A Fine Improvement in EIkton

We announced some weeks ago in the
WING that Mr.. Levi o. Cameron our
we'll known local architect and builder
was engaged in preparing plans and
specifications for new store house to be
erected by Mr.. Frank P. Price OF this
town, on the lot purchased by him, and
located on the corner of Main and Bow
streets. Mr.. Cameron has completed his
drawings aud submitted them to Mr.
Price for his approval and on which esti-
mates will be made of the cost of the
building, Mr.. Price not yet having de-
cided whether or not he will erect the
building by contract. y glance at the
elevations aud plans of the contemplated
store house, shows building which wien
completed will not only be au ornament
to that section of the town, but possibly
the finest aud most cGmmOdiouS building
of its class in the county, and which we
believe will not be excelled on the penin-
sula 1t will have frontage Of thirty
eight feet on Main street aud a depth of
one hundred feet on Bow street, will be
constructed of red brick with ornamental
front finished in designs of the same
color aud material The entrance from
Main street will be through a vestibule
doorway, making an angle on the west
corner Of the front, with q double show
window facing on Bow street i'll the rear
of The building. For a depth OF fifty feet
the main floor will be unbroken, then
raising by easy stairs the floor of the
rear of the main room will be about four
feet above the level OF the front portion
of it. At the break OF the main floor,
stairs will lead to narrow gallery on
either side, which will be used for the
display of goods of different kinds,
fifteen foot ceiling giving ample elevation
for the main floor. The second floor will
consist of a single room the size of the
entire building to be devoted to the dis
play aud sale of carpets aud general
merchandise. An ample cellar under the
front half, and basement under the
rear portion will afford iine storage for
groceries and heavy merchandise. In the
rear of the building facing on Bow street
freight elevator will be located, extend
ing from the basement to the upper
stories, and at which stock will be re-
ceived and merchandise delivered. Two
furnaces will heat tue building, which in
all its appointments will be Que of the
largest and best equipped business houses
in the State.

PUNCTUALITY is an old fashioned
and unpopular virtue, and why?
1t should by right rank with
truth and charity and love
and peace, for the violation of
it causes much sin. A wealthy
Christian family always took their
luggage in small trunks when
travelling, for they said the lifting
of huge Saratogas made the poor
fellows swear and almost broke
their backs. How much swearing,
think you, las been caused by the
failure of somebody to keep an ap-
pointment? How much valuable
time losN- How much chatting of
the spirit and fretting of temper?
Many persons are -habitually
tardy. 1t is with them a habit,
and a very bad one. They may
not miss the time lost, but to those
whom they have kept waiting the
matter is serious. The consequence
is that it has become customary
to say, "appoint the hour ahead so
as to catch them at the right time"
You are asked to a reception from
five to seven, ana some other
people are expected from seven to
nine. You 60 at six, somebody
else at halfpast five, and so on,

your hostess. Why should it be
considered elegant to- keep people

own living?"

incident in the life of Capt. NJ, a
famous old navigator of Nantucket in
the days when Nantucket was still a

Capt. M had been round Cane
Horn more times than anyone dared
say, and in his later years set up as an
instructor of navigation at Nantucket,
where he was visited by many young
navigators and by some older ones who
wished to brush up their nautical
knowledge on some of the many points
where the captain was especially well
informed.
Capt. NJ was greatly liked BY his
1ellow-townsmen, but he had one grave
fault, which was only too common
among men of his generation. He was
given to the use of West India rum. At
intervals he disappeared from view.
