.Bakinc Day" In Australia

A hard and tough compound, known
asdampr, is used as bread by the people
Of Australia. Judging from its consist
ency, M might GUESS, without being
told, that ''baking day" does not come
very often on the sheep runs. The
author Of wild Life thus describes the
making Of dampr:
"Alike, he shepherd. brought out an
empty flour sack, carefully folded it in
two, laid it upon the ground. ard spread
over it about five pounds of flour. Clear
ing a space in the middle Of the heap.

worked the flour in for half an hour.

out into a cake three inches thick. it
might almost have kept lis shape when

''His helper had by this time made a

pulled of tile half burned brands. leav-
ing a mass Of glowing embers. Raking
these together he stirred them to drive of
all the dust, and then with a long stick
worked them away from the center.
Into this clear space upon the bare. heated
ground. he skillfully dropped the great,
cheese shaped cake of dough, and left it
some minutes to get the outside used to
the heat as he said.
.'Finally the embers were scraped to-
gether and spread over the cake, and
this primitive outdoor oven was left to do
its work. Just before bed time the cake
was withdrawn from the now powdery
ashes. and the shepherd, tapping it with
his knife handle, remarked, Sounds

Then he set it on its edge inside the
hut to cool-a well baked dampr."

SIGNATURE Of the Gar.

The ear spends very little time in
his study. as he is more afraid of his
stoutness than Of political plots, and is
consequently in the habit of receiving his
ministers in the grounds, walking up and
down an avenue while listening to their
reports. He frequently adds his initial
"a" to an important document by hold
ing it against a tree, and hence it Is
rather indistinct at times. The car is
by no means quick in signing deeds, and
in many cases numbers Of those neatly
written specimens of Russian caligraphy
are returned without signature, and then
the "court c~aligraphers," who Guido in
their art the monks of old, have to do
their work owe again. The Argonaut.

Horse Notes.

The stylish young Wilkes stallion, Win
throp Wilkes, bred and owned by Mr.. w. H.
Miles of Lisbon, agent of Farwelps Mills,
was sold Tuesday to c. F. Pearson, ESQ.,. of
Bath. The price paid for the colt was ST.
900. The dam of the colt is now owned by
Mr. Miles. She is a lofty chestnut mare, 16
hands high and weighs 1850 pounds, years
old and speedy.
G. ii. Pishon, of SkowhegaD, has sold a
pair Of matched colts to years old, to w.
r. Swift of New Bedford, Mass, for $3.50.
These colts were sired by Nelson's Onward.
Within the past two weeks two carloads
of good horses have been shipped from
Waterville Mr. A. F. Gerald shipped one
to Bath, and seven TO Boston; Freeman
Jones shipped eight to Worcester. Mass,
and John Colby Horne shipped full car
load to New York. The latter were very
fine horses, all raised in the vicinity of
Wateryille and Fairfield, and worth from
$500 to $1,000 each.

Mr. Powderly In his last address to the
Knights propounds this conundrum: "Why
should man who owns piece of land re-
fuse to sell it until population increases so
that he can get fabulous price for itP"
II Is quite easy to answer why he does. Ii
is because he is selfish and loves money.
But why he should is question not so
easy. Perhaps the answer is that he
shouldn't. but that he will until the human
race is regenerated and selfshness elimin-
ated from mans composition we have no
doubt. II Mr.. Powderly propounds his
question. as seems likely, for the purpose of
indirectly suggesting that something should
be done to compel men to sell their property
when they do not want to because others
want them to then he is guilty Of impelling
the Knights to attack the right Of the owner
of property to retain or dispose Of it as he
sees.1t A raid Of that sort would do inf
nitely more harm In the community than the
strike and the boycott which Mr.. Powderly
is just now deprecating.

the RockIand Lime Burners and the
mills BILL

One of the most important Industries of
Maine which is affected by the Mills bill is
the burning of lime. The present tariff law
imposes duty Of ten per cent. which gives
the lime manufacturers fair show in
American markets and insnres to Knox
county prosperous industry. Take away
the lime business. or admit tn the field for
eign competitor who eau uudersell in the
markets to the westward, and You have
struck blow at the business Of Knux coun-
ty which would be felt by its business men,
Its laborers, and especially by its ship own
ers. There never was time when they
needed the ten per cent. duty more than the
present. az will be seen readily by glance
at the present condition of the lime industry.
Five years ago the lime burners of New
Brunswick were rarely seen in the markets
of the United States. In 1888 the whole
amount of limo which they sold in this coun-
try amounted to only $l,027O5. But within
FIVE years great changes have taken place In
the inexhaustible lime quarries abont ST.
john. The operators of them have begun to
enter the American market. and last year
they sold in the United States iinie to the
value of $4,000, quite Il material increase
from the 81, ,O27. .05 worth in 1883 To increase
this importation ndefLitely all the Canadian
burners are waiting only for the removal of
the ten per cent duty. They are. confident
of their ability to drive the Maine burners
from the markets Of Boston and New York,
because, as the St John Sun Of recent date
says, the rock around ST Johu is of the very
best quality, ard so placed that ii can be
quarried at much less cost than similar rock
can be quarried in Rockland. Then the wood,
which for use in the klns of Maine has to be
brought from New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, is very handy to the quarries Of st.
John, and can be obtained at little cost.
The carriage from 81. John to Boston or
New York in provincial vessels which can
be run cheaper tar American vessels,
would not be mach, leaving very large
margin with which to force the Maine pan-
ufacturers out Of the market The sudden
riselof Canadian competition. even under
the ten per cent. duty, has been remarkably
large, as the value of the shipments from
New Brunswick during the last three years
shows:

January, February and March of the pres
ent year, amount to 1870. more than for
the corresponding period of any previous
year. and afford the prospect that the
total increase Of the business with the

The contest In the House just ended has
demonstrated that a minority of less than
eighty can defeat the will Of majority Of
over two hundred, and compel the latter to
yield. This is precisely what was done In
the case of the direct tax bill, which has now
been postponed until next December be-
cause the majority could not control the
business Of the House. The House wanted
to pass it, struggled for week to do so, and
at last confessed that it was powerless to
overcome the resistance of beggarly NIL
nority Of eighty. The tactics which were
used to defeat this bill can lie used with
equal effect to defeat any other bill which
quarter Of the House opposes. No matter
how important, how needful for the country
the measure may be, if from sixty to eighty
members take it into their heads that it
should not pass they have the power by in
definite roll calls.to stop its progress. The
theory Of our government is that the maiori-
~ has the right to rule. That is now quail
fed SO far as the House Of Representatives
is concerned. There the doctrine seems TO
be established that the majority have a right
TO rule only when the minority see ft to per-
nit them to. The Democratic majority
which tamely submitted to the filibusters
will probably at a later period have reason
to regret their pusilianimitys
