Lord 1883. He lived in the reign of ten
kings and queens of England, died the
18th and was buryed in Westminster
abbey on the 18th of November, 1885.
The inscription on brass, in neat
oak frame, of course proves nothing
though it may well date from the mid
die of the seventeenth century. Its most
attractive feature is the neatly enXrav

long and straight, and his eyebrows are
handsomely arched

John Dnross is young and enterpris-

with the genter sex, but until a few
weeks ago had withstood all their blan-
dishments. Finally, however, he &C.
knowledged himself whipped and pro-
posed This is tho way he did it.
He bought house and lot one morn
ing, and in the afternoon took the fu-
ture Mrs. Duross for a drive.

whether she had two gowns or two

And so, after great deal of arguing,
compromise on four weeks time was
effected.
That evening Duross related the CIR

wound up by saying:

Japan Ahead of China.

Japan, in spite of her mistakes, stands
for light and civilization. Her institu
tions are enlightened. Her laws, drawn
by European jurists, arc equal to the
best we know, and they are justly ad.
ministered. Her punishmonts are hu-
name. Her scientific and sociological
ideas are our own. China stands for
darkness and savagery. Her science is
ludicrous superstition; her law is bar
barous; her punishmonts are awful; her
politics are corruption; her ideals are
isolation and stagnation.
In thousands Of Yamens throughout
China men are tortured every day, hung
up by the thumbs, forced to kneel upon
chains, beaten with heavy bamhoos,
their ankles cracked. their limbs broken.
Every week men are publicly orucifed
and hacked to death by the Thousand
cuts" How is anybody to desire the ex-
tension of the sway of the latter rather
than that of the former without avow-
ing himself n partisan of savagery2-

A young man strobe into The Astcr

ture.
"Well, what's up with the old chap
anyway" he remarked to his friend.

upward, three steps at time, followed
by the gasping porter, who finally lay
prone on the stone staircase frantically
holding on to the vanishing coattails.
Come back" he pleaded. now in
plaintive tones, come back and read
the notice. You'll see daren't let you
pass with that book. I'll lose my place
if you re seen with it. Do, sir, please
come back.
Tho notice is to the effect that all
books carried into the library are to be
left in tho porter charge and called for
on coming out. Tho idea is to prevent
readers walking off with books of the
library. II without one coming in and
with one going out, it's easy to know
they're appropriating library property,
Before the making of this rule numer
GUS books were removed, rs it was not
easy to accost reader and demand
whether or not a book in his possession
was his own or other peoples property.
''See here, said the aggrieved youth,
shying his book onto the porter's table,

Floral Emblem.

Mr.. Editor;
There seems hut little interest as yet
taken by correspondence in the National
flower as garland. Why not express our
minds while the matter is before US
The pine cone and tasse has some
objections. The stem or stock must be
large and bungling to put in bottle or
vase. The cone is top-heavy. 1t is very
hard to get as none but large trees
have them, and then they have very
sticky pick both in wood and cone
There is not one leading characteristic in
its favor as a flower. The apples bios
som is with an admirable stem but at
hest cannot be kept, and only few
days in whole year, can be had. We
may as well not have any as one of sc
short duration.
Now II a Floral Emblem, only to rep
resent something universal and beauti.
full in Maine, in the National garland is
all, then the pine cone, is very proper
but not as flower.
AS National flower the goldenrod, is
altogether the most beautiful. 1t has
proper qualities and nothing objections
able. Its attractions, duration and
name awards for it the first preference.

A Solution.
Editor OF Reporter:

Editor OF Reporter:
| notice in the last number of voui
paper problem submitted by your
IIartland correspondent and asking a
solution of the same through the col
umns of the REPORTER. To think that
a problem so simple as this, that any
scholar who had advanced in his Arith-
metic through square root, should be
discussed at length by the Portland
Transcript and various answers adduced'
does not speak very well for the mathe-
NAUTICAL triining of those interested.
1t is evident that the s cornors Of n
cube inscribed in a sphere, will touch the
sphere and 1t Is also evident that Il line
drawn from one of the upper corners of
the cube to its opposite lower corner
will pass through the center of the
sphere and therefore is equal to the
diameter Of the sphere or 20 inches.
This diameter forms the hypothenuse OF
ii right angled triangle of which the
height is the side of the cube and the
base diagonal between any two lower
corners of the cube. This diagonal Is
also the hypothenuse of a right angled
triangle whose base and perpendicular
are each side of the cube and of course
are equal.
AS in all right angled triangles, the
square of the longest side is equal to the
sum of the square of the other two
sides, it is evident that the square of
this diagonal is twice the square of one
of the sides of the cube, so also the
square of this diagonal and the square
of one of the sides of the cube dts
height) is equal to the square of the
diameter of the sphere. Hence the
square of the diameter equals three
times the square of a side of cube.
II 3 times the square of a side of the
cube is equal to the square of 20, or 400,
then the square of one side of the cube
is one third of 400, or l33.333333x and
the side of the cube, or answer required,
is equal to the square root of this num-
Der, or l.541 inches.
Please give us something hard.

One Of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
is the measure of its digestibility. Half

ishing, as regards its mere composition.
than half a pound of beef, but while the
beef will be easily digested and thus be
of vast service to us the cheese is put
out of court altogether for ordinary
folks by reason of its indigestibility.

another in respect to their chemical

An interesting question arose at the

Ia regard to the value of the National
Guard in case of labor riot in one of
our manufacturing cities. Many of the
officers hold the opinion that it would be
inadvisable to use the local militia
against their fellow workmen in the
labor unions. They suggested that 10
such an emergency companies from
neighboring cities be called upon to quell
the riot and the local companies be sta
toned to guard public property. In this
way they would be kept of the streets,
and relieved of the only alternative of
the disregard of their duties as soldiers,
viz, to lose caste with the rank and file
of labor.

Within week no less than l6 car
loads of spruce Christmas trees have
started from Bangor, on the Maine Cen
tral en- route for Boston and New York.
In former years 1t has been the custom
to load these trees upon schooners in
Bangor and send them to Boston by
water, but now 1t has been found that q
nat car takes them with less damage to
the beauty Of the tree. 1t was a bright
idea that started the first car load Of
Christmas trees for the hub about ten
years ago.
