SUGGESTIONS FOR A CHURCH
FAIR.

At church fair recently six of the
booths took the names and character
istics of the six working days of the
week according to the New York
Times. Monday was wrought in
clothespins over the first stall, and
the young women attendants, in
washer women costumes, sold
laundry bags, aprons and the like.
Tuesday had the word in Chinese
incense burners and two boys dress
ed as Chinaman sold iron holders
Chinese lilies and incense. Mend
ing day betrayed itself in a We'd
nesday in spools and the sewing,
girls stationed there sold work
baskets and their stock.
A large booth was set apart for
reception day, whose Thursday
was outlined in visiting cards and
whose attendants in pretty gowns
were at home with bountifully spread
tables. Under the significant "Fri-
day" OF whisk brooms were spread
out wares pertinent to sweeping day.
Saturday" in candy meant that
baking made possible all sorts OF
edibles from bread to macaroons and
marshmalloWs.

THIRST OF BIRDS AT SEA.

How dc sea birds quench their
thirstP Sea birds are believed to
satiate their thirst partly from the fall
ing rains and partly from the fat and
oil which they devour ravenously when
opportunity puts them in their way.
The keen eyeslght of birds is we'll
known, and sea birds have been OBJ
served focking towards the storm
cloud, about to burst, from all points
OF the compass, and apparently drink
ing in the water as it descends from
the skies. They scent rain squall,
says an old skipper, a hundred miles
even further off, and speed for it with
almost incredible swiftness. Sea birds
obtain fat and oil from the fish which
they catch, and on which they subsist,
and they have also been known 10 fol-
low ships for considerable distances,
picking up scraps of fat which may be
thrown overheard. These birds are
believed to be able to remain for
several days, and even weeks, without
being compelled to seek for water
though, at the same time, their mar
yelous speed of flight would soon en-
able them to cover, when necessary, the
distance between them and fresh water
on the nearest land.

DECORATION DAY.

It is the beautiful May. Dear comrades we meet
To cover their graves with bright flowers and
sweet
The graves Of our dead whom VT loved so well
Who marched to the front, and for their country
fell.
Strew their graves thickly DER with bright
flowers OF May,
And do not miss one, either the blue or the gray,
Bring yiolets sweet, and lilies from the dell
With, many bright roses, from the hill side as
we'll.
Tbey are Gods fragrant emblems, sent from
above,
Strew them lovingly DER, they picture Gods
love.
Plant "A bright starry flag over each hero's head,
To mark the last resting place, OF our noble dead.
Strew each private's grave who carried gun
And marched weary steps to the beat OF the
drum,
For they suffered the most. their county to save,
Then cover their graves lovingly, seek each
lonely grave.
For all tn brave chieftains, so gallant and bold
Their graves are well marked by tributes ofgold,
While thousands OF poor privates, are unknown
to lame
Oh, bring choicest flowers to nOnor their name.
Come mothers, and sisters, and brothers make
haste
Away to the graves, there's not moment to
waste,
With the wreaths and bright gaTlands come
haste away
And be thankful that this is again Decoration
Lay.
But time is fast tleetng, and we too must all
Ere long hear the sound of the last bugle call,
And the task will be lett to the old veterans
To finish the work which his father begun.

NOTES AND LETTERS.
Contents of WeIl-furnished Writing
Desk-The Paper.

The writing desk is a very important
part of the furniture OF woman's own
room. There are people who scramble
along contentedly and somewhat
clumslly with small portfolio, part of
bureau drawer, or an old atlas, in
which 10 keep their correspondence,
their paper and pens. Every one has
been in houses where the request for
writing materials occasoned search
all over the house for the family ink
stand and the family supply OF paper.
Such houses, however, do not IN these
days exist in cities, says Harper's
BaSa1, where very much of the com
merce of life must needs be carried on
by notes. A society woman's day be-
gins with the reading of and replying
to her manv correspondents missives.
A we'll furnished writing desk, with
paper of different sizes, envelopes to
match, sealing wax, stamps and all of
the. dainty accessories of the writing
table, is something no woman can
afford to do without. When possible,
the residence, street and number, per.
haps the town, or the name of the
house, Off 1t possesses pretty indi-
vidual name), should be stamped at
the top of the page. If monogram
is preferred, or the family coat-ot-arms
and motto, these may be placed at the
top of the page, and the address may
be engraved on the outside of the en-
velopes. "Plne Hurst" coax Ridge"
"The Lcwlands," etc, look very
charming when engraved on the family
note paper. The family crest is more
pretentious, but carries some weight.
The best paper for ordinary use is
plain white, whether rough or smooth,
thick or thin, depending on the taste of
the writer, and depending also on the
sort OF pen she habitually uses. Few
fountain pens glide easily over rough
surface, and if these convenient imple-
ments are used, then the lady should
select smooth paper to suit them

THE DEATH RATE,
Mortality of the Sexes Comparsd-The
Supply of Women.

