When Hiram Maxim, the famous in
ventor, lived in S~angerville, anxious
mammas used to warn their hopefuls
not to play with that wicked Maxim
boy" In fact, young Maxim grew up
under the doubtful reputation of being
the very worst boy in the neighborhood
This isn't said fer the purpose Of en-
coursging any other Maine incorrigibles
who are in the depths of their misdeeds.
II Hiram had been a perfectly good lit
tie boy and had devoted his time to
studying his lessons, he might have had
that flying machine all completed by
this time.
Hiram used to work at carriage
painting in Abbot and was hired by
D. d. Flynt. He was an artist with the
brush. One day a man called to ser
Flynt while the latter was out. There
has been a man in to see you," said
young Maxim. What's his name!'
II don't know, but that's how he
looks" and the boy pointed to a board
ON which he had roughly daubed a face.
II forgot to ask him his name" said
the boy, land SO / drew that" Flynt
knew his man.-Lewiston Journal.

Railroad Assessment.

The state board OF equalization yester-
day fixed the assessment OF the Northern
Pacific railroad in Montana for taxation
purposes in 1894. The only change made
from last year was a reduction OF 1000
per mile on the Rimini branch. The
assessment on the main line was fixed at
s2,S35 per mile, divided as follows; Road
way e1OO, roadbed s4OO. rails 500 and
rolling stock sl,635. With the excep-
ton of the Rimini branch the Northern
Pacific branch lines in Montana we're
valued as follows: Roadway 800. road
bed 81 800 and rails $1,000 total $4,000
per mile. The Rimini branch assessment
was reduced from "a 200 to g 600 a mile
on account Of the company stating that
operations had been curtailed on that line
The other railroads have not yet made
their returns of property.-Independent

Making billiard Cushions.


The making Of billiard cushions 10 n
important industry, but is carried Oh
BY two or three firms alone, and while
the story of the difficulty which has
been overcome in preventing the ball
from sinking into the rubber and thuA
destroying the angle desired to be takeh
Is an interesting one it has been told
before and will not be repeated now.
In the early days of the industry the
manufacturer employed valve rubber
and obtained a much better price for 1t
when it was worked up into the cush'
ion.
Then the cushion maker set his wits
to work to get the valve rubber cheap
", but in those days it was strongly
held, and none was allowed to pass to
that industry unless il paid the en-
HANGED royalty. Finally the combina-
ton was broken by a firm in Pittsburg
ordering the valve rubber ostensibly for
ordinary use, but shipping it back tn
New York for the intended purpose.
So skillfuily and patiently was this
done that a great quantity was count
lated, and the valve rubber man threw
up the sponge. Now billiard cushions
are made Of nodded rubber, an evolu-
hon which came along later.-Hard'

But the device proved the means Of in

remedy, for, refining upon st. D%unstan's

to drink precisely to a peg or pin.

survey Of a route for railroad
from Lewiston to Camas Prairie.
The gurprise ia, that SO fertile a
country, one blessed with SO
many natural resouFces. should
be left aR long as it has been
without a railroad, One thing
that has been the cause of the
delay, of railroad companies, in
pushing their lines into this
country has been the fact that
Idaho county has not heen prop
erly advertised. 1t is certain
however, that our resources can
not long remain hidden from the
eyes of a business world. The
question as to the most feasible
route has engaged the attention
OF business men to no small ex-
tent, The shortest route, the
easiest grade and at the same
time a course that viii pass
through the greatest amount of
fertile land are the features
that are looked for by practical
men.
1t has been suggested TO US
by j. L. Eekert that the big can
