American Paper the Best.

New York Press.
Not long since Mr.. Tiffany said that
when he began business nearly all the
stationery he sold was imported. To-
day, thanks to the tariff, the finest
grades of paper are made at home and
imported stationery is the exception.
American stationery is good enough
for the press and ought to be good
enough for the most exalted Ameri-
can. 1t is only Anglomaniacs and SUI
money than brains, who would i'm
port their note paper. Meantime it
might be well to remember that
"English note" and "Irish linen" and
"Glasgow linen" are merely brands OF
paper, all of which are manufactured
in Holyoke and other famous paper
towns by good, honest, protected
American labor.

1t was on these goods that he took
first premium at the late fair-on
feathers, artificial flowers, bonnets
and hats, and took them all without
a dissenting voice. In regard to mil
linery four of the six judges who

DON'T SPOIL THAT HAT,

If you see your wife, sister, daugh.
ter, mother, son, husband, brother or
friend Of either sex, going out in this
uncertain season of the year, without
a parasol or silk umbrella to keep the
rain from spelling the fine hat or bon
net they have just purchased at Wolf
sons, do not let them do it. Go to
Wolfson's yourself and buy one of his
Lyons silk umbrellas, the best in the
market, warranted not to split and
you will save that hat or bonnet from
spelling. These silk umbrellas make
the incest kind of a Christmas present
and these parasols, same material,
are just as nice. Either one will do,
but buy one or the other, and save
the hat.

a FamiIy's Strange Delusion.
lAugusta fAGaInel Journal.

The family of Mr.. Thomas Stevens,
Of West Gardiner, are just now afford
ing considerable interest to the COM
munity and a peculiar case to physi-
clans. Mr.. Stevens family consists Of
himself wife aud two daughters, one of
fourteen and the other OF twelve years.
In the early part of the winter the faith
er and mother became the victims of
a strange delusion. The idea was en-
tertained by them that lot OF monkeys
infested the neighborhoOd. If anything
was missed from the premises the loss
was ascribed to these monkeys. Soon
the girls were enabled to see the same
images that the parents did. AS time
passed this delusion grew more fixed
and intense. Monkeys were all about
them. Each one took turns in watch
ing for them at night, armed with
double-barreled guns, kettles of hot wat
er, pitchfOrks etc. Their fancies led
them to believe that there was a small
member of the monkey tribe that came
down the chimney nights and let in his
fellows. They threatened to burn their
neighbours buildings for harboring
these animals, and they appealed to the
Selectmen and also to Marshal Norton,
of Gardiner, to protect them from these
pests. They claimed that the robbers
at South Gardiner, the death of Chas.
Alberts, who was frozen to death at
West Gardiner, the eclipse of the moon,
all were due to the work ofthese monk
eys. The neighbors began to fear that
this delusion would excite some of the
family to fire their buildings and COM
planned to the Selectmen who had the
family examined by two physicians.
The physicians pronounced the father
and mother insane, though on other
subjects they appeared rational. The
children were brought before Judge
Larrabee, who ordered them sent to the
Industrial Home at Hallowell. Yester-
day afternoon the father and mother
were carried to the insane hospital

perienced in separating the parents and

sorts of comparisons could be drawn,
was q sensation which drew crowd of
little folks and servants. The little

a moral. It Is this: TO say a remedy

much. The heat from the friction of

is it all to say it will cure; for the cure
may be temporary and the pain may
return; nor will 1t do to boast of a per-
manent cure, unless there is no relapse,
no return Of pain for good length of

Paper and Envelopes.

Paper grew very scarce toward the
close of the war, writes Jennie S. JUDD

pearance on wallpaper, while the
familiar songs of the period, such as
"Lorena," Richmond on the James"
Call Quiet Along the Potomac To-
night" "Rock Me to Sleep" and
"When This Cruel War Is Over, :"
were printed on sheets very much re-
duced from the usual size and of a
very coarse brown paper
Envelopes were always turned, and

perhaps, each supplied with a different

The greater number Of the remedial
agents of the time were prepared by
the ladies, for regular drugs had been
made contraband, and were exceeding

other natural remedies as the country
afforded, were kept on hand in most
families. Healing herbs were largely

THE DAIRY.
YlU;rv Notes.


In this country nearly $3 worth of
milk, cream, butter, and cheese together
are sold and consumed to every dollars
worth of beef. The market for dairy pro-
ducts is practically inexhaustible.
The water which dairy COWS drink, if
impure. will spread its impurity to their
milk, and the quantity and quality of the
food also makes its influence felt upon the
quantity and quality of the milk.
The cheapest and the best way to get a
good COW is 10 procure calf from first
class dam and raise it. 1t is like buying
tickets in a lottery - the majority are
blanks, unless one may know what they
are.
PUMPKINS for COWS, it is said, have the
lest effect when fed before very cold
weather, rs there is less absorption of ami
NAL heat to warm the mass, forty or fifty
pounds, that COW will take into her
stomach.
A CROSS COW in herd keeps the others
always in perpetual fear, and in that
manner lessons the milk from the others in
quantity more than may be sufficient to
balance that given by the cross one. A
cross or domineering COW should be got Yid
of.
PROFESSOR ROBERTSON, of Canada,
claims that cream raised by the deep cold
process produces butter that is less
highly favored when first made, and is, in
fact, often insipid at that time, but it's
flavor increases with age, and is at its best
when several weeks old.
The improvement of the COW by expert
breeding, by which her capacity for profit
able production has been SO largely ill.,
creased, that when formerly al average of
2,0U0 pounds of milk and 1875 pounds of
butter would do, we are now content with
5000 pounds of milk and 800 pounds, Of
butter per vear,

2. Prepare seed bed out of doors in

when grown in a hot-bed. :.
3. Sprinkle the bed often to keep 1t
moist, and when the young plants are
about three inches high transplant them
into rows, putting them about one 1oot
apart.
4. When the plants have become stocky,
have a trench about one foot deep, put
into it equal parts of wood ashes and good
rich dressing, and rich, black soil, and
work altogether with a hoe.
S. Set plants about four or five inches
apart and be sure to straighten out the
roots and press the soil firmly around
them.
6. Sprinkle the roots enough to keep
them fresh till they are firm in their places,
and then give them all the water you have
a mind to, the more the better.

cause the branches to lie over, hill up the

The main point, in raising chickens to
have them weigh two pounds (dressed) in
eight weeks, is 10 feed them such food as
will make hard, solid flesh, not liable to
shrinkage. While soft food is more easily
digested than grain, chicken fed upon it
exclusively will shrink six ounces in the
dressing.
If generous feed of grains be given each
day, in connection with the soft food, the
shrinkage will be much less, which fact We
have demonstrated by brood, Just
shipped, weighing two pounds (dresseD,
being eight weeks old.
Great benefit is derived from the use of
copperas in Their soft food during the last
ten days. A piece of the crystal the size
Of large pea, dissolved in boiling water
can be added to the water with which the
soft food is mixed. Fine coal ashes put into
their scratching pen is also beneficial.
All these measures are necessary, as the
chickens would naturally tend toward in
digestion and bowel trouble.

Put in coop with a Stat floor, and in q
dark place, and kept without food for
thirty-six hours. We have dressed them
after keeping them twenty hours, but find
they dress much easier and present bet
ter appearance if kept thirty-si1 hours
without food.
After killing and picking, they should be
plunged into cold water, slightly sailed,
and remain until all animal heat is ex-
tracted, usually five to six hours. Upon
taking out of the water the clot of blood
which will be found in the mouth must be
removed, and the chickens hung up to drip
until partially dry. Then pack in layers,
and snug enough to prevent their shaking
