Belfast has one citizen who has always
prded himself on bis Judgment as regards
capacity, distance, etc, but last week his
pride had big fall. He ordered two dol
lars worth of charcoal and not having spare
barrels enough to hold it built a bin. Look
ing at the BIN he decided that that, too. was
insufficient and told the dealer that as the
bin was too small he should not be able to
take the whole amount then, but that
other lot later. The dealer on delivering
the coal found that the bin would hold over
fifty bushels. He didn't take the man at his
word and fill the hln, but fell back on the
original order.

A young man in this city lately took the
law into his own hands and thereby saved
to his father considerable value. The father
owns a farm in the suburbs and this year
raised a large and handsome lot of cabbages.
1t so happened that one day team loaded
with household goods of some mover passed
that way, and the owner thought he might
as well add a few cabbages to his stores A
halt was made and both he and the teamster
began to help themselves. The farmers son
came out and ordered the man to stop, and
also to give up the cabhages already in the
wagon The fellow did stop gathering but
refused to yield up what he had secured,
saying no one should take anything from
the team without a search warrant. The
Young farmer knew nothing about search
warrants and cared less. He gave that cab
bage stealer stunning blow which laid HIM
sprawling, and then turned his attention to
the Jeamster, who fled at once. The cab
hages We're all recovered.

Short Stories.

The following story is told OF one OF Bel
fast's old-time topers, in the days when
Everybody drank liquor" The topper was
getting rather low financially and otherwise,
and after exhausting all other devices one
day offered to pawn the family Bible for
liouor. The dealer being a Conscientious
man refused to take the security and gave
his would-be customer a good lecture on the
error of his ways and the sacrilege of pawn
ing the Bible for liquor. After listening pa
tiently to the words of the dealer the topper
Strengthened himself up and said: "Well,
Mr.--, if my word and the word of God
together are not good for glass of rum I'll
never drink another DROP And he was as
good as his word.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 6.-Hon. james
G. Blaine has not been at all well since
the death of his son, and some time
ago made the announcement that 1t
would be impossible for him to make
any political speeches this fall. This,
he said, was not because he did not de-
sire to do so, but because his health
would not permit.
In response to an urgent request
from many leading republicans he has
sent TO Hon. Joseph Ii. Manley, chair
man of the republican state committee
of Maine, letter in which he ex-
presses in his usual clear and compre-
hensive manner his views on the issues
involved in the coming campaign, as
follows:
"Not being able, for reasons which
have explained to you, to deliver public
speeches in this present campaign,
take the liberty of submitting my
views on the issues which / regard as
being strongest for the republicans to
urge before the people. The issue OF
the greatest consequence is the tariff
on imports and it will continue to be
until a settlement is effected by a ma
jority so large that it will be tanta-
mount to general acquiescence. The
republicans are aggressive on this sub
ject. Two years ago they passed the
Mckinley tariff, which for time failed
to meet with popular approval. But
powerful reaction has come in conse-
quence of the vindication of the Nc
Kinley tariff by experience. Ii is found
to have worked admirably, and within
the last year has produced greater
volume of business, internal and ex-
ternal, export and import, than the
United States ever transacted before.
Notwithstanding the extent of the OPP
position to IL, agriculture is remunera-
tive, manufactures are prosperous and
commerce is more flourishing than at
any previous time. Against the tariff
the democrat party has taken posi-
ton almost without parallel in the his
tory of the country They reject tho
doctrine of protection. pronounce IL q
fraud and anathematize IL generally.

The Growth of CRYSTALS Is.

Some crystals, it is believed, have had
their growth suspended during millions
of years, after which enormous lapse of
time the growth has been renewed. Such
a process would be impossible to animals
and plants, although some imaginative
story writers have treated their readers
to wonderful accounts of suspended ami
nation in man.
In one respect crystals possess a great
advantage over living beings like our
selves-they are able to renew their
youth! This is not because they have
discovered a counterpart of the marvel
Gus fountain that Ponce de Leon so vain
" searched for, but because the forces
of disqualification are able to renew their
action even after the greater part of a
crystal has been destroyed through age
or accident.-Youth's Companion.

Peculiar Roses.

One of the wars of the roses, the ferc-
est and deadliest of them all, was fought
on a field where, curiously enough, a
rose peculiar to the spot grows or used
to grow. 1t is rare plant now, and the
reason is explained by Mr.. Leadman in
his account of Yorkshire battles. After
describing the terrible battle at Towton
on Palm Sunday, 1861, he says: 81 can
not conclude this story of Towton field
without an allusion to the little dwarf
bushes peculiar to the Field of the
White Rose and the Fed
"They are said to have been plentiful
at the commencement of this century,
but the visitors have taken them away
in such numbers that they have become
rare. Such vandalism is simply shame
ful, for the plants are said to be unique
and unable to exist in any other soil.
The little roses are white, with a red
spot on the center of each of their petals,
and as they grow old the under surface
becomes a dull red color. London

When Wigs Were Popular.

Writers transmit TO us some curious
facts in regard to the demand and sup
ply of false hair when wigs were in
fashion. The trade in wigs, for France
supplied all the rest of Europe, became
immense, and was represented in Paris
by large number of wholesale mer-
chants, who employed cutters to operate
in the provinces, especially in Normandy,
Flanders and Holland, where the hair of
the women was finer. The hair of warm
countries was not wanted, because too
coarse. English women and girls did
not care to part with their hair, and
were not SO poor as to be forced to the
sacrifice. Some villages in Normandy
furnished rs much as ten pounds, aver
aging two feet in length.
The price was from four to five francs
a pound, and it was cut from the heads
of the living, from the heads of the
dead or sewed after combing, each kind
having its commercial name. The great
demand at last rendered the supply SC
scarce that horsehair had to be used in,
stead or in part.-Cincinnati CONNER

AMEND The CONSTITUTION.

The frequent quarrels arising in the
Assembly over the representation in the
lower branch OF the towns and cities
should be settled An amendment to the
Constitution permitting the General
Assembly to manage the matter should
be passed. The Constitution at present
permits the people to elect only seventy
two Representatives to the lower branch.
This Is what causes the trouble about the
reapportionment of representation in the
Assembly, fo- some towns grow and others
lose In population.
The Constitution should leave the num-
Der to the Assembly. Then all towns
could be satisfied.
