A Phiiadelpn1a Experiments.

The object lesson which the ladies of
the Health Protective association gave
the New York city authorities last win
ter when they set to work in good house,
wifely fashion and showed what their
idea of a clean street was is bearing
fruit in Philadelphia. The New York
experiment is to be repeated there by
the ladies Of the Philadelphia Health
Protective association, and the block se-
lected upon which to demonstrate what
can be done when women set about it is
Twelfth street, between Chestnut and
Walnut. On this block stands the beau
tiful clubhouse of the new Century club,
woman's organization, making it an
eminently suitable spot to bear the i'm
print of woman's love of neatness.

MAN AND NATURE.

Tho mountains, and tho forests, and rtho seas,
Oldest of mourners with pathetic tcne,
Have each natural music, all theiirown,
Set in accord with human destinies,
snd. tender, manifold. Whatis more sweet
Than woodland melodies atnoon? More mild
Than dimpled ocean, like laughing child,
Tint lisps and rolls jewel to our feet,
Rreatblessly caim2 And then, within AN hour,
Behold that selfsame ocean on tho-shore
Iashes The forest quakes with deafeninR
power.
Tho rocks are rent. Then, oh amid that

The mountains and tho forests, and the seas,
Have each their Iausic, with our mortal lot
In sympathy to soothc, ,exalt appease
And man, too, has his music; has a note
Of worldwide sweetness, tender reveries
Dirgcs Of buried blisses unforgot
Rejoicing pacana, glorious symphonies,
But ell of them lack something. They havo

Tho voice opce heard in Eden, and the ear,
Pleased with rich sound, is as when some

Calhoun and Randolph.

When John G. Calhoun became vice
president Of the United States, and con-
sequently president of the senate, he
announced that he had not the authori-
ty to call the senators to order Tor words
spoken in debate, as he regarded each
senator as an ambassador from sover-
eign state. The eccentric John Randolph
of Virginia took advantage of Mr.. CAL
houn's ruling to abuse him personally.
One day he began TRADE by saying:
"Mr. Speaker mean Mr.. President Of
the senate and would be president of
the United States, which God in his in

1t Suited Her.

They were threading their way slow
ly among the gorgeously dressed dunn
mics in the dry goods shop, stopping ev-
cry now and then to admire or criticise
and to inspect Innings and price marks.
Nothing had pleased their fastidious
fancy very much until the girl in brown
saw black serge just in front of her.
"There, Marie!" she exclaimed in
triumph That's what want. See how
that umbrella skirt hangsl See how that
coat sits in the back! The frock makes
oven lay figure distinguished. If it's
silk lined and doesn't cost too much, /

She advanced and laid inquiring
hands upon the frock, lifting the coat
to inspect the lining. Then she fell back
with little cry. 1t was not dummy,
but another customer, who turned and
faced her. New York Recorder.

A Graaa Ant of Crualtx.

Why should we be cruel to ourselves? 1t is a
piece of sen eless inhumanity, for instance
for any one to inhict upon his bowels and
stomach the convulsive. gripping, violent &C.
tion Of drastic catha rite. Many people en-
amored OF pills, powd ers and potions are con.
tinually doing this. They are only excepting
up the agony" perpetuating the disturbance
by this foolish course Why don't they take
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and get thoroughly
AMI promptly set right! This supreme laxative
never gripes, never produces violent effects of
any sort Yet it is very effective and brings
about permanent results For liver complaint,
dyspepsia, nervousness, lack of vitality, rheu-
matte and kidney complaints, 1t is eminently
serviceabe. In old age and to accelerate con.
valescence 1t is strongly to be commended.

Ran into a Horse.

This young bicy cler was one of those
who ride with the saddle high up in the
air, with the handles down almost out
of reach, with the body bumped up
like hog going to war;" as Uncle Silas
used to say, and with his eyes fixed on
the tire of his front wheel.
He was coming down Congress street.
AS he approached the telegraph pole
where the tow horse is hitched, that do
cile animal was just turning away from
the sidewalk to be driven to meet the
advancing car. The horse was pointed
across the street when the humped-up'
bicycler arrived. The front wheel went
under the horse, but the blcycler didn't.
No billy-goat exercised more forcible
blow with the top of his head than was
planted in the riLs of the astonished tow
horse by the astonished wheelman. The
former stood still, but the latter aban
doned his wheel and started for the rural
districts for safety apparently. But he
soon recovered from his fright and came
back after his bicycle, which was not
injured in the least.

