Pursuant to a call Of the Governor, the State Board of Agriculture met
at 8 o'clock P. NJ, Wednesday, March 2, in the executive Office to adopt
quarantine regulations.
The meeting was called to order by the President. All members
excepting !. H. Fubright and DR.. Jas. G. McCown responded to roll call.
Minutes of the last annual meeting were read and adopted.
On his request, J. Y. Fulbright was excused from the Agricultural
College Committee and the Hon. N. J. Colman was appointed chairman in
his stead.
The question of a n adequate agricultural display in Chicago IN 1898
occupied the attention of the Board.
Governor Francis considers the Board of Agriculture the exponent of
the agriculturAs of the State, and thinks the Board should have charge of
the agricultural exhibit in Chicago.
Governor Colman suggested that Commissioner Gwynn, of the Worlds
Fair Board, issue a circular stating just what is desired for exhibit, and
that he confer directly with the county courts of the several counties o. the
State relative to an appropriation of $3.50 to county agricultural societies
to aid in making an exhibit at county fairs, which might then be secured
by the Worlds Fair Commission for exhibition at the Columbian Exposition.
Governor Francis maintained that Commissioner Gwynn should work
through the Board of Agriculture, and urged that what al most desired
was to rouse the interest of the whole people, and be considered the
county court premium appropriation one of the best means of accomplish
ing this end.
Mesrs. Leonard & Ely advocated the appropriation plan. and B. O.
CoWan said: " Rcounty courts will make an appropriation for the best county
exhibit it will then be easy for experts to make a collection for the Column
ban Exposition" He considers this the means of arousing much popular
enthusiasm which will result in a grand exhibit. He expressed the onn-
ion that things of this nature must be by personal effort, and suggested
that the members of the Board of Agriculture be charged with max
ing a personal appeal to county courts in their respective districts.
Judge Emerson stated that the application for this appropriation from
county courts must come from county fair associations and favored the
Board of Agriculture passing a resolution asking the county courts to grant
the appropriation when application is made by the county agricultural
societies.
Governor Francis offered the following resolution which was adopted
unanimously:
Resdued, That the State Board of Agriculture recommend that in
accordance with section 32 Of the Revised Statutes, 1889, county courts
tual society OF the county: Provided, that the exhibitors receiving the
county premiums thus provided shall place the prize products at the dis
posal of the Worlds Fair Commission to be included in the county exhibit
from Missouri to the Columbian Exposition in 1898.
1t was also the expressed opinion of the Board that SO, 900 should be
set aside by the Worlds Fair Commission to make n agricultural exhibit
worthy of Missouri.

distribution to the farmers of the different counties; also a cloth-oonnd
copy to each of the correspondents of the Board. Probably all these have
been sent out ere this. Should a correspondent fail to receive his cloth
bound copy W will be obliged if he will report the fact to this office. A
large number of individual requests for copies have been received, and they
will be complied with IS soon as a supply can be had. 1t is requested,
however, that, 80 far Is possible, those who wish copies will get them from
the county clerk or member Of the assembly. The funds available for
postage on single copies is quite limited.

The Face of a Clock.

An excellent way to test mans pow
ers Of observation is to ask him to draw
the dial of a clock. Most persons set
down " for four, instead Of the four
straight lines usual on dials, and few
remember that all the letters of the dial
stand with their bases toward the CEN
ter. It has been demonstrated that all
persons ordinarily read clock dial by
the position of the figures and disregard
the figures themselves.
One of the best known public dials in
provincial town has no mark save a
straight line at each of the places usually
occupied by the Roman numerals, and
the maker of the great clock of the
houses of parliament made another great
dial, upon which he indicated each hour
by single straight line. It has been
found, however, that while most persons
have no accurate knowledge of dials,
any marked departure from the usual
rule in the marking of watch faces or
house clocks is easily detected. A dial
bearing ~ instead of four straight lines
at once attracts attention. -London Tit

THE BAPTlsTs DINE.
Meeting of Western Maine Social Union
Last Evening.

Church music was the subject of con-
sideration after the regular monthly
dinner of the Western Maine Baptist So
cial Union at the Preble House last eve
ming. The attendance was large, the
churches of the city being fully repre-
sented. The first of the evening was
spent socially, until $50 o'clock, when
the dinner began.
After the dinner, President Percival
Bonney introduced Rev. DrewT. Wyman
of Lewiston who read very interest
ing paper on the relations of the hymn
book to church services. Mr.. Wyman
believes that few realize the ''mine of
wealth. contained in the collections of
hymns, which are in many respects
richer than any other collection of litera-
ture. Yet few study the hymn book,
few mediate over it. 1t is of little more
account than the book rack in the pew.
The richest food of the Kings table is
trodden under foot" MI. Wyman be-
lieves that the congregations should be
made to do more singing, that there
should be in churches enough interest in
music to secure weekly rehearsals OF
congregations. The choir leader should
also be held responsible equally with
the pastor for the harmonious and sue
cessful conduct of the service. Mr..
Wyman also thought that a good pre-
centor, with an accompaniment of
stringed instruments, would be the ideal
means of conducting the musical portion
of service, although he would not go SO
far as to advocate the abolition of choirs.
Miss Brown of the Free street choir,
next contributed greatly to the pleasure
of the evening by singing a solo, Miss
Bessie King accompanying upon the pi-
ano.
Mr.. G. Fred Morse read the poem
"When Bill Sung Tenor and Sung
Bass
Rev. Mr.. Moore of Kennebunk, and
Rev. Mr.. Ayres Of Portland, also made
remarks.

