a very unusual thing for him TO do,

low citizens, and it was generally felt
that he was destined in the future to
be man Of great prominence. Neal
Dow was especially interested at this
time in the advocacy by James AID
pleton of legislative measures prOhib-
iting the making or sale Of intoxi-
cants In Maine. In 1887 Mr.. Apple
ton had presented a report to the
Legislature in favor Of these prohibit
tive measures and the cause was
warmly embraced by Neal Dow.
Though he toiled laboriously to have
Mr.. Appleton's resolution embodied
in law, yet his efforts were for
long time without avail and il was
In 1851 that he finally was successful.
On the breaking out of the war Mr..
Dow felt it his duty to go to the
front, and December 81, 1861, he
was appointed Colonel Of the Thir-
teenth Maine Volunteers, and with
his regiment he joined Gen. Buffers
expedition to New Orleans. Here he
served with great bravery and proved
a military leader Of ability and skill.
He was always a great friend Of Gen.
Butler and upon the latters death a
short time ago he delivered an elo-
quent address in praise of the great
leader. April %, 1862, Col. Dow was
appointed Brigadier General of Vol
unteers and placed in command OF the
forts at the mouth of the Mississippi
and afterward Of the whole district
Of Florida. The next year in the at
tack on Fort Hudson he was wounded
twice and while lying in a house near
BY was taken prisoner. Eight months
If Imprisonment at Libby Prison and
Mobile followed, during which he
suffered greatly. He was then ex-
changed, and November 30, 1864, he
resigned. Gen BOWS military career
was brave and gallant and such as TO
give him national reputation. He
has always been proud of it and only
last year he delivered a stirring and
patriotic address before the veterans
Of the regiment which he led to the
field.
The passage of ohe restrictive liq-
uor bill in Maine has not been the only
work which Gen. Dow hds done in
this direction. In 1851. '66 and "A,
he went to England at the invitation
of the United Kingdom Temper
ance Alliance, and in all the large
cities delivered addresses before en-
thusiastic audiences. AS the years
have passed on his zeal in this chosen
field has increased and become even
more ardent. BY speeches and news
paper articles he has endeavored to
win popular approval of prohibitive
legislation, and all over this country
and Canada, as well as in England,
has his voice teen heard in advocacy
of his favorite measure.
In 1880 Gen. Dow was candidate
for President of the United States on
the ticket Of the Prohibitionists and
received 10, 305 votes. He is a man
whose influence has been and is wide
ly felt, and one who is honored and
respected by all

ROYAL Life Saved hr n Spider.

On the ceiling of one of the rooms
in Sans Souci, The world-renowned
palace of Frederick the Great, is
painted a great spider with its web.
The origin of this strange decoration
is said to be as follows: This apart
ment was the great kings breakfast
room and adjoining mis- bed-chamber.
Every morning when his majesty en-.
tered the room lie was accustomed to
find cup of chocolate, but OH one &C.
casion, just as he was about to drink,
he bethought himself Of something he
had forgotten and returned to his bed
room. When his majesty again enter.
tered the break fast-room he discover
ed that a great big spider had in the
meantime dropped from the ceiling
into the cup and he naturally cried out
for fresh chocolate to be prepared.
The next moment the king was start
led by the report of a pistol. No
sooner had the cook received the order
than he blew ont his brains. Not be-
cause the king refused the chocolate
did he do this, but because he had
poisoned the cup and thought himself
discovered. 1t was in remembrance
of this narrow escape that his majesty
ordered the spider with its web to be
painted on the ceiling. = THE Million.

The huanaco. which is a small
camel which is widely distributed in
South America, has a peculiar instinct
of repairing to some lonely, deserted
spot, when seized with the pangs of
death, and removed from all its

its last sickness in sort of dismal yet
poetic isolation, says tho Great Di-

A Hyena Suicide.

s A remarkable case of attempted
suicide by hyena has come to light
Last Friday evening as A. L. Holton,
the veteran animal trainer who has
charge of the Robinson mcnagerie.
was passing around among his fierce
pets in the Poplar street barn he heard
peculiar sound as Of beast tapping
in the hyena cage, and il being long
past feeding time ne set out to invests
CUTE.
lie was astonished to find that the
handsome striped liyena had cut its
own throat with its sharp claws and
stood there eagerly tapping up the
blood which flowed in a steady stream
from its throat. 1t had Jled till tile
whole floor of the cage was red. The
rich stream was flowing much faster
than it couldsbe Tapped up, aud the
excited beast was becoming weaker
ard weaker, so that it staggered as it
Tapped its own life current
Tearing away the Stats of the cage
Holton grabbed the beast by the hlnd
legs and in 4 twinkling drew a gunny
sack over its body, combining it. Then
he tied its legs and lastly cut the sack
away from the beasts head and dressed
the wound. Luckily the arteries were
not cut and probably the animal will
recover. To prevent the further
liberation of the wound the claws of
the hycna were bound in muslin,
which was then soaked IN varnish so
the animal could not tear it away. II
was then placed in small box on a
bed of hay, where, its fierce madness
being sootlcd, it is now lying more
dead than alive. Mr.. lIolton said to a
Times Star man that he believes the
beast deliberately tried TO commit sui
eide, as it is very old aud is no doubt
tired of life in the narrow cage. 1t is
a well-kuown fact that if a hyena
scratches leg so that blood flows it
will guaw the leg off and chew at the
stump till it falls dead with tho. loss of
blood. Probably in scratching its
neck the animal. in the present in
