The Schooner Yacht.

Although the .ohooner is generally
deemed a big yacht, it is nevertheless a
fact that small schooners are desirable
boats to have and that the number Of
schooners of small tonnage is increasing.
There is no denying the advantage of
the schooner's rig over that of the sloop.
4 schooner of forty feet is handler,
safer and less expensive to run than a
forty foot sloop. The rig Of the schooner
is peculiarly adapted 10 all weathers,
and small crew can handle such yes
sci with ease. when to manage a sloop
of equal size would require the best eff
forts of 'all hands and the cook" The
reason for this is that the schooner's
sails can be attended to one at a time.
which is not the case with the big main
sail sloop
Any yachter of experience can relate
tales of hard trials with sloop in rough
weather that would not have worried
schooners crew at all The waters Of
the eastern sound and of Boston harbor
have many of these little schooners, and
their owners get from them an amount
of comfort that can never be appreciated
save by one who has had experience
with both schooner and sloop.
Such yacht is cheap to build, cheap
to run, and very roomy, For men who
seek to yacht for pleasure comfort and
safety. the schooner and the yawl are
beS ond question ideal boats. If racing
be the desire of the yachting man, how
ever. the cat, jib and mansail, sloo2
and cutter rugged yachts are the boats
in which he should invest and sink his
cash F. w. Pangborn in Century.

Trained Cats.

have been cat fancier all my life,
and have had some of the most affec-
tionate and some of the cleverest cats
that ever adorned the domestic hearth of
man; but the Canterbury cats were
revelation. Fancy over a dozen sleek,
handsome pussy cats walking the tight
rope, blowing trumpet, holding up a
bottle between their paws and drinking
out Of it, jumping through hoops Of fire
and generally performing feats which
would make even Tom Jennings aero
bat take back seat and ask the Link
boy to go first with the light. I would
not have believed such q performance
as that gone through by Mr.. Leoni
Clarke's feline friends possible had not
seen it.

Little Josef Hoffman, and Master Otto
Hegner would be proud to acknowledge
them as brothers in art.
The entire show is a marvellous ex-
ample Of what can be done even with
the most unpromising animals by pa
thence and kindness. The climax is
reached when two cats, at a simple word
of command, go up onto a rope stretched
across the entire length Of the hall and
as high as the roof, and coolly walk
across it, pretending to fall in the mid
die and executing with most perfect ad
dress all the little tricks with which M.

BRuNsWIck's Ex-PosTMAsTER.
His Bondsmen Arc Called on to Make

BRUNSWICK, August 10.-There is con-
siderable of a sensation in this town
over the action of the United States post
office department in calling upon the
bondsmen Of ex-Postmaster William b.
Woodward to make up shortage of
about $1,000 in his accounts. MI. Wood

known fully how the shortage occurred.

due more to general incompetency than

The scientists, Debt to Franklin.


4 Benjamin Franklin was one of the
most earnest and tireless of scientists.
His discoveries are classed among the
most remarkable of the age. They were
as extensive and brilliant as they were
deep and mysterious. He outrsn the
most celebrated English electricians in
the race for new discoveries. He gave
form and dignity to the science of cleo
trioity, and raised the science to high
rank among the most useful and distin-
guished, and also gave it philosophic
standing second to none of the discover
les of the Eighteenth century. To Ben
iamin Franklin are due many of the
most useful discoveries in electricity.
His clear eyes of prophecy saw the glo-
rious triumph of his favorite science,
and somewhere he may be watching the
grand Examinations resulting from his
successful efforts In bottling a flash of
lightning. He was the first man to
succeed in imprisoning the mysterious
currents of electricity. York Tel

Nervous Exhaustion.


The ultimate nutrients Of the body,
whether of the muscles, membranes,
nerve or cerebral substances. are the
cells. These cells select the appropriate
nourishment from the blood, assinilate
it and throw off the debris-the poison
GUS waste, always fatal if unduly re-
tanned.
No other organ is so constantly in ac-
ton as the nervous system. It is never
fully at rest, day or night. The cells Of
every tissue must be kept necessarily at
work. Every thought, feeling, purpose,
volition, every excitement of pleasure,
pain or passion, all concentration Of
mind in study, business or care, uses up
brain substance and transforms it into
waste product.
In normal mental action this waste is
taken care Of and duly eliminated; but
in prolonged excessive mental activity
the waste accumulates, and, according
to DR.. Cowles, acts as a poison to tbs
nerves themselves, interfering with their
normal action.
An early result is simple fatigusaof
the brain, which rest may soon relieve;
at later stage, the overactiyity being
longer continued, there is excessive irri-
liability and weakness of the nervous
system. The tendency is always toward
grave mental disease, often merging
into insanity.
Among the physical signs are tremor
of the face, tongue and hands; but the
earliest and most important signs are
mental ptoms-melancholy and men
tai depression. The disease, to be easily
arrested, should be treated early

A very general demand has been mani
fest for one race where the best horses of
this State might, on this track, meet the
best of other States and show their
worth. This has led to the adding of
another free-for-all, to be known as No.
Ct, and to be trotted and paced on
Wednesday. The promise is made that
the great horses in the grand circuit, af-
ter finishing at Hartford the week before
and being at liberty that week, will come
here and contest for this, the largest
purse hung up on any track for these
days. 1t also affords an opportunity for
the speedy Bayard Wilkes 2.23, trial
2.154 to fight race at home, where
thousands will flock to the track to see
this wonderful PAGER. The conditions of
the race are that eight shall enter and six
start, which will insure a horse race
worth going miles to see. For the State
free-for-all, which is to be trotted on
Friday, there should be at least ten en-
tries, as there are fifteen horses now
owned in Maine, with records or trials as
good or better than the present State
record-2. Pa record made by Glenarm
several years ago.
