A recent traveller In India gives the
following description Of flower worship

flowing robe of blue, and on his head q
sheepskin hat-black, glossy, curly, the
fleece Of Ksr-Kal-would saunter In and
stand meditatively over every flower be
saw, and always as II half In vision.
And when the vision WAS fulfilled and
the ideal flower he was seeking found, he
would spread bis mat and sit before It
until the setting Of the sun, and then
fold up bis mat again and 20 home
And the next night, and night after
light until that particular flower faded
away, he would return to II and bring
his ft1ends In ever-increasiDg numbers to

fore 1t, and they would all together pray

These Prizes are offered for the
best three letters on Economy in
House Furnishing and Housekeep-
ing"
Every young lady of not over 10
years of age can compete.
Each competitor is to suppose
they have a house of six rooms to
furnish. Pallor, Dining Room, Sit
ting Room, Kitchen and two Sleep
ing Rooms. We want to know their
ideas about furnishing, the kind of
Carpets and Chamber Sets they
would select, their choice of mate
rial for PaI'lor Suit, and also their
choice of a Range for the kitchen,
and in the fewest words why they
make the selection. They must also
give directions for preparing break
fast, dinner and tea.
The letter is not to exceed one
thousand words, to be written OIL
one side Of the paper only, and to
state whether competing for the
prizes at Bangor or Lewiston. Let
ters referring to the Eastern Maine
State Fair to be addressed to The
Atkinson House Furnishing Co.,
Auburn, Me. We will receive let
ters up to the 10Th of September.
Prizes will be exhibited at both
Fairs and afterwards at our Bangor
and Auburn Stores until the decis-
ion is made.
Every young lady should com.
pete for these prizes, the most sen
sible, plain letter is what we want.
In writing you are reminded that
cheapness is not always economy,
you want to get full value for the
money expended, you want your
home to be neat yet not extrava,
giant.
We offer the Quaker Range as a
first prize because it is par excel
Ience, the very embodiment of all
that means economy. Years have
been spent in bringing this Range
to state Of perfection, where it
gives the greatest possible amount
of convenience for the least possible
outlay Of fuel and labor; that is
true economy.
We desire to get the opinion OF
these young ladies Of a marriagable
age, who will soon be housekeeping,
as to the style of furnishings that
will meet the prevailing taste, fully
believing that as a rule the MAORI
ty is right. We hope to have a
hearty response to this simple tasl
for which we offer these valuable
prizes.
Meantime don't forget that We
are Offering special reductions in

Some Desplsed But Savory Foods

The learned professor who, once
lecturing on entomology, took up 10 his
finger and thumb grasshopper and
chewed 1t down with relish, and told his
students that any one swallowing the
glutmous mass of the oyster had no right
to look akance at his singular choice of
diet, might benefit humanity could he

ones mouth one may not turn up ones
nose at snail - we'll. The snail has
been an article Of food for many years In
certain regions, served, ~ Hans Chris
tian Anderson's snail boosted, on silver
dishes; but, perhaps owing to oul
prodigal abundance Of rich food, 1t has
never been adopted by us, although there
seems to be no more reason for q pref
udice against 1t than against prawns
shrimps, or any mollusE. In France
snails are favorlte dish, and are eaten

they are boiled In milk for the same

epicures they were cultivated by being
fed on fattening food, but their natural
food Is chiefly vegetable. As there are
many more than thousand specimens of

1t Is now known that the best place foI
poultry is on sandy ground, and especi
ally where 1t is almost wholly sand
The reason is that such soils are always
dry and require no draining, the watel
Offering through the soil, and rapidly dis
appearing after each rain. No mud OF
slush interferes with the hens In winter
and they are less liable to roup. True
such soils produce little or no green fooc
but the hens will be free from diseas, and
fertilize the soil sufficiently TO secure
short vegetation after the first year. We
do not advise farmers to expect TO de
really more on poor sandy soil that on Z
good grassy range, but we do advise then
to utilize such locations for poultry
rather than to allow the land to be I'M
productive, even II the profit is small.

POETRY.
Our Country.

Onr thought OF thee is glad with hope,
Dear country OF our love and prayers
Thy way is down no fatal slope,
But up to freer sun and airs.
Tried as by furnace fires, and yet
BY Gods grace only stronger made,
In future tasks before thee set,
Thou shalt not lack the old time aid.
The iarthers sleep, but men remain
As true and wise and brave they,
Why sount the loss without the ganf
The best is that we have to-day.
No lack was in thy primal stock,
No weakling founders builded here;
Thine were the men OF Plymouth Rock
The Puritan and Cavalier.
And they whose firm endurance gained
The freedom Of the souls of men,
Whose hands unstaiued in peace maintained
The swordless commonwealth Of Penn.
And time shall be the power OF all,
To do the work that duty bids.
And make the people council hall
As lasting as the pyramids.
The lesson all the world shall learn,
The nations at thy feet shall sit.
Eafths turthest mountain tops shall burn,
With watch fires from thine own uplit.
Great without seeking to be great
By fraud Or conquest, rich in gold,
But richer still in the large estate
OF virtue which thy children hold.
