RAILROAD MATTERS.
Maine Central May Not Have a President
This Year-The Road is in Situation to
go on Very Well with Chairman Of the
Board of Directors

The same impenetrable mystery that
has hung over Maine Central affairs
since the annual meeting of the Boston&
Maine still hangs over the election of a
president. The meeting held at the time
OF the directors annual meeting, chose
MIR. +. A. Wilson chairman of the board
and SO left the matter. The public seem
to have inferred at that time that Mr..
Sewall's successor would be chosen very
soon. But 1T now seems to be very gen.
orally understood that the present ar
rangement will continue through this
year, at least. There is really no need of
president now. The general manage
ment Of the road is in the same hands as
usual. The presidents office does not
necessarily have much to do with that
1t is in the finance department that a
presidents duties are exercised chiefly.
that is, in the funding of loans, the
issuing Of additional stock, etc. But
there is little or no work of this sort on
hand now. The European and North
American bond refund has been closed
up, the new issue of stock was arranged
last winter; and there are no bonds COM
ing due to be refunded before 1895. and
those are provided for by the "consoln
arrangement of 1872. This is "a good
time to have no president and save the
salary which is undou btedly quite
large item.
There has been more or less talk that
Mr.. Tucker might be made nes;dant R,,+
those who are in position to know his
sentiments say he does not want the

THE DANCING DOLL.


How to Make Whrling Creature of
Paint and Pasteboard.
Draw on fine pasteboard or bristol
board a doll about foot high and
paint her face and hair handsomely;
then cut her out, says the Dolls Dress
maker, Make separately from the
doll pair of pasteboard arms and a
pair of legs of the same material, and
paint the hands and feet. The dolls
waist must be covered with a body or
cOrSage of silk or satin, lined and
made shapely with a little wadding,
Cover the arms with white sleeves of
Grape or thin muslin; let them be wide
and full and confne them at the wrist.
Sew on the arms to the shoulders or
bust of the doll. They must be made
as if she were holding out her frock
with them.
Prepare silk skirt and plat on to
the dolls waist, concealing the joint
with a belt or sash. You may add an
apron of thin Grape trimmed with rib
bon and tucked up at one corner with
a small flower.
Put silk shoes on her feet, having
sewed on the legs of the doll in such a
manner that they will move easily
from the knees.

THE WATER SPIDER.
Its Taste Inclines to "a Life on tho Ocean
Wave"


Wave"
Some of the spider family have lilz-I
ing for living in or near the water
Most of the spider family with which,
you are familiar live in the corners of!
rooms or in dark closets. But this
water spider has quite curious home,
and if you look sharp you may find one
of them some day on the banks of a
stream.
This curious little spider builds a
pretty house of silk about the shape of
thimble. This house is fastened
among the water plants growing
under the water, and naturalists tell
us that when her house is finished the
spider carries air in her body, bubble
by bubble, until she fills her tiny
house under the water full of air. In
this house she lives, carrying her food
down there to eat, and making her
nursery in one corner of the house.
And here her children live until they
grow big enough to build little thin
ble-castles for themselves.
Another curious little fellow is
called the raft spider. This creature
constructs an odd little raft of leaves
ard sticks, held together by the sill1en
threads which all spiders use. On this
raft the spider sails about, not stop
ping in any one place, but steering his
little boat wherever the fancy takes
him. His food consists of small in
sects which he finds in the water
around him. He is said to be able to
ruA upon the water as well as sail upon
it, SO altogether he is quite an accom-
plished creature. His little raft is his
home, his castle, his yacht and his
nursery, and he doubtless finds "a life
on the ocean wave" quite to his taste.

Rumor makes the romantic continual
ton of the story send upstairs the
prodigal son, who was one of the i'm
mediate causes of the care-worn lines,
which the unwilling artist had copied
into the mothers likeness, and stagger-
ing with intoxicated laundering into
the open doorway of the painters
studio, instead of that of one Of his
cronies on the next floor, pwas con-
fronted by the face of his mother above
the long, white, shroud-lile blur,
which was meant to have also obliter-
ated the face. The shock is said to
have sobered the young fellow, and
after convincing The artist OF his
sinGH4.ity, he persuaded him to be al
lowed to carry home the disfgured
painting, where, within the year, he
hung ii on the wall of his own room,
and beside it little miniature of the
same face with all the pain smoothed
out by his own reformation.-N. Y.

large knot at this end. tie it to the bar
of chair. Slip the doll around the
thread of silk till she is about yard
from the chair. Then place yourself in
front of her, holding the spool in your
hand; you may stand two yards from
the doll Jerk the thread up and down
so as to move the doll, and make her
feet go as if they were dancing.
When you are about to put her away
draw in the thread close to her back
(the knot will prevent its coming
through, wind up the spool and lay 1t
with the doll in her box or drawer.
There must be fat skirt of paste
board under the silk skirt to shape 1t

board the legs must be loosely fastened,
but not SO as to endanger their drop

A lady sat for Paris portrait paint

to burst like volcano through the
crust OF their social position, She I'M
consciously allowed her face during
the time of the sittings to relax from
the rigorous mask of pleasantness
which she. forced her features into for
the world to see. Three times the
artist faithfully painted the face be-
fore him on the canvas, to discover
each time that he had lined the face of
an old woman haggard and drawn with
pain. The last time, with a dash of
his brush across the picture, the artist
set it aside, and having guessed atsome
Temporary mental anguish of his model,
which, though making such an unpleas-
ing portrait, had not destroyed the
likeness, suggested sthat she defer the

there is an enormous profit in its sale.
The rum power battles against all leg

an attempt to purloin q bluefish from
the kitchen. So it set off for an ad-
jacent mill, to console itself with a

however, purely pleasant task; in the
