Jack Frost

Came over to visit us on
the Steamer Australia. He
encased himself comfortably
in one of our Alaska Ice
Chests, and slowed his grub
away in one of our Alaska
RefrigeratOrs. of which we
have sizes and prices to suit
either Jack or his wife Jill.
Instead of a gripSack, Jack
carried a Gem Ice Cream
Freezer, and as fast as he
tWirled the freezer the ice
cream began to heap up
around him so that he had
to empty it into one of our
Painted Iron Bath Tubs,
which suited the spectators
to a T; for they all helped to
eat up the ice cream, and
then bought all the bath tubs
before we could get them to
the store. Never mind! We.
can get more of them, if you
want one.
Jack got one Of Captain
Houdlette's men to SWab
him down every morning
and he enjoyed the stream
of water that issued from
our "a inch Garden Hose,
which we carry in p and sol
feet lengths. Jack is our
Mascotte and will prove a
veritable frost to competitors.
He is no relation of Jack

Well Worth Telling.

WELL KNOWN SENATOR TELLS A REMARK
ABLE STORY. NO POSSIBLE DOUBT AS TO
ITS ABSOLUTE TRUTH, FROM THE HIGH
STANDING OF THE SENATOR. HIGHER THE
POSITION, MORE INTERESTING THE FACTS.
OUR READERS EAGER FOR JUST SUCH DE-
TAILS.
Senator Frank Plumey of Mortified, VT,
is man of national reputation. No man
to-day stands more prominently before the
people of the State of Vermont than he.
A lawyer by profession, he was elected to
the House of Representatives in 1882, is
Trustee of Schools, Trustee of Northtield
Bank and Trustee of Norwich University
Ia Military School under patronage of the
L. S. GovernmenD, has been Trustee of the
Montpelier Seminary, Chairman of the Re-
publican State Convention in 1886, Delegate
at large TO the Republican National Conven-
ton in 1855, was United States Attorney for
Vermo Mt 1889 to 1884, and is State SEN
ator.
Senator Plumley is we'll known through
out the United States, having been selectt d
by the National Republican Committee as
speaker to stump the State of Michigan for
Blaine in 1884, and again in 1888 and 1892 he
spoke through the West for the Repub lican
presidential candidate.
When he came out of the presidential
campaign in '92, owing to overwork he was
almost a complete nervous wreck.
To our representative the Senator said
SIN the fall of 1892 I came out of the pres
idental campaign with my nervous system
almost broken.
Rest and ordinary remedies did not assist
me. Some of my personal friends advised
me to take a course of DR.. Greene'S medi-
clnes, which l did with entire success.
81 use DR.. Greenes Nervura blood and
nerve remedy for that exhaustion caused bv
long continued mental work, and think well
of it,"
We understand that Senator Pumley's
cure is radical and complete, and while we
| con graduate the popular Senator on his re-
covery, we cannot but add that this is dis
tinct triumph for that marvellous medicine
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, which, owing to the high standing
of Senator Pumley, and the fact that he is
so widely known, will give DR.. Greene's
Neryura a great boom.
The remedy deserves it, for it is in truth
most wonderful curer of disease, a restora-
tive and invigorator which stands at the
present day without a rival in making peo-
pie well a remedy which is always sure to
cure. to give health and strength, to make
whoever uses it strong and vigorous.
TINS most valuable remedy is not patent
medicine and should not be classed as such
for it is the discovery and prescription of
one of our leading specialists in nervous ami
chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 81 Temple
Place, Boston, Mass. The doctor gives an
added value to his great remedy by allowing
all who desire to consult him without charge
either in person or through the mail.

