Won't Work There,

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains. fully nine miles. and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

There Are Enough of Them to Form Q
 Good Sized Town.
 Paris is the city where the dressmak- ing trade fourishes as it does in no other spot in the world. In 1850 the number of couturieres, as given in the Annuaire du Commerce, the commer- cial directory of those days, was only 15s. There were besides CT shops for the sale of ready-made feminine appar- el, but there were none, as there are to-day, which sold lingerie or certain articles exclusively.
 In the Bottin Gas the Paris direc- tory is familiarly known) of 1895 there are 1,636 couturieres and 296 commer- cial houses for the sale of ready-made garments, besides many establish ments which manufacture and sell jupons de desous or under-petticoats alone. The number of working dress makers in Paris is estimated at 65,OOO.
 In all France, according to M. Georges Michel, the industry of manu- featuring the various articles of wom- ans dress is in the hands of S1 400 male and 143,64S female owners of shops or factories. These furnish employment to 700,S01 persons. of whom over 5OO,- GOO are women.
 In addition to these there are 925, 1855 persons who make their living from in- dustries which are tributary to that of the manufacture of feminine appar- el. The total value of the product of this labor from so many hands is esti- mated at E5O.0OO. .OOO.

An Illustration For Farmers.

On recent visit to Paris to breathe
again the invigorating Dir of my native
bill, it W as pleasing to observe that the
apple orchards were SO loaded with fruit
that the limbs of the trees had to be
propped up to prevent breaking. What
Is to become of this fruit? A large por-
tion of it, as usual will be exported to
England, and will be paid for Gin gold or
it's equivalent. The exporUation will not
DO made by the farmers in person, but
sound agents or middle-men will canvass
Oxford county and make contracts for
tho fruit, to be paid fer after returns are
received of sales at the stipulated price
agreed upon between the agents and the
producer.
Now suppose gold, being the standard
in England, and silver to be the stand
ard in this country, which is bound to
come If the Populists and new tangled
Democrats are to have their way, what
would be likely to hsppen2 The agent

awaiting hinself of his right by law to
pay the farmer in silver, whose purchas-
Ing power will be far less than that of
gold, tenders the depreciated currency in
payment, and the farmer must take that
or nothing. The result to the agent will
be that he will realize not only the
profits on his ven ture abroad, but an ad-
ditional profit equal to the difference be-.
tween gol1 and silver invested in it,
The farmer will. of course, lose the
difference between these values. Now if,
as is said to be probable, the gold dollar
will buy forty seven cents more of
groceries or other m erohandise, which the
farmer must buy, than the silver dollar.
and the agreed price per barrel for his
apples is ore dollar, he will receive in
fact but Gfty-three cents besides being
also obliged to pay an enhanced price for
his groceries. This is the entertainment
TO which the silverites are now inviting

ouence to us what the standard is in
England, and that it is high time for

Special Effort for Quick Relief.
To the Editor of the Press:

A few Sundays ago the superintendent of a
Sabbath school in this city, in speaking to
the pupils of the great need of a relief fund
by the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions, for the support of the
native teachers in foreign lands in order
that they may be retained in the field and
carry on the good work, told how Rev F.
IL. Hitchcock of Chicago, district secretary
of the states for the interior, had asked
each Sabbath school and Christian Endeay-
or Society in his district to raise and send
toshim $500 right off, instead of waiting until
the first of the year, thereby losing good
deal of valuable time The superintendent
asked the pupils if they thought they could
raise a few pennies during the week and
help make up the $500 so as he could send it
to the American Board to show that the
State of Maine is not far behind the other
states in cases of emergency in mission
work.
The following Sunday he recalled the
matter and asked if they were prepared.
Four small girls had earned S1.75 by selling
lemonade at .03 per glass for two afternoon;
another, whose father deals in butter and
eggs, had the proceeds of what she would sell
that week, and this was quite a little sum.
pennies that were brought for this contribu-
ton, and when it was taken up and counted
there was an amount that surprised every
body-S2O.42 He spoke very feelingly to the
school and thanked them for showing that
they were interested in this great work.
This Sabbath school is only small one in
this city, but it is very much interested in
the work of missions in all its branches. If
this plan could be carried out in all the
Sabbath schools in the city and country
(and some of them are better able to do it
than the one spoken Of what great
amount of good would be done toward the
Characterization of the darkened parts
and the advancement of Gods kingdom
here in our own midst. Better try it and
see what especial EFFORT can do. Twenty
dollars will support native teacher for one
whole year.

The island of Crets or Gambia which
is so ssoften and so unhappily before the
eyes Of Christondom, is an ancient Isle of
q renown that ought to insure it a hap
pier present. From it's bosom rises Mt.
Ida, and near by is the cave where the
Minotsur was won't to dwell. There Is
an old tradition that civilization, while
on its way from the Egyptians and
Phoenioians to the Europeans, halted for
a time at Crete. And here also 1t was
that Minos lsglslated in the dim days
before history was written. The first
Christian church was founded there by
Paul himself, and the tide of Moslem in
vaslon has never been able to overwhelm
the believers in the cross. In 1904 the
Venetians became masters OF the island,
and held 1t until 1869, when the Turks,
then in the days of their glory, fastened
sheir dominion upon it. In the days of
Greoian glory the island.sis said to have
maintai ned a population of about L.,
200, 600 souls; but under the paralyzing
rule Of the Turk the population has dwin
died to less than 300,0 900. Only $4,000 of
them are Mohammedans, and even these
are generally of Greek descent and speak
the Greek language. In 1866 the island
revolted, and although there was much
sympathy for the PATRIOTS they were
subdued in 1869 In 1891 there was an
other revolt. The wretched government
of the Turk has become more wretched
than ever, as the Sultan's power has
orumbled. This rebellion seems more
likely to succeed Turkey is so i'm
potent that the great powers of Europe
will probably be able to effect an ar
rangement whereby Crete may hav 9

of n nominal tribute to the Porte.

The plan of the Cuban patriots to burn

1t is great sacrifice to roll wave Of
fire over Cuba; but history has proved
that it is worth the greatest sacrifices to

over, it was found in our civil war that
