The Rockland Free Press is troubled be-

'boom" is waxing In Washington County
The truth is that 1t is the Machias Republi-
can that gives this interesting news The
Republican has supported Mr.. Burleigh, but
being an enterprising paper prints the i'm
portant news of the growing enthusiasm for
Mr.. Cleaves in Washington County. We
are sorry that its enterprise was inadver-
tenty credited to the Union. We would ad-
wise the Free Press, however, not to be
troubled whenever Democratic paper mo-
tices that Mr.. Cieaves Is ahead in the guber-
material race, as this is fact that win un-
doubtedly appear in the columns of all the
Maine papers before long.

How the Sparrows Came.

The English sparrows' advent here
was very like that of the rabbit which
Australia is so anxious to be rid of. A
miller caterpillar, indigenous to this
climate, was found to be destroying
the trees in the parks, besides being a
nuisance in consequence of its propen-
sity to hang from the trees by web
like thread. Persons passing under the
trees were liable to have the crawling
creatures drop down their necks or
upon their clothes, and some remedy
were sought to rid New York of these
pests. A foreigner suggested the inn
portation of few sparrows. Seventy
five pairs were brought over from the
Old World, but the severe winter which
followed killed the birds. A second
attempt was made, and every one was
asked to care for the little creatures
and build sparrow houses. This was
done and the sparrows were saved the
next winter. The young broods raised
in the country were soon able to take
care of themselves. 1t did not take
long for the acclimated foreigners and
their descendants to migrate, and now
they are found all over the United
States. N L. Mail and Express.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
4 Claim That the Country Has Never Ha

4 Claim That the Country Has Never Had
SO Much OF 1t as Now.
The women of the land are diff
Terminating into two classes in respect
to housekeeping. The young ones do
not all take to domestic duties, for
they find them irksomc. A girl who
has been fed and reared on excitement
and who has passed through some
what rapid adolescence, is not in
clined to sympathize with u routine of
duty within the walls of home. Do
nestle cares weary her, and in her
hands housekeeping is composed of
makeshifts that neither dignity herself
lor ennoble the work.
But taking all women into account,
the quality of housekeeping is fast i'm
proving, for there is large and
growing class of women who have the
intelligence, the health, the sense and
pleasure of duty and the home attach
ments that make prime housekeepers
of them. One has to go back to the
housekeeping of no more than twenty
five years ago among the masses of
the people TO see how great is the con-
trast OF the present. If you do not
enter homes enough to find this out.
you will see evidences of it in the
cooking at least shown at country
fairs, at church festivals and at various
gatherings where the housewives make
their contributions of food; YOU will
see it in the newspapers and various
periodical publications by the endless
inquiries about this and that about
cooking and furnishing, about how to
10 one thing and another.
Good housekeeping is not decaying
The country never had so much of it
as now. and this makes the failures.
when we look at them alone, seem all
the more deplorable. There is every
opportunity now for women to learn
how to keep house well and there is
every hope to the willing and am
hitious-GOOd Housekeeping

Sad Child OF SiIencel

On every side with sweetest sounds;

Whispers OF love and songs OF earth.
Thy words OF prayer and hymns OF praise
Only in silence canst thou raise.
Meek Child OF Silencei
Bend meekly TO thy Fathers will,
And since He babe the world be still,
And hushed for thee each pleasant sound,
That swells the earth and sky around,
Humbly believe His will is best
And still content in silence rest.

Haphazard Medication,

First with one cathartic, then with another,
never giving any fair trial, is no way to
cure constipation. In its chronic form it is
obstinate, but it is at first relieved and then
positively eradicated by Hostetter's Stomach

aration also subjugates and prevents inter
mittent and bilious remittent fever, rheu-

SoLoMoNvILLE, June 2.

Wm. Sparks, better known here abouts as "Timbeline," had live ly time with a bear on or near his ranch about ten days ago. Mir. Sparks had set a trap for a noun tain lion, and on visiting it found that a bear had been caught and had walked of with the whole out fit. He started in pursuit with a Winchester and trailed him for some time before coming upon his bearship. When he did find him bruin was mad, and in step- ping back to avoid an infuriated rush Timberline fell, face under, down hill. The bear lost no tina in taking advantage of the situa- tion and seizing Timberline at the under side of his thigh gave him 8 lively shaking up. The victim of this rough usage, how ever, held fast to his rifle and managed to throw in a cartridge. He twisted around and just as the bear let go to take a fresh hold Mir. Sparks fired, the ball entering the brute's mouth. This ended the battle. But Sparks was badly hurt, one of the tendons of his leg being entirely severed and his leg bruised and bitten severely. He bound up his wounds as best he could and walked half mile to a spring, where he washed and agaln fixed up his injury. From here he walked five miles and half to his camp, subsequently, mounting his horse and riding into town. He received medical aid six days after the occurrence. The wound is healing nicely, but it is thought that he may suffer a slight stiff ness of his leg as the result of his battle with bruin.
