Names Extinct Volcano.

Although Haystack mountain, in
Aroostool1, is said 10 be the remains of
an extinct volcano, it has been the gen.
eral opinion that the traces Of lava in
Maine were conspicuous only by their
absence. But Prof. w. S. Bayley, of
Colby university, is quoted as proving
by series of rocks at North Haven,
that Knox county once was the seat of
great volcano which was subject to as
violent eruptions as Vesuvius. Even
to the present day lava sheets may be
seen stretching over the northern half
of Vinalhaven. when Vesuvius was
born" says Prof. Bayley, lit cast up
ashes and dust, which, in falling,
burned the cities of Pompeii and Her.
culaneum. The Maine volcano emptied
similar material, and in quantities
large enough to bury a dozen towns. :"
The age of this old volcano and even
its exact site are not yet known, but it
is such perfectly preserved example
of an ancient volcano that it has at
tracted attention beyond the borders
of the state, and will be studied ex-
haustively by Mr.. G. o. Smith, at the
Johns Hopkins university, and will be
made the subject of his doctors thesis.

TO USE THE KNIFE

And Submit to a Painful Operation-This
the Doctors Advised as the Only Hope,
the Case Being Critical One-The Hap
by Termination of a Deep-Rooted Preiu-
dice.
Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Hartville, No,
had an interesting experience with the doc
tors recently, and was on the verge of a
painful surgical operation. He writes: 81
hereby add my unqualified endorsement of
your excellent remedy, S. S. S. For six
years have been sufferer from a scrofu-
lous affection OF the glands of my neck, and
all efforts Of physicians in Washington,
d. c., Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed
to reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here my physi-
clan urged me to submit to q removal of the
gland. At this critical moment friend
recommended S. S. S., and laying aside
deep-rooted prejudice against all patent
medicines, I began its use. Before / had
used one bottle the enlargement began to
disappear, and now it is entirely gone, and
1 am almost cured. l am not through with
my second bottle yet. HadI only used your
s. S. S. years ago, / could have escaped
years of misery and saved over $50. If
this endorsement will serve you in any way,
use it."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The
doctors can do no good, and even their re-
sorts to the knife prove either fruitless or
fatal. s. S. S. is the only real blood rem
edy. 1t gets at the root of the disease, and
forces it out permanently.

the skin and turned it black in many
places. The undertaken realized that
something must be done, and that very
soon. 1t would be out of the question
for the family to learn of the accident.
For moment he was nonplused, but
his mind shortly turned to his artist
friend, and he thought that he could
relieve him.

In his heart he hated it.
Still the popularity of the finger
bowl increased, and it came on now in
halt dozens, with fringed doylies I'M
derneath. Even the younger set
caught the craze, and some of the
pretty girls would sit out dances to-
gether to hear about new pattern of
drawn work for fnger-bowl doyley,
while the young men awkwardly
waltzed about in pairs.
The men began 10 sheer more OPEN

organized revolt.
1t was not until Christmas that it
got its death warrant
You see there were lot of children
in Rev. Mr.. Goodman's family, and, as
times were hard and his salary behind,
the poor man was discouraged and
disheartened. So, when on Christmas
morning boy handed in a parcel
marked: For Our Pastors Wife" it
was almost with tears in his eyes that
he carried it to his spouse.

unwrap the paper covering. II do

then he saw the finger bowls-six of
them-red, blue, green, yellow, opal
and purple.
Bobby Petefish looked at the worl d
through a rosy mist, and Bill Simpkins
surveyed his mother through golden
glass.
What! where did you boys get that
colored CLASP" she queried, sharply.
''In the alley behind the preacher
house." sniclkered Bill, producing a
pocketful of glittering bits-red, blue,
green, yellow, opal and purple.
The reign of the finger bowl declined
rapidly after that, and now it is as d
tale that is told. And to this day,
when Rev. Mr.. Goodman walks abroad,
the men of Brownsville say: "Ahl

DIAGNOSING A CASE OF LOVE.
How Tommy Consulted His Doctor Friend
and Won Her.

