the deficiency in the expenses Of col
iccLiig the revenues from customs.
Mr.. Hopkins called attention to the
difference between the result of the
Wilson -Gorman tariff law and the re-
suit under the Mckinley act. In
1892. while the Mckinley law was in
force, the Harrison administration
collected $3.50. 1872 ,o6I at M expense
Of 81, 49, 1855. But in the yGni; 1896,

The~Degree Staff of Dorcas Rebekah
I.oge, which have been drilling for the
past six months, under the efficient
leadership of Horace Whitman of this
city, have recently purchased of c. c.
Fuller, Worcester, Mass, Il very fine
paraphernalia at an estimated cost of
$500. Mr.. Fuller came here, Tuesday
afternoon, with the outfit, consisting of
10 plush and satin robes and four very
handsome white satin banners. All
who saw the outfit, and the work of
the staff on that evening, are loud in
their praises of both. The choice of
Colors and the artistic combinations
certainly reflect great credit on Mr.
Fuller's good taste, as we'll as upon the
committee who had the matter in
charge. The staff have put in a great
amount of time and labor in getting
into working order, and are confident
that they will be amply repaid by hav-
ing lots of new members added to their
numbers, and by seeing a larger at
tendance than ever of their old MEM
bcrS.

A Maine farmers Rottle.

An old man-72, he said-was the cen.
ter of interest on a Maine Central train re.
Gently. He had with him a complicated
bottle puzzle, first invented 25 years ago,
and from that day to this S25 has awaited
the man who could make one like it. The
inventor is Mr.. Almon Sawyer, a substan.
tial citizen of the good old farming town
OF Madison, Me. The bottle might per-
hnps hold a little less than quart of
water. Tho bulk of the space below the
neck Is occupied by nicely constructed
reel pinned together. The reel is no tliInsy
affair that might have been passed through
the neck of the bottle and then given its
present appearance; but, as man said
must have been built and pinned together
down there
The neck of the bottle was compactly
nlled by piece of wood extending down
almost to the reel. 1t was a single piece
OF wood, as Mr.. Sawyer took occasion TO
show, and yet below the neck there was a
crosspicce through this centerpiece This
crosspiece extended almost to the glass on
each side and was secured by q stout pin
passing through the center and again on
the side. This side pin passed through ono
Of the arms, and in turn was secured bv a
second pin The crosspiece and pins puz-
zled all who looked at them. Portland
