most appropriate title Of novel and
attractive brochure issued by the passen-
ger department of the Maine Central
Railroad. The book of "a pages, is in
the form of the familiar geographical
outlines of the state, colored map OF
which embelishes the front page of the
cover. The text sets forth the beauties
AMI advantages of Maine as summer
playground for all America, describes
briefly the more noted inland and coast
resorts with the means of reaching them,
and the pages are illustrated with charm

Not Bread Alone.

was written thousands of years ago. In
view of the fact that we will give you
25lbs of rice for one dollar and have "A
supply of those nice raisins at 3 lbs for
a quarter, will it not be wise to ask our
selves If we have not given too much at
tenton to bread and too little to rice
pudding and milk We wildly recall the
bowls of rice and milk, and the rice
pudding inlaid with plums and served
with sauce such as our mothers only
could make with which we RECALLED our
selves in our boyhood. To those bowls
of rice and milk, those buildings stuffed
with plums, the world is indebted for our
brilliancy and smartness.
To our minds it is perfectly clear that
such men as Geo. Washington, Gladstone,
Abraham Lincoln, j. G. Blaine and
others of our noted men were brought up
on rice diet. In these times when great
and good men are so scarce let us use
more rice and milk We have the kind
that makes just such men.

Hilton--Jewett.

Wedding bells are heard frequently in
the bright month of May. They rung
out above the residence of David .Jewett,
North Madison, on Monday forenoon
last, on the occasion OF the marriage of
his daughter, Miss Alice b. to Harry NJ.
Hilton, the we'll known express messen-
ger of Skowhegan. The faires' skies
were given for the delightful event.
The floral decorations were very taste
full. The ceremony, In which the ring
was used, was performed by Rev. c. V.
Hanson. Those present were the mem
bers of the family, Mr.. and Mrs. Jonah
Spaulding of Madison, Everett w. Blais-
dell of Great Falls, n. IL. After the
marriage the happy couple drove to
town, where an excellent wedding dinner
was served at the residence of Mark II.
Hilton, father of the bridegroom. Both
of these young friends are widely known
aud esteemed in this place. The bride
was for some time member of the class
of 81, in our High School. They left on
the afternoon train. They will spend a
few weeks at Upper Bartlett, \. Land
then make their home in Lancaster. the
pleasant shire town of Coos County.
They have the congratulations of their
many friends, and their best wishes for
their prosperity.

f. w. McFadden Dead.

Elhanon w. McFadden, prominent
citizen of Fairfield, died. at his home
Monday forenoon the 22nd, at the aid
vanced age of II years. For more than
40 years he has been one of the active
business men of the town, and has al
ways been considered a just and upright
business man.
Mr.. McFadden was born in Embden,
Me-, March %, 1916. During his boy
hood days he acquired au education
which enabled him to teach school,
which vocation he followed many years.
In 1912 he went South, where he also
taught about two years, then returned
to Maine. In lS47 he came to Fairfield,
and was at first hotel proprietor, then in
trade and postmaster, and later returned
to his former employment as teacher.
In 1860 he was admitted to the bar and
has practised law ever since, and at the
time of his death was probably the old
est in years of any member of the Som
erset bar
Mr.. McFadden has always identified
himself with the Democratic party, but
never dabbled in politics, not caring for
public office. He has always been a
prominent Mason, at one time eminent
commander of Maine Commandery No.
/, and was one of the charter members
of st. Omar Commandery, Knights Tenn
plar of Waterville.

The Grand Army and Pensions.

Commander Joseph p. Cleary of the
State Department of the Grand Army of
the Republic, has issued an order dis
banding Noah l.. Farnham post of New
York City, which has a membership of
252 persons, for violation of the rules
of the organization, in circulating among
G. A. X. posts and parading before the
public, resolutions criticizng the pension
department in contravention to rules of
the order, and hostile to it's principles
This post after deliberately violating the
rules and regulations which are the fun
damental law of the order, was brought
before the council of administration and
given an opportunity to purge itself of
contempt, but refused to do so. 1t is
therefore proper that it has been declar-
ed outside of the order, and prohibited
from further participation in its councils.
The position of the Grand Army on
the pension issue Is set forth in the fol
lowing resolve:
Resolved, By this council of admins
tration, representing the membership of
the Grand Army Of the Republic of the
Department of New York, and knowing
that we bespeak the feelings and the sem
timents of the great body of ex-UniOn
soldiers of the late war, that we welcome
the most rigid scrutiny of the pension
roll, and If there are the names of frauds
appearing thereon, that the same shall
be stricken off, believing that grateful
and patriotic people cheerfully concede
that all ex-Union soldiers, who In their
declining years are suffering from
wounds or disease, the result of expos
ure and the vicissitudes of a soldiers
life, shall receive proper recognition
from nation preserved by their valor.

