Burglary at East Deering.

Some time Thursday night burglars
deliberately bored around the Yale lock
that tastens the door of the store, used
as the post office. just across the bridge,
at East Deering, slipped in hand,
pulled back the spring lock and entered
the store. They lighted a parafine can
die. looked about them, selected about
S25 worth of goods, and then went off.
They did not touch any postofice mat
ter.
Some time ago the same store was en-
tered by burglars. The store then was
fastened with common lock, and sew
eral dollars worth of candy, cigars and
cigarettes were taken. Thee the post
master had the Yale lock put on the
door.

A woMAN,s EYES.
What She Must Do Co Have Them Always
Clear and BRIGHT.

Clear and Bright.
Psychologists write learned volumes
about the delicate structure of the eye,
and pious people write pious articles about
the pleasures Of the sight. Women read
the volumes and the articles, acquiesce
cordially and go on reading in the trains,
sewing on black by gaslight, doing fine
embroidery, studying all night and gen
orally abusing their eyes. Then they take
to the oculist and eyeglasses.
The first step in caring for the eyes is
to use them but sparingly. The strain Of
steady and continuous work cannot fail
to be injurious. The woman who is oblig-l
ed to use her eyes steadily must give them
frequent even if brief vacations If she
has to write all day or if she sews con-
tinuously, she should give her eyes five
minute resting spells every two or three
hours. Dropping her work, closing her
eyes and keeping them closed for even SO
brief period will rest not only the eyes,
but the brain, and work will be easier and
more inspiring afterward. The woman
who is obliged to use her eyes all day in
her business should not use them any
more than is necessary in the evening.
Fine sewing, reading and writing should
be entirely tabooed.
Very hot water is beneficial to the sight
If it is rightly applied 1t counteraots any
tendency to Inflammation and rests and
relaxes the muscles about the eyes, It
should be applied not merely against the
lids, but to the eyes themselves. A soft
cloth should be dipped in hot water,
wrung out slightly and applied to the eyes.
Water may also be dashed against the eyes
by the hand. Five minutes of the hot
water treatment at the close of days
work, followed by five minutes of rest with
closed eyes, will do wonders toward re-
freshing the tired sight.
When a person is in a state of health
and vigor, the whites of the eyes are blush
in color and very clear. When the system
is run down, the blood disordeled or the
stomach in poor condition, tine whites of
the eyes are yellowish. The whites of over
strained eyes, Of eyes that are not closed
in sleep long enough each night and of
eyes that are given to looking upon wine
when it is red and other glittering things
are bloodshot. AS usual thing the whites
of the eyes are an excellent index to the
habits and health of man or woman. -

STATE OF MAINE.
May Get $4,000 or $4,000 from
Luther Bryant Estate.

How the Collateral Inheritance Law Will
Get In Its Work-The State Will Have
To Prove Its Claim in Court-It Has a
Righ4 to one and half per cent of all
Property Within Its Domain.
The legislature of 1898 passed an act
that has been in force in New York and
other States for quite a while, known as
the collateral inheritance act, and it is
to be found in chapter 146, Acts OF 1893
This is the section that has an especial
bearing:
All property within the jurisdiction of
this State and any interest therein,
whether belonging to inha bitants of this
State or not. and whether tangible or
intangible, which shall pass by will or
by the interstate law of the State, or by
deed or by grant, sale or gift made or
intended to take effect in possession or
enjoyment after the death Of the grant
or, to sny person, in trust or otherwise
other than to or for the use of the father,
mother, husband, wife, lineal descendant
adopted child, the lineal descendant of
any adopted child, the wife or widow of
son, or the husband of the daughter of
the descendants, shall be liable to a tax
of Ia per cent of it's value, above the
sum of $500, for the use of the State, and
all administrators, executors, trustees,
and any such granted under conveyance
made during the grantor's life, shall be
made liable for all such taxes with
lawful interest as hereinafter provided
until the same shall be paid as herein
after directed
Other sections of the law provided for
it's execution and makes it the duty of
the Judge of Probate to see that the
State gets what is due. In fact he cannot
accept any final settlement until the
claim OF the State has been discharged.
All expenses of administration, appraisal
etc., are to be deducted from the estate
before The State gets it's part, and in
case of any litigation arising, the ex-
pense of that also comes out first. The
State does not get it's part until the es-
tate is all settled and ready for final
division among the heirs, and then it's
part comes out first of all. The appraisal
OF the property determines the amount
that the State is to receive and if the
appraisal made is not considered fair to
the state another may be ordered and
the expense borne by the estate
The late Luther Bryant of Biddesord
left an estate estimated at considerably
over a million dollars. He died intes-
tate and left no descendants in whose
cases the law makes any exceptions. If
he gave away any of the property before
his death then the lawyers think that
may be made an important question.
That is if Miss Haines proves that Mr..
Bryant before his death gave her GER
tain amount of personal property. then
it is thought that property saould not
pay the two and a half per cent. tax to
the estate. Others think differently.
Anyway it looks as if under the law the
State would get about S25. 900 to $50, 600
out of the property by the tax.

Six ttaLiER RALEIGH.
His Irish laolne at YoughaIl Still Standing
sand In Good Repair.

sssl0 In OOOu Repair.
The town of Youghal, Ireland, is pleas
antly situated on the side of rocky hill
at the mouth of the Blackwater river,
which here separates the counties of Cork
and Waterford On entering the town
one sees many signs Of its age and impor-
lance. Frowning down on the main street
are the grim walls of an old Tudor castle
Nearer the sea stands the old watergate,
and on the heights above the old church
of ST. Mary may be seen the remains of
the town walls, with turrets at intervals,
while here and there many stone null
1ioned wasedow and pointed arch reminds
US of the times of Queen Elizabeth. Sim.
liar remains are to be found in several old
towns in Ireland, but Youghal possesses
one building quite unique in its interest
and in the memories which it recalls.
Sir Walter Raleigh's house at Youghal
looks today from the outside much the
same as it did 800 years ago, when the IA
nous sea captain, colonizer, poet and court
Ter of Queen Elizabeths reign lived
there for some time. The front, with its
projecting porch and bay window; the
south, with its sunny oriel the back, with
its towering chimneys; the massivelwalls
five feet thick, the high pitched gables
all remain almost unchanged. In the gar
den four old yew trees said to have been
planted by Raleigh himself, are still flour
ishing. The old Irish name of the town.
Eochaill, means yew wood. 1t is properly
pronounced in two syllables, but English
tongues find its sound difficult, and SO
they pronounce the name as 'sYawl." Ra-
leigh's usual spelling of the name, "Yo-'
holl, y better suggests the true sound.
Entering the house we pass through the
hall and visit the low dining room on the
ground floor. Up stairs there are hand
some rooms, waipscoted with dark oak
One of these retains in it's fireplace the old
blue Dutch tiles, with Scriptural subjects
inclesed in circular border. The princi
pal room, that with it's sunny oriel win
dow, still preserves it's beautiful man
telpiece of deliberately carved oak ris-
ing up to the paneled ceiling. Three
figures, Faith, Hope and Charity, support
the cornice, while the panels between are
richly ornamented, and an exquisite de-
signs runs along the Intel of the fireplace
This splendid work of art dates from
above Raleigh's time, and it is believed to
have been the work Of Flemish monks.
