Sad Case of Destitution in winslow.
Especial to the Press.

WATERvILLE, February S.-One OF
the most pitiful sights witnessed in a
well-to-do community was that brought
to the notice of the Winslow board of
health Friday of the past week. 1T was
at the home of D. B. McNab, an English
pensioner 81 years of age. He is also as
sisted by the Friends, of which society
he is member. The benefits derived
from both sources would support the old
man and his family did they use it prop
erly. But much of the income has been
squandered, leaving the old man sick
and destitute. His case is attracting
Ynucb sympathy.

elegancies of life, by the Moors of Spain.

dral of Bayeux, and now preserved in

executed by fair and royal hands"

Paper a Hundred Years Hence.

Experts are predicting that the books
of today will fall to pieces before the
middle of the next century. The paper
three centuries was made by hand of
honest rags and without the aid of
strong chemicals, while the ink was
made of nutgalls. Today much Of the
paper for books is made, at least in part,
of wood pulp treated with powerful
acids, while the ink is a compound of
various. substances naturally at war
with the fimsy paper upon which it is
laid. The printing of two centuries ago
has improved with age; that of today, it
is feared, will within fifty years have
eaten it's way through the pages upon
which it is impressed.--Paper World.

FOOD FOR MILLIONS.
The Annual Herald Going to All East
ern Libraries.

The HERALD is collecting a list OF
every public library and reading room
in the United States. to which the re-
cent superb illustrated annual will be
mailed and kept on file during the pres
ent year. This is being done upon the
suggestion of several citizens of South
ern California who have the interests of
the community at heart. 1t is believed
by them that no better method could be
adopted to keep this community in
prominence. Every section of the
country from Maine to Washington and
Arizona to Florida will receive it's quota
of the ANIMALS, thereby enabling hun.
dreds of thousands to read of the bene-
fits OF our resources and climate who
would in no other manner be able to do
so. No stone that will be of public
benefit will be left unturned by the
HERALD. The business men are q unit
in their expressions of admiration of the
enterprise and are lending their assist
ance and cooperation cheerfully.

A Clever Collie.

T. Sidney Cooper, the English animal
painter, says that he often MADE valua-
BILE studies in Cumberland at places
where Scotch drovers halted with their
cattle for the night On such occasions
he often had a chance to see illustrations
of an animals intelligence as well as Of
its physical perfection.
One day when there was pouring
rain y man consented to sit for me at the
inn where was staying. He brought
his collie with him and both of them
were dripping wet, so he put off his
plaid and laid it on the floor by the dog
made q very successful sketch Of the
man, but before had finished it the
dog grew fidgety with the wet plaid,
and his master said, ''Tak' it AVA mon;
tax it awa'r'
The dog took the end Of it between
his teeth and dragged it out of the room.
After had finished the drover's por-
trait asked him if he Thought his dog
would lie quiet for time, as I wished
to sketch him.
"Oh, yes, mon," he answered, "he'll
do anything say to him. Watch!
Watch!' he called, and then "whustled'
for him, as the Scotch say.
AS the dog did not appear we went TO-
gether to look for him. and found him
sitting before the kitchen fire with the
end of the plaid in his mouth, holding it
up to dry. I expressed my admiration
of his intelligence, and the master re-
piled:
"Ah, he's a canny creature, sir! He
knows mony things. loes that dog, sir.
But come AVA, mon: the gentleman
wants to max your picture"
So we returned to my room, and the
handsome collie sat for his portrait

Lighthouse Lamps and Lenses.

In lighthouses there are six orders of
lights, graded according to their inten-
sity. The lamp of the lowest or sixth
order, which consumes only half gill
of coal oil an hour, gives about as much
light as an ordinary parlor reading
lamp (say 10 candle power), while the
largest or first order lamp, which burns
sixteen gills an hour, gives $50 candle
power of light. But while the naked
flame of the lamp gives this much light,
the French Fresnel lens in which the
lamp is set condenses and concentrates
this light. SO that it is multiplied in
power many times. Thus the little 12
candle power fame Of the sixth order
lamp has in lens power of rs candles;
and the great 450 candle power light of
the first order lamp, when placed in its
enormous lens, gives power of some
$4,000 candles. Such a lens is 10 feet
high and has a diameter of feet

John Lazzarevich, one of the oldest
residents OF the city, passed away from
this life at 9:15 last evening, after
lingering illness of over six months.
Mr.. Lazzarevich was born Austria in

He came around the horn in a sailing
vessel and arrived in Los Angeles in

in 1872, and opened real estate and
brokerage Office, of which he was at the

A Professional Housecleaner.

A woman in this city has certain
number of customers, all Of whom are
persons of wealth and willing to pay her
well. She goes to the house of each
customer at stated periods and removes
all the furniture. curtains and pictures
from the drawing rooms. She then di-
rects the cleaning of the rooms and the
furniture, taking care that the latter is
not scratched or injured in the handling,
and that all blemishes are removed by
careful oiling. All the furnishings are
then replaced according to her ideas. As
she has excellent taste, she manages to
create good impression each time, but
never duplicates a setting. She suggests
the removal of unnecessary pieces or the
addition of odd bits that will fill out her
plan, and keeps the customer informed
in regard to the changes of styles. s.-New

FROM GUATEMALA.
The Return Yesterday of J. I
Burns

ne Return yesterday OF J. j..
Burns.
J. T. Burne, the owner of the Hotel
Ramona, returned yesterday from a
long stay in the South American repnb-
lies, and is full of interesting stories Of
that country. On being approached by
a reporter Mr.. Burns was at first very
reticent on his excursion, but soon
warmed up to the conversation and
gave some valuable information as to
the advantages to be derived by good
American money and energy in the
south continent
Mr. Burns landed at Guatemala the
day that General Enriquez was killed,
and from his story an entirely different
light is thrown upon the subject. There
had been an election that day and
there was riot in the district OF which
General Enriquez had charge. General
Barrillas ordered Enriquez to appear,
but, instead, he attempted to escape.
Barrillas sent out 1000 soldiers to cap
ture the fleeing general, and in the at
tempt to bring him to Guatemala dis.
pute arose, in which he was killed.
The present president is very favor
able to the Americans and the Ameri-
can government, and has done every
thing in his power to further American
immigration. The entire country is yet
undeveloped and in very crude state,
but lately big progress has been made
in the coffee plantations.
The government has been trying to
induce some syndicate to build rail-
road from L;nvingstone to the Atlantic
coast, and cnly three and half days
from New Orleans to Guatemala, max
ing it direct route into the heart of the
republic. The hotel accommodations
for travellers are very poor, and
Mr.. Burns is thinking very seriously
of starting a mammoth establishment
down there. The climate is pleasant in
and around Guatemala, but on the
coast it becomes very warm and damp.
Potatoes in the city OF Guatemala are
considered a luxury, and are being
bought for So per box. Mr.. Burns in
tends to enter into extensive operations
in the South American republics in the
cultivation of coffee and sugar planta-
tions, and will ship the products direct
ly into California.

From an elevator point of view the
new Masonic temple building in Chicago
will be the most important in the world.
1t will have twenty-four cars built in a
circular shaft having $50 foot rise.
There will be express elevators, way and
freight trains. The first will go to the
top floor without stopping, while the
others will stop either at every floor, or
at the fifth, tenth, fifteenth and SO on.
They will not run at full speed, prob
ably because passengers do not like the

Ailments of the Ewes.

No organ of the body is liable to a
greater variety of ailments than the eye
More than forty such diseases are emu
merated in medical works.
Some of these tend toward blindness
partial or complete. Some are highly
contagious. Some are peculiar to the
earliest stages of infancy; some to old
age. Some are due to other diseases:
some originate with the eye itself; some
are the result of external wounds. Some
are brought on by the improper use of
the eye; some by the abuse of other Or
gans. Some are partially or wholly
durable: others are not.
AS we have two eyes, the loss of one
does not materially affect the other.
The double provision is wise and be-
nevolent one in the case Of an organ ex-
posed to SO many accidents from with
out and so many diseases from within