Celery and Late Cabbage.

1t is easy for any farmer to grow both
cabbage and celery for late crop in the
open air. The early spring planting has
to be started in hot-bed, but for late
crop the only advantage the hot-bed gives
is in furnishing richer seed bed than can
usually be obtained early in the spring.
After making the seed bed as rich as pos
sible with what rotten manure can be
worked into the soil it will still pay to
add nitrate of soda. Both cabbage and
celery are gross feeders, and success in
planting either depends on getting the
most vigorous early growth possible
Late in the season, when the larger part
of their growth is made, all rich soils have
large supply of nitrogen in form avail
able for the roots to use.

Commander Mack of the G. A. K. De-
partment of Ohio makes succuet
statement of the Grand Armys attitude
toward the pension question, He says:
IF any man by fraud has secured a
place on The pension roll, the Grand
Army of the Republic demands that his
name be erased: but the Grand Army
repudiates the assertion that the pension
roll is not a roll of honor because some
unworthy men may have secured a place
thereon by fraud
This is manly answer to the unre-
pentant copperheads and cheap dema-
gogues who are making This pension
matter preteXt to abuse ;he veterans
as camp followers. coffee coolers and
bummers. and to stigmatize the Grand
Army leaders as most of them men who
did the talking in the war and not the
fighting. The fact is that there can be
no political issue in this country over
the pension legislation. The people who
are trying to create one are trying to
make bricks without straw.-Bost0H

Hurrying Crops In

Americans are too much in hurry to be
the best farmers, unless they constantly
guard against our national habit of slight
ing work to get it done in the easiest and
quickest way. The blowing is not done
as it ought to be, thinking that the after
cultivation will remedy this defect But
threatening weather causes the farmer to
hurry his seed into the ground. Then he
thinks if it is hoed crop that he will
make up" for neglect by being more
thorough in cultivation and hoeing. But
he never is. The poor preparation of the
seed bed makes it longer before the crop
comes up so he can see the rows. Ground
not fitted so as to give the crop the most
vigorous start cannot make crop either
cheaply or according to the capacity OF the
land to produce.
The Somerset reporter., 1893-05-25
Things to be Remembered about
Sleeping.

Sunlight is good for everything but
feathers.
The best number of persons to each
bed is one.
Beware of dusty, musty carpet; better
sweetness and bare floor.
Do not fail to provide some means fol
ventilation during the night
Keep the head cool while sleeping, but
not by draught Of cold air falling upon
it.
If a folding bed must be used, contrive
some way to keep it aired and wholesome
Let the pillow be high enough to bring
the head in natural position, no more OF
less.
Thoroughly air the sleeping room every
day; air the bedding and beds as often as
possible.
A dark, out-of-the-way, unwholesome
corner is no more fitted for sleeping room
than for parlor.
A feather bed which has done service
for generation or two is hardly desir-
able thing upon which to Sleep.-Gooa
HonsekeebiNe.

Wherever we have seen the Sons Of

Faged In the arts and sciences or in the

lonored their native state. And the fame
and accomplishments OF her daughters are
not circumscribed by the boundaries Of

she Is adding her labor and skill, and send
ing forth the finished product. She Is TAX
| ing her lumber from the forests, her
granite and slate from the quarries, her
wealth from the mountains and the hills,
and with her skilled labor creating COM
modities OF value and supplying the de-
m8nds OF other states
| while her wooden ships traverse every
sea, carrying American products to the
markets Of the world. her enterprising
citizens have already demonstrated that
she cannot be outrivalled in the construc-
tion of ships Of iron.
''She is rapidly bringing into life her
vast undeveloped resources. The waters
| of her great rivers the Psnobscot, the
| kennebec, the Androscoggin and the
Saco, with their unlimited powers, are be-
| ing utilized in their course to the sea,
