County Commissioners Convention.

County Commissioners Payson and Stiles
attended the meetings of the County Com
missioners of Maine in Aroostook county
last week. There were % commissioners
present. Mr.. Ambrose of Aroostook presid-
ell and Mr.. Clark of Somerset was clerk.
Sessions were held in Houlton and Caribou.
These meetings are improving the finances
of the various counties, by bringing about a
uniformity in fees where the statutes are in
definite. In many cases the law provides
for ''a reasonable compensation" and in
such cases the commissioners have fixed
maximum fees. For conveyance of pris-
oner the travel formerly allowed varied in
the different counties from to 20 cents per
mile, and the commissioners have now fixed
upon uniform fee of cents.
The question of "tramps'' was discussed
at some length, and committee, consisting
of S. S. Andrews of York, W. B. Beals of
Androscoggin, and r. Z. Burgess of kenne-
bee, was appointed to recommend to the
Legislature suitable changes in the tramp
law, giving trial justices jurisdiction to SEN
tence tramps to 90 days imprisonment.
Many of the commissioners were of the
opinion that the law should be amended, so
that tramps might be indicted and sentenced
to State prison.
A question which aroused considerable
discussion was, "Shall we favor the appoint
ment of State road commissioner Re-
marks were made by many in favor of bet
ter roads, but there was strong opposition
to the proposed road commission. Pending
the decision of the question adjournment
was taken to the court house at Caribou,
where an interesting evening session was
held. This evening session proved produc-
tive of interesting discussion. The follow
ing resolution was adopted: "That the SEN
timent of said convention is opposed to a
State road commission"
A committee was appointed to recommend
to the legislature a change ill the law, so
that trial justices receiving fine and costs
should be compelled to pay the whole
amount into the county treasury and pre-
sent their own bills to the county commits
sioners to be audited.
In discussing the question as to the per-
centage of arrests for intoxcation and cost
of arrest and commitment, it was developed
that in some counties so per cent. of all ar
rests were for drunkenness and the costs of
arrest and commitment per person was from
Sc to IS.

their valentine,by lot or otherwise. An
old custom was to throw open the Win
dow early in the morning, and the first
person seen would be your valentine
for the year.
The Eager Sirlan would insure the
right man being in the right place on
that morning. Still another saint OF
the same name is commemorated on the
18th of Feb. who was invoked in Italy
and Germany, in cases of epilepsy and
cognate disorders. The connection in
this instance with st. Valentines day
observances is difficult to trace, unless
it be through the somewhat occult pro-
cess of reasoning that the Saint, being
celebrated for kindness and love to
suffering humanity, became the patron
saint of lovers.

The Origin and Significance
of st. Valentines Day.

The ACCOMPLISHED Edito: of The
CLARION doubtless had in mind the
axiom of the Old Greek philosopher,
annent, the 'eternal fitness Of things,
when he suggested the st. Valentines
issue OF the paper being edited by the
women. For the dawn Of the tender
passion upon our planet must have
been when Eve appeared to Adam,
awaking from his "deep sleep" having
sprung from his side, "full panopled"
in beauty like Minerva from the BRAIN
of Jove. Like most other traditions,
the Origin of st. Valentines day is OBJ
scure and nearly lost in the mist Of
myth and fiction, which times etfacing
fingers casts over the past. 1t was a
very odd notion, alluded to by Shakes.
speare, that on the 18th of Feb. birds
begin to couple, hence, perhaps arose
the custom Of sending on this day, let.
ters containing profession of love and
affection. An authorized Roman legend
is, that st. Valentino, presbyter, and
martyr, was arrested and thrown into
chains al the instance of the emperor
Claudlus, and handed over to Calphur.
MUS. who employed one, Asterius, to
try to win him back to idolatry. Val,
entine having miraculously healed the
blind daughter of Asterius, he and all
his family believed and were baptized.
st. Valentine was bebeaded year later
at Rome, on Feb. 18th 270. History
having little to tell concerning the
man, makes amends by dwelling on the
ceremonies observed on his day. They
trace the origin of these to the Roman
Lupercalia, celebrated in Feb, at which
one practice was to put the names Of
women in a box to be drawn by the
men, each being bound to serve and
honor the woman whose name he had
drawn. Perhaps from this custom has
arisen the axiom that marriage is a
lottery. Somehow the old Roman Gus.
tom was transplanted to England,
where lads and lasses met on the day OF
the Italian priest 3 martyrdom, to choose
