A Splendid Stewardship.

Thirty two years ago the Republican party
country. 1t may almost be said 10 have
had control of our government ever since it
has had any existence as political organiza-
ton. When il came to the direction of our
national affairs they were in deplorable
and critical condition. The integrity of the
Union was imperilled, and armed treason
walked arrogantly abroad in the land
Next March for the second time since it
attained its ascendeney in the nation the
Republican party will temporarily give
place To the Democracy. In doing so it
will hand over to them the government of
powerful and united nation, it will give into
their hands the direction of the affairs of a
country enjoying the greatest measure of
prosperity known to any people upon the
face of the earth. What splendid account
of so long stewardship. Peace at home
and abroad: u national currency every
dollar of which is rs good as gold the finest
banking system in the world, and meterial
prosperity unknown to any other nation on
the earth Can rs much he said after four
wears OF Democratic rule. We certainly

ing after election the Democratic party
has never been able to rise to anything APP
preaching constructive craftsmanship. We

come Is destined to prove an exception TO

II IS the Maine Man" Again.

II was a Maine man who founded the
thriving village of Floral Park, Long
Island, one of the most beautiful of the
suburbs of New York. Beginning in a
humble way as a scotsman and florist Mr..
John Lewis Chiids, formerly of Buekfield
and a native Of Jay, Me-, built up bust
ness in this line that grew into a town and
blossomed into hundreds of beautiful homes.
This weeks oxford Democrat prints Mr..
Child's picture and the story of his
life. Some idea of the magnitude
of his business may be gathered from the
fact that now he has 100 acres under cult
vation at Floral Park, besides large seed
gardens in Suffolk county, and other parts
of the country. There are four large
greenhouses, two seed stores, one larger
than the largest block in Oxford county
a steam printing establishment, 4Oxl25
feet, equipped with the best modern presses,
type, etc, an electric light plant, large
and weli-kept hotel. with thirty rooms, and
thirty cottages occupied by employees,
a handsome and spacious block
of stores. all of which were
erected by Mr.. Childs. In fact, be practi-
cally owns Floral Park. The seed business
is mainly done through a catalogue, 500, 900
copies of which were this season printed
and mailed to all parts of the world at an
expense of sli00oo. The yearly postage
for sending out the goods of this mammoth
establishment amounts to Sl50,oo0. There
are branch houses of Mr.. Childs' business
at London; Sidney, Australia; Auckland,
New Zealand; St. Catharines, Canada
and st. Johns, Newfoundland. The
running expenses of the establish
ment, including the wages of a
small army of employees. amount to $1,000
day. Mr.. Childs is not the man TO forget
his old Maine friends, and several of the
heads of his departments are natives of the
Pine Tree State. The achievements of Mr..
Childs have been accomplished in wonder
fully few years; he is now only 80, and he
started without a dollar

Local Museums.



Every rural town should possess library
haps housed together in single room--at
the start. But if well cared for, they are
certain to grow. In Massachusetts, the
state has appointed a library commission,
which serves without pay, to assist
country towns in starting libraries. a small
grant being offered for this purpose
from the state treasury in such towns
as make certain appropriation for a
library. The idea is worthy of adoption by
other states. and those Interested in secur-
ing legislation TO this effect can get fun par
ticulars upon application to member of
the commission. C. d. fiiiisg,iast, state h.
brarv. Boston, The museum should 60
hand in hand with the library. In it should
be placed not only natural objects exhibit
ing the botany, geology and animal life of
the vicinity, but everything of interest per-
tanning to the history of the locality. The
walls should be adorned with pictures Of
men and women of the neighborhood who
have achieved distinction,-of faithful pub
lie officials of town. county, state or nation.
Mementos of interest, especially those
possessing patriotic. sentimental or ele-
vating character, should be gathered into
the local museum. Let it be male place
where young and old may receive both rec
reaIion from present cares and inspiration for
future progress. Such an institution wopl /

Sanitary '0ont's
Evening Transcript.


Don't put any money in your mouth. 1t
is literally filthy lucre. A doctor who is in
the habit of disinfecting the money that
comes to her, calls 1t one of her charities.
Yet the coin or greenback that at best is far
from immaculate, and may be foul with
disease. is held between her lips by some
girl while she searches for Il nickel to pay
her car fare with, or struggles with her
bundles If she could see what il is she
has placed in her mouth she would be
cured of the habit once for all.
Don't eat any cheap candy. lnvestiga-
tons in dentistry show that decayed teeth
are the work of micro-organism that
breeds and flourishes in just that particular
acid which the disinfegration of sugar pro-
duces. In proportion as foods contain starch
and sugar are they likely to affect the teeth.
4 prominent dentist cites the case of
working confectioner, who, by the time he
reached middle life, had not tooth left.
Ills teeth were fragile to begin with, and he
had been living in an atmosphere most
favorable to their decay. Purchase and eat
only pure candies. and avoid the cheap can
dies for CONNECTIONS, of all else should be
pura.
Don't put your bare hand in the straps
furnished in street ears for the overflow of
passengers Turn one of these straps in
side out in any car not fresh from the shops
and the reason will be plain Handled as
they are by all sorts and conditions of men,
they are ready carriers of disease. The
abraded skin of your finger may tonch an
infected spot. or dangerous bacteria may be
transferred. at the next motion of the hand
to the delicate tissues of the mouth or eyes.
Don't use public drinking vessels.
Don't use the towels provided for general
use in public lavatories, mems restaurants
and sometimes i'll schools. A specialist
in diseases of the eye at Buffalo
Investigated the towels furnished
for the use of pupils in the public
schools of that city, with view to discov-
ering how far they might be a source of
contagion. A square foot of towelling
which had had moderate use was found to
contain from thirty-five TO fifty million
bacteria. They included the bacteria of
several contagious diseases and among
them those of a serious affection of the
eyes. 1t is not generally known that blind
ness is increasing in this country four times
as fast as the population, and that the in
crease is due largely to ii contagious disease
of the eyes which is spread by just such
means.
Simple precautions, such as these, may
be the means of averting serious disease.

Close Up the Ranks.

IL cannot be denied that there were many
intense jealoasies and an'agouisms in the
Republican party. the inevitable outgrowths
of a long continued lease of power, that
contributed powerfully to the defeat of last
Tuesday. This is weakness that domi-
nant party always has TO contend with. snsi
one that. in the course of years, becomes
very serious. There were very many sore
heads besides Wayne Mcvesgh and Judge
Gresham who contributed their share to the
overthrow of the Republican party las,
Tuesday. In fact for some years past they
have been acting a prominent part in
the ranks of the Democracy. The Republic
can party will be for the next four years
the minority party of the country. Those
who remain in its ranks will be the believers
in its principies-men who place conviction
above all considerations of personal gain.
The mercenaries and camp followers will lose
no time in join nS the enemy. But when they
arr all gone the Republican party will still
be large AMI powerful sufficiently so TO " in