Bangor Citizens and the Railroad.

There was large mass meeting at
City Hall, Bangor, Thursday, to discuss
the advisability of accepting the propo-
sitlon of the Bangor & Aroostook Rail
road Company for the perpetual lease of
the city's railroad, the Bangor & Piscat-
aquis line. The meeting was petitioned
for by numerous taxpayers. Ex-Mayor
Lysander Strickland presided, and a
number of prominent citizens spoke
warmly on both sides, the opposition be-
ing particularly bitter.
The meeting developed the fact that
there is much opposition to leasing
the city's railroad on the terms proposed,
which are that for three years, while the
Aroostook road is being built, the city
be paid interest equal to the earnings Of
the road last year, and after that full in
terest on the bonded Indebtedness. This
would add large deficit for three years
to 60 into taxes.

ANpoyER, Mass, Dec, 2, 1891.

A. l.. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir-I would like to tell you of our ex
perience with your Liquid Food, for feel very
sure that in the mercy of God it saved my hus-
bands life. ..
Two years ago, my husband worn outwith ex-
cessive watching and anxiety by reason of
severe illness of mine, together with the
pressure of his duties as principal of high
school, broke down completely, nervous ex-
haustion, severe rhematism, amounting almost
to rheumatic fever, and complete arrangement
of the digestive system, so that he could not
keep milk on his stomach, or the simplest nour-
ishment, brought him down very low.
Our physician nearly in despair, tried one
thing after another, but all to no good. AT last
he hit on your Liquid Food; the effect was mag
icaI The very first dose made itself felt like
thrill of new life; his improvement was very
rapid, his appetite ravenous, and he gained flesh
very fast. His rheumatism, too, which had
troubled him exceedingly for several years, was
very much relieved, and, in short, he seemed
and felt like a new man. To all who knew him
and his former condition he was a walking
advertisement of Murdock's Liquid Food. Since
that time, when he becomes debiltated through
overwork or indigestion, a little of the Liquid
Food will soon set him right again.
Feeling that we both. owe you large debt of
gratitude. and this acknowledgement of the
benefit received, I am,
: Yours respectfully,
MRS. .PERCIVAL +. MARSTON,

IN MEMORY OF IRA F. CLARK.
Charitable Deeds Pleasantly Recalled at
the Gospel Mission.

One year ago yesterday the citizens of
Portland were informed of the death of
the late Ira F. Clark, in Boston. The
sad intelligence was shared in alike by
young and old, with feelings of mingled
sorrow and regret, for Mr.. Clark had for
many years proved himself the friend of
all classes and societies who work, or
come under the banner of charity in it's
highest and truest sense. As the ami
versary day of his death was approach
ing, Messrs. Redlon and Hannaford, his
successors in business, determined the
day should be fittingly observed, and af-
ter consultation with Rev. S. F. Pearson
of the Gospel Mission, it was decided to
give dinner and entertainment as near
ly to MI. Clark's tastes as possible, at
the Gospel Mission. Mr.. Pearson called
to his assistance a corps of 30 helpers,
and the arrangements were soon COM
pleted. AT 6 o'clock last evening every
thing was in readiness for the 300 guests
consisting of the Preble Chapel and Cos
pei Mission Sunday schools and the pri-
mary department of the Portland Fra
ternity. AS they marched into the hall
the Preble Chapel school, under the di-
rection of Superintendent Thompson,
the Gospel Mission of Mr.. Pearson, and
the Fraternity of a committee, many
were the expressions of delight that
came forth from the little ones as they
beheld the bountifully laden tables. At
ter all were seated, the company were
called to order and brief and appropri-
ate remarks were made by Messrs. Geo.
E. Thompson and Pearson, after which
praise God from whom all blessings
flow was sung by the guests, and the
divine blessing was invoked by the Rev.
Mr.. Phelan. The company were then in
vited to partake of the bountiful supper.
After an hour spent at the tables, the
following entertainment, which had been
arranged by Mrs. Pearson, was presented
and fully appreciated by the audience:
