Heroic Cure for Drunkenness.

An heroic cure for drunkenness has
been discovered in Auburn, and one that
would beat DR.. Keeley's all out if it only
could be claimed as permanent. An Au-
burn man, somewhat addicted to exces-
sive use of the flowing bowl was recently
married. Only night or two after the
happy event he came home gloriously
drunk His newly wed wife was dis
gusted, and decamped, taking with her
every stitch of clothing the man had.
He awoke out of his drunken stupor in
the morning, but all his wearing apparel
had mysteriously disappeared. 1t was
a bitter cold morning, the fire in the
stove had gone out and there was no
kindling at hand. To keep from freez-
ing nothing remained but to stay in bed,
for he was too proud to call any one to
help him out of his dilemma. In the
middle of the afternoon the man by
whom he was employed called around to
see what had become Of him, and got
him some clothes to put on.

Good Bye.

With characteristic enterprise, Mr..
Field is presenting the patrons OF the
Boston Museum this season with bril-
liant array of novelties, and the latest is
that to be given to the public on Monday
evening, January 10Th. This is new
play written expressly for the Boston
Museum by Miss Marguerite Merington,
the author of Captain Letterblair,' and
entitled "Good Bye" 1t will be the
first production of the piece on any stage,
and the wonderful success which has
attended Miss Merington' S literary efforts
will make the presentation of GOOD
Bye an interesting and noteworthy
event. The play will be handsomely
mounted and cast to the full strength of
the new Museum company. At each
performance new farce by B. G.
Stephenson, entitled Faithful James,
will be given. the piece being entirely
original to this country.
She Couldn't Marry Three.
1t sounds like self-evident PROPOSE
ton that She Couldn't Marry Three,
but in the play of that name which Miss
Lillian Kennedy brings to the Portland
theatre tomorrow and Friday it is shown
what lot of trouble may fall upon a girl
because she can only marry one man at
time. This most charming little
soubrette Miss Kennedy has created in
this play a new type of maidenly sweet
ness. Bess Brandon, the heroine of the
play is fsherman's daughter, who is
obliged to choose her husband from two
good men and one bad one, who are
counting her at once. She chooses wise
ly, an honest man, but the rejected
rascal pursues her and him with fiendish
malignity.
Lady BIarney.
Annie Ward Tiffany, whose rich Irish
brogue and clever acting as Peggy Logan
in 1.-THE Stepdaughter,' will be remem-
bered by our theatre-goers, comes to
Portland theatre Monday evening, pre-
senting her latest, and highly spoken of,
American comedy by Alfred Kennedy,
entitled Lady Barney The play is
said to be full of force and overfows
with wit, pathos and humor being COM
bined so as to produce the happiest
effects. Unlike Peggy Logan" "Lady
Barney requires elegant dressing, and
the rich costumes worn by her are a
feature of the production. The play
will be well cast, and an enjoyable enter
tainment is assured.

John Il. Kenna.
WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator
John E. Kenna of West Virginia, who
has been very sick here for several weeks
died this morning at o'cl ok.
Senator Kenna was born in Vancoulon.
West Virginia, April 10, 1S48. After
working ON farm, he entered the Con
federate army as private, served chiefly
in Missouri, was wounded in 1866 and
was surrenderedgat Shreveport, La, in
1865.
He afterwards attended ST. Vincent's
college and studied law at Charleston,
w. Va, being admitted to the bar in
1870. He was prosecuting attorney for
Kanawha county in 1927. He was
elected to the 45th, 10th and 47th Con-
crosses as Democrat, and had been
elected to the 4Sth, when he was chosen
United States Senator to succeed Henry
G.. Davis. Mr.. Kenna was reelected to
a second term, which would have ex-
PRED in 1895, had he lived.
The outcome of the senatorial contest
in West Virginia rested largely with the
recovery of Senator Kenna. Now that
he isdead Faulkner will no doubt be re-
elected without trouble, and ex-United
States Senator J. M. Camden will prob
ably take Mr.. Kenna's seat. If Mr..
Kenna had recovered there would have
been hot fight between Faulkner and
Camden for the single seat.

HOW INSECTS MAKE MUSIC.

Kstydlds Rub Their Shoulder blades and
Grasshrppers Strike Their Wings.
Everybody is familiar with the music
of the katydid. Here, again, says the
Washington Star, it Is the male that
has the voice. At the base of each
wing cover is u thin membraneous
plate. He e~levates the wing covers
and rubs the two plates together. II
you could rub your shoulder blades to.
gethcr you could initiate the operation
very nicely.
Certain grassheppeis make a sound
when flying that Is like d Watehmah's
rattle lackety-clack, very rapidly fe-
peated. There are also some moths
and butterflies which have voices. This
deaths head moth makes q noise
When frightened that strilxingly re-
sembles the crying of a young baby.
How It Is produced 10 Not known,
though volumes have been written on
the subject. The mourning cloak"

border in its wings-makcs a cry of
alarm by rubbing 1t, wings together.

ably loud noise. 1t Is called by the
natives 'dundub," which means druni.
From this hame comics that of the
GENTS, which is known as dundubia.
This is one of the few scientific terms
derived from the Sanskrit.
The "deathwatch' Is popular name
applied to certain beetles which bore
into the walls and floors of old houses.
They make Il ticking sound by stand
ing on their hind legs and knocking
their heads against the wood quickly
and forcibly. 1t is a sexual call. Many
superstitions have been entertained re-
specting the noise produced by these
insects, which is sometimes imagined
to be q warning of death.
Emu ,mologists have succeeded in re-
cording the cries OF many insects by
the ordinary system of musical nota-
ton. But this method does not show
the actual pitch, which is usually sew
eral octaves above the staff. 1t mere
ly serves to express the musical inter
walls. 1t is known with reasonable GER
tainty that many insects have voices
so highly pitched that they cannot be
heard by the human ear. One evidence
of this fact is that some people can dis
tinguish cries of insects which arc not
audible to others.

this condition is what we ordinarily
call light. This porous quality Of
bread enables the stomach to rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack II
from all sides. The fermentation Of
the dough, however, uses up a portion
of the nutrient elements of the loaf.
If it be possible, therefore, to produce
a light porous loaf without this de:
struetion and without the "kheadihE"
process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
period d"fing which the raising process
goes On, the gain in food and the gain
in the avoidance of the germs is ex-
ceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the dan
gers which attend the use Of yeast it is
certain that the vesiculating effect
produced by it on the dough is to the
last degree perfect. BY this I mean
that every particle of gluten produces
its little bubble Of gas and that there.

1t ia necessary, II one would under
stand the sanitary aspects Of bread
making, 10 fully comprehend the pres
emit theory held by scientists OF germs
and the part played by them In disease.
The theory Of disease germs Is merely
che name given to che knowledge he'd
OF those germs by medical men, q
knowledge which is the result of in
Vulnerable experiments. Being this,
che old term Of a "theory" has become
u misnomer. A germ Of a disease h q
plant SO small that ! do not know
how to express in~telligibly to the gem
eral reader it's lack of size, When this
germ Is introduced into the blood
or tissues of the body, rs ac-
ton appears TO be analogous to that
which takes place when yeast is added
TO dough. II attacks certain elements
Of the blood or tissues, and destroys
them, NJ the same time producing new
Substances.
But the germs of tho greater part of
the germ diseases, that Is, of the infec-
tious and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without
being in the body of a human being,
provided always you give them the
proper conditions, These conditions
are to be found in dough which is be-
Ing raised with yeast. They are
warmth, moisture and the organic
matter of the -four on which tho germs,
after certain changes, feed,
1t is necessary to remember ut this
