ing out for lodgings, On MT Smith N Aliens prompting the Waterville Young Mems Christian association as- stunned the responsibility of establish ing a stone-breaking yard, spot on the edge of the woods on the outside of the town was chosen, a tent erected, and MT, Allen was placed in autocratic control. Everybody sent the men who applied for food to the tramp camp. There they were set to work fitting up the camp. The first thing done was to fit a large pond for bathing purposes and to fence it round with brush. Then cooks, tailors barbers, wood- choppers, walters and other special workers were chosen. Those who could be said to be skilled were exempt from stone-breaking if there was call for their skill in the colony. The stone to work upon was gathered from the neighboring farms. Fitting up the camp and gathering the stones consum- ed half of the twenty-six days during which the camp was maintained, but at the close there were four hundred tons of broken stone to show. The stone is needed at Waterville for road-maklng purposes and is valued at $1.15 ton. The cost of running the camp, no mon- ey being paid for the services of any one connected with it, was $S75 The total number of men put at work was 7S0, and of these GA were under four teen years of age. One good work done was in inducing the boys to return home, or placing them, if they had no home, where they would be able to earn an honest living.

THE ARK4NSAS ERECTION.

The State election in Arkansas oc- CUTS to-day, and it is expected that about the usual Democratic majority will be provided If the voters don't provide it the counters are expected to. General Powell Clayton, the Ar kansas member of the Republican Ma tional committee, has received informa- ton that the Democratic election com missioners in the counties of Critten- den, Lee, Philips, Pulaski, Desha, Lin- coin, Jefferson, Woodruff, Garland, Hampstead, Chicot, Crawford, and others, have appointed judges of elec- tion of their own choosing and have positively refused to appoint judges satisfactory to the Republicans or ask ed for by the Republican commission CTS. The counties named are those containing the largest Republican vote Heretofore, action similar to this has resulted either in the suppression of the Republican votes or the counting of them for Democratic candidates and it probably will this time.
 Therefore it is not expected that Ar kansas will furnish much encourage ment to the cause of honest money But Maine will next week.

He had eight or ten good weakfsh, sev- eral dogfish and young shark in the

boat.
 If weakfish can be caught this way, assuredly bluefish can if the kites are large enough and are. attended before the fish have time to unlock them selves. The writer remembers hearing years ago of attacking small gas bal loon to one end of a piece of wood, which was foated over the water, it having a hook and line at the other end. When the fish bit, the wood as- sumed an upright position by the plunge of the fish. This was worked with European fish, such as perch and bream, which, when they feel the hook, make for the deepest water within one hundred yards, and there sulk, instead of gallantly fighting it out as the bulk of American fish would do.-New York Sun.

It conferred up- on the traveller privacy" and this was cheaply purchased at the expense of virtual imprisonment without food or warmth or any of the conveniences which Americans think essential But London Engineers now says that the compartment system 'has passed its meridian" and that the American cars introduced in England have proved so noprlar that before long they will be universally adopted for all long dist ance traffic.

Over fifty thousand draught dogs are in use in Belgium, drawing milk and vegetable carts and other light vehicles, being generally hitched with the hardy Belgian woman. There is a regular dog market where the animals may be purchased cbeaply, and the industry figures largely in the eity's business They are more generally used In Bel gium than in any other European coun- try, although it has been repeatedly urged that the substitution of small horses and donkeys would be more ad- visable, as the latter animals might be converted into sausage when they be- came too old for work. There seems to be a deep-rooted aversion to putting the worn-out dogs to such a use.

With better understanding of the
w transient nature OF the many phys

forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge. that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a constipated condl-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs. prompt
lv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions Of families, and IS
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilit ating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
eli important in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that You have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the CAN
fornia Fig Syrup Co, only and sold by
all reputable druggists -,
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laXatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skill lful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup or
Figs stands highest nd is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
