A short time ago a swelling appeared on
the cows throat. 1t disappeared for a
time, but soon reappeared and i'm
ally broke. From the sore was taken
about pint of tinely-chewed and closely
packed hay. But the most peculiar
feature of the case was that after the
swelling broke and the hay had been
taken out, it left hole opening into her
throat, so that when the COW drank,
water would run out.

Bar lsarb"r.
The Lewiston Journal says it is a cur
i.u, fect that he resident people of Bar
fIarbor, Us d rule, fight strenuously
AGAINST any improvements OF public
nature that i, proposed by the visiting
contingent. The Village Improvement
association, composed largely of summer
visitors, is hampered in many of its I'M
dertakings by the opposition of the ma
tiyes The chief reason that casino has
not been built here is the reluctance of
some Of the native property owners to
give the control into the hands of the
visitors. When the question of building
a town hall came up, one native business
man who owes his success in life to the
coming OF the summer travel to Bar Har-
bor. said he would rather never see a
town hail than see one dollar of it owned
bya summer resident. 1t il that spirit
that is retariing the growth OF Bar lIar-
Dor. As matter of fact, Bar Harbor is as
distinctly home, and her interests are as

The Bar flarbor water company matter
was heard by the committee ON the judic-

echo OF the old famous fight. The water
company, by amendments to its charter,
asked for aut hority TO extend its service
throughout the town of Eden to take
water from Turtle lake, and to purchase
and own stock of the old Eden water
company But the most important priv
lege asked for WAS to take land about
Eagle Lake, one of the sources OF water
supply, SO as to prevent foul drainage in
to the lake. The rcmonstrants, it was
claimed, included more than half the
names of the residents OF Bar Hair
Dor, and two of the selectmen. They
claimed the water company had in the
past got everything they asked for from
the legislature, and still they were not
satisfied. 1t was charged that the COM
pany had not carried out " hat il promised
to, and had done nothing to improve its
service Unit, very recently

American Fast Time.

The New York Central's Empire
State express has made 1861 miles in
4254 minutes, and its ordinary run
ming time, taking into consideration
the great difference in conditions ex-
listing between the British roads and
the New York Central, is even more
remarkable than was the fast time
recently made from London to Aber-
deem. The British roads run either
above or below grade. There are no
grade crossings to be looked out for.
and no city or village streets are
reversed by the trains.
The Empire State express runs
past hundreds of grade crossings, and
cuts through more than twenty cities
Of Importance in its passage between
New York and Buffalo. In every
case where the train passes through
the gates of city the speed must be
reduced to eight miles an hour. The
Empire State express makes its great
speed in spite of such drawbacks.
William Buchanan, master of motive
power for the New York Central,
claims that the present running time
can be reduced one hour with safety.
