Names ice cropis seriously threatened
by drought. The water supply has been
gradually falling. until now the small
rivers are nearly dry and the larger ones
are lower than for years. In the Kenne-
bee the water has not been so low for
years. At Augusta one can easily wade
across. The Androscoggin is practically
without water, and the mills at Lewis
ton would be shnt down were it not for
the fact that the lakes have been tapped
and a supply thus obtained. But the
lakes are several feet lower than for
years. In the Penobscot the water Is so
low that the current is not powerful
enough to keep back the tide. and the
water accordingly Ia so salt that, should
winter set in suddenly. the ice would be
entirely unfit for consumption. Boston

nv SWEETHEART.

Whenever play ON the old guitar
The songs that my sweetheart taught me.
NY thoughts 60 back TO the summer time
When FIRST in her tolls she caught me;
And once again can hear the sound
OF her gleeful voice blown over
The meadow. sweet with the scent of thyme,
And pink with the bloom OF clover.
The faded ribbon Is hanging still
Where her dimplcd fingers tied it,
used 10 envy 1t stealing round
Her neck. for she did not chide IL;
And the inlaid pearl that her ringlets touched
As she loaned above II lightly.
CLOVIS even now with hint OF gold
That It once reflected brightly.
Whether her eyes were blue as the skies
On MONDAY in September,
Or brown like those Of u startled fawn.
can't for the world remember;
But when she lifted them up TO mine
know that my young heart tingled
In time TO the tender tune che sang
And the airy chords she jingled.
Yet now. though sweep the dusty strings
By her gtrlish spirit haunted.
Till out OF the old guitar there trips
melody blithe. enchanted,
Ny pulses keep on their even way
And my heart has ceased its dancing,
For somebody else sits under the spell
OF the songs and sidelong CHANGING.

Trains Delayed b, Autumn Leaves.


Engineers on the railroads in several
parts OF the state have experienced much
difficulty in running their trains on time
during the past week awing to the large
downfall Of leaves upon the tracks. The
Housatonic road has suffered most
through the long stretches of woodland
which the road passes. 1t has been i'm
possible for the section hands on the diff.
ferent divisions to keep the tracks free
from them. The result is that when the
wheels OF the locomotive pass over them
the sap from the leaves makes the rails
slippery and the obstruction is as bad as
hail, snow or ice. Ii Ia even worse, as
the leaves refuse to melt or freeze, but
stick TO the rails until dried up.-New

Once within the mimic city, the
stranger finds much to instruct and
amuse. Here the process Of dairying,
lace-making and other Irish industries
are faithfully represented, and the time
may be pleasantly passed in listening
to genuine Irish songs, dances, etc.
The funds to sustain this enterprise
were subscribed by people of every po-
litical and religious faith in Ireland
and by public-spirited citizens of this
country. There is another Irish village
in the Plaisance, on the right-hand side
further west, which offers many fea-
lures of interest, but the n that has
the Blarney stone must, and very natu-
rally, attract the most attention.
A little further along the Plaisance,
on the right-hand side going west, there
is the J~avanese village, of which SO
much has been said and written. With
out going into a detailed account of its
many queer features, we can but say
that it is well worth the price asked to
pass through this strange community.
The people themselves are the greatest
curiosities of this remarkable exhibit.
Their houses, mode of living and many
curios from the land of the Malay offer
ample interest for an hours visit, but
when the visitor leaves their gates he
does so with an impression that there
is a race that cannot we'll lay claim to
being anything like clean in their
habits.
A little further along are the Ger
man villages, "Old Vienna on the left
and the German village proper on the
right, in either of which there is much
to be seen and heard hat will afford the
visitor a profitable hours pause. Aside
from the beer and music, which are in
dispensable adjuncts to most all Ger
man entertainments, there is much to
please and instruct in the various pro-
auctions of art and industrial skill.
The concerts in themselves are always
a great attraction for lovers of martial
music, and great crowds of Germans are
constantly drawn to- the daily concerts
in these villages.
In the immediate neighborhood of
the German villages are the Turkish
mosques and bazars in which are
faithfully portrayed the different
phases of life in the oriental cities.

Nudging his companion, he started to
