The platform framed at

intended only to get in on, like the

prove to be OF the migratory pat

Death OF Mr.. E. L. korcr0ss.

Mr.. L, l.. Norcross died at his farm
in Manchester. at 1.-The Forks Friday
morning, about O'Clock. after an i'll
ness of some months, at the age of %
years.
Mr.. Norcross was well known in this
section of the country, and was highly
respected He was very widely known
all through New England as a breeder
of horses, having been the raiser of the
famous Fearnaught stock. He owned
Fearnaught, Jr., also Lothaire. and
many others, known for their speed.
He was in company in the horse
business with Benjamin F. Wright of
Boston. and at times had as many as
200 horses at the farm in Manchester
AS a neighbor and citizen he was
very deeply regarded and was liked by
all. He was particularly pleasant and
sociable, and of a very cheerful dispo-
stion. He is survived by two sons and
a daughter.
The funeral will be later announced

The Olympic Games.

Messrs l. S. johnson & Co, % Gus
tom House St, Boston, the proprietors
of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. have
published a souvenir of the Olympic
games at ancient Athens. This booklet
is elegantly illustrated with half-tone
plates of all the competitors from Bos-
ton. The descriptive story tells OF the first
games, and which are supposed to have
begun 776 B. c.. and continued until
1914 A. D. 1t will thus be seen that the
revival is over 1900 years later. The
story is full of interest, and was pre-
pared by James Shields Murphy, editor
of the Golfer who in line of continuous
service as sporting writer is the
longest in the service of any in this
country. In the booklet are biograph-
ical sketches of the American athletes
with what they have done previous t.
the Olympic games. and what they wor
at Athens. making the book worth
keeping for reference. Any one inter,
ested in athletics of any kind can fine
much to interest them in this booklet
which will be sent to any address free
by the publishers.

A BUSINESS CHANGE.
Dcvinc & Coughin Dissolve Partnership Mr.
Coughiin TO Continue the Business.

The drug firm Of Deylne & Coughlin
doing business at the west end of the
kcnnebec bridge, was dissolved. Fri
day afternoon. MIR. Devine will retire
and Mr.. Couchin viii continue the bus
mess. the latter having not only pur-
chased the drug store but the whole
building in which it is located. The
terms are private
Messrs, Devine x Coushlin began
business at their old stand, II years
ago, and during that time have re-
age. always doing everything TO please
their customers and conducting first
class pharmacy. The store will be run
as in times past and the sole propri-
etor, Mr. Coughlin. guarantees to give
perfect satisfaction. He began to learn
the trade at Jackson's drug store at
Gardiner. 81 years ago. After working
for Mr.. Jackson for five years, he came
to this city where he has been ever
since.
Mr. Devne, the retiring member Of
the firm, has been in the drug store for
over a quarter of a century. He Will
take a much needed rest for a time,
but eventually will locate in Boston.
During Messrs. Coughlin's and Devine's
business relations, not a cross word
ever passed between them, which
means a good deal when their associa-
tons for IA years are taken into con
Sideration.
The many friends of the two gentle
men hope both will achieve the great
| est success in their new ventures

Mrs l.. d. Carver is at work on cata-
loguirg agricultural subjects which are
treated in the reports of the State
board. and in the Maine Pathological
and Maine Dairymen's reports. The
work is about two-thirds completed
and 1000 cards have been written. OF
especial value IS the catalogue on plant
nutrition, and the use of nitrogens as
fertilizers for the various kinds of
crops; also on dairying. fruit culture
and the handling of insects. The works
began in 1850, and were then not ex
tensive, two-or three years reports be-
ing easily contained in a volume. The
increase was gradual but steady, as the
science of agriculture became more
generally recognized, until now an an
nual report is Just about good enough
pert compiler of induces for cata
losue, having made them up for the
State and also for the Lithgow library.
The catalogue will be of inestimable
service to anyone wishing to look into
any subject whatever on matters agri-
cultural. Many own the complete set
of volumes. but the indeXing of each
volume is not sufficient to enable one to
get the full extent of the treatment Of
a subject, as by the general catalogue.
The work is the idea of the present
secretary of tb. board, B. w. McKeen.

baTelegged in very brief tartan petit
coat, with creel Of fish upon her shout
ders, had been often promised by an ally
in the servants hall that she should
some time see the young duchess in her
own home. She was therefore posted
one day in a distant corner Of the hall,
from which she looked out in obvious
discomfort as the lady and her guests
filed in to dinner. When the dining
room door had closed behind them, she
was asked what she thought of the
duchess.

Until some recent discoveries BY Pro
fessor Saussier of Vevey, Switzerland,
it was not suspected that fishes were af-
fected by music. In shallow inlet Pro-
fessor Saussier found queer arrange
ment of strings in the water which de-
manded examination. Viewing tho af-
fair from distance with water tele-
scope he saw that some fishes, which
had, by the usual painful method, gain
ed possession Of several fragments OF
fishline, were passing them around two
sticks thrust into the water by some fish
erman. When the strings were strung,
the stakes were wedged apart by piling
stones between them so asto tighten the
strings, three or four fishes rolling a
stone along the bottom with their noses
The operation was necessarily slow.
The professor watched it at intervals for
two or three days
Finally, when all was ready, the lar
gest fish seized stick or bone. and,
using it as a plectruln, twanged the
strings with it, while the other fishes
gathered around to hear the music. Of
course, there was none, as the sub
merged strings refused to sound After
several trials the fishes tore up their wa
ter harp in disgust. They had probably
caught their idea from Aimee Saussier,
the professors daughter, who was in
the habit of playing a harp by the bank.

TRADE REVIEW FOR 1905.

r. G.. Dun's review for the week
ending January 4, which lisa summary
for the past year, says:
1.-The commercial failures during
the complete year 1895 number IS. 1877,
against 1885 in I8ea. but the aggre-
gate of liabilities is slightly greater,
$I73, 100. 900, against SIP. oo2, 865. so
that the average per failure is SIS, I24,
against $I2,458 in 1894. The bright
promise offered by large decrease in
the first quarter was followed by a
small increase in the second and third
quarters and a large increase in the
last quarter of the year. In that
quarter also the deferred liabilities to
each firm in business increased, and
also the proportion of deferred iabili-
ties to payments through clearing
houses.
Remarkable contrasts are shown
this week in prices Of materials and Of
manufactured products. Compared
with January 1, 1895, prices of manu-
featured productsand of materials rose
for pig iron 1874 per cent. at the
highest point, but only 81 at the
close, while manufactures of iron rose
53.7 at the highest point and ass at
the close, anthracite coal rising 1873,
but closing SO per cent lower than
January /, 1895.
1.-THE produce markets have been
the theatre of surprising changes
which have influenced all business.
The acreage in cotton was wisely re-
stricted. in order to give producers a
better chance for fair returns, and the
crop was further reduced to some ex-
tent by injury, but growers were in
jured still more by frantic speculation,
which checked exports, and by false
information and advice. Wheat pro-
ducers suffered in like manner from
wild speculation, which prevented the
exporting of many million bushels,
and false reports which encouraged
farmers to keep back their grain until
/ the cream had been taken of the mar
ket BY spectators. The inevitable
