STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

A short time ago an old Massachusetts,
Clergyman went through Bangor with q
party of sportsmen who had been up in
Plscataquis county. The latter scurried
and worried for several days, tramping
miles through the woods but bringing
in no game. Then the parson said:
You boys are not working this in the
right Way. While you are tramping
around through the woods the deer hear
you.and keep about SO far away all the
time. You haven't captured anything
yet. Now just let me manage the thing
for awhile. Well go home with buck
The next day the parson posted his
a water course that he had previously
carefully looked over, Each man knew
just where his neighbor were located
and therefore there was no danger of
the thought he was a deer" catastrophe.
Perhaps twas bit more tedious lying
there in ambush then tramping through
the woods, but on this trip the boys
were not out after scenery. They stuck
to thesparson's plan and three days later
each man had handsome deer.

duced to the medical profession and

denied popularity which they met with
not only continues, but steadily increases
No other plasters have been introduced

Alicock's Porous Plssters and the only
motive for these exceptional tributes lies
IN the fact of their being medical AM
pharmaceutical preparation of superior

Arc WE TO HAVE A crASar2

The courteous Difference paid ia
women by all who have the slightest
claim to be considered as gentlemen
il, in the opinion OF many persons,
likely to be lessened by the demands
for equal rights and responsibilities
made by the advanced and progressive
sections OF the sex. The story OF the
lady who, on getting into full car
ria3e, was met by the question from
the only male occupant as to whether
or no she was IN ad-ocate for the
equality of the sexes, and on replying
in the affirmative was informed she
might stand during the remainder OF
the journey, ia scarcely and exaSger-
ated illustration OF the feelings of not
few men.
In some instances women appear TO
recognize their increasing responsible
ity, and tale comes to us from New
port respecting grand dinner organ
lied by ladies at nm expensive restau-
rant, where the viands were partaken
Of to the music of band, ladies' alone
being present, the husbands being de-
tained in the city by the inexorable
claims of business or pleasure. Each

of paying for herself with her hus-
oand's money, the feast being what Is
known as dutch treat" We are
further informed that the whole pro-
,eeding was success, and that, even

ow-pressure hours of business. In
liverpool an association of ladies has
oeen formed FOR the purpose of peti.
iioning shopkeepers to provide seats
or their employees, which has already
net with gratifying success.
Every woman shopper in the land
must feel an interest in this question.
woman physician the other day,
commenting on the matter, said that
it was II constant wonder TO her that
shop girls did not faint daily at their
posts. The strain of standing is SO
much more severe than that OF wal <.
ing the same length of time. And
when, as is much often the case, the
shop girl is poised on high-heeled, i'll
shaped shoes, frequently cruelty short
and narrow, it is not strange that their
faces grow lined and careworn, their
voices sharp, and their tempers rasped,
with the positive suffering they under
go.
The women of England took up thg
half-holiday question and brought j,
about. Many New York women never
visit shop on Saturday afternoon.