Although woman has been deprived
of so many rights and privileges, she
has at least the advantage of man as
regards longevity; she suffers less from
accidents. injuries and many forms of
diseases; she Is, in TACT, more tenacious
than man of the limited enjoyments
allowed her. DR.. Brandreth Symonds
has collected and studied large num-
Der of statistics to illustrate this inter-
esting fact (American Journal of the
Medical Sciences). The comparative
mortality of the sexes at different ages
shows that in the first year of life the
mortality OF the female is much less
than that of the male, being at birth
92.64 per 1000 as against 1880, and
at the end of the year, S1SS as against
35.o9. This difference continues up
to the fourth year.
From five to twelve the female NOR
tality is greater than that of the male,
being at the latter period $50 for
males, and 428 for females. At the
age of forty six the male mortality
equals that of the female, the latter
ha"sng heen uD to this time slightly in
excess. During the years rorty SIX 20
fifty SIX, the period of the climacteric,
the male mortality gains rapidly on the
female, being 6.s2 per annum for the
one and only 3.47 for the other.
Hence, the climacteric Is really a much
more serious time for man than for wo-
man. After fifty six the female mortality
gains on that Of the male, but is always
slightly below 1t. Woman has not
only less mortality and a greater
longevity than man, but there is accord
ing to DR.. Symonds, plurality of
female births. though the contrary view
is usually held. Nature seems deter
mined to keep up full supply OF
women, a condition which, it is sug-
gested, may be the result of the poly.
gamous habits of the primeyal man.

INHERITED RIGHT HTHANDEDNESS,
A PecuIiarity OF the Human Race Winch
has Been Studied by a Professor.

Professor J. Mark Baldwin, OF Prince
ton University, has been permorming a
series of experiments upon one of his
children with a view to finding the
origin Of right-handedness. There is
no apparent scientific reason why a
man should use one hand any more
than another, or why the muscles of
one arm should be stronger than those
of the other.
A number of theories have been
advanced to account for the phenon-
enon. One of the most plausible
according to the St. Louis Post Dis
Patch, is that people become right
handed from the manner in which they
are held and carried when small chill
dren. The mother carries the child in
such way as to leave Its right hand
free, and from this early experience
the habit is acquired which runs
through its whole life. 1t is also a
curious fact that the observation of
animals fails to show an uneven devel-
opment of the muscles or limbs on one
side of the body as compared with
those on the other. Monkeys espec-
tally are known 10 swing freely by both
arms equally well, although this is a
point that Professor Garner might we'll
have studied in the jungles OF Africa.
The experiments made by Professor
Baldwin, of Princeton, extended over a
period OF many months, beginning
while the child was an infant. This,
however, was only in regard to objects
placed at some distance from the body
of the child, and where it has to reach
out for them. When objects we're
placed near the child it used both hands
equally. More than one thousand
experiments of this kind were tried by
Prof. Baldwin, and when the objects
reached for were near its body it used
both hands about an equal number of
times. In stretching out, however, it
almost invariably used its right hand.
From this he argued that the tendency
is inherited. Left handed children
are, it is said. generally descended
from left handed mothers or fathers.
Those that are right handed learn to
shake hands more easily than left han.
ded children, who have to stretch their
arms across their body in an awkward
fashion to perform the act. Professor
Baldwin thinks that the right handed
function has some connection with the
power Of speech. They both belong
in the same lobe of the brain, and
before child learns to speak, it has
been observed that It endeayors to
express emotions with its hands. There
are some people who are neither left
nor right handed, but who can use both
hands equally well, even in writing, the
muscles On either arm being the same
| size.

THIS WILL CAUSE TROUBLE.
British and Portuguese Forces on zambesi In
Africa. Have Serious Encounter.

PoRT NATAL, Africa, March "A sell
Gus encounter between Portuguese soldiers
and British sailors occurred near Tete, on
the Zambesi. British parties constructing
a telegraph line between the British sphere
and Tete, capital of the Portuguese govern
ment, were recently greatly obstructed by
the Portuguese. and finally Commander
Carr of the British grnboat Mosquito, was
sent up river to protect the workmen. The
Mosquito landed party of sailors and they
were promptly fred upon by the Portu-
guese. The sailors returned the fire, with
what result the reports do not state.
The latest reports are that Governor

FIRE AT BANGOR.
Narrow Escape Of Bangor
House from Destruction.
Good Work Of Firemen Stopped the
Blaze with Slight Loss.
The Fire Caught in The Attic from Some Un-
known Cause.

BANGOR, March There was a narrow
escape from bad fl at the Bangor house,
this evening. A blaze started in the atti"
and burned down through the ceiling of b
room occupied by help be fore it was dis
covered. Two fire alarms were rung in,
which brought out nearly the entire depart
ment. Mayor Beal, owEer of the hotel,
fought the flames till the fremen arrived,
ith the assistance of others.
Smoke poured through the roof, and it
looked at one time as though the top sto-
res woull be in flames. Good work by the
firemen finally exsingui,hed the fire. l.
is not known what caused it. The exact
loss cannot be told. Several rooms in the
top story were somewhat damaged and the
loss may possibly reach $1,000.
