Rest as a Law of Physics.

The fact is known to most persons in a
general way that locomotives and other
forms of machinery have an almost
times; and it is more definitely known
to all men who shave-especially if they
shave themSelves-that razors must have
their seasons of rest in order to develop
their best edges 1t is not SO well known,
however, that the same principle is in a
sense law of physics. and that it APP
plies no less to such insensate things as
precious stones. That it does so apply is
vouched for by st. Louis jeweler, who
says:
Any one in the business will tell YOU
what a heavy loss a man may incur by
jewels in his safe OF showcase going off
in appearance, All the cleaning in the
world won't help Il en-, and all the time
they are getting to looli more and more
shabby, until at last they have no salable
value. If they are sent away to another
city they frequently brace up of their
own accord and come back looking bright
and lustrous.
Incredible as such statement may ap-
pear to many persons, there is ample
reason for the belief that it is matter of
personal experience, and one by no means
noted for the first time by those whose
business throws them into daily contact
with gems. But this curious fact has a
higher bearing and application than its
relation to physics. 1t is as true with
respect to the price! 'es jewel of human
health as of any other jewel Human
health needs a change of air and sur
roundings at certain intervals, or it will
fade and lose luster The lack luster eve
of the person who is not sick, but merely
run down, is the dulling of the Jewel.
Happy are they who are so circumstanced
that they can take day off, or a whole
week, to polish up their health against
the sands of the seashore, or even with
the pleasant attraction that comes of con-
tact with new natures and unfamiliar
scenes.

1t Hit the Married Couples.

There are lullabys for babies and waltzes
for young maidens; there are drinking
songs for the wild oat sewers and love
songs for them that love to tarry in the
cleaning. But | heard last Sunday the
one piece of music that twanged upon
the heartstrings of the married people.
Gilmore's band was playing "Reminis-
cences of Mendelssohn, and thousand
heads were wagging an accompaniment.
Suddenly, by way of finale the "Wed-
ding March" struck up. The effect was
electrical. All over the audience the
welded pairs looked at each other and
smiled tenderly. Itwas reminiscence.
What happy visions it called up!
Here was a couple, homely, raw, from
the country evidently, who had lust
started out to guide the plough together.
The march had been p yed for them in
the little village church not long ago, but
now they heard it played indeed.
They leaned little closer together, and
her big hand, fixed out to kill in cotton
mits, which showed the wedding ring,
sought his and held it.
And all through the audience | saw
signs of the pictures called up by that
fragrant and alluring bit of music. Old
couples and young, rich and poor, those
who live like cats and dogs together, and
those who have learned the pleasant al
chemy of forebearance in welded life,
all were for the moment bewitched.
Ia, ia, tara-rara, tum fiddle de dun de
di do. 1t fairly makes me reminiscent
myself, though they played Wagner at
my blessed wedding.-New York Herald.

PAPER IVIC. SILK IN IT.


L. 6. Notes Are Printed.
Anybody who w shes can 50 into the
biz Crane &: Co.'S factory at Dalton,
Nass, and see the workmen pIac' the
blue silk on the machine that makes th"
paper for all the United States no!'s.
Tn" silk comes in spools, and is made 10y
Bedding, of Northampton. 1t is sold
here in Bangor. There is no more secret
about it than there is about the water
flowing over the uam above the toll
b,idge.
The real secret is in the composition of
the paper The sill thread is secured 10y
patent. to be sure, 1t tie making of the
paper, the compoui of the ingredients,
is safe in the hea,. of j. Murray Crane,
who received the art from his father.
who made bonds for Salmon p. Chase,
Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury,
away back in war times.
The pure linen pulp is in big room,
looking for all the world like any linen
pulp. Then comes }. Murray Crane with
gripsack. He and the grip" enter the
room together, and it is presumed that
he locks the door, + the door is locked
on the inside, and the grip" does not
look able to do it.
They are closeted a half an hour.
When they come 1t the pulp goes to the
paper machine, an Mr.. Crane and the
grip go home. But the pulp is changed
by that visit and Nobody has been able
to penetrate the Crane secret The COM
pany gets about 80 times as much for
that paper as for other linen paper made

Punctuality is, perhaps, characteris-
tic American trait, At all events, Ameri-
can tourists abroad are given to bewail-
ing the dilatory ways of other peoples.
How early this characteristic is sometimes
developed-in connection, too, with the
American habit of traveling--is pleas
antly illustrated in little story printed
in Golden Days.
A small, rosy checked girl picked up
her doll and her dolls trunk and trudged
a mile or more over frosty roads until she
boarded the first train that came along,
and contentedly settled herself and her
doll into vacant seat.
BY and by the conductor appeared. He
looked down at the little woman, who
was pointing out flying trees and other
objects of interest to her travelling COM
panion, the doll.
Where are you going, little one"
asked the big man with bu tons.
why, I'm going to the Worlds Fair,
OF course.
The conductor coughed
Aren't you rather early ?" he asked.
81 don't believe the doors are open yet. -
Dear me-" said the child in arm,
"what shall do?"
Perhaps you had better go home and
ask your mother" suggested the con-
Guctor.
And she did. She was loaded with
pretty things by interested fellow passen-
gers, and returned to her motherin safety.
We may reasonably expect that she will
be among the first visitors when the
Worlds Fair opens its doors to the world.

II CnmcS to me often in silence.
When the tirClight tiers low
When the black. unc. sin shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago;
Always with throb of heartache
That thrills each pulsive vein,
Comes the old, unquiet longing,
For the peace of home again.
I'm sick of the roar of cities,
And of faces cold and strange:
know where there's warmth of welcome
And my yearning fancies range
Back to the dear old homestead.
With an aching sense of pain,
But therell be joy in the coming,
When go home again.
When go home again! There's music
That never may die away
And it seems the hands of angels.
On mystic harp, at play,
Have touched with yearning sadness
On a beautiful, broken strain.
To which is my fond heart wording
When go home again.
Outside of my darkenng window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting, drifting in.
Sobbing, the night wind murmurs
To the splash of the autumn rain;
But dream of the glorious greeting
When go home again.

Twelve miles north of Norwich, Conn.
is one of the most wonderful lily por e.,
in all America. 1t is lake one milo !;
diameter, so closely grown with lilies tha
during blossornng time it is hard to get
glimpse of the water. When the win
is strong and the lilies are open the per-
fume of them is perceptible a quarter of
a mile from the brink of the pond. So
thick are the lilies and in such tangled
masses that it is almost impossible to
propel boat in the pond, and the lily
gatherers have to wade for them in hip
rubber boots. Not only are the lilies ex-
Lraordinarily plentiful but the blossoms
are more regal, perfect, lustrous, and of
deeper hue than in other ponds.

Zone System in Ireland.

The zone system of passenger fares,
which started in Hungary, and has also
been successfully applied in Austria, has
been adopted by the Cork, Blackrock and
Passage Railway Company, in Ireland,
for service between Cork and Crosshaven
and Afghada, two popular pleasure re-
sorts in the harbor. Instead of $50 kinds
of tickets formerly required there are
now only eight, and the new rates of fare
are about 80 per cent lower than the
former tariff.
