mission and constabulav.

At 1880 P. NJ. there was a big crowd
of people about the Capitol. BY o'clock
the lobby looked as it does during q
Saturday recess. A few Of the hearings
had quite good attendance, but the Bid
deford and Bangor delegations were gone,
and their absence was noticeable.
The Judiciary Committee
made vigorous onslaught upon the work
before them and disposed of large num-
Der Of measures. They voted ought to
pass on the bill amendatory of the Bidde-
ford police commission law and for the
act to abolish the constabulary in that
city. They voted ought not to pass upon the
bill to authorize trustees to lease or mort
gage trust estates; ought to pass on the re-
solve to purchase York deeds; same on
bill relating to probate of foreign wills;
same on bill providing for production Of
books and papers in action; same on
measure to allow Caribou to purchase
land for a court house; same on extension

way; also ought to pass on the act to
give fathers and mothers joint custody of
minor children. The committee also
heard Hon. James W. Bradbury on his
ballos bill, and representatives of the mill
interests who oppose the drawing of
water from their supply by the Bridgton
Water Company. The committee will re
port unfavorably on this bill.
The Berwick Division Case.
Walter Downes, Esq, and MIR. Bart

in opposition to the petition. The petit
TONERS say that it is in the interests of
schools that the division be made, also
that it will afford them depot and direct

0Ieomarsarine Law.

The agricultural committee voted ought
to pass on the resolve to appropriate
$1,000 for clerk hire in the agricultural
department The committee gave hear
ing on the oleomargarinc bill. This
amends the present law by providing that
oleomargarine snail not be colored yellows
it also provides for a fine of 800 for the
first offence and 5000 for each subsequent
offence. The committee changed the
bill by increasing the amount of the fine
which shall 60 to the informer from one
quarter to one-third. Letters favoring
the measure were received from IL
creameries. Representative Gilbert and
Hon. A. NJ. Spear appeared for the bill.
Arbitration.
A hearing on the State Board of Arbi-
tration bill was had before the labor COM
mittee Wednesday afternoon. Among
those who appeared for the measure were
President Hatch of the State Branch of
the Federation of Labor, Samuel Tiletson
of Lewiston, H. C. Frost Auburn, j. +.
Ballard of Lewiston, W. J. Healey Of Port
land and Representative Patten of Bath.
Those opposed were Agent Niles of the
Lisbon mills, Representative Garner of
Kezar Falls, Lawyer Cornish Of Augusta
and Lawyer Carter of Lewiston. 1t was
argued in behalf of the bill that it was
in the spirit of the time, that it was
really copy Of the Massachusetts, law
that had done much good in bringing to
light injustices and violations of law.
Mr.. Patten argued that the bill was not
needed in the interests of employers who
don't need the protection that the en-
ployes do This is the age Of arbitration.
The opponents took the ground that the
board could do no good, had done no good
in Massachusetts,, but that there was an
element of compulsion in the proposed
law. This, they argued, is because one
party to the controversy can call in the
board of arbitration and that board can
call in the book keeper and the books of
the corporation for testimony against the
corporation. Representatives, Wheeler
and Doyle spoke for the bill.
Not TO Sell Indian Township,
The committee on State lands voted
against the proposition to sell Indian
township.
Railroad Matters.
The railroad committee voted In favor
of extending for two years the charters OF
the Randolph & Damariscotta r. r., and
the Brunswick Street Railway. The rep
resentativcs of the latter company assure
the committee that the road will be built
next summer. The committee also voted
favorably upon the Hampden & Winter
port Railroad Company's petition to use
certain of the Bangor Roads tracks.
Lobsiers.
There was quite large hearing before
the Shore Fisheries committee on the
lobster question. The Gamers occupied
the afternoon in telling the committee
that 1917 inch lobster law the year
around would destroy their industry and
afford the lobster no protection. Hon. G.
E. Littlefield conducted their case. A. A.
Beaton, Esq, was counsel for those who
ask for the law as the only available

HEIGHT OF THE TOWER OF BABLE.
The reputed hight of this structure
has at times been exaggerated, some
Jewish authorities fixing it at 12 miles,
and Jerome quoting contemporary as
sertions for its being four miles high.
These estimates, however, give way to
the sober testimony of Stabo, who
states the height at 600 feet, which is
the figure generally accepted. The
distinction of forming the remains OF
Bable has been claimed for three mass,
es of ruins in or near Babylon; but
the majority of competent antiquarians
have declared in favor of Birs MIN
roud, which stood in Borsippa, SUI
burb of Babylon, eight miles distant
from that city. Sir r. K. Porter showed
that the summit had been exposed to
intense vitifying heat which must have
been the result Of fire operating from
above, probably in the form of light
ming, thus confirming the tradition ol
it's obstruction by fire from heaven
Sir H. F. Rawlinson discovered that il
consisted of seven stages of brick
work on an earthern platform, each
stage being of a different color. lt's
ruins still rise $50 feet above the leve
of the plain. According to Herodotu>
the tower of Bable was once adorned
by colossal images and statutes of solid
gold, the value OF which he rated al
$2l 100000 sterling, probably as great
an exaggeration Of their worth as l.
miles was of the height of the struct'

