acknowledgements.
On the farm of Captain Isaac Green
in the town of Surrey, there stands big
tree which had a peculiar origin. In
1912 Captain Green's grandfather attend
ed court at Castine, and, on departing
for home, he cut a switch from willow
tree to use as a cane, the journey being
made on foot. On arriving at his home
| Grandfather Green stuck his little will
low switch into the ground, where the
soil was soft and spongy, and thought
nothing more of it. The twig took root,
however, and was soon growing vigor-
ously. To-day the walking stick of
1912 is tree measuring 20 feet around
the trunk, having limbs that grit Z, s,
9and 10 feet and extending it's branches
in circle rs feet in diameter. 1t is
still a vigorous tree, and will doubtless
stand for many decades to come.

at the age of seventy-fve, can do good

The town of Corinth, Penobscot Coun-
ty, is proud in the possession of a young
man who may truly be called a human
pincushion. The remarkable Corinth-
ian sticks pins and needles all through
his flesh and jabs horseshoe nails into his
breast without apparent pain. He also
sticks needles through his chest and
pulls them out of his mouth. He does
this sort of thing 'for the fun of it,"
and never saw a dime museum in his
life.
1t is rather novelty for a man to be
marooned in this part of the world, but
such a misfortune befell Gardinerman
the other day in the heart of Kennebec
County. The man in question was en-
plOyed in the mills at Winthrop. and,
wishing to cross Lake Cobbossecontee.
he hired couple of Frenchmen to carry
him over. The bOatmen were both
drunk, and set their passenger ashore
on an island instead of on the main
land. The unfortunate mans shouts
for help when he discovered his situa-
ton were of no avail, and he was
obliged to pass three days and four
nights on the island, which is uninhabit-
ed and covered with thick forest. He
broke into a summer cottage and found
a few crackers, onions and potatoes
enough to last him one day. The other
two days he went hungry. On the fourth
day he raised his coat on tall tree as a
signal, which, luckily, was seen from
the mainland, and he was rescued very
hungry and mad enough to eat drunken
Frenchmen on toast.-Bangor (Me.) Let.

Automatic Voting Booths.

LOVE OF HISTORY.
True or False, Its Records Always Appeal
to Human Passions

hUe VI RAISE It's Records Always Appeal
to Human Passions.
The love of history seems inseparable
from human nature, because it seems in
separable from self-love. The same
principle, in this instance, carries us
forward and backward, to future and to
past ages, and runs through mankind.
from Caesar down to the parish clerk in
Pope's Miscellany. We are fond of pre-
serving, as far as it is in our power. the
memory of our own time, and of those
who preceded it. Rude heaps of stone
have been raised, and rude hymns have
been composed, for this purpose, bv
nations which had not yet the use of
arts and letters. Togo no further back.
the triumphs of Odin were celebrated in
runlc songs, and the feats of our British
ancestors were recorded in those of their
bards. The savages of America have
the same custom at this day; and long
historical ballads of their huntings and
their wars are sung at all their festivals.
There is no need of saying how this
passion grows among civilized nations.
In proportion to the means of gratifv-
ing 1t; but let us observe, that the same
principle Of nature directs us as strong
~, and more generally as well as more
early, to indulge our own curiosity, in
stead of preparing to crafty that of
others. The child hearkens with de-
light to the tales of his nurse; he learns
to read, and he devours with eagerness
fabulous legends and novels; in ripper
years he applies himself to history, or
to that which he takes for history, to
authorized romance; and, even in age,
the desire of knowing what has hap
pened to other men, yields to the desire
alone of relating what has happened to
ourselves. Thus history, true or false,
speaks to our passions alwavs.-N Y.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eusGachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining tbs new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. II. Dixon & Son, cor. of John

Over Seventy Forgeries Cause His Part
ners $27O,O Loss.
Albert n. Smith the junior partner in the
brokerage firm of Mills, Robson 4 Smith, at
No. 90 Broadway, New York, is a prisoLer
charged with over seventy forgeries, aggregat-
ing $500 Smith has acknowledged his
guilt to Inspector Byrnes, and has turned
over all his property ITO W. A. Watson for the
benefit Of his creditors. In his confession
Smith says he used. the money obtained by his
forgeries to reimburse customers of the firm who
had lost money on his suggestions. Before his
arrest he made a clean breast Of his doings to
his associates in the firm.
SMITHS WAY OF DOING IT.
About six years ago Smith became embar.
rassed, and to save himself adopted the scheme
which has led to his downfall. His plan was
quite simple. He would buy seven, eight or
nine shares Of frst-class stock, and by adding
a cipher on the letter Y, raise the order to
seventy, eighty or ninety shares. These he
would deposit with the firm as a private ac-
count, and thus made his partners responsible.
THE DISCOVERY.
Smiths forgeries might have continued in
definitely if Stock Clerk W. A. Watson had not
discovered that the figures in a certificate
turned in by Smith on Saturday had been
raised. An investigation followed and showed
that Smith had purchased but seven shares in
stead Of seventy, as appeared on the face of
the certificate. This led to an overhauling Of
the books Of the firm and then all came to light
Smith 10 q prominent churchman and a men,
Der Of several clubs. Knowing that exposure
was inevitable he sent his resignation to all the
clubs previous to his arrest. He is forty five
years old and a childless widower. All Of
Smiths forgeries are not . total loss to the
firm, as about one-fourth can be recovered

ments which we're to have made the delight of
Nice and Cannes this winter have lamentably

men who have distinguished themselves dur
Ing the past season by driving their coaches
out OF Paris In different directions-Mr James
Gordon Bennett and Mr.. Tiffany of New York,
MIR. Rldgwsy and the Baron Legrine Of Paris
The harmony Of the quartet was first inter-
rupted q short time ago by the failure of Mr.
Bennett to appear with his coach with Q party
of ladies from Newport including the
weil-known Miss Letter, who has been
30 much admired this year in Paris
and London They were to drive
with him on the Damplere road past the cele-
>brated historical chateau of the Duchess de
Iuynes. At the time appointed the coach and
horses were there and the ladies, but the coach
man did not appear. His place was taken by
1tr. Tiffany. who 10 considered the best whip Of
the four. The coach paused for time to take
up its regular Jehu As he did not appear Mr.
Tiffany conducted the party throughout the
day, TO their great satisfaction. This affair
seems to have led to further complications, and
about ten days ago Mr.. Tiffany, Mr. Ridgway

southwest of France, and they will take them
selves and their coaches to Pau in the Pre-
