WARD THREE.
Mr.. zenas Thompson Consents To Be
Candidate for Alderman. 80

The Republicans Of Ward 8 are al
ready making an effort to secure for the
coming municipal election the strongest
ward ticket possible. With this end in
view it was necessary to find for candl-
date to head the ticket man who, If
nominated, can without doubt be elected.
After earnest consultation,i it was decided
that Mr.. Zenas Thompson would be the
most popular man for the Office of aldes-
man. Mr.. Thompson at first had some
doubts about allowing his name to be
used. The following petition was then
drawn up and circulated for signatures.
Those who signed it did so without So
licitation, the paper being merely passed
to them and the names being put down
without a moments hesitation. Every
Republican in the ward would have had
a chance to sign the petition, but when
it was shown to Mr.. Thompson yester-
day he said he would allow his name to
be used, and that it would not be neces-
sary to carry the paper any farther. The
petition is as follows:
Portland, January %, 1894.
Zends Thompson, Esq:
Dear Sir:-The undersigned citizens of
Ward are DESTROYS of having business

dermen this year, and believe that if you
will allow your name to be used for the
office that they can elect you. They

them to present you as a candidate for
the Board of Aldermen at the coming
caucus, and heartily pledge you their
support:

A learned German writer, recently
deceased, Herr Schultz, wrote shortly
before his death a history of cosmetics.
Herr Schultz traced the fashion, said
to survive to this day among certain
members Of the female sex, Of artif-
cially reddening the face. 1t was not
in order to appear beautiful that the
primevil savage smeared his counter
ance with red ochre, but to inspire ter.
ror to the breasts of his enemies. This
artful device probably had the desired
effect, for we are told that as the rad
died one prevailed in war they became
the favorites of the opposite sex, and
by degrees a red face came to be con.
sidered as a beauty in itself. In the
course of his treatise Herr Schultze Sc
riously affirmed that in Fiji the people
used to paint their bodies on the day
their taxes had to be paid, and tat
that day was observed rs a day OF

If found wet they should be dried by

A great many farmers battle vigor-
ously with weeds during the summer,
and when the season for the g'owth of
crops is practically over they they seem
to consider that the season for seed
growth is also over and so relax their
efforts in the matter Of weed destruc-
ton. Whatever may be the cause,
it is a fact that on the majority OF
farms the battle against weeds Is re-
Taxed in the fall, to the apparent graf
ification of the weeds, for they steal
a march on the of the land,
and set forward for the abundant fall
rains, they run up rapidly, blossom,
and in many cases perfect seed that IS
scattered broadcast. The growing
crops are benefited by the cutting down
OF the weeds during the summer sea-

off indefinitely the day Of supremacy

It's the time now to get ready for
winters cold. Are you going to let
the manure freeze in your barn next
winter? Whether it does or does not
is a pretty good test as to whether
the barn is warm enough to keep the
stock comfortable and doing its best.
Walls made wind-proof from the out
side are the most profitable, but " one
cannot get to that at once he can make
the walls very tight from the inside.
1 have just been using on roofs and
elsewhere some resinized building pa
per that costs but a trife over fifty
cents for 500 square feet. 1t is a splen-
did paper, tough and thick. At such a
price one surely has no excuse for
permitting cracks to stand open all
around his stock in the winter. 1t is
but a trifing piece of work to cover
the inside of the walls with such pa
per and hold it securely in place with
a few laths. This red paper is much
to be preferred to the old-fashioned
grayish brown paper that can hardly
be put in place without tearing. A
| dollars worth of such paper and Il
bunch of laths will save many dollars
worth of feed next winter, to say moth
ing of increased growth and productive
ness.
