A MlLLIoNAlRE's AMUSEMENT.
The Now Wealthy Ex-Junkman Spends
His Time In Whiting.


His Time In Whiting.
a millionaire must be allowed to have
some amusements, and if he is disposed
to amuse himself i'll ways that would
not be at all amusing to the big public
made of men who are not millionaires
no must certainly be accorded tho privi-
lege.
One of Chicagos greatest stocLlnen
and packers was once IA dealer in junk,
and it is said that no once went about
gathering old iron himself Now he is
reputed to be worth $50. 10000 900, and
rumor says that ho has his property in
such shape that he could, if he chose
raise Il larger sum in cash than any
other man i'll Chicago.
Each morning the millionaire man
comes into his Office with bundle of
clean pine sticks, which ho places in n
corner not far from the millionaire's
desk. When the millionaire has read his
morning mail. and business men como
III to sec him, he takes one of the sticks
and with big, old fashioned jackknife
whites it into bits, the shavings fall
ing on the floor. Sometimes he walks
up and down-he walks mucl-and
whittles. By the time business is done
for the day his Office looks like car
penter shop and tho bundle of pino
sticks has vanished. The harder the
business problems ho has to meet the
harder ho whites. And that is the way
he anuses himself. Chicago Record

RED TAPE IN SENEGAL
How Traveller May Get bath In That

a Young French explorer, NJ CASTOR
Donnet, contributes to Le Revue Bleue
come vivid descriptions of the French
colony of Senegal. The following hap
pened mt st. Louis, the capital, dull,
unproSressivc French colonial town,
eaten up with red tapo and officialism.
NJ. Bonnet tells us that he and fellow
traveller wanted to take bath. There is
no establishment i'll tho capital Of Sene-
gal. Rumol had it that Il was possible
to hire baths ut the hospital. We asked,
no says, one Of the servants there for q
bath.
"Certainly. Take seats. Your names,
surnames and birthplace?"
But we only want bath"
EXACTLY. What is your name, and
Where and when were you born, and are
you government servants, soldiers or
officers? No Well, the rules Go not pro-
vide for this. Wait a minute will
read them over again. Yes, here is your
case. You first make out on stamped pa.
per an application to tho governor Of
the colony. After favorable notice from
the governor you send another applica.
ton to the chief colonial doctor, who
will send for You and will examine
you"
But we arc not i'll. F."
1T is tho rule. Having examined
you, the doctor will give you two nom
commissioned officers bath tickets, to

BATH"
Mon Dieu! In our accounts wo rec.
ognlze only two categories of persons,
officers and civil servants, the latter
taking rank with officers. You are not
official at all. If officers were to find
you in their baths, they would probably
make row.
How long will all these formalities
take?''
"Oh, nothing Mt all-two or three
daya, provided that your application is
approved at government house"

Burglary as a Science.
From Home and Country


The chief tools Of the burglar are the
jimmy" nippers, and drag" In addt-
ion to these there will be a series of
drills. punches, wedges. and a brace and
bits. The drills and bits will be Of all
sizes. running from those almost as small
and as fine as needle up to powerful
ones an inch or two thick. A complete
assortment of these tools is hard to get
and when the kit is made complete it
is highly priced by the owner. They
are taken to the blacksmith separately
and tempered to an extreme hardness
No one would suspect the purpose for
which they are designed. Other forgers
make the nippers and Jimmy" The
latter is steel bar of great strength
and fineness, but it is divided into sec
tons, so that il can be unscrewed and
carried with greater convenience. The
nippers resemble a pair of curling-tongs
with sharp little teeth for catching hold
of keys that are in the locks inside of
the house. By means of the nippers the
key is not only showed inside, but it
is actually used to unlock the door be-
fore being removed. The custom of leav-
ing the key in the lock as a precaution
against burglars, who are reputed to
carry false keys with them, is really one
of great help to professional robbers in
stead of a hindrance
The drag is the most powerful little
instrument that the professional burglar
carries, and its construction is marvel
of simplicity, ingenuity and strength
BY means of it the most powerful safes
are opened within a few minutes. and
without 81 much noise as to attract the
attention of policeman outside of the
building. This instrument is being i'm
proved as safe-makers enGeaVOr to make
their receptacles for values more trust
worthy and difficult to break open. So
far the burglars have kept pace with the
safe-makers. and with every Improvement
made by the latter the former are sure
to circumvent it in some way.

