The uses for wood pulp are already
manifold and new ones are constantly
being discovered. Cans made of paper
pulp are being introduced to take the
place of tin cans for containing all kinds
of preserved products. The advantages
they possess which makes them prefer
able to tin are, they will not expand or
contract, will stand as much if not more
rough usage, and there is no danger of
the contents becoming tainted with
poisonous matter caused by admission
of air.

Forest Commissioner, c. E. Oak,
has Just issued circular to be sent
TO the wooded sections of the state, call
ing attention to the danger of forest
fires at this season of the year and the
law which apl lies TO the protection of
the forests. Fires, often the result of
carelessness, can do vast amount of
damage in a short time. and it is most
important that every preeaution should
be taken to prevent them. Maine can
i'll afford to part with her forests.

The weeks Assembly at Good Will
closed with the service of Tuesday even
ing. Certainly a more profitable assem-
bly, has never been held. Rev. G.. W.
Hinekley, Good Wills founder and super
intendeut, has the satisfaction Of know
ing that his efforts to bring together a
class of instructors aud entertainers who
would best assist in helping his boys to
be all-around, manly, Christian men,
were highly successful. But the Farm
boys were not the only ones who were
protited thereby. Many from other
states, aud from Maine cities were
present during the entire week, Will
there were daily excursions from all the
surrounding towns, some going by train
and others driving from their homes.
Thus large number of people have re-
ceiyed benefit and pleasure, many of
whom might not otherwise have the
privilege of hearing such distinguished
speakers.

A MOTHER-lN-LAW STORY.
She Caused French Schoolmaster to Flee
 to the Forest and Subsist on Herbs.

to the Forest and Subsist on Herbs.
 A schoolmaster at Amiens, France, married, but after a week of welded life his mother-in-law, who made her home with them, became so insupport- able that, unable longer to endure her tyranny, he resolved not only to desert the conjugal roof but to break with civilization and return to savagery. So he fled to dense forest not far from Amiens, and there lived for three weeks on roots and apples, says the New York World.
 He said afterwards that whenever the picture of his home and wife rose in his troubled brain there stepped be- tween the scepter of his implacable mother-in-law, guarding like the angel with the flaming sword the gate of par adise, and the thought would send him flying into the depths of the forest again to escape fancied pursuit and re- capture.
 Atlast hunger drove the vegetarian to desire another roof than the trees afford ed, and more tempting food than herbs and apples, so he decided to seek refuge with his own mother, and at her home found awaiting him papers in a suit for divorce brought by his wife on the ground of desertion. Now the courts have freed the unhappy schoolmaster, who deemed conjugal happiness too dearly purchased at the price of such a mother-in-law.

AN INDIAN DEMON.
The Formidable Lynx PatrolIing the
 Maine Woods.

The Formidable Lynx PatrolItng the
 Maine Woods.
 Moose and deer stories are insignif- icant compared with the recent adven- tdres of an experienced hunter on the top of Chairback mountain. He was all alone and came upon a place where a large deer had been eaten and not very long before, for the blood was en- tirely fresh. There were large tracks around the place, and it was not many minutes before the hunter found bigger game than he cared to tackle, for one of the most formidable Indian demons that ever patrolled the Maine woods was before him, says the Bangor Com mercial.
 The hunter is not given to woolly yarns, but he says he actually believes that the animal could stretch himself fifteen feet. He would jump and clasp a limb fifteen to eighteen feet from the ground, ana go 1nuo big tree With the ease and grace of any cat. Entirely alone and long distance from any help the hunter dared not fire at him, knowing from long experience in the woods that if he hit but did not kill the demon he (the hunter) would be in luck if he lived to get home.
 The strange and powerful animal fol lowed him for quite a distance, first being three rods ahead in the old log ging road and then suddenly appearing in the rear. But the hunter plodded steadily along, keeping his weather eye on the ugly beast while not appear ing to notice him or quicken his pace. In about a half hour the big lynx dis appeared and the hunter breathed a few sighs of relief and didn't waste any time in looking up his travelling com panion after that.
