after tiresome journey of nineteen hours,

obtain more than an occasional doubtful

tenance for hours can be. | secured my
rooms and ordered hot supper to be sent

The clerk scratched the number of my
room against the name l had inscribed
upon the register, and informed me with
lordly indifference that supper was over..

one cooked for me.

Spelling for a Mouse.

Mrs. Banks was in the habit of spelling
out such words as she did not wish her lit
tie girl Jennie to understand when she was
talking before her to Jennie's papa or to
Betty in the kitchen.
One day when Jennie was at school Bet
ty came running into the sitting room
where Mrs Banks was sewing. Betty was
in state of great excitement. She had
still in her hand the fiat iron with which
she had been at work.
ooh, Mis- Banks!" she exclaimed, where
did YOU put the trap? There's a m o-u-s-e

to Catch it!'-Youth's Companion.

THE ORCHARDS.

Then you see the hitherto concealed or.
chards. The trees are small, without one
particle of dead wood on them. All the
strength of the soil is in the fruit, and the
manner in which that has been thinned
out at an early stage of growth would
prove surprise to the novice or tender
foot. These orchards jointly cover many
thousand acres, and each is cultivated to
the highest possible degree. They are so
many gold mines in a season of high prices,
and a source of good income at any time.
Easier than eastern farming? Yes, of
course; but the orchard owner has some
drawbacks. He is constantly menaced by
the ever shoaling Sacramento river, for
one thing. The miners have poured such
a mass of detritus into the river that the
bed has been raised so that the levees must
be made higher and higher. There are one
or two islands in the river which are or
were, practically submerged a few years
ago Whether their many broad acres
have been reclaimed since. then ! don't

Oaptious English Doctors.


The whole of the medical profession in Eng
land is being agitated by the question, ''W hat
is the practical value of Professor hochs
curey'
Three physicians Of Birmingham, who went
to study the matter at headquarters have writ
ten a letter to a Birmingham paper in which
they say: "Some cases OF phthisis and Of lupus
vulgaris have unquestionably improved under
the treatment, but with respect to the latter
we have seen nothing that might not be due to
the relatively favorable hygienic conditions I'M
der which they were placed.
The other cases up to the present have de
rived no marked benefit, but it must be remem-
bered that the first case of phthisis was inject
ed as recently as September - last, and the
great majority of cases much later

Town OF District System.

Among the many interesting questions that
will probably come before the next Legislature
is that pertaining to the town system of school
management. !. n. Wadsworth, Esq, of the
superintendent of schools office, is engaged in
compiling statistics bearing on this question,
which will probably be brought to the atten-
ton of the committee on education the coming
winter Though these statistics are as yet in
complete in some respects il is seen from them
that of al the towns in the State, II per cent.
are under the town system. In II counties 30
per cent are under this SyStem in ten count
les 56 per cent, in eight counties, or one-half
the State, 61 10 per cent. Androscoggin county
has 81 per cent. under the town sy>tem Cum

are no schools under the town system; in Ken

the towns have not adopted the town system as
vet, there are large minorities III favor of it.

The National Grange.

Reports received from the State Master at
Atlanta indicate a very large and successful
session of the National Grange. From many
sections the good news of renewed activity has
been received The finances are in flourish
ing condition, and the work of another year
will open with promise of growth. We of the
State of Maine can rejoice that Worthy Master
Prince was able to carry so good report from
the Pine Tree State. Never was the Order
here upon such firm foundations as to-day.
The numerical gain will be found to be entire
ly satisfactory when the year closes, and the
future is bright for the Order in Maine. The
Grange has had an educational influence for
twenty-five years, which no other farmers or
ganization ever attained, and its work is not
yet accomplished. 1t will live long after the
other farmers organizations have ceased TO
exist. and 60 on to do its grand work. Ban

Rev. Sam Small, the evangelist, who is now
the president of Methodist university in Og
den. Utah. in Boston interview the other day
said that further legislation is required to eradi-
cate the Mormon cancer, and this will be
met by means of the pending bills in the United
States Senate. He thinks the proclamation of
President Woodruff of the Mormon hierarchy
against polygamy was a cunning sham to pre-
vent any further adverse legislation by Con-
gress. and is not taken seriously by any of his
followers.