The Flower Mission will distribute
flowers among the inmates of the hospi-
tails tomorrow. There was great scar
city of flowers last week, which prevent
ed the giving of separate bouquets to
the large number of benefciaries This
was in part accounted for by the near
approach of Children's Day. A special
plea is made for an abundance of flowers
tomorrow, as there will be many persons
among whom they are to be distributed.
If not convenient to carry or send the
flowers to the rooms So Oak st. on that
day, will the donors kindly leave word
at 201 Newbury street some time today
where they can be found, and they will
be called for SO far as possible. The COM
m ittee will be at the rooms, SO Oak
street. early tomorrow morning, and re-
main through the forenoon TO receive

SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.
That Caused a Portland Man Much Need
less Distress.

A few days ago Mr.. Elmer Varney, who
is employed by VIM. M. Leighton & Co.,
tailors, received postal card that start
led him. 1t was addressed to William
Leighton and said, "Cora has been
shot. Come quick" 1t was signed by a
man unknown to him. At that time
his sister Cora, wife of his employer,
was in the Rangeley region with her
husband. Of course he thought some
accident had happened to her. His faith
er and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus Var
ney, 'of Deering, were away, and he
didn't know what to do
OF course he scanned the evening pa
pers with the greatest anxiety and eager
ness. He there found that it was Cora
Leighton of Durham who had baen
shot The postal was addressed to her
father here in Portland and had been
sent to the place of business of the
wrong William Leighton. 1t was a very
singular coincidence.
Such shocks are not pleasant. and
might be disastrous to some people. The
incident strikingly shows the necessity
for the great care that is exercised by
post office officials, through mistakes
like the above do occasionally happen.

SOME OLD LAW BOOKS.
Hon. j. I'll. Drummond Secured Some in
Richmond the Other Day,

Hon.J. H. Drummond returned from
Richmond Wednesday with some his
torical treasures. He had been there
on business to see the widow of the late
B. Tolman, who died Within, the past year
aged "a years. Mr.. Tolman was lawyer
and left very valuable library, includ-
ing some very rare and ancient law
books. He was the son of Peleg Tolman,
of Bath, one of the leading citizens there
at the first of this century, representa-
tive to the General Court of Massachu-
setts and influential in town affairs.
These law books came into his sons
possession from his library.
MIR. Drummond brought to Portland
for the Historical Society two Probate
manuals. written by Samuel Freeman,
of Portland, in 1903 and 1918. He was
register and judge of Pobate here and a
leading citizen. He was the grandfather
of Hon. William Freeman Of Cherryfeld.
Another book that Mr.. Drummond
brought for himself is as old as the
hills, and as interesting as fairy
story.
1t was published in London in 17os,
and is emitted "Cowell's Law Diction-
ary." 1t is a. dictionary of law terms,
and the layman as we'll as the lawyer
can read this dictionary with interest be-
cause of the quaintness of the terms in
use by the old English barristers two
| centuries ago
For example, "Bairman" is term that
being translated, means, g. poor insol-
vent creditor left bare and naKedn

THE TERRIBLE HABIT.
Daniel w. ConIey Couldn't Leave Town AS
He Promised.

There was an unusually sad case in the
Municipal Court yesterday. The day
before Daniel W. Conley was in the dock
for drunkenness. He told such an earn
est story about his coming to Portland
from Portsmouth, where he has work,
and about the necessity of his return to
retain his work and provide for his
family, that his fine was remitted if he
would leave town that afternoon, which
he promised to do. That night he was
found drunk at the Hotel de Friel by
Officer Miles, and was before Recorder
Tompson yesterday morning. In con-
sideration of this second offense and
broken promise he was given 80 days in
Jail. He is man about 80 years of age
