MYSTiFlED AUTHORS.
Father Prout Made II Ills Business to Hoss
Notable Chsracters

Authors have often mystifed the pub
lie, but man who made business Of
mystifying professional writers is not

was the Rev. Francis Mahony, better
known as Father Prout." His favorito
trick was to take well known and pop.

guage, boldly assert that in its new
form 1t possessed great antiquity and
charge the author with having stolen it.
This trick he played on more than one
noted author during the early days Of
the present century. and each was sorely
puzzled to explain the identity Of the
poem which no knew to be his own with
that in a foreign language.
Prout translated Moore's Go Where
Glory Waits Thee" into excellent
French verse; attributed it to Mime. La
Comtosse de Chateaubriand and charged
Moore with having stolen it bodily. The
song, 'Lesbia Hath Beaming Eye, )"
he rendered into choice Latin and
claimed it as youthful production Of
his own, which he had once shown to
Moore Another of Prout S achievements
was the translation of Wolfe's Burial
of Sir John Moore" into French, claim
ing, at the same time, that the lines
were written by Colonel de Beaumanois,
who was killed at Pondicherry in 1749
Not satisfied with this, he proceeded
further and translated the lines into
German verse and stoutly declared that,
while Wolfe had stolen from the French
poet, the latter had in turn pilfered
from the German, the latter poem hay
ing, as he stated, been written to COM
memorate the death and burial of the
Swedish General Toistenson, who was
killed at the siege of Dantzic. Poor
Wolfe was dumfounded at seeing his
popularity disappear and was not much
oomforted when the hoax was discov-
cred. d.-Philadelphia Press.

DRESSING LIKE WOMEN.
A Time When Feminine Styles Were Pre-

A Time When Feminine Styles We're Pre-
ferred by Men.
In point of fact, the early medieval
man and woman looked as much alike az
the fin de steele wheelman and his BIZ
cycle girl. Take the king and queen in
O pack of cards. They are early medie-
val. Notice the surprising similarity
in their costumes-the same wide robes
and angular folds, the same stained
glass stiffness Novices at cards may be
excused for being at loss sometimes,
ut least until they have learned to look
for the kings beard.
With the wane of the age Of chivalry
there came singular exaggeration in
the toilet of men. They deliberately
initiated the women. They allowed
their hair TO grow long, cultivated curls
by the hot irons and ointments and ac-
tually wore chaplets, like diadems, to
curb their flowing locks In the texture
and color of their garments they showed
the same effeminacy, for they began to
affect brilliant reds and blues and to
wear costly trimmings and jewelry.
This, too, was the age of the signing,
wailing lover, fainting at his mistress
frown. Every knight who could write
or sing posed as a minstrel and re-
hearsed his love affairs. At every gath
ering of the nobility there was child
ish prattle Of love, oloying and monoto-
nous for very sweetness The sexes
seemed to have changed places. 1t was

Saturday evening. The occasion
was the illustrated lecture of Rev.
ID. p. Birnie on "The Holy Land. Z"
Mr.. c. Hedemann handled the
slides. As was to be expected the
lecture was interesting and very in
structive. 1t began with Alexan-
dria and Cairo in Egypt, and con
tinued northward into Palestine.
All the ground covered had been
visited and studied by the lecturer.
The illustrations were principally
what are known as the Cities OF
the Plain" mountains. rivers and
seas most closely identified with
Biblical history and the wonderful.
old ruins to be found here and there
over northern Palestine at the
present day. Most of the latter are
relics of Roman times. Among
those shown were the ruins of great
temples, Notifications and the old
Roman roads with deep cuts
through the mountains Among
the ruins were to be found hewn
stones as large as IA X u6 feet. The
columns and decorations, still to be
seen, were shown to be magnificent
specimens of art and workman
ship.
Among the historic places shown
were Damascus, Nazareth, the cities
around Gallilee, the Jordan, Mount
Tabor, Sinai, etc. All Of these
were very clear, giving a good idea
Of their appearance and relative To-
cations. incidentally there was a
view Of land supposed to be the site
Of ancient Capernaum, the city
which won the curse of Christ and
disappeared. Mr.. Birnie closed
with description Of the inhabitants
of Palestine and their mode cf liv-
ing at the present time. A view OF
his guide through the country was
the last upon the screen. He was

about tablespoonful Of dissolved washing

The september election is the Import

upon the size of the victory Republicans
will achieve. Two years ago the
Republican plurality was very large
although it WAS quiet election.
Democrats staid at home election dav.
Four years ago, the last presidential year,
the Republican plurality was l2,523.
This year in September, because Of the
importance of the issues, Republicans
should poll larger vote than four years
ago and every Republican in Maine,
should be at the polls and vote on IL e
right side, and for the business interest 8
of the country. The Democratic party
has succeeded in securing as allies this
year, pnpulsts, free silver advocates.
and all the enemies of honest money and
good government, and are determined TO
win if abandonment of principle and
desperate effort can accomplish it. 1t
will be disaster for our country, should
this unholy combination succeed. No
one can forecast the extent of such a
disaster, Maine is among the States to
be first in the fray, and she should and
will do her whole duty. The time is
short. But six short weeks before cleo
ton and Republicans must get down to
solid work without delay, if we gain a
victory at all in proportion to the im.
portance of the issues of the campaign.
