Hiram nTaxim's Youth.

When Hiram Maxim, the famous in
ventor, lived in Sangerville, 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 for the purpose of en-
coursging any other Maine incorrigibIes
who are in the depths of their misdeeds.
If Hiram had been 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 man called to see
Flynt while the latter was out. "There
has been a man in to see you," said
young Maxim. whats his name?''
''I don't know, but that's how he
looks" and the boy pointed to board
on which he had roughly daubed a face.
81 forgot to ask him his name" said
the boy, "and so drew that. 4" Flynt
knew his man.-Lewiston Journal.

Arsenic In wall Paper.

1t is generally known that arsenic en-
ers into the coloring Of many kinds Of
sheap wall papers, and some of the bet
Yer grades also, writes ~. p. Pond in The
Ladies' Home Journal. These are gem
srally but not always of hues in which
green predominates and are very injuri-
1us to health. The first symptoms of
arsenical poisoning are headache, pains
in the eyes at the back Of the pupil, itch
ing and generally nausea of the stomach,
all of which are liable to be the result Of
living in a room with wall paper on the
walls which is impregnated with arsenic.
A simple but efficient test will imme-
aiately locate the presence Of the min
eral, and every housewife should have
the necessary knowledge. Take small
piece of the suspected paper and lay it
in a watch glass or in porcelain spoon.
Pour over it enough solution of house
hold ammonia to cover it, let it stand a
few minutes and then drop in a piece Of
nitrate of silver Qunar or stick caustic)
and if a yellow precipitate forms as it
dissolves there is arsenic present, and the
paper should be rejected. If the nitrate
Of silver dissolves without yellow ap-
pearing, there is no arsenic, and no trou-
bic need be apprehended.

Women as Farmers.

California boasts of number of wora-
en- farmers who manage large estates,
make money and keep healthy and hap
py. The comforts of farm life here are
greater than they are in the east, and
there is possibility of gaining more
than mere living. Some of the wom-
EN- farmers have won more than mere
local fame. Mrs. Theodosia Shepherd
of Ventura is known in the east as a
cultivator of California flower seeds and
bulbs. Mrs. Strong is known far and
wide as the woman who makes good
income by raising and selling pampas
grass. Mrs. E. ?. Buckingham of Va
caville is an orchardist whose fruit
commands the highest price in eastern
markets.
Another successful agriculturist is
Mrs. Georgia Mcbride. A dozen years
ago she was an invalid, widow, poor,
with four boys to bring up. She knew
nothing of fruit raising, but with fem
inine recklessness she purchased SO acres
Of land near San Joso and set it out as
an orchard. New she is prosperous,
healthy and wealthy. as the wage earn
ers go, and an enthusiastic advocate of
farming for women.-San Francisco

Save the Forests,

Some years ago the government OF
Bavaria sent skilled forester to study
the conditions of timber growth in the
United States. While here he made the
remark, as if speaking of matter gen.
orally known and accepted:
"In 90 years you will have to import
your timber, and as you will probably
prefer American kinds we shall begin to
grow them, in order to be ready to send
them to you at the proper time"
What an instance of scientific fore
thought, and withal what warning!
Perhaps it is not yet too late to grow
on our own lands the timber we shall
need generation or two hence, but If
we are to do so it is time to take rigor-
GUS steps to stop reckless forest destruc'
tion and to encourage scientific cultiva-
tion.
While our government sells outright
its forest lands for 90. so an acre, France
obtains almost exactly the same sum
yearly from each acre Of its forest land
by sales of timber. We spend our cap
ital; France makes an income, and
safeguards its capital.
Palissy, the famous French potter,
who was wise in other things as well
as in porcelain, declared that the neg
lect of forests in his day was mot g
mistake, but calamity and curse fol

learned the lesson. When will our'

Cation Gins.

