Skowhegan Hotels.
CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC TO-DAY.

Yesterday afternoon the word circua-
ted freely around town that all the Hotels
In town would be closed to-day, and the
several landlords served printed card
with the supper menu which read as
follows:
SPECIAL NOTICE
Owing to our inability to pay fine of $50 90
day, which we feel is unjustly imposed upon US,
we shall on Thursday morning, December 18th,
at l0 A. NJ, close our house to the public.
Per order,
r. W. HAIsEs, Hotel Coburn,
f. G. HEsRLToN, Hotel Heselton,
Geo. +. WAsnBrRS, Skowhegan House.
Should either of these hotels be opened again
they will be pleased to receive your patronage.
1t appeared that this action was taken
on account of notice served upon the
proprietors of these three hotels by Con
stable W. II. Paine, requiring them to
take out licenses as innholders In accor-
dance with tho provisions of Section to
IA Of Chapter ~ of the revised statutes.
This law has heretofore been as nearly
a dead letter as any law can well be, not
only in Skowhegan but generally in
Maine One license only has been Issued
under 1t this year in town and that was to
Smith Whittier as victualler The
license fee Is only one dollar but the OBJ.
jectionable feature to the hotel keepers
is the bond of $500 that is required.
[f1aaT ,;o.o5 Exon, so-. . .c -
town clerk compose the licensing board
and 1t is made their duty to prosecute for
any violations of the law that come to
their knowledgeby complaint, indictment,
or action of debt.
The only penalty for falling to take out
a licen Sc that we can find is as follows;
"Sec. 10. No person shall be common
innholder or victualler without license,
under penalty OF net more Man ny DEF
lars" The risk to non.licensed innhold
ers is not therefore very great.
1t seems to US that 1t is ill-advised at
this time to invoke this law which ap-
pears to have gone into general disuse
by common consent, II the object is to
suppress the sale of intoxicating liquors.
We do not understand that anything in
this line has been accomplished by this
law. What has been accomplished has
been by other processes.
The proprietors Of the above hotels in
formed us at 10 o'clock this morning,
that their hotels were closed.
You will fnd the best assortment OF
linen and embroidered handkerchiefs at
M. B. Heselton's.

Editor Florida AgricuIturfst:

1 have fine COW of Florida stock, but she has
o very short breath, sort of q painting, like
oxen when they have been drawing heavy loads
She is troubled in that way even in the morning
after standing under acool shelter all night. Can
any one tell what the trouble is and what will
cure her? What is the cause and what is the
remedy for the so-called hollow horn? Do you
think that is the trouble with the COW? Any in
formation in regard to the trouble will be thankful
ly received. j. C. CAREY.
1t would be hard to tell just what is
the trouble from this simple statement of
short breath, but should imagine it was
fever, which is generally known by one
or more of that combination of signs
known as follows Loss of appetite, in
creased velocity of the pulse, difficult
breathing, heaving at the flank, thirst
and pain.
1t may be from cold or from exposure
in hot Sun and heavy rains and at the
same time being in state OF debility.
But the owner should be able to know
better about that.
CURE
[ would give her, EPSON salts four
ounces, sulphur two ounces, ginger one
fourth ounce, to be given in warm water
with ounce of sweet spirits OF nitre. Re-
peat daily. When the bowels are pro-
perly relaxed and the fever reduced, give
a tonic, such as Tilghman's condition
powders, which are sold in many of the
stores, by whole sale and retail at Arker-
man & Stewards, Palatka, Fla.
AS to hollow Horn, there is no such
disease originating or located there. A
peculiar GOODNESS of the horns is one of
the symptoms of so-called hollow horn,
but the cause of the disease is degener
ated condition OF the blood resulting
from other diseases, exposure or old age.
All treatment to the horns is worthless
but give a good tone and plenty good
food and there will not be much COM
plaint of hollow horns.

