Electric Ritters.

Electric Bitters is medicine used for any
season, but perhaps more generally needed
when the languid, exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need Of tonic or Alternative is felt. A prompt
use Of this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more sur, " in counteracting and free

The chapel at West Rochester, though
1t has been occupied sincethe first OF Feb.
ruary, has only recently been completed,
or nearly so. 1t still lacks painting, how.
ever. At the annual meeting OF the soci-
ETY. last week the report OF the building
committee showed there is debt OF about
$3.50. This is somewhat discouraging, for
those who are Immediately interested are
not so numerous or 81 wealthy as to make
the raising OF such sum an easy matter.
Are there not many OF our townspeople
who will be willing TO help? The build
ing Is owned and controlled by an incor-
porated society, which is undenomina-
tional, called the "West Rochester
Union Christian society" Were it de-
nominational, an appeal for funds could
be made along UNCONVENTIONAL lines. But
1t has seemed better that the building
should belong to tue people OF that region
and the appeal must be mainly to towns
people, irrespective OF denomination. All
who are interested in the moral and relig-
ious welfare OF our town should support
this undertaking. What affects one part
Of the town for good or evil affects the

TINS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
The Great Log Struck a Rock and
Bounded Over His Head.


Bounded Over His Head.
eve We're rolling logs down bluff
into the ST. John River, below Grand
Falls" said a lumberman TO a reporter
for the Boston Standard The bluff
was about forty rods up from the river,
steep and worn pretty smooth by the
log-rolling. A log started over the
brink would roll with tremendous We
locity down that sharp descent.
Toward the foot of the hill there was a
slight ridge, and now and then a log
would strike it and go bounding into
the air and land we'll out into the river.
TT was a. dry time that May and the
rolling logs made dusty work. The dust
was so thick sometimes that we almost
/ lost sight of the logs before they
reached the bottom. If a log was
started right it generally followed a
pretty straight course down the bluff,
but once in awhile a crooked one went
Slowing, or another would get advan-
tage of the rollers and start off end
first, and SO roll on a curve, and gen.
orally reach the bottom, but get lodged.
Tim Field would then have to go down
and dislodge it.
"One day a crooked log slowed and
lodged. Tim Field went down TO
straighten it and send it on its course.
While ne was engaged thus two men
came along with a log. They stopped
at the brink and waited for Tim to get
out of their way, balancing their log
with their 'peevies.'
"One of the peevies slipped and the
great log started down the incline. The
men at the top cried Loudly:
+" Tim, oh, Timi Look outl'
There was no time for the poor fell
low to jump aside, and no human power
could save him from being crushed by
that huge descending log. We stood,
horror-stricken, peering over the edge
of the bluff
Downward rolled the log, a cloud of
dust rising in its wake. For a dozen
rods it rolled, gaining velocity as it de-
scended, and then it suddenly struck
rock or some obstruction, and gave a
great bound high over Tins head and
struck to the ground below, whence it
relied and tumbled TO the foot.
Tim was untouched. - rs

GREEN TEA CIGARETTES.
They Tell Us That They Are Nov
smoked in ssSoeiety,,

They Tell Us That They Are Now
smoked in ssSociety.''
The green tea cigarette has arrived,
and promises to cause greater ravages
than its predecessor, the slender roll
of alleged tobacco, which now poisons
the air almost everywhere in Asia, Eu-
rope and America The person who
first discovered that green tea would
smoke is responsible for millions of
disordeded nerves, stomachs and heads,
but is probably too far gone in adora-
tion of the enervating habit to feel any
renorse. Already the new fad has taken
possession of England; it will soon
storm the walls of Paris, and before we
can fortify against it here we shall be
besieged. Tt win penetrate the boudoir
of the ladies, and even the straight
laced, orthodox public will see no harm
in an innocent tea cigarette. But none
the less a deadly peril turks within it.
New areas for the growth of tea are
constantly opened up in the East. and
the product, will be pushed with all the
energy of merchants determined to
make fortunes. We can even foresee
the time when to every pound of tea
purchased for legitimate consumption
as a cheering and non-inebriating bey-
erage the subtle grocer will add the
dainty package of tea cigarettes, en-
Veloped in paper covered with pretty
Chinese or Ceylonese designs, thus urg-
ing the entrance of the demon into the
household. There is but one compen-
sating feature in the whole business,
and that is that at its worst the tea
cigarette can never furnish an eff1uvi-
UNI so sitting as that of the American
paper roll with which every. office boy
deliberately exposes his lungs to par
tial paralysis daily.-New York Jour
nal.
