The First, Tenth, and Twenty ninth Rcg-
ment Associations and the Fifth Maine Asso-
citation have decided to combine their forces
and in a body attend the exercises at the ded-
cation of the Gettysburg monument on Names
day. The eXcursionists will leave Portland,
Oct / going to Boston by rail, thence by the
Fall River line to New York, 100 state rooms
having been spoken for on this line. From
New y ork the party proceed to Gettysburg via
Philadelphia & Baltimore, once the Baltimore
4 Ohio railroad. On their return they will visit
numerous other battlefieds, first going to Hag-
gerstown, continuing on to Antietam, Iiarper's
Ferry, Charleston, Winchester, Cedar Creek,
Fishers Hill, Fort Royal, Manassas Junction
and Culpepper, finally arriving at Washington,
where several days will be spent before the re-
turn home.
In fact, members can stay as long as they
please, tickets not being limited to any special
time. But il is expected that about ten days
will be occupied by the larger number of the
party. The round trip will cost $2l.50 for
fares alone, other necessary outays bringing
the expenses up to about thirty dollars. All

A great many earnest thinkers of a
nervous temperament fall into the habit
OF scowlinS when they read, write or
talk scriou'ly. This causes two lite
perpendicular lines TO plough in be-
tween the eyes. /; Is habit al.
most impossible to correct, once
f1rmcd, as il il done uncon'cioasly by
a great mary y uns people. Even IN
sleep thclE lrows will bc drawn tog :,hcr
in this mn ic,ou, little frown ,ha. i, the
alder an abci,cr Of age.
A brigh', s,rd oas Young woman still
in her early twentics found hcrse the
victim OF this scowl, which had alrca "
made two fine hair. lines in her white
brow. She set herself TO work to cure
the habit by setting her mirror before
her face when she read, wrote or
studici; but as this distracted her at
tca,ion from her WORK she finally placcl
ribbon band tightly across hrr bow,
tyiag i. in kno. at the back OF her
head, anl a, might she slept in the
band. After several moaihs the little
hair lines disappeared from her pretty
forehead, and shs /, quite cured OF the
disfi;urins habit.

PLANTING POTATOES.

Seed potatoes are safer in tho soil
than anywhere else during the winter
where the ground will not freeze down
TO the seed. Tho fall plan ting Of this
crop in suitable climate Is thcrcfo
TO be recommended. Far north, where
the snow prevents freezing OF tho soil,
this method may be safely followed. rs
well as further south, where the winters
are sufficiently mild. The planting is
TO be done Us follows: The soil is first
well plowcd as deeply rs may be and
then narrowed. Burrows inches deep
and 3 feet apart are then made. and the
seed is dropped is inches apart, one
modcrate-sized potato at each place.
The drills are covered in by turning the
soil over them both ways, leaving a
ridge directly over the seed. In the
Spring these ii lgcs are lcvelcd by har.
rowing crosswisc. and the narrowing
should be repeated at intervals until the
young plants appear. when thcy are COW
cred by n light iurrow tuned toward
them on each side until at last they arc
