The Ouija Board.

The latest fad is the Ouija board (pro-
nounced weja,) or the fortune teller. 1t is
made on the same principle the plan
Ghetto board, and contains the letters Of the
alphabet. In one corner is the word "yeS y
and in another "no.'' In the other corners
are pictures of the moon and stars On this
board rests a smaller one of peculiar shape,
standing on four legs. The operator places
his or her hands on the smaller board which,
under the right influences will travel about.
presumably by electricity. Before opera
tions the board is rubbed down with silk
handkerchief When all is in readiness the
operator places his hands on the smaller
table, when questions are asked concerning
the one whose fortune is to be OWNED. 1t
is claimed that the board will correctly
spell out the name of your best girl or eel
lar" Consequently the ouija is in great de
mand among the young people. One in
operation at the Dana Sarsaparilla last week
absorbed so much attention as to nearly i'm
pede business. Woodcock Son had a
quantity which sold like hot cakes, and
more have been ordered. The factories can
not manufacture them fast enough. Great
is the ouija.

The mild wea ther of the present winter
they are already specuating in regard to the
crop on the Hudson river. A dispatch from
New York last week said: Reports from all
points up the Hudson at a late hour tonight
show that a steamboat could go through to
Albany without any trouble, though from
Rhinebeck northward, the river is full of
floating ice, but it is new, thin ice, not half an
inch thick, all Of it having been made during
Wednesdays snow storm. The river is
also full of "snow broth" Supernten-
dent Hamilton of the Knickerbocker lee
Company says that comparatively little ice
lies in the houses along the Hudson from last
year One of the Knickerbocker houses con-
tains 5000 tons, and another, north of SAUCER
ties, 10000, which is all the knickerbocker
Company has on hand, and that would not
amount to anything by way of supply in case
of ii failure of the harvest, but it would be
worth great sum. Last year at this time
5000 or 1000 men and boys We're cutting and
housing ice between Hudson and Albany
and had already housed one-quarter of the
crop.
As matter of fact the ponds and rivers of
Maine are barely frozen over, but there need
be no fear of an ice failure. Unless the next
three weeks give freezing weather on the
Hudson the ice crop on that river will prove
a failure, and Maine will have to furnish the
bulk of ice for next season $ consumption.
That will bring Il repet .tion of the season of
1880.
Later adyices are more encouraging for
the Hudson river ice-men. A New York
despatch of the 10th says:
The mercury fell to zero along the Hudson
this morning and has been between 20 and
and % degrees above during the day, with a
tendency to fall again tonight Much ice
was made in the river during the night Adj
vices from Kingston say: AS there was no
wind the entire surface of the river at this
point and above and below will be firmly
frozen by tomorrow morning. The ice men
are greatly encouraged at the prospect and
they hope for a vigorous prosecution OF the
great winter harvest at all points. The nu-
merous inland lakes and ponds, not too re-
mote from transportation facilities, have
now from six to eight inches of ice, but it
will not be gathered until the prospect of the
river crop becomes less promising than now.
A despatch of the 18th, from Augusta says
"The fields that We're in poor condition have
been broken up and Saturday night again
froze over so that if the cold weather con-
tinues good ice fields will be had for opera
tions in short time

celtion, the respondents could not he found
They had skipped the town.
This is not strange, and is in keeping with
the prosecution of the liquor law in Waldo
county The Grand Jury. who are sworn
I" secrecy in all matters coming before
them, have been guilty of a breach of faith
We do not condemn all of the Grand Jury
but there was one OF more leaky ones on he
panel, 1t was known from day to day; what
was done i'll the Grand J ury roum ana sev-
eral days before the jury reported IL was
currently and accurately known who We're
to he indicted. We know from good author
who We're to be indicted. Consequently the
indicted rumsellers knew of the matter and
left town long before the capiases were plac-
ed in the hands of the officers.
County Attorney Brown appeared to have
performed his duty. Constable Files was
on hand and gave him many witnesses
They We're all summoned The results,
however, are barren.
The Court instructed the sheriff that the
capiases We're good during the recess of the
court, and could be served whenever the
respondents showed themselves.
One officer said the position of the rum
business reminded him of his cat at home.
His wife fed the feline on beef and she had
no appetite for mice, but to keep up the de-
fusion would occasionally catch one After
playing with the mouse for a time and
knocking it from right to left, the cat would
drop the rodent and allow it to escape.
With the large number of criminal cases
on the docket not one came up for trial
Officers We're sent out for respondents in old
matters, only to find them ill in bed Three
such cases We're reported Monday fore
noon. No one for an instant believes these
men to be i'll; it is pretence to battle the
ends Of justice. Bondsmen for runaway
rumsellers are defaulted term after term,
but it is not on record where one was ever
made to pay the bail. Great is the fraud in
the prosecution of the rum traffic.

Our Contributors.

The Journal points with PRIDE to the
contributions in this issue. There is no
syndicate OF plate matter. Every article
was written for the journal. and in point
of merit they will speak for themselves.
A word or two as to the writers.
Mr.. Bourinot. whose clever sketch,
"Louisburg, 1891" appears on the sec
ond page. is one of the leading writer's
and lecturers in Canada: an authority ON
parliamentary law and upon Canadian

tor To the English quarterlie> and reviews.

Queens and 2 d. G. l.. of Trinity College.
Toronto and was recently admitted to the
order of St Michael and st. George. be
ing the third Canadian to achieve the
proud distinction ON account of literary
work. He is a member of many literary
statistical and historical societies. and we
esteem ourselves very fortunate in secur-
ing a contribution from SO busy a man.
The article next following, on the Per
lis Of Young Womanhood. is from the
able pen of Miss Frances J. Dyer of the
editorial staff of The Congree ationalist,
Boston. Miss Dyer is native of this
city, who has made a name for herself
with her pen, and in other fields of labor,
and we feel specially complimented that
she should have taken the time from her
manifold duties to prepare contribution
for the Journal The topic she has chosen
is timely and in treatment it leaves moth
ing to be desired. The article will bear
good fruit.
A $50 on the second page a Belfast lady
gives an interesting account of GA Visit
to the Workshop of Taxidermist.'
On the third page is an article by MI.
Charles W. Frederick, Of this city, on the
''Decadence Of Sailing Ships This is a
topic on which Mr.. Frederick is specially
well-informed, and his contribution will
be read with interest by ship-owner and
sea tarerS.
On the same page Mr.. A. |. Brown.
whose skiltul pen we are always glad to
enlist in our service, presents under the
caption of ''Travels About Home some
interesting geological speculations relat-
ING To- ii local field. Mr.. Brown is always
interesting and is particularly SO on his
present topic.
On the third page will also be found
some notes on Brooks village, 'Another
Tribute to Jack Morrill,. and Early News
paper Reductions.
On the seventh page is vigorous com
munication from Capt. john ". Kane on
compulsory pilotage. Capt. Kane has
written This Snhi."t before and L..
evidently enlisted for the war against the
pilot monopoly.
