the plush mill, Messrs. Robbie, Atkinson,
Gerrish, Ackroyd, Tilton and P. M.

Cape Elizabeth to select site for the
mill. Accompanying them were Civil
Engineer Ilsley. of this city. and Mr..
George F. Drew, of the firm of Drew,
Baldwin 6 Co., mill architects, of New

decided to locate the mill on Mariner

run from the pond and fronting the harbor
on the point opposite Knightville. The
lot contains $4,000 feet, the gift of Mr..
Atkinson. The gentlemen were much
pleased with the site, which seemed to
embody all the advantages needed for a
manufacturing plant.

The Next state Fair.

Secretary Twitchell, of the Maine State
Fair, is fast getting things in readiness
for the next exhibition, and willlssue the
premium list before the middle of April.
The list of specials will please the exhib-
itors, for it viii be beyond anything ever
offered before. It is for these special fea-
lures he has been working, believing that
they will aid materially in completing the
Maine State Fair, and making it in fact as
well as name State exhibit. The COM
plete success last year gives courage to
every official. and from this time to the
10th of September the ball will be kept
rolling, the one purpose being to score
greater victory for the State Society,
and more complete showing OF Maine
products than has yet been seen. Trustee
Hutchins of Auburn offers the follow
ing grand specials: For the best loaf
of wheat flour raised bread, made by any
farmers wife OF daughter, or anybody's
wife OF daughter resident of Maine,
the following four premiums:. $40
to first, S. to second, So to third, and
So to fourth best. Mr.. Hutchins has
also sent the following special horse pre-
miums: $50 for any son or daughter OF
his brood mare, Carrier Pigeon that shall
obtain at the State Fair record of 2.3O
or better, and $50 additional if 2.25 is
beaten. Futurity special premiums:
$25 for the best colt or lilly by his young
stallion Sidnut, to be shown at the State
Fair in 1898; and $3.50 to any of his get
that shall win the yearling colt stakes in
1894, and $3.50 additional if the State
record is beaten and held for 1894. The
full list will very soon be published.

QUEER LoBsTERs.
Mr.. Mcdonald Has Blue One and Others
Are Red and White. :

Visitors to Portland Pier who hap
pened to drop into the lobster house Oh
Mr.. Lewis Mcdonald, were favored with
view of bright blue lobster. This
lobster was caught off Cape Elizabeth by
a Peaks Island fisherman, and yester-
day was still alive. The color was de-
cidedly different from the green OF the
ordinary lobster. On the back the blue
was of that deep variety that belongs to
indigo, and towards the extremities and
under parts shaded off to tainted but
still unmistakable tint, and thence into a
pure white. The under part of one OF
the claws is almost pure white. The
lobster is about II inches long. One
claw is full size, while the other is very
small 1t is said that one other blue
lobster has been caught off the Cape
this season. MI. Mcdonald thinks of pre-
serving the specimen in alcohol.
He has also pure white lobster caught
about five years ago and preserved in
alcohol. Mr.. Mcdonald thinks it is the
only pure white lobster ever caught.
Some of those who viewed the blue
lobster recalled other queer Holsters that
have been seen in Portland. Not long
ago MI. w. S. Trefethen had lobster
that was half green and half red. A
straight, perfectly distinct line ran from
head to tail along the back of the
crustacean. Upon one side of the line
the color was vivid green; and upon
the other a bright red. The lobster was
sent to Professor Spencer Baird, and is
now in the Smithsonian collection. Prof.
Baird said it was freak of nature.

fort will be made to raise this sum the
present week, and the directors are con-
fident that the whole sum will be pledged

as to the possibilities of the fastest track
in the world upon this site, having beer
received there with eager enthusiasm,
and many of the most prominent breed
ers throughout New England are expect
ing great things of the Maine mile track
on Scarboro SOIL,
The directors expect to have the track
built by July next when it will be opened
with grand trotting events.
The meeting adjourned to meet again

replied that the main object was to raise
some money. At ten minutes past eight
the Mayor sent to the police station for an
officer, who in due time reported at the
government rooms for duty. He was
then given list Of absent members of
the council and ordered to bring them in.
But few minutes later, however, Alder
man Hines dropped in and before the
councilmen knew what was up the Mayor
had decided that there wouldn't be a
quorum and that it was no use to wait.
It was then twenty minutes past eight.

LUXURIOUS BATHING.


Noted Beauties Who Have INDUCED In
prodigalzty Unknown at Present.
ga thousand years without baths"
writes historian of the middle ages,
and then goes on to state that in the
reign of Henry ". the use of the bath
was SO uncommon that q nobleman of
the time, who CHANGED to be of won
dering turn of mind, asked friend why
it was that people in aristocratic So
ciety were accustomed to wash their
hands and not their feet.
Still it would seem to be fact that
while our ancestors on the male side
were more than careless in the matter
of bodily cleanliness, the women of
olden times fully appreciated the i'm
portant role which water plays in as
suring us sana mems in corpore sano.
Some Of the famous beauties of by-gone
generations enjoyed baths Of such lux
ury as would be scarcely known by the
wives and daughters of modern mil
ionaires.
Isabeau de Bavier, wishing to ini-
tate the wife OF Nero, used to have her
porphyry bath tub filled with asses
milk or with the juice of crushed straw
berries.
Anne Boleyn was not only accus-
toned to take baths, but used as a
special mark of her favor to allow some
favorite nobleman to pledge her health
in glass Of water taken from the tub.
Diane de Poitiers used to plunge into
bath of rain water every morning.
Marie Zetwertynoska, the friend OF
Alexander I. of Russia, never bathed
except in tub filed with Malaga wine,
which was afterward rebottled and sold
at much higher price to people who
knew perfectly well the use to which ii
had been put.
Marie Antoinette, in addition to the
mi bains which she took in the demi-
baignoir named after her, used to take
what she called her great baths in de-
,coction Of wild thyme, laurel leaves,
sweet narjoram and little salt.-Chi-
