We know as little about proyocations
to the blues and profanity AS we do
about hard times, according to a remin-
iscence of an old settler of Bethel, who
remembers that he used to sell oats for
% cents per bushel to get money to pay
II per cent interest--and, what is more
to the point, once walked five miles to
get jug OF molasses and when almost
home hit the jug against a rock aud lost
his whole cargo.

The Federation Ode.

The following ode was sung at the
close of meetings of the Maine Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs. The author is
Miss Ellen Hamlin Butler, sister of the
president-elect of Colby University. Il
was sung to the tune of Aud Iangt
Syne.'
Now prophecy and love unite
In music sweet and strong,
To stay the last hours eager Hight
And hallow it with song
Not ours the ageold battle strain,
OR pTan's mighty roll,
We lift a choral whose refrain
Is chanted by the soul
Na more We con tradition pare,
But, led by sign and star,
Look forth-and 10 the glad new age
That knows not bond or bar
And CLEANS of fair, upruShing wings
That break from times control,
This hour of open vision brings
To ,anctify the soul.
No earthly morning meets our eyes,
But more than Edens light,
The shattered walls Of Paradise
Leave Heaven full in sight.
Are watchers for the day content
With twilight's glimmcring dole,
When in the radiant armament
LIES glory greets the ~oul2
For those who Gods own purpose hold,
For those who toll and wait.
No hope can he too high and bold,
No destiny too great.
Far-far beyond earth's passing good,
Waits one immortal goal,
And ever lasting angelhoOd
Shall crown the steadtast soul.

English goods have, during the present
season been imported into America in
vast quantities. From the Bradford
district in England, in woolens, worsteds
carpet rugs etc. the increase over 1893,
is given by the American economist as
$50 per ceut. This must have bad
effect upon the wooden industries in this
country.

The Biddeford Times, Daily and
Weekly, is published by Miss A. }. Small
who came into possession of the paper
10y the death of her brother, the founder.
She with industry and pluck made it a
bright, reliable, clean paper, built up Il
good patronage and about a year ago
sold the property to a young man, fresh
from the schools, who assumed com
mand and spread eagle and brass band
methods, but soon found out that he
was making glorious failure and the
paper came back into the hands of the
woman who had made it what it was.
SO much for woman's work as a
publisher.

eventually is sold for old gold and comes

An Illinois doctor has discovered that
electricity applied directly to the throat
is an excellent cure for diphtheria lie
claims it to be superior to anti.toxine,
but until that has been proved beyond a
doubt the profession will naturally be
slow in adopting it.
The commander of the English survey
ing ship Penguin announces that a
deeper spot in the ocean than any yet
known, has recently been found in the
South Pacific. The depth reached WAS
five and one-half miles, but the bottom
was not touched even then, owing to a
defect in the wire which caused it to
break.

misfortune some few weeks ego.
We are informed that he received q
telegram from his trainer, on his
stock farm in Tennesse, announcing
that his training barn, with thirteen
valuable horses, had been DESTROYED
by fire. Mr.. Price, while feeling Of
course, the financial portion of the
sloss to no little extent, feels partic'
ularly greived over the loss of sc
many of his FINE animals, several o.
them bred aud raised on the farm
from stock eDviable pedigrees, and
Others in which he had paid partic.
nlar care in the matter of theil
selection and training. The ami
mails bnrned comprised a lot that h
had in the hand of the trainer, anG
from which be. had every reason tc
anticipate great results in the mat
ter Of speed. Their loss means ar
additional loss, as the animals can
not be replaced except in the course
of time and the training to which
sthey had been subjected.