A Washington Artist Comp1imented
With Half a Wild Boar.
From the washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
IT reckon l know how the poor fellow
felt when the King of Siam sent white
elephant to him at his modest abode"
said Artist +. f. Andrews, as he swung
out of the saddle of his despatched
thoroughbred. Il was the recipient yes
terday of the half of a wild boar recently
killed in the Ardennes. What am I going
to do with it? What would you do with
meat that cost you about $l.3O a pound?
Why eat it, of course.
Il am not inspired with a very great
penchant for pork, even of the domestic,
corn fed and sugar cured variety, but
when a bunch of wild hog is sent to me
across the ocean and l have in view a din
ner whose piece de resistance will not be
duplicated on any table in America, the
novelty of the thing and the expenditure
attendant upon the sender's well-intended
generosity will prevent and fear of indi-
gestion or quaims of taste interfering
with my partakng of the alleged delicacy.
The boar was killed near Liege, and
Pauly the Dusseldorf wine merchant with
whom l deal, got possession of il. He had
the carcass cut right in half and had the
latter end packed up without even the
lOng-haired hide being removed and sent
it to me. 1t came in excellent condition
with >I6.9O-collect marked on the outside

sent it to Golden and had the hide re-
moved and the remains butchered. The
hams are in cold storage and tomorrow
at dinner l will sacrifice myself before
the roasted loins. If you see published in

That replied the matchmaker lis

The mischief you say. Why, man alive.
in the days of Alexander the Great they
didn't have any watches"
That's just what makes it such a curl
And Alexander the Great did not die
He didn't, Ell? Well, that makes it a

MAINE &c a GREAT STATE.

II is an absolute fact that the business
depression OF the past twenty months,
severe as IL has been, has been less fell
in Maine than in most other states. And
now that the lowest ebb has been passed
and the tide of prosperity Is beginning
to rise again, Maine is In condition TO be
on the crest of the food.
Our state labor commissioner, Hon. >
W. Matthews, who better than any other
one man, perhaps, has facilities for judg-
ing. saws that Maine is richer by many
thousand dollars because OF the lessons
taught her moneyed men by the recent
panic. A great deal of building has
been going on during the last two years,
and taxable property has increased won
derfully on every hand. He says that
our manufacturers have weathered the
storm remarkably well. Very few fac
tories have suspended, and while nearly
all of them have either reduced their
employees wages or cut their time, times
have not been as hard in Maine as they
have been in other states
Our summer visitors are coming IN
larger numbers every year and leaving
hundreds of thousands Of dollars here
with our people. Maine Is the best place

EVENING.
STATE FAIR.

With the coming OF settled weather
and roads there will at once be increased
attention given the race tracks and the
fitting of horses for races. This sug-
gests the opportunity open to horsemen
by availing themselves OF the colt stakes
and stake races guaranteed by the Maine
State Agricultural Society, and which
close Nav |, before the season of racing
begins. Every man who intends to de-
yelop his horse or colt should send to
the secretary, G. NJ. Twitehell, Augusta,
for blanks and full particulars. These
stakes and stake races are more liberal
than ever, following the policy OF this
widea-wake state society. The last state
fair was the best on record, and assur-
ances are made that 1895 will be in every
respect an Improvement. Ii is the duty
of every citizen of Maine 10 assist in per-
fecting this state exhibition in every de-
partment. We say TO all, make prepare
tons TO be at Lewiston, Sept. 2, 3, 4, ,
and s. compete for the premiums and
witness the great array OF special at

TALK OF THE STATE.

A Vinalhaven man lost watch last
August and neighbor found il frozen in
the ice OF a puddle this spring. When
wound up the watch licked awayas lust
lily as II rust didn't corrupt.
A North Haven Lyceum voted that the
world Is growing worse. Some OF the
good people were shocked so another
vote was taken and 81 voted that 1t wa:
getting worse to o that il was growing
better.
The syndicate craze would seem "a
have reached its limit at Ninalhaver
where company has been formed TO dig
for Capt. kidd's ill-gotten ingots sup
posed to have been buried In that
locality.
II is related Of Portland ship owner
who read of his vessel being reported
that he took the latitude aud longitude ir
which the vessel was said 10 have been
seen and found she was in the middle OF
the desert Of Sahara.
Ellsworth's village improvement
society is to give series Of popular en-,
tertainments to raise money. Ii is pro-
posed to have social interchange OF
thought, musical selections, games OF
cards and dancing at these entertain
ments.
The recent flood has excited discussion
as to whether clearing away the forests
is responsible for it. Unless the old
time chroniclers were awful liars, how
ever, they had floods In the good old
days that scored inches higher than any
thing since.
