vinegar.

Vinegar is fatal to many kinds OF
bacteria. We read that during the
great plague in London a couple
earned fabulous sums in nursing the
wealthy, and that their own means
of defense was swathing the lower
part of the face with cloths dipped
in strong vinegar. Some one says,
my grandmother used a gargle of
salt and pepper with vinegar for all
us children, and she didn't have to
go to a sanitary club to learn it,.
True, no doubt, a timely though
utterly empirical use of that gargle
has saved many lives.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

The Florence mining company which
has been taking out and shipping ore
for some months past have commenced
development work with a view to keep
ing the mine permanently in operation.
This is one of the best mines in the state
and has paid a dividend every sixty days
the past summer
The writer had a tramp through the
mammoth possessions of Fred Dancer,
of this valley, II day last week and was
pretty tired before he got through. The
distance is from five to seven miles and
finer meadows and more beautiful ricks
OF hay W. have never seen. Mr.. Dan
zer's alfalfa fields were of especial inter-
est. His fields on the Four Mile pla-
tcau had suffered severely from a lack
of water, but his new fields on either
bank of the North Fork were thickly
set and beautiful, and if they do not
winter-kill will be beauties next season
and 10 mistake.

Lemons.

Wash lemons before using, for if
not thoroughly cleaned the tiny
black specks n the rinds are very
likely to become an ingredient of the
dish for which the lemons are used.
Cleanse them with a small brush
kept for the purpose; then drop them
into cold water and let them remain
there for five or ten minutes.

Mr. BROOKE Trunk.

Among the many fine traits OF Phillips
Brooks character were those of kindness,
a consideration for all and lack Of self
ishness as to his own comfort or conven-
fence. An illustration of this is given
by gentleman who was once fellow
traveller of Mr.. Brooks on a journey to
Bar Harbor.
They went by boat, changing at Rock
land in the early morning for the Mount
Desert steamer, which leaves as soon as
possible after the arrival of the Boston
boat. Mr.. Brooks baggage consisted OF
small travelling bag and steamer
trunk. On landing at Rockland he look
ed about for an expressman to transfer
the trunk to the next wharf, only short
distance.
The only man there who seemed at all
inclined to earn quarter was lame and
had sort of wheelbarrow, in which he
assured Mr.. Brooks he could easily man.
age the small trunk.
Mr.. Brooks looked at the poor cripple
for a moment, and then handing him the
bag said: ''All right. You just run along
with this bag, and I'll manage the trunk" "
And taking the steamer trunk by grasp
on the strap he walked toward the Bar
Harbor boat, followed by the lame man,
who was glad to earn his money SO east
ly, but was not aware that the gentle
man carrying the trunk was Phillips
Brooks. Youth's Companion.

s,lcil compiuat. ons of letters as Cupsup-
tic and Mooselookmegantic, to say moth
ing of Seabago, Memphremagog and
Pushac Muskellunge and bass and perch
as we'll as brook and lake trout and saIm-
on are to be found in some OF the
Maine waters, and no doubt pickerel,
pike and other varieties, though the pro-
fessional writers of Maine angling do
not deign to say anything about such
plebeian fish as those last named.
All through the New England states
mentioned the greatest pains have been
taken to make good fishing perma-
nency, and with great success, but In
the minds of some their waters are not
such desirable fishing grounds as those
in which black bass are the chief fish.
New Jersey and New York furnish ex-
cellent bass fishing, as well as some
trout fishing that is not to be sneezed at
bv any means, and the man who has
hooked the gamy bass from the pellucld
depths of Hopatcong and Greenwood
lakes in Jersey and trout in the Adiron-
dacks is as partial to his favorite fishing
places as are those who angle In New
England. There is fine sport to be had,
too, in the st. Lawrence, and all along
the chain of the great lakes from the
Thousand islands to Duluth.
Pennsylvania is a fisherman heaven,
too, as every one knows, and, in fact,
there is good fishing in every state and
territory in the Union, to say nothing OF
Canada, some of whose lakes and streams
are almost overlooking with finny beau
ties. At this time of the year, when the
open season is begun or about to begin
everywhere, the number of happy fisher
men who are taking prizes from the
streams and lakes must be very large.
You and I, reader, wish them all every
success and sufficient invention to tell
good stories Of their achievements wheth-
er they catch many fish or not, since
more anglers regulations undoubtedly
depend on we'll conceived, we'll related
yarns than on actual strings Of fish.
The late Seth Green, who was called
the Father of the Fishes because OF his
efforts, which were successful, in the d1-
rection of scientific fish culture, used to
say that of all fish native to the fresh
waters Of America none was of better
flavor than the generally despised bull

