A Book About Venezuela.

''N ENEzu Ella; Land Where It's Always
summer" by William Eleroy Curtis. Price
81 %. Harper x Brothers, New York
Venezuela is much III the public eye now
t-'lays. Richard Harding Davis was there
N a flying trip last wear, and he wrote
breezily about what he saw, but his observa-
tons are merely random notes when COM
pared with William Eleroy Curtis "Vene-
zue!a Land Where It's Always Summer"
This volume is more than an up-to-late
glide-book; it is a history and book Of
travel we'll 1t is such modern history
in fact, that it contains the documents bear
ing upon the recent boundary dispute.
The entertaining book opens with dIrec-
rons for reaching Venezuela, and what
traveller will find when he gets there. They
not superficial Raedecker directions, but
such as one would wish who intended to
live or to establish business there. The
history of the nation is narrated and the
chapters on Miranda, Bolivar and Guz-
nan Blanco are PARTICULAR interesting.
There is abundant Information about the
principal cities, the government, the char
acteristics of the Venezuelan people, their
religion, morals, and their pecularities. The
book has excellent maps and numerous hall
marks of being from the pen OF a scholarly
and keen observer. Boston journal.

The Maine state Fair.

In connection with the special work at
tempted by the Maine State Fair, one fact
must not be lost sight of, that every step
and act indicates purpose and that to de-
velop, SO far as possible the material pros
perity of the State of Maine and the East.
In the Fair Of 1896, Aug. 81, Sept. /, >, 3 and
+, this will he specially noticeable. Even in
the races this Is manifest and the conditions
for the colt stakes and stake races, which
close May lst, require that every horse must
be owned, bred or kept in Maine or the
Provinces" Others may throw open the
doors and admit from every locality bnt
those interested specially IN the Maine horse
will appreciate the measure of protection
offered. Those whose stock is eligible should
insure the permanence of these stakes bv
liberal entries. Send to Sec'y G. NJ. Twitch-

The "Anodyne."

Now and then one sees a bit of original
advertising. The staunch little steam yacht
Anody ne is now plying along the coast of
Maine, SIMPLY and solely in the interests of
Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. The Ano-
dyne has a cargo Of advertising matter
aboard, which is distributed throughout
every town long shore by the aid of boy and
bicycle. The Atlantic ocean, if you remem-
Der. has a tremendous circulation along the
coast of Maine, and it is pretty safe to say
that the inhabitants OF the Pine Tree State
will long rt member the novel method of add
vertising adopted by the makers of Anodyne
Liniment. Profitable Advertising.

IN DISCUSSING THE CUBAN QUESTION HE
CALLED ON THE POETS.
Many Senators have claims to fame for
various characteristics. Chandler is sar-
castle, Wolcott is eloquent, Morgan is
profound, Call is tedious, Teller is earn
est, but hereafter be it known that Mills
of Texas is poetical.
No one ever suspected it. No one ever
believed that the man who knew so much
about the tariff, W no framed a bill full of
intricate and tedious details, could store
away in the same brain so many gems of
verse. Lawyer and politician and legisla-
tor he has always been conceded to be,
but in the course of his eloquent and
fervid speech in behalf of Cuba, he
strewed his wordy pathway with poetic
gems. They fell from his lips in rhyth-
mic flow and were acclaimed with much
evolutionary force, says the Washington
Post. For instance, when telling of the
Spanish conquest, he quoted this verse:
When Cortez came
With sword and flame,
And at blow proud Mexico was humbled
in the dust.
But it was the story of the gallant de-
Tense of the Texans against the invasion
of the Spaniard that especially stirred
MIR. Mills poetic soul. If they had been
Greek they would have said;
Our hearts beat defiance to the foe,
Our land, once the garden of liberty,
1t has been and still shall be the land of the
free
If they had been Scotchmen, they would
have exclaimed:
Scots wha hae wi Wallace bled
Scots whom Bruce has often led,
Welcome to your CORY bed,
Or to victory.
Or if they had been Frenchmen they
would have sung:
Ye sons of France, awake to glory!
Hard, bark, what myriads bid you rise!
our children, wives, and grandslres hoary,
Behold their tears and hear their cries,
To arms. To armsi We brave
The aVengng sword unsheath
March on, March on, all hearts resolved
On victory, or death
1t was the brave Texans who. about to
be mastered by the cruel Spanish, gather
ed together and sang:
Mid pleasures and palaces though we may
Be it ever 50 humble there is no place like
home.
TO these same martyrs in the cause of
liberty. Senator Mills uttered this apos-
tropht:
Will YOU come to tile bower l have shaded
for Won?
Your bed shall be roses all spanged with
dew;
VIII You come will You come to the bower?
Mr.. Mills said that he did not believe in
the annexation of Cuba, but if, after this
country has brought the island to a state
| of peace and happiness, the Cubans
should say with Ruth

PERSONAL POINTS.

RICHARD VAUx, who died in Phila- delphia few days ago, is the only American who ever danced with Queen Victoria.
 MRS. CHRISTIE WASHINGTON (colored) has just died at Somerville, N. J., leav- ing her son an orphan. She was one hundred and sixteen years old and the orphan son is eighty-nine.
 MRs. NELLIE GRANT SARToRIs' eldest daughter has a decided talent for the stage, butit is not likely she will en- brace it as a career. She is pretty girl, with very attractive manners
 JOSHUA H. STovER, of Staunton, Va., has been sentenced to the penitentiary for life for stealing three and half pounds of bacon worth thirty-seven and half cents. Stover is a white man, a carpenter, and a confirmed thief
 MRS. KATE GANNETT WELLS declares that ''men are quite as nagging as women, and would be more so if they had to wear women's clothes. When men are said to be disagreeable to their wives, it is often because the latter are too weak, and do not assert their rights at frst.''
 THE late Rev. Dr. Lord, of Buffalo, N. Y., officiated at the funeral of one of Buffalo's notoriously rich and wicked citizens. After noting the de- ceased's parentage and date of birth he closed his tribute by saying: "Our dead friend had one noble virtue. He always got up early in the morning."
 JAMES KEMP, who has just died in Boston, is said to have been the first man converted by the Salvation Army in the United States. A member of the army picked him out of an ash barrel while he was drunk. The next day he joined the army, and soon rose to be a captain, an office which he held until his death.

LIFE MONOTONOUS
Wrong Idea About Experience of Sales
 men Always the Go.

People who do not travel are in the habit of speaking of the lives of travel ing men as full of pleasurable excite ment. The travelling men say that it is almost unbearably monotonous, says the Atlanta Constitution.
 II travel the entire south, from Wash ington to Texas" said travelling man to me the other day, and am con- stantly on the rail, and the nlonotony of it is making me grow old before my time. I have pretty large territory, but would you believe it if I told you that I can wake up at any hour of the night, no matter where 1 am, pull back the curtain of the sleeper, and tell what place the train IS approaching? I know the country so well. The dreary monotony robs it of novelty or interest. l have been over the ground so often that I believe know every forest, ev- cry cotton patch and every crossroad on the entire circuit. The only compensa- tion that a travelling man has in social way is in the fact that he meets people in every city that he visits and wher- ever he goes he finds friends. But he is off and away before he has time to enjoy their society. No, it's big mis- take; the travelling mans life is fright fully lonely and monotonous.
