A MARSHAL WITH NO SALARY.
Biddeford Democrats and the New Police
Board.
Especial to the press.1

BDDEFoRD, june ga special meet
ing of the Biddeford city council tonight
passed an order that on and after this day
the city marshal shall receive no salary
from the city and that the pay of police,
when actually employed, shall be $3.50
per day until changed by the city coun-
Gil Biddeford's police commission, ap-.
pointed by the Governor some months
ago under the act authoEizing 1t, organ
ised today and intends to assume charge
of the police department soon. The act
provides that the pay Of, policemen shall
not be less that In 1892, but does not
provide for the city marshaps salary.
The Democratic city council takes this
means of resenting the establishing of
the police commission. The fees, how
ever, are the best part of the marshal's s
perquisites. The salary was formerly
$500. The commission has made no ap-
pointments yet.

AN OLD SWORD.

This glittering sword, this same bright blade,
A glorious part in history played.
See, there half effaced is the British crown,
And the hilt is ablaze with jewels gay.
My grandfather found It IN Boston town
just after the British had sailed away
When Washington was our general.
And then for years, tradition sings,
1t helped TO sever the apron strings
Which bound US TO England across the seas,
1t served to make real hope forlorn,
1t fought for the Thirteen Colonies,
And then in proud salute was borne
When Washington was our president
This glittering sword, this same bright blade,
In case for hundred years was laid.
1t made all titles transparent seem
In the land where men are equal and free
Forever-but wait, now faint as a dream,
A face and form fair and lovely see
forget that queen reigns over me-

Arc You Prepared

To see any such advertisement appear
IN the sky would be decidedly startling,
and it is well to be warned. An English
man has succeeded in perfecting an cleo
trio apparatus that enables him to cast
luminous letters and figures upon the
clouds, 80 this warning Is by no means
unnecessary. 1t is quite possible that
such an advertisement may some day be
seen. II would certainly be great nov

nent men might be given, and already

Owing 10 some inosculation Of the
nervous mechanism, which at present
we cannot unrayel, the association Of
pleasure and wagging has become 10 in
Ieparable that the movement OF dogs
tail follows the emotion, whatever may
call IL forth.
An explanation OF similar kind can
be found for the fact that dogs depress
their tails when threatened or scolded.
When running away the tail would DO
the part nearest the pursuer, and there
fore most likely 10 be seized. II was
therefore securely tucked away between
the hind legs. The act Of running away
IL naturally closely associated with the
emotion Of fear, and therefore this ges-
ture Of putting the tail between the legs
becomes an inyariable concomitant Of
retreat OF submission In the presence Of
superior force.-Dr. Louis Robinson In

A Mighty Hunter.

autumn TO take part in the sports at the
country estate Of M. Casimir-Perier. He
accepted tho invitation, and consequent

NJ. Casimir-Perie was aware that his
old friend, now the president, knew
nothing whatever about hunting. But
he instructed his gamekeeper 10 follow
NJ. Theirs about, and see that, in one way
or another, the great guest Of tho occa-