now consulted his DOCTOR FrtenQ
and Won Her.
Some men have the misfortune to in
spire youth with confidence. The
writer is one of them.
Tommy Bantam is as nice a young
ster as there is in Washington, and is
desperate about that charming Miss
Ponsonby. For two years he has been
her shadow, and in the matter of
flowers and candy has nearly impov-
erished himself. 1 found him the 9TH
er night in the smoking room of the
Beer and Sl1ittles club absorbed in
thought and mighty low in mind.
What is her name, Tommy, my
boy?" said l, going to the root of the
matter at once.
Then he broke down, ordered the
beer and cigars, and began to unpaclz
his heart.
81 will you all about it, mine
ancient" Then he went on to say that
he was dreadfully cut up and couldn't
for the life of him just tell where he
stood with Miss Ponsonby.
''She is SO Elusive, gracious and nice
there is no cOrnering her" said he, get
ting warmed up to his work of unpack-
ing. IF l approach the all-important
topic she freezes and petrifes So long
as / am friendly and conventional that
girl is bewildering, fascinating, but
commit herself she won't. Now, want
you to go up and call with me, and see
if you can discover any symptoms of
favor toward me-"
"All right, my boy" said l, II will
take charge of the case 1t promises
to be very interesting and to have new
phases
So Tommy and l went to see the
cruel fair one. She received me very
graciously, gave Tommy two fingers,
and then proceeded to ignore his pres
ence and limit her conversation to me.
She told him he would find mamma
and the girls in the dining-room and
some new photographs in the library.
She talked a blue streak to me, five
hundred revolutions of the tongue to
the second. When Tommy came back
and rose to leave she gave me cor
dial handshake, poked her left hand
out sideways toward Tommy, who was
little in the rear, shot quick glance
at him, quickly withdrew her hand,
and, laughing, ran out of the room.
When we got outside Tommy burst
out with: You see how it is; she
doesn't care baw-bee for me, for she
hardly spoke to me and talked all the
time to you"
Thomas, my son." said l, in the
deep, professional tone of a regular
practitioner, Thomas, my son, you
are as blind as bat and stupid as an
owl; why, that girl madly dotes on
you. She has all the amatory symp-
toms of a severe case. made a dag
nosis of it. First she was shy, distant
and i'll at ease with you. Second, she
took no notice of you and wanted you
out of the room the better to make a
good impression on your friend. She
gave herself dead away at parting.
Her impressive cordiality toward me
did not mean a thing, but that shy put
ting out of her left hand to you and
saying good night, without daring to
look at you more than a second, was
proof positive. She is hard hit. Coup
there tomorrow night and court her.
My word for it she surrenders"
Tommy took my prescription like
little man and was accepted, and all
that remains to be done is to fix the
wedding day.-Washington Post.

THE TALE OF A FINGER BOWL.
Its Advent, Its Vogue and Its Final Down
throw in BroMnsville.

throw in Brownsville.
The finger bowl struck Brownsville
directly after the sailed almond, and
just before the embroidered center
piece. Indeed, it followed so closely in
the almonds wake that not more than
three persons in town had begun to
say ''aE mon"-the rest pronounced it
almond, and were very fiat footed
about IL.
The finger bowl was introduced by
Miss Jones at her tea party. 1t was a
red glass one with dimples, and Miss
Zones passed itaround herself after the
guests had finished their tea. There
were floating upon this water sundry
thin slices OF lemon, AID, of course, the
first two women drank out of it. Please
don't fancy that had you never seen or
heard of finger bowls you would have
done better. Remember no printed di-
rections accompanied the bowl. Miss
Jones sister sat third in line. After
watching her, the rest did better.
Mrs. Petcfish was the next to follow
the fashion. She had two opalescant
bowls with crinkley edges. She said
that they were newer. And she dis
pensed with lemon. She let gera-
MUM leaf float in each bowl, for, she
said, 'geranium has nasty taste, and
those who drink once won't try it
again" They didn't. And thus, at
two sittings, Brownsville was educated
up to the finger-bowl. After that it
was the rage. for, as Mrs Petefsh re-
marked: There's one thing about we
Brownsvillites, we pick n thing up
quick"
The male BROWNSVILLE never took
kindly to this innovation. When it
was placed before him, he either quite
ignored it or else he tried to be funny
