JUST WHAT'S NEEDED

Exclaim thousands of people who
have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at
this season of the year, and who have
noted the success of the medicine in
giving them relief from that tired feel
ing, waning appetite and state of ex
treme exhaustion after the close CON
finement of a long winter season, the
busy time attendant upon large and
pressing business during the spring
months and with vacation time yet
some weeks distant. 1t is then that
the building-up powers of Hoods Sar-
saparilla are fully appreciated. 1t
seems perfectly adapted to overcome
that prostration caused by change OF
season, climate or life, and while it
tones and sustains the system, it puri-
fes and vitalizes the blood

scour the ground of their enclosure
that not even frogs were permitted to
live there. The large, dusky mottled
worms from one to three inches long
which infest walnut trees were eaten
with the greatest avidity by the pleas
ants. Some of the young chicks of the
pleasants refused the larvae of the po-
tato bug. The grown-up birds, how
ever, were not so particular and goE-
bled the larvae with complacency.
The Mongolian pheasant has these
two great advantages-he is fine
game bird and excellent for eating.
Indeed there are some gourmets who
aver that in flavor and tenderness the
Mongolian exceed those of the English
pheasant.

and is full of vigor and is always on
the alert.
As al illustration of the hardness of
these birds Commissioner Bracket. of
Massachusetts, says that in August
last small box containing one hen
and six small pheasants about three
| weeks old was sent to him from Van
couver. They were eight days on the
journey, with no other food than dry
| wheat and water. When the box was
placed in the aviary and opened the
pheasants "burst from it like rockets
At the Massachusetts aviary near
Winchester it was found that the
young Mongolians are very hardy al.
ter they are three weeks old. At that
age they begin to fly over the high
wire fence into the adjoining woods.
These chicks would return to the
coops at night unlil they were six Or
eight weeks old, when they often stay
ed away from one or two weeks.
1t is believed that they will easily
thrive in Cape Cod. If the expert
ment in Massachusetts is as successful
as that in Oregon the Mongolian
pheasants may overrun the whole of
New England and become common in
| the woods about New York
The only question is as to their food
in winter. During the winter they eat
scrub oak acorns, barberries, haws of
the wild rose, berries of the privet,
moss found on trees and stumps and
grass seed and evergreens. 1t is not
knows whether they feed on buds or
not. They have practically the same
habits as the turkey, prairie chicken
and quail, and it is believed can find
their own food in winter as easily as

She left her wheel with sprightly jump,

And she blushed as she gave it. looking down

Then said the Judge as he pumped away.

He spoke of the grass and the flowers and tree:

And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over her blOOmers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed, alack-a-d day!
The Judge remounted and rode away.
Maud Muller looked and sighed, "Ah me.

The ceremony having been perform
ed, the horses shoe was quickly set
and the horse led to the door.
"How much shall pay YOU" asked
the parson, who had prided himself
upon never owing man a penny. even
over night.

complished. let us be on our way.

So they started out and finding re-
Inducements at almost every house it
was quite Il cavalcade that drew up
at the Abbott mansiOn-a little late
to be sure, but Mistress Abbott was
too glad to see her brother-in-law riding
gallantly at the head of the company
to have her becoming serenity ruftied
even when he said:
"My daughter has not broken her
word to you, Sister Abbott She is nc
longer Mollie Glazier, but Mistress
Richard Wolcott, and YOU are all invit-
eel to my house to their second day
wedding tomorrow"
Mistress Abbott welcomed her niece
and nephew with the most aft, ctionate
cordiality, but could not forbear saying
with dignity:
Il performed very unpleasant duty
in speaking to Niece Moll v as | did
but this happy event was the result.
She never would have married Richard
Wolcott had it not been for me-"
Perhaps it should be added that the
young couple never regretted their
hasty match, and that it is still Il mat
ter of pride to the living Glaziers that
one of their family married a kinsman
of the famous Roger Wolcott, who laid
ont the Wolcott road, as the ancient
thoroughfare is still called.

A PARTISAN SCHOOL BOARD

For the first time in twenty years the
county board of education is run on a
strictly partisan basis Professors Mer-
edith and Milard, who are displaced
by the new members, are among the
ablest and most experienced school men
in this state. Professor Millard has been
at the head of one of the largest schools
in the city for many years. Major Mere
dith has been either county superintend-
ent or member of board of education
for more than twenty years, and is rec
ognized as one of the most scholarly
men in the profession in this state
AS the new board stands there is but
one member who is connected with the
grammar or primary schools-Professor
Williams of Compton. Professor Gra-
ham, one of the new members, came here
from Canada a few years ago, and Mr.
Smith of Santa Monica came from Ne
vada.
Neither the precedents of a score of
years nor the admitted ability and fidcl-
ity of the displaced gentlemen We're
enough to deter the board of supervis-
ors from the task of converting the coun-
ty school board into a Republican ma
chine. Nothing should deter the people
from converting the supervisors who did
the work into private citizens at the
earliest practicable moment.

finance but has been consistent in his
protectionism. He believes, If his record
Is to be accepted, in tariff laws that will
keep things out except to the extent
that their importation may be necessary
to raise little revenue, and he has been
strongly opposed to any recognition of
the spirit of free trade such as is evi-
denced in reciprocity treaties. The re-
ciprocity features of the Mckinley law,
as the tariff act of 1890 is known, were
inserted without his approval. The re-
ciprocity provisions Of that act were
concessions to the Blaine element of the
Republican party. At caucus of Re
publican members of the house held on
the Sth of February, 1890, reciprocity as
outlined by Blaine, was suggested for
the tariff act then incubating and Nc
Kinley fought the idea and for the time
being fought it successfully. But recip-
rocity went in ultimately, presumably as
the price of harmonious Republican ac-
ton in congress when the bill came up.
But nobody ever heard of the sage of
Canton boasting loudly about the recip-
rocity clause of the tariff act of 1890.
He has had no criticism to offer, for the
double reason that the measure as
enacted by Republican congress and
signed by Republican president. If he
is capable of a modicum of reasoning
he cannot escape the conclusion, though
he may keep the fact to himself, that
the espousal of reciprocity constitutes
betrayal of protectionism.

Eirst Carriape In r1aine

The Rev. Francis Winter was native
of Boston and graduate of Harvard
college. He came to Bath early in 1867,
and, after preaching on probation for the
orthodox church, was invited to settle,
which invitation he accepted. He waE
ordained in the autumn of the same
year. He came to Bath on horseback,
in company with Lemuel Standsh. Mr..
Winter came from Boston, where he had
associated with such eminent men as
Adams, Otis and Warren, himself be-
coming an ardent patriot, taking the
lead in the revolutionary measures
adopted in Bath during that memorable
period. Mr. Winter married Miss Abb
gail Alden in 17e8 and it is thrugh her
that the Winters of today trace their
ancestry back to the Puritan maiden
of Plymouth
Three years after the marriage of the
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden,
they started to visit a sister of Mrs. Win
ter. living in Connecticut, and intended
to ride all the way on horseback, but
Mrs. Winter became so fatigued that Mr..
Winter sold one of the horses for a car
riage and harness. 1t was the firsa
carriage that ever entered into Maine,
and was called a chaise. Travelling was
so difficult that two negroes were en-
ployed to accompany them with shovels
and axes to clear the road. Several
times the chaise had to be taken apart
and lifted over fallen trees. The minis
ter's parishioners thought that it was
putting on too much style for their pas
tor to ride in a carriage, and in conse-
quence Mr.. Winter sold it, This was in