"Good morning. should like to ask
for little information, if you please.
The speaker was a northern tourist in
the Ozark mountains of southwestern
Missouri. He had halted near small,
windowless cabin, in front of which a
sallow, shrewd native sat smoking a cob
pipe.
r "Wull?' came the slow reply. The
man did" not move nor did he take his
pipe from his mouth or his hands from
his pockets as he surveyed the elegant
young man in corduroys.
81 should like to inquire" said the
tourist, ''if this isn't the region where
the clay eaters live? was told / should
reach it about noon"
The Missourian rose slowly, and, ad
vancing his lank figure, gleam Of fur
in his eye, asked in his turn;
"Clay? Be you hungry for some, young
feller?"- youths Companion.

Varieties of fungi, or toadstools, as
they are popularity called, which give
out light in a dark place have been re,
ported from Australia and other parts of
the world. The appearance of this in
teresting growth, as seen in Brazil, is de-
scribed by an English naturalist.
One dark night, about the beginning
of December, while passing along the
streets, l observed some boys amusing
themselves with some luminous object,
which l at first supposed to be kind OF
large freely, but, on making inquiry,
found it to be a beautiful phosphorescent
fungus, and was told that it grew abund-
antly in the neighborhood, on the decay
ing leaves of dwarf palm. Next day
obtained a great many specimens, and
found them to vary from one inch to two
inches and half across.
The whole plant gives out at night q
bright, phosphorescent light, of pale
greenish hue, similar to that emitted by
the larger firefies, or by the curious soft
bodied marine animals. The light giver
out by few of these fungi, in a darl
room, was sufficient to read by Youths
COMPANION.

The Ct gilization of Fern began about
the same time as that of Mexico, about
800 years prior to the landing OF Column
bus. II is attributed to Manic, the first
Peruvian king Of the Incas line, who es-
tablished the empire on affirm basis, He
connected the country by number Of
straight roads, often 100 miles in extent,
and all connected with the capital.
Along these roads were placed houses
of repose and entertainment for the
kings runners. Agriculture received
much attention, and, on account of the
scarcity of rain prevalent in that region
the fields were watered by canals led in
from rivers and lakes. The people cult
waited maize, potatoes, and cotton, and
had quite an extensive commerce.
The religious character of the ancient
Peruvians is an interesting study. They
were much more developed in this re
spect than their southern neighbors, anC
while the worship Of the sun seems K
have been the religion of the people, theii
priests seem to have held the higher be
lief Of a personal God, creator of the SUI
and other heavenly bodies.
Human sacrifices were almost un
known in Peru, and cannibalism isneve
found. Picture writing was used to
great extent, and a record of time wa
kept by a system of knotted stringa
They had quite developed in poetry, an,
we have still some thirty or forty of thei
songs. which we're mainly upon their ai
fections. Philadelphia Ledger.

One evening / was out with party Of
Young friends. It had been trying to
snow all afternoon and had cleared of
cold. As we passed a ready made cloth
ing store we noticed a couple Of dunn
mics out in front covered with snow.
One of these two particular dummies
was looking in the window, probably
watching the cashier inside, while the
other was faced toward the street, pos
sibly to draw trade. On the breast Of
his long, snow laden ulster he wore =
banner with the strange device, Buy
me, only S7.38" just as we were pass
ing we saw a young clerk approaching
the door, whisk broom in hand, to hEu1h
the snow from the duAmies. One Of
my friends, who knew the clerk, said,
Limitation of dummy" and he jumped
into a rigid position between the papieT
mache men. We ran across the street
to watch things. Out came the clerk
and brushed the snow from the nearest
figure, turning it around on IT'S well
| creased standard as he did 50. Then he
reached for our friend, who stood stiff
and still He carefully. brushed the
snow from the back Of his long ulster
and then took hold Of his arm to turn
him around. As he felt flesh and blood
he dropped his whisk, uttered horrible
yell and disappeared behind a pile Ol
