A Unique Business Failure

The queerest failure in Maine for years was that of B. B. Douglas of Bow doinham, who lives four miles from a village on country road, and yet man aged to go up for $50, 900. This unique merchants stock in trade ranged from farms to anodyne liniment and from pins to moving machines, dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes, grain, flour, groceries, eroekery, cigars and tobacco, harness and, in fact, anything and ev- erything which can be sold or bartered.
 He sold for very small profit, and gradually he worked up q large trade, people coming from far and near to trade with him. People have been known to journey 2O miles to buy groceries oi Douglas at his farm store If one wish cd to get an insight into unique business methods, he should pay visit to this curiosity shop. Imagine long, low farmhouse, sheds and oHtbuildings. II the shed were barrels of flour, hogsheads of molasses, land, pork, etc. Ii the va rious rooms of the houso goods of divers kinds were piled on the floor and tables. In one room whips wore piled foot deep. In the barn were wagons, car riages, sleighs, moving machines etc. The result of this venture is not encour- aging to tho idea that the retailers profit can be dispensed with.-Lewiston ,JOurnal

Complaints that the Omnibus com pany darken their windows with adver- tisements are rife in Paris as in London In Paris, however, the offending bills are put not ill the windows of the vehi- eles, but i'll those of the stations, where most people who have had experience of riding in the omnibuses of the French capital have spent many Q tedious half hour. It is we'll known that French con- ductors can set down passengers, but cannot pick them up. The passengers have to go to tho nearest station, as on the railways, there to wait their turn, and there being no competing under ground railways and an insufficient number of omnibuses to meet the re- quirements of the traffic, they often have to wait a long time. In these cir cumstances it is felt to be a hardship that they cannot see the omnibuses from the inside as they draw up, but have to rush out in the cold or rain every time one comes rumbling up to see whether it is the one they want.

Losing sense of Color.

The human eye, though trained to distinguish colors, may by want of use forget how to distinguish them. The unique experience of Dr. R. Harley, F. R. S., related in the London Spectator, establishes the fact that color can be forgotten, as well as learned, by human sight.
 Dr. Harley, ill order to save the sight of one eye--or perhaps of both-when one was injured, voluntarily immured himself in room made totally dark fo1 nine months.
 The fortitude which enabled him to adopt this course and the ingenuity by which he preserved his health and fac ulties in this the most mentally and physically depressing of all forms of imprisonment are sufficiently remarka- ble, but Dr. Harley also kept all aeeu- rate record of his impressions when he at last looked again upon the light, after the supreme moment at which he satis- fed himself that he was not blind, but could see.
 He found that in the nine months darkness his eyes had lost all sense of color. The world was black, white and gray. They had also lost the sense of distance. His brain interpreted the pie ture wrongly. His hand did not touch the object meant to be grasped. Prac- tice soon remedied the last induced de- feet of sight Experiment. with skeins of various eolored wool, in the presence of one who had normal color vision, re- stored the first.

SOME of Gov. Clarke's adherents among the press are pleased to refer to Senator J. K. Jones as Sugar Trust Jones. Now, if these gentle men have anything with which to justify such an allusion, they should give the public the benefit of their information. If Senator Jones has ever in any manner been connected with the infamous Sugar Trust, that fact should be disclosed to the pub lie, but if the allusion is simply for the purpose of insinuating that Sen ator Jones is under the influence of the Trust without any evidence to that eff fect, it is base calumny and it will prove a boomerang to Gov. Clarke in the Senatorial contest. The gentlemen aforesaid should offer some proof of what they insinuate. We guarantee that if any one of them will make the charge, that they will have to defend libel suit. Sen- ator Jones has always been true to the people, and it will require more than an insinuation to convince them that he has not.

Nerves

 System of the human body. Nerves extend from the brain to every part of the body and reach every organ. Nerves are like fire good servants but hard
 masters
 Nerves are fed by tue blood and are therefore
 like it in character. Nerves will be weak and exhausted if the
 blood is thin, pale and impure. Nerves will surely be strong and steady if
 the blood is rich, red and vigorous. Nerves find true friend in Hoods Sarsapa-

Envelopes, Envelopssii Envelopes,il

Epvelopesi EnveIopesii EnveIopestii
 Enyelopes-fifty thousand of them all kinds, grades and sizes, were received at the GRAPHIC office yester- day. They came direct from the factory in Massachusetts and they are the best envelopes for the money ever brought to this town. A St. Louis stationery drummer, on seeing the envelopes and invoice for the same yesterday, confessed that they were cheaper than his house could buy them in even larger quantities The reason of this is that we buy our envelopes from one of the best and largest envelope factories in the United States and then discount our bills. That's what brings results.
 Therefore, we can furnish our GUS toners and the trade generally with as good envelopes as can be bought in this country and at as cheap prices as can be made by any print ing house in the South or West. Don't take our word for it. just call around and see.
 With our steam power and by buying direct from the factory we can set competition at defiance.
 This is no joke. It'sa fact.

The Effects of Climate.

A climate not necessarily un-
healthy often proves so to those
unaccustomed to it. The acchmat-
ing process seems unusually slow in
some constitutions. There is, how
ever, a medicinal means of accIi-
mating it of which residents or So
iourners in uuaccustomed or mala-
rious climates have not been slow
to avail themselves. Hostetters
Stomach Bitters is a medicinal safe
guard and acclimating tonic of
standard reputation, which travel
ers, emigrants, tourists, mariners,
and others whose tastes and pur-
suits entail exposure, subsection to
changes of temperature, unusual
or unwholesome diet or water, and
the fatigue attendant upon long
journeys by land or sea, concur IN
pronouncirg it reliable, agreeable
and safe. AS a remedy for disor-
ders of the liver, stomach and bow
els, very prevalent in malarious re-
gions and the tropics, as a preven-
tive of fever and ague, rheumatim
and kidney trouble, and as re-
storative of vigor, it is also held in
the highest estimation.

at or near Denton few days ago.

in one of these moods. Mr.. Wat
kins was a fine bookkeeper, and
business man, and at one time was
associated in business here and had
a fine trade. He got started down

not apply the remedy to check his

melted the heart OF a cobble stone.

them with the compliments Of the

dolefully that the check had not
been received up to date. After the
singing OF a short funeral hymn, the
committee adjourned.
Still these unfortunate scribes, who
support the Mckinley outfit in the
hope Of a Hanna reward are no worse
of than the poverty stricken Silver
editors, who also get nothing for the
campaign, except the lambient hued
glory OF laboring for II righteous
aus which to all intents and pur-
poses is better than serving the devil
