Mr.. Hiram Kicker, one of the proprietors
of the famous Poland Spring House. has to

terest Of their immense hostelry in answer
to the question what is the outlook this
season for the summer hotels in Maine?

A half century ago the now valuable
fish known as the haddock could be
caught by the boat load off Fort Gorges
in this harbor, but then they were con-
sldered of ITO value, and were thrown
overheard if caught. The same thing
was true off Cape Cod. about so years
ago. A Portland man says that when
he was boy he lived there and that if
haddock or pollock was caught it
made the fishermen angry, as it was
thrown overheard as useless, just as we
throw back sculpin when fishing for
cunners. When the paddock and pol
lock were numerous, the fishing smacks
would frequently pull up anchor and
move to some other grounds in order to
avoid them.
How changed is the situation now in
regard to this same paddock. Since
Thomas MoEwan began to smoke had
dock and introduce the delicious finnan
haddie here in Portland, some 40 years
ago, the demand for paddock has con-
stantly increased, and now this fish is
as eagerly sought after and caught as
the cod itself
But now there is prospect that the
demand for haddock will be larger in
this vicinity than ever before. Hitherto
the manufacture of fnnan haddie here
has been confined to the winter, be-
cause cold weather is required for the
smoking process as now carried on, in
wooden buildings, where the heat of the
summer would render the keeping of
the fish impossible. But there is a
prospect thas one of Portland's most en-
terprising firm, Twitchell, Champlin
& Co., will begin to smoke fresh had
dock next June and Immediately after
ward put ..upsthe fnnan haddie in cans.
Some experimenting has already been
done in the canning of smoked fish.
They have large. smoke-room in their
great brick block on Merrill's wharf,
where they have smoked hams in sum-
mer. 1t extends from the basement to
the roof, and being in the middle of
building, is quite cool in the hottest
weather.
II fresh paddock is smoked there the
coming summer and then Immediately
put up insthe cans it will be decidedly
new industry in Portland. Canned fin
nan haddie is not new thing. 1t can
be found in Boston and is sold somewhat
through the west and south. 1t is canned
in Nova Scotia.
There are many advantages in the man.
ufacture of finnan haddies in the sun
mer. The haddie is then much fatter
and f1rmer in flesh and therefore much
better for smoking. as there is less
waste. 1t is of course much easier to
catch in large quantities, because it is
found nearer shore in the winter and
there is of course much better weather
for the fishermen.
The luxury of finnan haddie at all
times of the year and at cheap price,
may be, in fact, in the near future.

Hole In Her Bottom.

The schooner Samuel Cashier, Jr., OF

the hole.

come from there to Portland to be re-

thin and firm in texture, With q glossy
surface, while the EaNter Mas q soft,
thick leaf, a brown stalk, hairy in the
| early stages of the new growth and is
of q much stronger habit, often becOu-
ing quite a tree. This variety bears fruit

sonous variety has berries Of a greenish
white--very similar in size and color to
those Of the poison iyy-in loose, pend
ent clusters, along the upper part of the
branches
The harmless rhus is almost always
found on the uplands and in open places,
while the poisonous sort prefers moist
ground and shade. The former takes on
a most beautiful variegation in fall, it's
pinnate, palmate foliage turning to red,
scarlet and maroon of exceedingly rich
and brilliant shades, while the latter
becomes a pale yellow. This poisonous
variety is a most dangerous plant. It is
worse than the poison ivy by far. Many
persons cannot pass near it without be-

died it, strange as it may seem. 1t seems

Driving Stakes Tor the Circus Tent.

