Somebody has issued the following
advice to the drinker: One gallon of
whiskey costs about three dollars, and
contains on the average sixty-tiye
ten-cent drinks. Now, if you must
drink whiskey, buy gallon, and
make your wife the bar keeper; then
when you are dry give her ten cents
for a drink. When the whiskey Is
gone she will have, after paying for
it, $3.50 left, and every gallon there.
after will yield the same profit. This
money she should put away in the
savings bank, SO that when you have
become an inebriate, unable to support
yourself, and Stunned and despised
by every respectable person, she may
have money enough to keep you, until
your time comes to fill a drunkard's
grave.-Union Signal.

The elephant Man"

The person whose name will 60 into the
book that will some time be compiled on
"Curiosities Respecting Human Beings"
as the elephant man" died in a London
hospital in the early part of the year 1890
The poor fellow was afflicted with two Of
the most terrible diseases known to the
physicians and urgeons-overgrowt of
the bones and humorous excrescences of
the skin. Two enormous bony outgrowths
developed ON his forehead, and later on
che bones of the upper jaw, nose, right
arm and both feet grew to gigantic pro-
portions. The skin disease caused great
faplike masses Of flesh to hang from diff
ferent portions of his body, particularly
from the face and head. The nose was
the facial feature upon which the disease
seemed to have taken special spite, the
overgrowth of bone, flesh and skin caus-
ing it to hang down SO as to give the man
very repulsive, elephantine appearance
Just before his death, the head, which had
been increasing in size with wonderful ra-
pidity for about four years, attained such
proportions that the neck could no longer
hold it erect. During the whole of the
last year of his life he slept in a crouching
position, with his hands clasped around
his legs and his enormous head resting on
his knees and arms.-St. Louis Repu bile.

Ducks In England.

An American woman who is married to
an English squire of high degree tells the
following funny story of the fate OF hall
a dozen canvasback ducks which she had
sent to England as a present to her moth
er-in-law: The latter was an excellent
housekeeper and had professed herself to
be anxious to taste the renowned trans
atlantic dainty which she heard so ex
travagantly praised. Carefully packed in
ice. the game arrived in good condition,
and Lady M, the recipient, invited
couple of friends to partake OF the much
vaunted delicacy.
Clancy my feelings" said the pretty
American, describing the affair afterward,
"when pail of ducks were brought on
the table done to death and stuffed with
onions, sage and potatoes, while my IA
Their in-law, carefully carving up the en-
tire bird--Iegs, wings and all-dlistr1b-
uted the portions to party of six! I could

reached when, after enduring disappoint-
ed and disappearing looks on the part OF
the guests, my belle mere remarked, i
must say, Margaret, that 1 rather prefer

the atrocious cooking and stupid carving
that had spoiled the chief OF all game

and they had to be disposed of, and the

the others were actually ended up in a

The matchless rose Of dawn, unclose,
And on the pure, illumined air,
Like graceful tracery penciled there,
Each twig and spray and stem 1T shows.
With amber lights their darkness CLOVIS
Against the flushing hillside SHOWS.
And icy gems among them flare

The molten gold of sunset flows.

Across this world Of whiteness, where

THE FIELD OF SPORTS.


MICE. Burnell, the Deering meat
man, who lives near the Presumpscot
river, is an ardent hunter and has
utilized his spare hours the past winter
shooting rabbits. He has two good dogs
and has shot SO rabbits in the Immediate
| neigh borhood of his home. He sold
them all for 20 cents apiece. He is now
on the lookout for ducks that are begin
ming to fly along the river, and no doubt
his customers will soon have an occas-
ional opportunity to purchase such a
delicacY from him.
The seven or eight young Portland
men who had feet of many birch and
canvas canoes on the Stroadwater river
last summer are already looking in that
direction with longing eyes and waiting
for the ice to break up, which it gener-
ally does about April first. One has al
ready begun to polish the bottom of his
canoe, which is taking up good deal of
room in the cellar. There has been
talk among them of forming canoe
club very soon and building convenient
landing at the Mill pond, where the
canoes are kept IN bne ola sai6 inlIl, anu
where the trips up river began. There
are some new men eager to be .canoeists
on this beautiful stream, within horse
car ride of the city, and the club should
number at least dozen members.
