The merchants excursion on last Wednes-
day was not as largely attended as in former
years. This was the fifth excursion of the
kind and the attendance was about 10.

grand officers, went to Gorham on Friday
evening to install the officers of Gorham lodge

Mr.. F. A. Bettes died last Monday from the
effects of the fall of few days previous.
The funeral took place at his late residence
on Church street Thursday afternoon. There
was large attendance of friends and rela-
tives. He was buried under the honors of
Saccarappa lodge of OddFellows, about so
members being present. Mr.. Bettes had
been an active, earnest member in his order
for many years. Past Grand Representatives
Higgins and Merrill of Portland were in at
tendance at the funeral.
The estimated population of Westbr ook by
the present census Is 6700. AS it was only
1881 in 1880, these figures show a decidedly
healthy growth, and gain of nearly 20 per
cent AS far as heard from, no city or town
in Maine can show such percentage of gain
as ours.

A HINT TO YOUNG MOTHERS.

Fifty years ago the art of feeding infants in any
| other manner than the natural one was practi-
| cally unknown writes Helen N Packard in
| "Good Housekeeping" but the world moves
| and the demand will always cause a supply.
| Hence the nursing bottle sprang into existence.
| Certainly no other modern Improvement has
| been of any more benefit to humanity than this.
There is a wide spread distrust OF the bottle as
means OF suStenance for infants, but, be ii I'M
derStood, the objection comes principally from
those elderly ladies who have reared their families
IN tne g10d Sldj . way The mother of
nursing children carried away from her desolafe
heart would naturally think that perhaps it may
be some constitutional trouble with her herself
which causes her little ones to die in convnlsions
or other childish diseases, and so will have
recourse to the nursing bottle for the next little
healthy "" 10 h@ius A

ene olu metnod, let us use them UNDERSTANDABLE

New England mothers have found through per-
s0lad experience that their babies who were
SO slckly when fed in the natural way, became
nealthy and strong when weaned.

~ MRS. Nathaniel Norris, East Westmoreland,
n. H., when her baby was few weeks old, was
ordered by the physician to wean the child and
use Lactated Food. He considered Lactated
Eood superior to any, and in Mrs. Norriss case
iar preferable to mothers milk. Tho little. one
Is now well and healthy, and perfect specimen
The opinions OF many of our physicians have
been solicited ID connection with Lactated Food,

never disappoint. We cheerfully recommend

creek and Armenian Marriages.

ATHENS, July 17.-Greek girls usually
marry when sixteen or seventeen if they
have good dowry, not otherwise, unless
they happen TO be unusually beautiful,
and even then they are looked down on
by the condescending bridegrooms and
their families, who do not allow them to
forget that they were portionless. When
a Greek girl is of a manageable age
her brother, or cousin or father if she
has no brother, goes to his closest friend
and says: Il have little sister to mar
ry. Her dover will be so much in money
or.jewels."
The other accepts if the sum is high
enough, but does not hesitate to higgle
over the smallest matters like q pirate.
The dowry must be of the most tangible
sort. When this is settled the bride
groom prospective is taken to see the
girl and they are formally betrothed.
The dowry is paid to him the day of the
wedding ceremony, and his female rela-
tives count over every article of her very
under linen to make sure that it is all
there. The Greek girls have to marry the
man chosen for them unquestioningly.
| knew beautiful young Greek girl
who was in school yet. Her father sent
an old man to the school to see her, and
she was sent for to the parlor, where
she made her most profound bow, talked
a few words in French and English with
him and played her ''star" piece on the
piano, and thought she was showing off
for the benefit Of the school, when to
her dismay she discovered that she was
TO marry him. She had so small dowry
that no young man would take her, and
so she was given to this horrible old
man-for horrible he was. | knew her
year after her marriage, which was
one long torture.
Poor girls have u hard time to find
husbands, and sometimes their families
will bind themselves to support bride
and groom and any possible increase for
a certain term of years in place of a
dowry, and the contract is strictly en-
forced This is why girl babies are so
coolly welcomed in Europe.
Greek wives are more like slaves to
their husbands than Turkish ones, and
IN case Of death or divorce the dowry she
brings is not restored to her, but she
must take her chances with the other
heirs. They are under the control of
their brothers or sons, even if widowed
and it is rare that they are allowed the
control of their own money, Their broth
ers, fathers or husbands may beat them,
and in fact make their very lives bur
dens' though l think they usually treat
them mildly.
Armenian girls are usually very pretty
but inane, and their parents begin to
save their dowry as soon as thev are
born, and this is handed over to the
bridegroom the day before the wedding
so that the impecunious bridegroom MAJ ~;
buy handsome present for his bride
