A curious fish was caught in a lobster
pot at MAR Point, Brunswick, one day
last week. 1t was about the size of an or
binary sculpin which il somewhat resembled.
It's abdomen was inflated until it looked
like pouter pigeon. Prof Lee of Bow
loin College examined it and pronounced it
to be a sea robin, 4 deep sea fish. He said
that the swelling was caused BY clam or
founder and the robin was cut open. Ont
fell a live founder. The robin was eleven
inches long and four wide, while the tloun-
der was nine inches long and three inches
wide. Ii must have been rather close
quarters for the founder but he stood it well.

Bath Times The most ciyilizing insti-
tuition we have in America today is the
home. If that home is your own il will do
more to pull you away from temptation than
four hundred sermons. We have the Y. NJ
C.. 4. and kindred institutions to look
after those boys who are so unfortunate as
to be without the pale of home influences.
But every man in Bath earning $40 a week
or more can have home of his own. How
can he get it? Through the Loan and Build
ing Association. Begin by putting your
cigar ami skirt dancer money in every
month. You won't miss it and you will
have something to begin on when you get
married. II beats any endowment assess
ment order we know of. Ii Is engineered

is practically the only way a good many of
us coul ever get a homo of our own.

Four kennebuBkport fishermen recently
caught 10 one afternoon and night five thou
sand fish, cod and hake, the lot weighing
in number a total of 20 600 pounds. Some
of the fish were monsters the average being
four pounds each. 1t was the largest catch
known in that section for years.
Some people when they think they are
imposed on satisfy themselves by scolding
others. Not of this kind is Mrs. Bridget
Maley of Portland. She lives at
the lower end of Summer street. a place
that the present city government has Sc
lected as place for dumping rubbish. The
other day Mrs Msiey decided that patience
had ceased to be a virtue. and when one Of
the city teams appeared with load of rub
Dish she advanced TO the scene too. The
conliiet was sharp and brief, and when il
ended the city team was moving off with the
rubbish, and Mrs. Maley was master of the
field.
