THERE Is much to learn in the
science OF roadmaking on the subjects
OF location. workmanship mainte-
nance and legislation. The mere
enumeration OF these points is sutfi-
cient to show that good roads depend
upon technical skill quite as much us
railroads and bridges. They can
never be had by the aimless blowing
and scraping which the pathmaster
throughout the country orders every
spring. even though the work ex-
tended through the year.

In the NIenagerie.

Walk up, ladies and gentlemen, and
see our famous lion, Mustapha. He Is
as sensible as any human being. A
French sergeant once pulled out of his
foot thorn on which he had stepped.
What do you think the noble creature
did? 1t devoured, one by one, in order
of rank, all the superior officers of our
sergeant, until the latter found him
self promoted to the grade of colonel.
Walk in gentlemen; only penny.

The cause of the opal being deemed
an unlucky gem is probably due to the
nature of the stone itself. The irri-
descence of the opal is caused by in
Vulnerable minute cracks, which reflect
the light from a thousand surfaces and
so induce the play of color. 1t some
times happens that, from no known
reason, the cracks enlarge and the
stone splits into number of pieces.
A valuable opal has thus been known
to become utterly worthless in short
time, and of beautiful gem only q
thimbleful of fragments remains.
Such accidents as this have probably
given rise to the idea that the opal Is
unlucky to own, and the superstition
growing, the idea became fixed that
this gem brought misfortune to its
possessor. Louis Globe Democrat.

FRANKFORT. Again death has visited

tim Mrs. Winifred Hannigan aged 80 years.
Deceased had been living with her son,
Mr.. Martin Hannigan.. At the Republican
caucus, held Friday evening in the Office of
the Mt. Waldo Granite Works, Robert
Tyler, Albert Pierce, Robert Sprague and
John Clark We're elected to attend the class
caucus in Monroe, July 80. Abel kenney,
Albert Pierce and Robert Tyler We're elect
ed to attend the convention to be held at
Belfast. Aug. q. The Frankfort delegation
to Monroe heartily endorses the nomination
resentatve for this district. Mr.. Carleton
should lead his ticket in this town by long
odds. Mr.. James Eldridge's little girl, who
has scarlet fever, is improving. Herbert
Clark has the measles. A few days ago
Willard Clark 8 two year old bull took up
chasing the small children who went into
the pasture after the cows After becoming
50 violent that the children could not enter
his Lordship's domain the elder boys con
cluded to take hand in the fray, and arm
ing themselves with sticks and stones, they
charged his majesty, the bull. The activity
OF the bull was equal to his courage until an
extra heavy stone placed him hors de COM
bat by breaking hind leg short off. He
now abides in the beef barrel. Our people
are to have the privilege Of listening to
Rev. Norman LaMarsh next Monday even
ing in the Congregational Church. One
attractive feature Of the programme will
be the solos and as Mr.. LaMarsh has
wide reputation as singer as well as
lecturer all who attend may rest assured
that they will get more than their moneys
worth. Don't forget the date, Monday even

An Honorable Official Career.

Bohan p. Field, ESD, of Belfast, the eff
cient Register of Probate. wishes the Journal
to announce to the Republicans of Waldo
County, that he will not he a candidate at
tarily retireS. Mr.. Field is deeply sensible
of the many favors ne has received at the
hands of his fellow Republicans and heartily
acknowledges the same.
Mr.. Field has been Register Of Probate for
thirty -four years, doubtless a longer term
than any other living official i'll Maine. He
was first appointed Register in 1854, and was
appointed and elected at every election after
wards until 1850, when the Greenhac< craze
temporarily swept the Republican party
from power The late a A. Fletcher a
and served until 1854. The cyclone having
passed Mr.. Field was again elected and has
continued in Office until the present time.
Four of the judges who have been associat-
ed with Mr. Field during his long term
have died and he has reco ded their estates
Mr. Field says-and few public officials can
say it-that during his long term in office he
has never been absent from regular meet
ing of the Probate Court
Mr.. Field will serve out his term of office,
and will take into retirement the good wishes
not only of the members of his party, but of
the entire community.

Mr.. Tufts writes from London under date
of July 18th: yesterday Mr.. Hack and l

We stood before the gate half an hour in a
big crowd and in the rain, but got good seats.
We then went to Westminster Abbey. Stood
half an hour till the doors were opened at
two o'clock. This was one hour before the
service, but long before three O'clock came
the seats We're full, and all the aises We're
packed with people standing. We heard
Archdeacon Farrar Over 5000 people We're
present, but the Gear sweet, musical voice of
the great preacher was distinctly heard In
the evening ] heard the Dean of Windsor at
St. Paul's cathedral. l shall be in London
again on my return from Italy, and will then
listen to few more of the great preachers.
Tuesday was the first rainy day since we
reached the Old World. To-day is clear
again. Mr.. Hack left London this morning
for Oxford, and leave at this evening for
Amsterdam. Will go through Holland and
then to Belgium"

Prof. H. Darlington Bolton in s'Histo-
lical Notes on the Gold-cure' popular
Science Monthly for August shows that
the use OF gold as a medicine is not so
novel as commonly thought: that iii fact,
it dates back several centuries. He says
that in the notes OF Caspar Neumann a
passage occurs that expresses SO clearly
the present views of many that it is hard
to realize that it was written nearly one
hundred and fifty years ago. Neumann
writes:
Gold has been imagined to be possessed
of extraordinary medicinal virtues, and
many preparations. digni:ied with the
name of this precious metal. have been
imposed upon the public; but the merits as
cribed to gold have apparently no other
foundation than credulity and superstition,
and most of the golden medicines have no
gold in them. Even when gold has been
employed in the preparation there is sell
dom any of it retained in the product.

The Order of the Iron Hall, an endow-
ment and benefit order, is in trouble, and
is claimed to be insolvent. 1t is also
charged that the founder and vice presi-
dent, F. E. Somerby, Of Philadelphia, has
misappropriated large sums. There is no
branch in this city, but there are num-
Der in the State. The insurance commits
sioner Of Maine barred the order out at
first, but the legislature was finally pre-
vailed upon to let it in. The officers of
the order, both national and local, declare
that it is all right, and that the present
movement is scheme Of its enemies.
The Boston Journal says:
When the Iron Hall falls the king pin
is knocked out of the endowment orders
in this country. Plenty of people are now
saying. 81 told you So" but it is not so
much time for taunts as for pity for the
victims, who, if reports are true, number
more than go, 900, about sixth of whom
reside within this State.