Some recent improvements in cotton
gins are claimed to insure much great
er economy and efficiency than have
hitherto been attained, the difficulty be-
ing now overcome of obtaining the full
length Of the various staples on account
of the machinery in use tearing the lint
before the parting of the entire length
of the fiber from the rollers. AS now
improved, the machine is so constructed
as to allow all changes for meeting
these various lengths in staples to be
made without even having to stop the
operator from his work, whereas the
gin now in use not only nscessitates the
stopping of the machine, but requires
great amount Of timedn which to effect
the change. Another Improvement in
this machine IS an Appliance in connec-
ton with the inner blade, consisting of
a spring which allows it to give when
the pressure Of cotton passing through
the roller is too severe, thus preventing
the inner and outer blades from coming
in contact with each other. The.great
wear of the roller is by this means saved.

SOME OLD TIME GAMES.
Many of the Present Day Sports Were Boz
rowed From the Past.

Many OF the Present Day Sports We're Bor-
rowed From the Past.
1t is curious to note how some of the
games of the early ages have been hand
ed down to the present time. The game,
for instance, known to most of as as
odd and even was also favorite with
the young Egyptian, and many Of the
little counters that he used are still
preserved in the British museum. There
is also the game of drafts, which was
played on a checkered board in the earli-
est times. The poor children were con-
tent with craftsmen and boxes made Of
rough pieces of clay, but the richer ones
usually had beautifully carved iron
headed craftsmen and boxes.
The young Greeks, too,. were we'll
provided with toys and games for their
amusement. The toys were chiefly dolls
made of baked clay, the. arms and legs
being jointed with string, and there
fore movable. They had a favorite game
called Chytriand, which has been pre-
served through many ages, and is now
played by boys of today under the well
known name of puss in the corner. In
France the game is called quatre coins,
or four corners. Both in the old game
and in the modern version five players
are required, one occupying each Of the
corners, while the fifth player stands
in the middle. In ancient Greece he
wore an earthen pipkin on his head and
was called pot; in France at the pres
ent day he is the nigaud, or simpleton,
and by us is called puss.
To guess the number of fingers anoth-
er held up was also a favorite amuse-
ment, and this, too, is frequently play
ed at the present time. So you see how
ments and the playthings Of the very
early ages has been maintained in the
toys and games in use today.-New-

A HYpNorIzINe SERMON.

Frank Wilson Faiis Asleep In Church and
sIumbers sixty Hours.
Frank Wilson attended the Hemenway
Methodist church at Evanston Sunday
night and fell asleep while the pastor,
Rev. @. e. Wilkinson, was preaching.
He did not thoroughly awaken until
Wednesday morning at $3.50 o'clock.
Drs. Palmer and Gray worked over the
unconscious man the greater part OF
Sunday night without avail. When Will
son awoke, aside from slight weakness
he said he felt as well as ever.
Wilson is about 25 years old and is a
student in the Garrett Biblical institute,
Evanston. He is of slight build and Of
fair complexion, and of late has been
complaining Of not feeling well. He and
LARRY Boyes, another student, went to
church together. Shortly after the pas
tor began speaking Wilson's eyes closed,
and his head dropped on his companions
shoulder. He was apparently sound
asleep. Boyes, knowing that Wilson had
not been feeling well and thinking that
on account of the excessive heat in the
church he had become faint, did not at
tempt to arouse him. After the congre-
cation had passed out at the close Of the
service he tried to awaken his compan-
ion. Repeated shakings seemed to make
no impression on the sleeper, and DR..
Palmer, who was present, advised that
Wilson be carried out to the fresh air. He
was Immediately taken outside and given
q vigorous rubbing and restoratives ad-
ministered.
AT one time during the operation Will
son appeared to be regaining conscious
ness. and opening his eyes said: whats
the matter2 Where am II" Then he
went back into comatose condition.
Seeing that the case was Of a serious ma
ture, DR.. Palmer called a cab, and the
young man was taken to his room at DR..
Gray's home. Here both physicians con-
tinued to work over him. All Sunday
night Wilson's respiration was low, but
regular, and his pulse at times was very
feeble. He came out Of his unconcious-
ness naturally and now appears to be
all right. Neither DR.. Gray nor DIR.
Palmer can give any explanation of Will
sons long sleep. They do not think that
any serious results will ollow.-Chicago
