A Question of Bounties.

The legislature of the state of Maine
has again and again passed law of
fering bounty for bears that have
been killed and repealed it every
time. In the year 1878 over So, 900
were paid@n bounties by the state,
and the next year member from a
shore town introduced a bill for the
laws repeal.
He said that hunters would I'M
doubtedly kill the bears for the sake
of the meat and pelts without the
extra inducement of the bounty.
Upon this stalwart backwoods.
man rose in his might and said:
1.-THE gentleman don't rightly
know what he's talkin about. Most
of the bars are killed when they're
nothin but GOODS, when their meat
and pelts are wuthless"
.''Let them grow till they are of
value, then" said the member from
the seacoast sharply.
And would like to ask the gen
tleman what them bars are to live
on whilst they are GROWING" inquired
the backwoodsman in tone of with
ering scorn. Our sheep, presume
to say, and baby now and then"
The bill for the repeal was not
passed on that occasion. Youth's

joss Carving.

Josses carved from stone are rare
and dear. Great mandarins pay fab
ulous prices for small ones made
from jade; those made of the pale
green and light blue shades are much
more valuable than the white, yellow
or brown. Liu, the former governor
of Formosa, owns a joss about s
inches high, which is said to be Is
centuries old and to be worth SO, 900.
Small ones of 1 to 2 inches high sell
dom cost less than 5000 to $3.50.
The difficulty of cutting the re-
fractory stone is great, and is the
chief reason for its high price. In
Funchau they make many josses out
Of steatite and selenite of various
colors. These are rather neat and
are very cheap. The softness of the
stone allows the dealer to give a
newly carved image the appearance
of great antiquity by rubbing it with
a little fine sand. An hours work
removes all shape lines and produces
that effect which marks all ancient
statues from the sphinx downward

Real Endowment,

Most of the enjoyments that we
really have we find in those unre-
garded and unsought for hours which
we profess to consider the most tedi-
ous-hours of quiet and useful ac-
tivity, when we are not thinking in
the least of pleasure-hours touched
with the tenderness of friendship or
domestic love, with spirits kindled to
a crystal flame by the earnestness of
quiet and administrative converse.
These are the things that feed and
succor the soul and redeem the mel
ancholy of life. = A. Lampman in

A Needless Warming.

when he observed a great warning"
sign upon one which he feared he

cold, he saw written in great letters
this admonition, Keep in cool

entity became torrid for a time at
least. Bangor Commercial.

Now the electricians have advanced
the proposition that electric light has

phere converts the oxygen into ozone.
thunderstorm clears the air. On
such established facts as these the
electricians base their claims that the
electric light has curative property.
When the rays are directed from
the apparatus to any part of the BODY
the effect is to increase the circulation
and bring on a copious perspiration
where the light strikes. If it is de-
sired to treat some particular part Of
the body, the screens and refectors
are adjusted SO that the electric light
Is thrown to that place alone. If gen
cral treatment. as we'll as local ap-
plication, is wanted the patient sits
with his back to the apparatus. The
specific rays are thrown upon tbs
diseased s-ot and the general electric
light is thrown upon the whole body
Different colored lights are employed
for different diseases. For some cases
the electric light is thrown through
blue glass. For special effect on the
blood red electric light is used, and
for results on the nervous system the
color is yellow.
Sun baths are as old as the hills
Electric light baths are something en-
tirely new. The doctors examined
the contrivauces with good deal of
interest The astonishing claim is
made by the electricians that this
treatment is more rapid in its action
than drugs. They tell great things
OF what it has done for grip-stricken
patients. There is almost nothing to
which the electric light treatment is
not applied.

A House In Coisbro0k, n. h, said to

The community of Coiebrook, n. H. :,
Is very much exercised over the ghost
which is said to nightly haunt what is
known as the Warrington place, a
small house situated about q mile and
. half from town. This ghost is said
to be that of the houses last tenant
Cornelius Warrington, who a few
months back hanged himself there.
For some years Warrington had been
unpopular with the townspeople, ow-
ing to a suspicion that he had been in
strumental in bringing about his
brothers death, which left him heir to
his relatives property.
The body of water was privately ex-
humed and examined, but there being
nothing found to sustain the suspicion
of foul play Warrington was never
publicly accused. though most of the
community still believed him guilty,
and accordingly tabooed him. This
finally 80 affected the mans spirits

Several responsible persons who
knew Warrington well in life testify
to having seen him about the place oi
late. but that on their trying to accost
him he disappeared The house now

in New York, and when he heard o1
the ghost he ordered an examination
made of the premises. This task was

LAST NIGHTS FIRE,

Al 1880 last night the fire department
was called out to a fire at 335 North Wich-
ita street. A very nice six-roomed house
was discovered on fire, and was totally
DESTROYED. How the fire originated no
one was able TO determine. Mrs. b. II.
Downing, who lives in the second house
south of the one burned, went out to her
barn for the purpose of locking the door.
and just as she reached the barn her at
tention was attracted by the light, and
she was horrified to see the flames burst
ing from the kitchen windows. She inn
mediately notified Mr.. Williams who lives
next door, and he ran to the Occidental
hotel to turn in the alarm. The house
was unoccupied, and formerly belonged
to Joseph Starr. He sold it to Andy john
son. who still owns it. A family moved
out OF it yesterday morning. When Mrs.
Downing saw the fire it was burning from
the kitchen floor and the whole kitchen
was rapt in flames. The neighbors believe
it was set on fire. 1t was insured.
