Or. John swan, of Westbrook, has been
elected managing medical director of the
Scates Medical Co., and all medicines

\ Young man in Augusta, who had pro-
| longed his call ON his lady love rather
later than usual, was surprised when a
window in an upper story was raised, as
he left the house, and the voice of the
mistress of the mansion called out:
Leave an extra quart this morning,
please.
One of the queerest accidents OF the
season is reported at Portland, where
young mother was nearly killed by her
ten months old baby, which got its hands
on large carving knife lying on table
near it and before its mother could seize
it had cut cash in her arm that severed
one or two arteries and veins, and re-
CURED over twenty stitches to close
it. The baby laughed and crowed in
great glee when her mot her shrieked and
fell off the chair in faint but soon
discovered that it WAS serious matter,
and refused to be comforted all the rest
OF the day.
In the still hours of one OF the rip
ping cold" nights of last week, Water
Vile man and his wife unanimously re-
solved-and it isn't often that there is
such unanimi;y of action-that this WAS
the coolest winter that the world had
known. They couldn't sleep, and so they
shivered, lamented and listened to the
striking OF the clock until daylight came.
Then they arose, and as the head OF the
house went down stairs he found that the
front door was wide open, and during the
night the wind had piled big drift of
snow into the front hall. Then they
ceased to wonder at the extreme cold.
Believers in signs down Waldo

very sharp, shrill barks. On his return

Why Men Do Not Dance

There is much complaint that men do
not make themselves as agreea bic as they
might at dancing parties, and it is no
unusai sight to find them standing about
the halls and doorways at entertainments,
while young women sit partnerless
through an entire evening.
A lady OF the writer's acquaintance
gave party not long since at which there
was a large contingent OF men who did
not dance, and she inquired OF several
with whom she WAS familiar, the reason
The response WAS that so many changes
were constantly teing introduced IN the
various dances that being business men
and much occupied, they mad no time to
keep familiar with them, and therefore
felt hesitate ion in dancing with young
ladies no were thoroughly up in all the
newest forms.

London. things may be progressing to-

tom suggested by a Turkish dignitary
who, several years ago, WAS entertained
at an evening party given by an English
man OF note and position. Seeing his
host hot and fatigued after taking part
in several dances, he inquired, with
surprise, why gentlemen and ladies in
England should perform such hard labor.

Alcohol's Evil Influence,

The more constantly alcohol is present
in the system the more quickly does it
ruin the nervous system, the liver, kid
neys, bladder, blood vessels and heart.
The man who drinks two OF three
quarts Of beer or wine a day, but is
never "under the influence Of liquor"
in his whole life, is much more certain
to feel the evil influence of alcohol upon
his system than he who does not touch
liquor for two or three months and then
gets upon "a whisky drunk" which
lasts for several days or weeks. Occa-
sional excess in anything injurious is
not so detrimental as constant indul.