I looked upon the beautiful villages OF

90 OUT OF
EVERY 100.

CTATISTICS may not be absolutely cor
y rect, but there is no other way of OBJ
tanning certain kinds of ofinfornation, even
approximately, than through the statisti
clan. That individual says that 81 men
out of every 100 who die, are insolvent,
or in other words die without leaving any
estate, and only two leave anything for
their families after debts are paid. You
may doubt the truth of the above state
mcnt, and if you do We would suggest that
you allow your mind to run back over
your own experience and sec how many
men you can recOllcct who have joined the
silent majority and left an estate to their
families. We think you will find that
there are not more than two or three out
of every 100.
1t is the duty Of every man who has
any one depending on him land almost
every one has) to make provision for the
ones who will be left at the mercy OF a
cold world in case the bread winner is re-
moved. The only way in which this can
be done with any degree of certainty is by
life insurance. Ifyou depend on leaving
what you now have or what you expect
to make, there are 9S chances to 2 that you
will not do it. Remember that as good
business men rs you have the reputation
of being, have died insOlvent and the
chances are that you will do the same

A LosT-LETTER SToRY.-A mer-
chant complained of the loss of letter
issued from his office, containing some
hundreds of pounds in Bank of Eng
land notes. Finally an expert from
the postoffice department called upon
him.
"Believe me, sir, the expert said, 81

you kindly sit at your desk and recall
each operation in connection with the
missing letter."
"With pleasure. I sit here. take
sheet of this note paper and one of

their numbers, fold them, put them in
the letter, and the letter into the en-
velope. Then / seal them all as you
now see me do"
"Just so; and what next2"
"Why, my clerk comes in and clears
off my desk for post"
"But you wrote this one at moor,
and the post does not 60 out before
night"
"Oh, yes, of course quite forgot
to say that money letter, for greater
security, 1 put it in left hand drawer"
(which one?
(which? ? Why, this one. I open
it so, and I-bless my soul Goodness

shows the voracity of the bass in that
lake. A party from the Kennebec

his watch guard and flung his gold
watch overheard into 40 feet Of water.
About an hour after, and quarter OF
a mile distant, they caught G-pound-

there was the gold watch, still going.

M PLACE FOR THEM.

An old soldier describes what turn
ed out to be a laughable experience OF
two of his comrades. In one view of
it they were very unfortunate, but
looked at in another light their case
may be said to have been "twice
blest :" for they were certainly glad to
get in and gladder still to get out. On
one occasion, when during a march,
they halted, they discovered an old
house near by, and thought it would
be nice thing to sleep under shingles
once more.
Accordingly they slipped out of the
ranks, went over to the house, and
spreading their blankets on the floor,
went to sleep. About daylight they
were awakened by a soldier in charge
of the place.
~ don't want to disturb you fel-
lows; but do you know where you
are sleeping?"
"No. Is this some generals head
quarters ?"
"No; but it is old General Smallpox's
hospital. 1t won't interfere with him,
however, if sleeping here, don't trouble
you any"
"Whew!" shouted the luxurious
sleepers simultaneously, as they ran
out of the place.
"Don't be in a hurry" shouted the
guard cheerfully, "you are not dis.
turbing anybody. There's only two
fellows in here, and they're both
dead"
"Why didn't you tell us, you misera,
BILE scoundrel?"
because I was asleep myself. Here,
don't you want your blankets ~
"No! to blazes with the blankets !''
"All right. I'll take good care ot
'em till you come back again. 1 hope
you will have it light"
At this horrible suggestion the men
fled back to the line, where, by beg
ging, they got garments enough to
make a change. 1t was many days be-
fore they got rid of the fear that they
had the dread disease. 1t was much
longer before any one could say 'shin'
giles" to either of them with any de-
gree of safety.

"ToTAL INDIFFERENCE. Tom Sher-

brilliant father, had an uncle whose So
ciety he much frequented. The uncle,
who was skeptical, did his nephew lit,
tie good and much evil. Among the
things of doubtful advantage to boy,
which Tom acquired from the uncle,
was the habit of indulging in meta
physical discussions and he thus pick
ed up certain theories and difficulties
with which he used to puzzle his faith
er.
The life of Sheridan, senior was not
moral one. He drank to excess, and
he ran in debt 10 support his extrava-
CANT style of living. But he disliked
skeptical notions, and held to ortho-
dox ideas in philosophy and religion
Tom one day tried to engage his
father in discussion ofthe doctrine OF
necessity.
"Father," said he, "did you ever do
anything in state of perfect inditier-
encs without motive, l mean, of some
kind or other?"
Sheridan, who knew what was com.
ing, and didn't relish such discussions,
answered, ayes, certainly"
"What? Total inditference-entire
thorough indifference"
ayes, total, entire, thorough lndiffer-
ence."
"Then, tell me-" persisted Tom,
"what is it you can do with total In
difference ?"
"Why, listen to you, Tom ~ replied
the father.
When Tom was young man, ne
one day announced his approaching

imprudent act, threatened to "cut him
off with shilling"

you, sir ?" answered Tom, knowing his
fathers impecuniosity.

pB No bad man is ever brought to
repentance by angry words or by bit

himself against reproof, and hurls
back terrible charges in the face of his
accuser. Yet, guilty and hardened as he
seems, he has hearLin his bosom, and
it may be melted to tears by a gentle
