scription came near causing serious
trouble. The direction for the third day
would be likely of course to make any
one pause to consider what was meant
by the whole, but. if that last direction
had not been given it would have been
easy for some people 10 interpret the
directions as "Take three pills every
hour during the first dSy and two pills
every hour during the second day.
What was meant of course, was that
three pills were to be taken on the
first day, one pill at a time, with an
hour between every pillS two pills on
hour bewteen each, and one pill only on
the third day.
But there certainly was danger in the
directions to people who were either not
quick to grasp point or we've careless
in following the whole meaning. Sup
pose, for instance, some one had under
taken to read the directions on the in
stallment plan, SO to .speak-that is,
suppose he had thought Sufficient to
the day is the evil thereof-and had.eon-
sidered that it would be time enough to
study the directions for the second day
when it came. Then he might have
taken three pills ever hour for twenty
four hours, and the coroner could
have done the rest.
But to be serious it is desired here to
impress upon physicians that no room
should be left for doubt as to their
meaning, and upon those who read the
directions of physicians prescriptions
that they should read the whole care
fully, and then hesitate if they are in
doubt. New YORK Tribune.

The announcement that the Lucania
and Cmpania are to be laid up for the
winter marks another step in the differ
entiation of the Atlantic traffic that has
been going on for some years The records
breakers OF the ocean of which the two
ships named are at present the chief, are,
according to the New York Times, not to
run except at the height of the season Of
pleasure travelling, when great num-
Der of people are making the voyage to
whom time is much more an object than
money, and who can afford to pay for the
highest obtainable degree of speed and
luxury. The steamers which minister
to this desire are far more costly to
operate than slower ships that are
equally safe and almost equally. comfort
able, and it is proper that the passengers
who prefer them should pay for their
preference. They are limited trains of
marine travel Next to them come the
slower ships that can be kept in service
all the year round, including those
time, and after these the freight boats,
in which the accommodation of passen-
gers is incidental to their main business,
and which may be either liners or
tramps. The summer service that is to
say, is becoming special service, like
the. summer trains for pleasure travel
On shore. Evidently steamer which is
not MEANT to make winter passage may
advantageously be differently fitted and
equipped in many respects from one that
is. We may look to see the summer
ships made capable not only of higher
speed but of greater comfort than can
be afforded in a vessel that must be
ready to encounter the Atlantic in mid
winter. The luxuries the summer ships
provide may become costlier than ever,
while it is likely that the cost of voy-
age on steamersof the second class will
be consi ierably reduced as the differen-
tiation goes on

| committee of potters recently went
to Washington to induce the Ways and
Means committee to restore some of the
disastrous reduction in the proposed
tariff on crockery The delegation was
turned over to Congressman Bynum, one
OF the prominent members of the Ways
and means committee. Mr.. Bynum was
told how the pottery industry would
suffer if the tariff was cut as intended
THE only way in which we can continue
IN business" said the spokesman for the
delegation, "is by reducing the wages of
our workingmen to a pitiful point, in or
der 30 compete with foreign manufacture
ers. The trade is already anticipating
what will happen. Foreign producers
we can well suppose, will even increase
the paltry wages of their employees in
order to get out the ware to supply the
tremendous. business that will come to
them. Don't you see how it will affect
the workingman in this country"
bynum's face lightened up with smile,
and he replied: well, you fellows will
be Just as well off. The increase in
wages on the other side will be offset by
the decrease in wages in your establish
ments. You cansthen compete all right
and make money" Quick as fash one
of the delegation turned to the Congress
man and said: "Do you mean to say.
Mr.. Bynum, that the ,opject of the Will
son bill is to increase wages in Great
Britain and other countries and reduce
wages in the United States9" "That's
it," answered Bynum. The next minute
he understood what fatal admission he
had made. He bit his lip, and then said
he trusted the delegation would consider
his remarks as strictly confidential The
New York Tribune, which tells this
story says it is vouched for by one of
the gentlemen who was present at the
conference with Mr.. Bynum. How the

UNION MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
PORTLAND, MAINE. I

At this festive season of the year, a
season at which each man vies with
his neighbo in the making of some gift
to the members of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, that
the UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur-
ance should be kept in view. The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL,
and it is therefore worthy of note by
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
beneficenoe and solidity Life Policy
which will in the event of the death of
the breadwinner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. 1t does
not require any very vivid fight of
imagination to comprehend the possibili-
ties of fifty-fold return consequent up
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life
Insurance.; whereas, similar outlay up
on something more pleasing to the eye
and possibly of perishable or breakable
nature could not afford the solid and
lasting benefit to be obtained by and
through policy in the Union Mutual,
possession which no family should lack
but one which should be treasured in
every home. dec23eodtf

Probably the best course for the United

cause his government is nominally a
republic, while Mello is suspected of
desiring the restoration of the monarchy
is not entitled to much weight. Though
nominally Republic, Peixoto's govern
ment is essentially military despotism
and the setting up of monarchy would
be changing the form without changing
the substance of the government but
as matter of fact it is by no means clear
that Mello aims at re-establishing mon
