Justice Sargent on Enforcing Law.

There are two men on the police
force that fully believe the laws in re-
lation to liquor were passed to be
enforced and try to carry them out
in full. But they find that the law
was enacted as farce, because those
who pretend to sanction the law take
every means to abuse and condemn
their actions, when they make slight
mistakes in their work. Gentlemen,
do not abuse the officers of the law,
but rather see that you elect men
who will enact laws that the public
will generally sustain. - St. Johns

CORRUPT POLITICAL METHODS, -

The above is the title of an article
in the June Forum by Senator Ed

attention, not only from its subject,
but from the character of the author,
who is one of the acknowledged
leaders of American craftsmanship
The two opening sentences will give
a little idea of the scope of the article:
ITO what extent is it wise and prop

can the use of money in elections be

RAILROAD NEWS.

The annual meeting of the B. c. &
M. railroad was held at Plymouth
Monday. Among the directors elect
ed was Hiram n. Turner of ST. Johns
bury. E. H. Rollins of Concord was
chosen president; E. D. Harlow of
Boston, treasurer.
The Boston and Maine and Con-
cord railroad people have come to
an amicable agreement with regard
to the Boston, Concord & Montreal
road, the Maine managers agreeing
to relinquish the property on the last
day of May. 1t will be remembered
in this connection that the Caledoni-
an of two weeks ago announced that
the Boston & Maine company are
building little link near Whitefeld,
n. H, to run from SCOTS to Faby-
ans, and to be completed by Janu-
airy l. This will give them connec-
ton via the Passumpsic road, own
ed by the Boston & Maine, with the
Canadian Pacific and then over the
Portland & Ogdensburg and Maine
Central roads, thus making a new
route to Boston only 1S miles longer
than by the B. c. & NJ and Concord
roads.
A special from Concord to the Bos-
ton Journal says that the remarks of
Samuel B. Page of Woodsville at the
Plymouth railroad meeting were
generally regarded as presaging an
other legislative railroad contest.
He said that as a minority stock
holder he protested against thatpor-
ton of the annual report of the Bos-
ton, Concord & Montreal directors
which favOrs a union or cOnsOl1da-
ton with the Concord. He added
that he wished to put himself on re-
cord, as he should introduce into the
coming Legislature bill to repeal
what is known as the Colby railroad
law. Mr.. Page is counsel for the
Boston & Lowell road.

REAL ESTATE CHANGES.

The Fairbanks scale company have
purchased the Fletcher store-now
occupied by Harvey & Brown-on
Main street. The price paid is about
$500. The lot is SO feet front and
about eight rods deep with the privi-
lege of driveway of ten feet wide
on the north side. 1t is surmised
that the company will remove their
dry goods department from Fair
banks village to this new purchase,
keeping the grocery department
where it now is, but no action has
been taken by the directors as yet on
what use is to be made of the new
store. On account of other interests
Harvey & Brown are already closing
out their stock of goods as fast as
possible although their lease does
not expire until next January. This
store was built by the late Ephraim
Jewett in 1S49. 1t is a thoroughly
made building, and is in tolerable re-
pair, I. c. Fletcher having laid out a
large amount in valuable changes
within few years. 1t is called the
best business location on the Plain,
and whether the scale company Oc-
cupy it as it is, or enlarge or rebuild,
the effect will be to give little boom
to business on Main street
Charles A. Judd has bought the
house and lot on Cliff street, foot of
Autumn, of c. NJ Stone, for $1,000,
and has already moved in
George Hidden has bought a tract
of land on Cliff street of Horace Car

THE HOME PHYSICIAN.
Headaches.

