The past week was unusually favor
ed in social events, partly perhaps be-
cause of the advent of Lent and partly
because of unusual events by
various organizations. Mrs. Ag-

R. Swan stand out prominently,
while the Lincoln club exercises, the
Degree of Honor banquet and enter
tainment, together with the Knights
of Pythias' anniversary exercises, were
notable affairs of more public char

Milburn Clubs Reception.

A fact which has frequently been
observed was again demonstrated
last Friday evening, namely, that when
the Milburn Club undertake anything
thing they make success of it. It's
no halfway success either.
On this occasion the club gave re-
ception to their lady friends, which was
a very social and delightful affair. The
program was so arranged that all could
enjoy themselves according to their in
diyidual tastes. The club rooms were
at the disposal of the guests and Mil
burn hall was engaged for dancing.
Kendall's orchestra played several Sc
lections in the parlor during the first
part of the evening, and afterwards fur
nished the music for the dancers.
A delicious lunch was served in the
billiard room by caterer Deano.
The evening as whole was exceed
ingly pleasant and will go on record as
one of the important social events of
the winter.

Thomas a. Edison has been deyoting
his time in his labratory for the past
few weeks to searching for means of
making Mays assist the naked eye in
seeing through solid flesh. He has
succeeded in contriving a portable
X-ray apparatus which will permit
hospital surgeons and physicians to
examine an injured limb and to see the
interior of the arm or leg while using
their instruments in operations So that
no unnecessary cutting or probing will
be done. This apparatus is called the
Horoscope and fastened over the eyes
looks like a large pair of spectacles
without lenses. Mr.. Edison hope is
to perfect it so as to be able to see
easily through all parts of the head or
body. Now it is possible for him to
see through the tissues of the arm, leg
and shoulder and locate every bone
clearly. The Horoscope itself is not an
expensive machine, but the experiment
ing in order to know how to produce
it has cost Mr.. Edison thousands of
dollars and he has worked on an average
of twenty hours day.

The Maine Central general passenger
department receives great many
peculiar requestS for information. A
few days ago information was asked in
regard to tickets to South Africa.
Then came two requests for information
in regard to State of Maine summer re-
sorts and means of reaching them, one
was from Hong Kong, China, and the
other from Switzerland. 1t is needless
to say that the desired information was
very promptly furnished. But the
strangest of all was from Georgia
party who wanted to know about the
winter and summer climate of Lake
wood, y. j., rates of tickets and
whether the road could furnish them
Georgia to New Jersey by the way of
Maine seems rather a roundabout route
but the Georgia resident probably
thought Maine must be in the line of all
good things.

that seventy per cent of the human race

lived according to the laws of hygiene
The present average is thirty-five years,

lived up to, and that there must be a
good deal of change before the natural
limit can be reached.

Bradstreets says:-The week has
brought more favorable weather, which
tends to create better feeling. Trade
except at Baltimore, Minneapolis, st.
Paul, Chicago, and to moderate de
gree as to other points, remains dull and
unsat isfactory. The most encouraging
feature is the advance in the prices of
wheat, indian corn, bessemer and big
iron. While there have been larger
sales of dry goods, shoes, hardware,
iron and leather at Chicago, business
in other lines continues slow. The
check in the demand for groceries and
provisions at the south is due to the
Southern planters having raised larger
food crops this year
