmful than the quantity.
The farmers outdoor life gives him
vigorous appetite, and not enough re-
straint is exercised against an excess.
His table drinks, too, (Which may be
classed as part of his foOd) are also OBJ
jectionable, being very generally strong
tea and coffee. The drink failing is
particularly prevalent among the fe-
males. When person regards strong
tea or coffee as an absolute necessity
for a meal, it is, in itself, bad sign.
An appetite for an unhealthy stimulus
is fastened on the stomach and the path
to disease is short and easy. Natures
simplicity is gone, and in its place are
nervousness, changing moods, and .
tendency to enjoy other stimulants, such
as the most highly-seasoned foods and
condiments, and, not infrequently, in
toxicating drinks. Children yet in arms
are brought up to tea and coffee and
the whole range of condiments, along
with pie and cake to any extent, and
their tender stomachs are disorganized
