LABOR's GREAT DAY.
Next Mondays Celebration Promises To
Be Great Success.

At the special meeting of the commit
tee on Labor Day, held last evening, re-
ports received show that everything is
progressing finely, even beyond the ut
most hopes of the committee. 1t was
deemed advisable to hire moro music as
the reports show that more men will
turn out than was at first figured on, and
the music committee were instructed to
hire another band, making six bands
which will take part.
In the list of sports at the lake the
principal interest seems to be divided
between the base ball game between the
Portland and the amateur scull race be-
tween Toney Frates of the Cumberlands
and AL Bowling of the Crescent club of
Boston. Mr.. Frates and Mr.. Bowling
have raced against each other before and,
although Mr.. Frates has won, the races
have been very close, and Mr.. Dowling's
friends think that he is in better condi-
ton than ever before and will make a
good fight.
Some of the best sprinters in the state
have entered for the five mile go-as-you-
please race and it is thought that there
will be some record breaking.
The Lewiston Brigade band will fur
nish the music for dancing and Chandler
will furnish music for concerts on the
grounds.
Ample arrangements have been made
for furnishing dinner to all who desire it.

Jefrey's Talk.

Jeffrey's talk was choice and finished
performance-his words abundant, felici-
tous, and with picturesque precision,
never exaggerated. On the contrary, lit
tie depreciatory undertone ran through his
conversation; he liked to differ, as perhaps
became his profession. If any one gushed
about last evenings sunset, he would say,
"A few pinl- clouds, perhaps" His affir-
nations were rather negative than positive.
He would rather say II should not be
sorry" than II should be glad"
All this, with even touch of the artii-
cial, peculiar to himself and apt to be mis-
understood, had rendered him unpopular
with his countrymen in his youth. But he
sweetened with age, success and independ-
ence and would say that it was poor wine
that grew sour with Acknowledgements S

from the beginning to the end. His meth
cd of facilitating the remembering of
numbers, dates, ETC., is different appli-
cation of the same principle of compari-
son and is as sound and easily explained,
according to well established psychology
ical laws, as it is simple and effective.
DR.. Pick is scientist and scholar,
and there is no dissent among learned
men as to the fact that there is no man
living today who has given to the sub
ject Of memory so much analytical and
intelligent attention. Professor James
of Harvard university says of him: cdr.
Pick does not pretend to possess any
magical power. His methods and con-
illusions are eminently scientific and
philosophic. By working in accordance
with the best known laws Of mind he
produces most remarkable results" The
principal, or, as he is called, the head
master, Of the celebrated Uppingham
school in England, says, "Had known
as boy how to work in the manner l
now do from having listened to DR..
Picks instruction I should have mas
tered and retained 10 times rs much
knowledge as I now have with quar-
ter of the labor"
In talking with Dr. Pick it is not easy
to believe that he was not endowed by
nature with phenomenal memory, so
effortless is his power Of recall. This,
with fine appreciation, his wit and sense
of humor, make him charming racon-
teur. In speaking of his 10 years resi-
dence in Paris he told of many pleasant
hours spent with poor Alfred de Musset
whose continued devotion to copious liba-
tions of beer and brandy mixed on the
''half and half plan caused him to de-
cline all social invitations and in the end
brought about his death when he was
scarcely 40 years of age.
DR.. Pick says that one Of Victor Hugo's
idiosyncrasies was never to learn a word
of English, and although he had lived on
English soil 20 years it was his habit to
felicitate himself on the fact that he
could not speak syllable of English.
He also says of that great man who
was one of the "Forty Immortals" that
analytically he knew comparatively very
little Of the French language, although
Of course when it came to it's use he was
master of it.-Chicago Post.

The Needle of the Yankee.

1t was the Yankee who made the needle
turn a somersault. All the world since the
first fig leaf sewers threaded the needle in
one fashion. 1t was the Yankee who dis
covered that it was threaded at the wrong
end He declared the business end of a
needle to be, like that of bee, farthest
from it's head. Either Elias Howe or the
other man, who did not win the lawsuit
was the first man who, like the hero in
Greek mythology, held the ''eye" in his
hands and put it where he would. He
drilled the needle and inserted the thread
at the other end and set it in arms of STEEL
multiplying it's potency. AS Americans
gave the world the sewing machine and a
new kind of needle, so they manufacture
this sort AMI this nly.-Harper's Bazaar.