Some Railway Mapmaking.

''This won't d." said the general
passenger agent in annoyed tones to the
map maker 81 want Chicago moved
down here half an inch, so as to come
on our direct route to New York. Then
take Buffalo and put it little farther
from the lake.
You've got Detroit and New York
on different ATTITUDES, and the impress
sion that that is correct won't help our
road.
"And, man, take those two lines that
compete with US and make 'em twice as
crooked as that. Why, you've got one
of 'em almost straight.
''Yank Boston over a little to the
west and put New York little to the
west, so as to show passengers that our
Buffalo division is the shortest route to
Boston
when you've done all these things
I've said, you may print 10, 900 copies
but, say, how long have you been in
the railroad business, anyway" -New

Bastien Lepage's First Successful Picture
Was an Advertisement.
The great French painter, Bastlen
Lepage, was pursued by unmerciful dis
aster through his youth in his efforts to
study art. His mother worked in the
fields to keep that sickly boy at school.
At Is he went to Paris alone, starved
for seven years, painted without success,
but still painted. He had just finished
a picture to send to the salon when Paris
was besieged, and he rushed with his
comrades to the trenches.
On the first day a shell fell into his
studio and destroyed his picture, and
another shell fell at his feet, wounding
him. He was carried home and lay Ill
and idle for two years. Then he re-
turned to Paris, and, reduced to abso-
Lutte want, painted cheap fans for a liv-
ing. One day manufacturer of some
patent medicine ordered picture from
him to illustrate its virtues. Lepage,
who was sincere, gave his best work to
the advertisement. He painted land
scape in the April sunlight. The leaves
of tender green quivered in the breeze;
a group of beautiful girls gathered
around a fountain from which the elixir
of youth sprang in bubbling stream.
Lepage believed there was real merit in
it.
"Let me offer it at the salon." he
asked his patron.
The manufacturer was delighted.
"But first paint a rainbow arching over
the fountain, he said, with the name
of my medicine upon it." Lepage re-
fused. "Then l will not pay you a sou
for the picturep' The price of this pic
ture meant bread for months, and the
painter had long needed bread. The
chance of admission to the salon was
small He hesitated. Then he silenced
his hunger and carried the canvas to
the salon. 1t was admitted. Its great
success insured Lepage place in public
recognition and his later work place
among the greatest of living artists. -

within its borders. Away up in the
northern end of the state is the chain
of Connecticut lakes, and these beauti-
full sheets contain millions of fish. Lake
trout and salmon are to be found in the
waters of New Hampshire as we'll as
brook trout, and every one of the crys-
talline bodies of water bearing such
names as Penacook and Winnepesaukee,
the streams of the Pemigewasset and
similarly named wales, and many little
pools, such as Hot Hole and the like,
are at this moment being whipped most
vigorously and successfully.
Of course the fishing of New England
is not confined to Vermont and New
Hampshire. Maine is one of the most
famous of fishermen's states, and the
Rangeley lakes are among the most
famous of fishermen's lakes. He who
casts his flies on the lakes of Maine must
needs possess an agile tongue and an In
dia rubber jaw if he would tell his
friends where he has been a-fshing, for
he must be able to correctly pronounce
