NEW NERVE REMEDY.
The valuable Discovery of a westbrook
Physician


There has long been sought an effect
i've and harmless remedy for diseases OF
the nervous system and the brain among
the best physicians of the country. We.
learn that Westbrook physician has ap-
parently been successful in making the
discovery of such remedy. and that 1t
has stood some very severe tests; so sue
cessful were the trials that syndicate of
Portland and Westbrook citizens organ
lied company and secured the right to
offer the remedy to the public, and will
call it Vitalized Nerve and Blood Tonic.
So convinced are they of the success OF
the remedy that they enclose with each
bottle bank check which the purchaser
can cash after purchasing the remedy if
it fails to afford him the expected relief
They have been quietly at work for sew
eral months introducing their remedy,
and we learn that while they have sold
several thousand bottles that less than
one per cent of their checks have been
returned, while they have had numerous
voluntary letters praising the compound.
1t certainly seems fair and business
like method, and we wish them every
success in their efforts. We shall watch
the result of the introduction of this
remedy with considerable interest, and
if successful medicine of the sort has
been discovered the PRESS will only be
too glad to give it the endorsement it de-
serves, and congratulate our readers up
on the fortunate discovery, and that it
was the work of a Maine physician.

OBITUARY..
Mrs. Eliza Quincy Goodenow.


Mrs. Goodenow, widow of the late
William Goodenow, Esq, passed away
In the early morning of Tuesday, the
27th inst, from the sleep of exhausted
nature to the sleep whose waking is to
Immortality, having almost completed
her ninety-sixth year.
So long life. covering period of
momentous history. whether of the
nation, state or city, is very impressive
1t implies peculiar share that need not
be dwelt upon, of vast and varied expert
ences belonging to the life of society in
general.
But to Mrs. Goodenow, her home was
the sanctuary of her soul. 1t was not
merely her home, but home in FULLER
sense-open to all her kindred at all
seasons and dispensing kindness and
charity to such as honestly appealed to
her for help. it was here that her inno-
cency of life, purity of purpose, and
affecitonate devotion to the welfare of
others, made modest and memorable
record-one worthy of the ruling tradi-
tions of her race, as we'll AS of the imme-
date influences under which she grew
up.
Those who knew Mrs. Goodenow well
are likely to see something of her like
ness in some lines addressed to her on
the ninetieth anniversary of her birth
day:
Sure length of days must mean the
spirits peace:
Not tickle fortunes agitated sea.
Not anxious looking out for what's to
Nor DARK regret at life's so sure decrease;
But round of gentle cares with sleeps
surcease,
Calm, tender thoughts of friends no
longer seen,
Far and deep memories of what has
been,
Sign of how soul survives the body's
lease.
'Tis so thy face. touched now by ninety
years,
Makes June of April, as we hail thy
day;
Fresh summer airs without springs
frown or tears
Breathe DER the land where faithful
pilgrims stay
Waiting the call that ends brief hopes or
fears,
And entrance gives where life cannot
decay.

Francis Witham of East Deering, who
died Monday afternoon at his home, en-
listed in the navy at the outbreak of the

years old and leaves wife and one

that his economy had resulted in his con

Less Work, More Play.

Twentieth century people will proba-
bly, begin to perceive what those of the
nineteenth never have recognized-the
real meaning of labor saving machinery.
If a machine is invented that will make
a hundred hats in the same time and
with the same amount Of labor that one
was made before, does that mean that the
halter shall 60 on heaping up mountains
of hats breathlessly till he gluts the
market, working as many hours day
as he did before? No, it does not.
1t means that he shall work just SO
many hours as are required to make hats
enough for men to wear, and that he
shall recreate himself or do something
else the rest of the day. Wages are moi
lowered any, though productive indus
try is hundredfold more efficient thar
it was century ago. The workman now
gets perhaps third more money fol
making 20 hats in the same time that he
used to make one.
We do not work so many hours as oul
ancestors did, but we do twice as much
as they did. The lesson is plain. The
time thus gained should be utilized fol
advancing the individual in the ways Of
culture, wisdom, health and refinement
Thus and in no other way will the race
have leisure to grow wise, gentle, healthy
and beautiful

The fashionable flower is now the or
child. This is partly because of its rare
and wonderful beauty, but more particu-
larly because it is SO, costly that common
people cannot afford it. Now that it
commands SO high price. though, flo
rists will at once build houses for its cul-
ture. It is not so difficult to rear. In a
year or two everybody will be wearing
orchids in his buttonhole; then the -Four
Hundred will discard it, and down will
go the price. There is one comfort, how
ever. for us who are of the people-a
comfort which is at the same time the
despair of the ultra fashionable. It is
that every good thing must come to us.
The extremely swell set are on a dead
strain all the time to get some garment
or devise some amusement we cannot
share. We, on the contrary, quietly ac-
cept if we like them, and as soon as we
can afford them the modes that have
cost them SO much thought and money.
But if we do not like these modes, we let
them alone, not being bound to gallon
along in the van of fashion. We have
the best of it.

Young People on the Farm.

II is certain that the extraordinary
trend of human life from the country to
the city will soon stop by the natural
law of supply and demand If it is not
otherwise checked. The cities are al
ready overcrowded to starvation, while
in all the older states farmhouse after
farmhouse is found empty and abandon
ed to bats and owls. People Of extraor-
binary capabilities are wanted every
where who, wherever they slight, can
make place for themselves. But the
problem is for just the good, we'll mean
ing, ordinary people to find foothold
in the struggle for life.
Much-almost everything, in truth
depends on their own will power. A man
can never be finally downed in life's bat
tie unless he himself first gives down in
his own mind. But the average man or
woman has no such will power, though
anybody can cultivate it. 1t is plain that
something ought to be done to lessen the
tide of human life that ceaselessly flows
from country to city. 1t can be done by
making farm life more attractive and re-
munerative to young people. The person
who cannot earn living in the country
is sure not to be able to do so in the city.
Ways can. be and must be devised to
make farming pay better and make farm
life more social and attractive.
Rev. E. P. Powell believes the problem
can be solved by changing the course of
study in farm children's schools. Itnow
tends too much toward the old scholastic
ideas of education. Mr.. Powell believes
that knowledge of geology is one of the
first branches the farm child should be
taught. Acknowledge of the composition
of the ground which his father plows and
of the rocks about which he plays will
attach him to the soil with living inter
est. Chemical, geological and geological
laboratories ought to be connected with
every country schoolhouse.
The knowledge of zoology will make
the farm child eagerly seek the acquaint-
ance of the birds, beasts and insects all
around him. He will look on them with
new, loving eyes. A knowledge of the
use of mechanical tools, thorough
course in manual training, will unlock
treasures for him of which under the old
style of schooling he had little concep-
ton. His whole brain will be frightened
up, and the result will be that it will
come to him in time how to make the
farm nav

gave statistics Of its enormous cost,

tor which we have no space. He con-
cluded his remarks as follows;
The liquor traffic, strong as it appears
with its millions Of capital is but a pigmy
compared to the strength of the church
of Christ, who, If they only would, could
stem the tide Of destruction and as long
as the church universal closes its eyes,
just so long will the work of destruction
go on. "Seest thou not what they do in
the cities of Judah and in the streets Of
Jerusalem ?" You ought to see It, "Is

A new kind Of elevated road has been
proposed for crowded cities. 1t is car
track placed over the sidewalk and level
with the second story windows, thus TAX
ing the car tracks out of the street. Thus
there would be more room for vehicles
drawn by horses, and the danger of cable
and electric cars running over pedestri-
ans would become nothing. The adapta-
ton of electricity as motive power has
developed this scheme.