THE SYSTEM SORT OF CIVIL PIRACY.
The New Bedford Mercury, a short
time ago, had a long description of the
new barge Forest Belle We are certain
ly much obliged for the advertising for
Bath, for although the barge interests
and the interests of the Bath schooner
trade are opposed, we, as sllipbuilders.
are always glad TO build barges.
There We're, however, some statements
made i'll the course of the article to which
We must take exception.
First, the Mercury states that s'schoon-
ers are back number" Not So AL
though the barges are cutting down the
profits OF those SchOOnerS which thew
have not sent to the bottom, they are not
making any money themselves, and when
Congress gives the schooners justice, and
compels the tugs to tow one barge at a
time, humane measure that should
come soon, the barges will tie up at their
Wharves never to appear on the ocean
again.
Secondly, the Mercury states that ''the
biggest barges can get along comfortably
with four or five men, AS a matter OF
fact, they often do get along with two
men, as has been previously stated in the
Times. This very thing has been the
cause of many of the collisions which
have been so destructive of life and prop
erty. Two men cannot properly handle a
big vessel even when in tow, and if atten-
ton were given to the proper manning of
these craft there would not be many dol
lars in them for the owners.
The barge SYSTEM as we previously
stated, is sort of civil piracy, and our
law makers cannot long turn deaf ear to
the cries for aid of those interested in the
coasting trade, whose lives and property
are constantly menaced by the mile long
strings of barges which ravage our coasts.

conditions are the same.
We live too fast, work too hard, drink too much,
sleep too little keep our nerves the strain and
jump all The time.
There are two classes of fast livers
Those who work too hard and too long
Those who do rot work at all.
Both classes are reaching the same end thouph
perhaps, by somewhat different routes
Ihey are burning the candle at both ends and
even child can predict the result.
There Will Be No Candle Shortly.
Increased speed in ANY machine human or
otherwise, means increased wear and tear and
waste. ~
increased work for the kidneys, whose place it is
to remove poisons an impurities Increased
kidney work means increased strain upon those
organs, and increased strain without rest or re
lief means disease.
This is why so many fast livers, hard workers.
hard drinkers, and hard smokers die of Bright 8
disease.
Many men not satisfied with the harm their
overwork or fast life is doing them must need to
the system tn t still further add to the work of
the kidneys and initiate and intiane these organs
We refer to Alcohol, Tobacco, and opiates.
Surely there are enough posons and impurities
in our blood already without adding more
And yet we do it with the mistaken idea that
we stimulate our brains, increase our appettes,
or soothe our nerves.
Take The Strain of Your Kidneys.
They are toiling day and night in your behalf as
Don't add to their burdens unless you are anx-
louS to issue invitations for funeral.

No tonnage was built in the districts of
York and Saco.
1t will be seen that Bath, Machias and
Waldoboro districts did practically all the
building. They did better than was ex-
Pected, but the showing is rather dis
couraging compared with that of former
years. At one time in 1890, the month
of May, there were on the stocks in Bath
two very large ships, % schooners and a
yacht, aggregating %, 800 tons, while
four schooners and barge, representing
1000 tons were under contract and from
Jan. LIST to May LIST of that year there
were launched from Bath yards the Rap
pahannock and st. Mary, two steamers
and eight schooners, of an aggregate ton
mage of II, 095 so that in the first four
months of 1890 there were launch he'd, on
the stocks or under contract in the dis
trict about Al, 600 tons, more than three
times the entire output of the State in
1895.
In that same year Waldoboro district
had on the stocks or under contract 10. 637
tons, Belfast 10, 7SS, and Machias 6,OOO
While other districts We're building in pro-
portions. This boom was caused by a
rise ID trelghts in the preceding wear, and
it appears that the business was overdone
for there has been no such activity since.
The prospect for 1896 is rather en-
couragng, and there is no doubt that
more tonnage will be built than in 1895.
At Millbridge Sawyer Brothers will build
a 25O-ton three masted schooner and a
1,OOO-ton four-master. schooner of 40
tons is ready for launching at North
Brooksville. At Camden II. NJ Bean has
contracts for two large schooners and Nc
Donald q Brown of Belfast are building
ourmasted barkentine for c. Morton
Stewart & Co. of Baltimore-a coffee
clipper for the Rio trade.
In the Waldoboro district, Washburn
Brothers of Thomaston, have begun work
on a large schooner for Massachusetts
parties, this being the third contract they
have lately taken. In Bath they have a
number of new contracts, besides vessels
already on the stocks, including an 800
ton four master for New York parties
With government contract or two Bath
would make good showing this year
The only thing that can give shipbuld
ing lift in this State is decided
strengthening of the coastwise and West
India freight market. Until that comes
we shall see no more big figures in the
statistics OF new tonnage.