There are many kinds of headaches, >
said doctor recently to a reporter foI
the Mail and Express. ''In these days
the nervous headache is a very distinct
variety. 1t Is generally located In
front of the head, across the forehead,
over the eyes. 1t may be in other
parts, though-at the top of the head,
at one or both sides, at the back, or all
over. 1t is painful, depressing, dis
abling. A man feels at the heigth of
paroxysm like a hunter who has gallop-
ed his legs clean off, and who could not
leep a three-foot ditch to save his life
The spur is of no use, neither is the
whip. The pain in the head is worse to
bear than either, and the patient will
rather endure both whip and spur than
make any kind of effort which viii make
the head pain worse. Physic by itself
is of no use. There is not single drug
known to medical science which will of
itself at once and permanently cure a
nervous headache.
''On the other hand, drugs are not
always needed A complete change of
air and circumstances will usually take
away the pain In ten or twelve hours.
Perfect rest of q duration proportioned
to the severity and long continuance of
lAc Will u cure
nent. There are, of course, methods of
relieving and diminishing the pain until
such time as it may be possible to OBJ
tain the complete rest But the rest is
the thing to be secured at all costs. If
not, the pain goes from bad to worse
and the risk from less to greater. The
final consequence it is impossible to
predict, except that a breakdown soon
er or later is inevitable, and the break
down may be for year or for life
time.
"a nervous headache is a danger sig
nal; if 1t be frequent the danger Is in
creased, and if continuous, a catastrophe
Is imminent. The driver must put on
his brakes at all hazards, or he will
probably soon have a leap for his life.
There are very few sets of circumstances
in which 1t is a mans duty to go on with
his work when he is in this condition,
at all risks. Even a threatened bank
ruptcy had better be risked than a
life. Besides, a man who is
in the unyielding grip of a permanent
headache is not really the best Judge of
his own circumstances. He magnifies
and distorts things amazingly. He
takes counsel of his fears and abandons
his hope and courage altogether Rest
and sufficient is the sovereign
Two weeks at once may be
better than a year very soon"

HOUSEHOLD.

MAYONNAISE DRESSING.-Put the
uncooked yelks of two eggs into a clean,
cold soup dish, stand on the ice for fif-
teen minutes. Place the oil also on the
ice. When both are perfectly cold add
10 the yelks half teaspoonful OF salt,
a dash of cayenne. and, if you like, a
half teaspoonful of mustard. Work
these well together, and then I'D drop
by drop, half pint or more of good
olive oil. You must stir rapidly and
steadily while adding the oil. Do not
reverse motion or it may curdle. After
adding one gill of oil, alternate occa-
sionally with few drops of lemon
juice or vinegar. The more oil you use
the thicker the DIRE sing. If it becomes
too thick add about q half teaspoonful
of vinegar. More or less oil may be
added, according TO the quanti y of
dressing wanted. With care a quart
bottle or oil may be stirred into the
yelks of two eggs, alternating with
few drops of lemon juice or vinegar.
after adding the first gill of oil. In
case the dressing should curdle, l. e.,
the oil and egg separate, which makes
the dressing oily and liquid, begin anew
at once with the yelks of two eggs on
another plate, and after stirring them
well, add by teaspoonfuls the curdled
mayonnaise, stirring rapidly and stead
lily as before, and then finish by adding
more oil as directed. This dressing, if
covered tightly in a jar or tumbler, will
keep In cold place three or four days.
1t may be varied and mlroved by add
ing plain or tarragon vinegar, whipped
cream, half teaspoonful of powdered
seed, cervil or onion juice.

STARTING A BLUE-GRASs PAS
TURE.-Waldo +. Brown, a noted Ohio
farmer and prolific writer on rural
topics, says the way he started his pas
ture was by sowing one bushel of blue
grass seed TO the acre, and at the same
time seeding heavily with variety of
other grasses and clover. The blue
grass made no show until two years
later, but has been improving ever
since. The last piece of bluegrass on
his farm was started by cutting sods at
the roadside and chopping them into
pieces about two inches square, which
were dropped from a basket about two
feet apart, and stepped on to press them
IN the SOIL This was on land Just sown
TO oats. These pieces grew to the size
of dinner plates the first year, and in a
few years crowded out all other grasses
and formed a complete sward. Mr.
Brown believes that, taking one year
with another, a field of bluegrass pays
better than any other crop, and, at the
very least, ten acres out of every hun
dred ought TO be occupied with it.