First comes the driving of the stakes
| no slight task, since each stake is + ar 5
feet in length, 2 or 8 inches thick, ard
has to be driven three-fourths of its
length into hard ground. Between 900
\ and 800 blows Of the sledge are required
to get stake home. The sledges have
| handles 3 feet long and heads that weigh
II pounds They must be swung high IL
the air and be brought down With the
full force Of a pair Of strong arms. There
are over 1000 stakes to be driven, which
means $50, 900 blows of the sledges. But
for their special skill, this work alone
would take the men half day They
will do it easily in 40 minutes
They begin with the ''big top tent,
which is marked out 440 feet in length
and $50 feet in width. There are $50
stakes to be driven here, and four gangs
of men, of seven Or eight men each are
charged to drive them The leader of
each gang places the stake Where the
iron rod stood, taps it two or three blows
to make it stand alone, and then with
nod signals the gang to begin striking.
The seven men stand in circle around
the stake, their sledges ready. Each man
swings his sledge through full circle,
the heavy hammers coming down on the
iron head of the stake in regular and
rapid succession. Each man strikes about
one blow a second, so that the stake re-
celves seven blows a second. So ski1ful
are the men that they never miss blow,
never interfere with each other and
never vary from the musical rhythm set
by the leader.-McClure s Magazine

Henceforth Joliet Forever,

Tt is impossible to withhold admira-
ton of the courage and devotion display
ed by the common council of Joliet in
declaring, with official solemnity, that
the correct pronunciation of that name
is Joliet, with long 80. Passing an
ordinance to that effect was like brayely
holding up twinkling little light of
truth over vast rolling, engu1fing tide
of error. The light will by no means
stay the tide, but the light will be a no
tice to the curious that Joliet's sense of
self respect, though submerged in error,
exists. AS well try to eliminate "pants''
at this day as to attempt an eradication
of the JQlly-et heresy. In 1859 the man
who in that year made all the negro
minstrel jokes and died constructed
joke about going to prison and being
Jolly-yet. The joke was launched, and
for 36 years it has done it's fatal work.
Men now aged chuckled at it in their
prime, and middle aged men remember
giggling over it in their youth IF the
city council can make a joke Oh Joliet
and get the stage to take it I'D. if may
turn the tide, for every joke, good or
bad, lives forever Chicago News.

THE VALUE OF HOT WATER.
IF Used Freely, It's Beneficial Results Are
Surprising.

Surprising.
At this season of the year advice on
the use of water is always timely. So
many general recommendations a-e Of
fered to boil water, and SO fow people
are found to follow them, it seems Iall
ly wise to continue with well meant
ATTITUDES which no one heeds.
Boiled water is always 8lt and insip-
id, and few, if any, ever enjoy water SO
treated, as a general beverage. In cities
reasonable care is taken to have good
water, and if it is to be used plain it
had better be frash drawn and not boiled
or filtered unless the fltering medium
is replaced often or returned. AS very
few persons take the precaution to re-
charge filters, the o1,1y safe thing is to
do without one While it is perfectly
true that filtered water will show bright
er than unfltered water, it is also true
that in passing through q filter which
has been used for two or three months
the water viii take up imperceptible
germs far more deadly in their results
than the matters removed.
If water must be boiled, it had better
either be used as hot as it can be drank,
or, if drank when cooked, be favored
with q small quantity of some mild acid
to render it palatable.
Visitors to summer resorts are natural
~ concerned about the quality Of water
they are to drink there. Perhaps it is
not too much to say that next to the
lovely scenery Of the Green and White
mOuntions of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire the water supply is the strongest
attraction. With the mountain scenery
and the strong air one finds good water
is nearly always associated. This double
advantage is known to produce the best
type of physique in man, and to yield
results Of equal value in domestic ami
mails kept for profit.
The solvent power Of water makes or
mars the health and happiness of COM
munity. This solvent action explains the
extraordinary effects produced by the
use Of well known popular spring and
we'll waters having their sources in the
New England states
When we remember the enormous
quantity Of earth matter absorbed in
our ordinary food, which cannot be
avoided, it becomes a matter Of supreme
moment that we wash out Of the body as
much Of this as possible by a system
attic use Of the best of water. The guam
tity Of earth matter stored up in the
body determines in a marked way the
degree of health or disease one may suf-
fer from.
Govt rheumatism, gravel and slug
gish circulation are due in no small de-
gree to the quality Of water used. Few
can estimate the value of the increasing
practice of hot water drinking before
meals. It's beneficent action soothes the
promotes active excGetions and
tones up all the physiological processes.
The use of pure water i'll substitution
for much Of the coffee and tea now CON
sumed Will add greatly to the health Of
the community and the total Of human
happiness. Old age is but another e1--
