A Wasted Grafton.

They tell a good story about one of our
prominent lawyers here He is considered,
and rightly, an orator, and on occasions is
in great demand as n speaker. The episode
occurred after he had recently been called
upon for oratOrical efforts on several occa-
sions and had responded. Retiring one
night very tired after banquet, the viands
Of which had evidently not been so care
fully prepared as the impromptu after din
ner speeches, the lawyer was troubled with
somnambulism.
Rising up in bed he began to pour forth
a torrent of eloquence, accompanying it
with vigorous gestures. His wife was
awakened and cried out to her excited
spouse, What in the world are you doingg"
The reply came like a fash from the SOM
nambulistic orator, 1--WE talked for every
body else, now Pm making a speech for my
self" He thereupon subsidized, and the
next morning knew nothing of the ludi-
crous incident.-Augusta (Me.) Journal.

AMERICAN CORN IN DENMARK.
Special Agent c. j. Murphy Opens New
Mnrketa For Our Maize.

Special Agent c. j. Murphy Opens New
Markets For Our Maize.
In former report l noticed the arrival
in Denmark of Colonel Charles j. Murphy,
special agent of the United States agricul-
tural department for the introduction here
of corn as human food. l am pleased TO
state that by his untiring labors and en-
thusiasm he has already succeeded in awak-
ening marked interest among the people of
Denmark in this great American product.
The various forms in which corn can be
made TO serve as a food were unknown in
Denmark before the coming of Colonel
Murphy
The methods used TO attract attention
seem to me to have been wise end certainly
have been quite effective. The corn ban
quet" given in Copenhagen accomplished
the object desired. The United States min
lister presided, and as guests there were
present Major General Kobke, head of the
commissary of the Danish army, and the
chief surgeon, DR.. Mollar; the consuls Of
Russia, England, Belgium and Sweden;
members of the Copenhagen press, various
merchants and business men, and DIR. Jur-
quensen, noted authority on food in Den
mark.
The following menu was served and
greatly enjoyed by the guests, to most Of
whom the dishes were an entire novelty:
Mush (maize) and milk.
GrillCd oysters, rolled in maize.
Mixed rye maize bread.
Mixed maize wheat bread.
Fried maize musb, with American maple
strip.
Roast American turkey.
Hominy (maize) croquettes.
California fruit
Sweet corn (maize).
Corn flour tmaize) pudding and California
fruit.
Cheese and butter, with corn (maize) bread.
Cerealine flake lmaiZel pudding.
Ices. California raisins, figs and assorted fruit.
California wines. Reislng (white) claret.
Champagne.
Already several wholesale dealers are in
communication with American mills and
have sent orders from which to supply the
retail trade in Copenhagen. Before this
there was not store in Denmark where
prepared corn could be obtained, and gen
eral opinion prevailed that corn is only fit
for hogs and cattle. The United States
minister and consul have rendered such as
sistance as they could but the success is
due for the most part to Colonel Murphy

Edwin Booths Joke.

A group of actors, writer's and artists was
gathered about a central figure in the par
lor of the Players club. He was digni-
fled man of commanding presence, but
emaciated features From out of the depths
of his sunken eyes there flashed the fire of
genius that even illness could not subdue.
Edwin BoOth-for it was he-waS in rem
iniscent mood, and his hearers listened
eagerly to his words.

once TO play a joke on Aunt Louisa Ed

during an engagement in London. On the
ist Of July heard that Mrs. Eldridge was
in London, and 1 sent her complimentary
tickets for the evening of the Fourth of
July.
"On the afternoon of the Sd of July my
attention was attracted by the display of
gaudy hosiery in a shop window. One of

length and made up of brilliant red, white
and blue stripes. | bought them and or
dered them sent to Mrs. Eldridge.
THE evening of the Fourth came, and l

crowded, and Mrs. Eldridge was in the box
with her friends / had told the mem bers
of my company about the stockings, and
we wondered what she would do with them.
At the end of the soliloquy To be, or not to
be- the audience rose in wild applause. l
then noticed that the members of my COM
pany were endeavoring to prevent an out
burst of merriment, and l turned toward
the place where their eyes indicated, which
was the box occupied by Mrs. Eldridge and
her friends.

that went through those straits would be

FAcTUREo
WOOD, BISHOP e. CO., Bangor, Me.


\ gentleman who stammered from child
hood almost up to manhood gives a very
simple remedy for the misfortune. He
says: go into room where you will
be quiet and alone, get some book that
will interest but not excite you and sit
down and read two hours aloud to your
self, keeping your teeth together. Do
this every two or three days-or once a
week if very tiresome-a always taking care
to read slowly and distinctly, moving the
lips but not the teeth. Then when con-
versing with others, try to speak as slowly
and distinctly as possible and make UP
your mind that you will not stammer.
THE first result was to make my jaws
ache-that is, while | was reading and
the next to make me feel as if something
had loosened my talking apparatus. for
| could speak with less difficulty imme-
diately. The change was so great that
every one who knew me remarked it. |
repeated this remedy every five or six days
for a month, and then at longer intervals
until cured ~ T. TELEGRAM

Bone Fertilizer.

The fine raw bone contains 3 or more
percent of nitrogen. "Dissolved bone
usually means bone black acted upon by
acids The bone black is bone charcoal
prepared much like wood charcoal. and
of course the heating drives off the nitro
gen Very few raw bones are treated
with acids for commerciae fertilizers. A
portion of the nitrogen is lost by such
treatment and the fine bone -four is more
economical for the farmer says The Rural
New Yorker. The finer the bone the bet
ter. The stations in analyzing bone di-
vide it into four degrees of fineness-hne,
fine medium, medium and coarse. In the
fine nitrogen is figured at IS cents pound
and phosphoric acid at 7 cents. In the
coarse grade the values are IL and )
respectively, and the difference is due en-
tirely to fine grinding.

The Somerset reporter., 1893-11-02

If there is one thing more than another
that farmer needs to study, it is how to
improve his time What mean is how
to waste the least time and accomplish
the most. Some men seem never to be
in the right place, always at the wrong
end Of the ladder. Now to explain brief
ly ! will cite few instances;
John is good fellow and hard work
ing man; he is kind to his wife and chill
eren, obliging to his neighbors, but he
don't make farming pay. He works his
brain too little for the amount of muscle
he wears out. He strives to make farm
ing pay by muscular force alone. He
thinks if he plants four acres OF corn he
will get four times as much from the
ground as he does from one-but he only
expects to put the work of one acre upon
it. Isn't it waste of time to plant four
acres of corn when you only have time
and dressing for one? My arithmetic
says yes. How many farmers all over our
State and outside our State as well, are
doing this same thing, more work than
they can do well?
know a man who keeps twenty head
of cattle on the feed of ten, and at selling
time is obliged to take one head price

It's with the farmer as with the merchant
or business man, he must keep within his
resources or there is an evil day at hand.

This must. at least until our people find

in exceptional cases. and then only for

of cotton goods, some grades of knit goods
