\ Few Words on Books.

A good remark some body made once is
that if you own books you do not have
to read them. That is, il you hear OF a
certain book, you say, 81 must get that
out OF the library and read it, If you do
so, it is necessary to read it at once and
return it. II you can buy it, you read
what portion satisfies your particular
want at the moment, and then there it
stands among your other good friends,
always ready, like any real frend,to serve
you at a moments notice in any way 1t
can. Indeed, it Is a real friend, because it
never deserts you, never goes back on
you, never changes, unless somebody
borrows it, and that is not the books
fault.
The mere fact that your room is filled
with books is a good kind of influence,
for there is something i'll the mere prox-
unity OF books that makes chap serious
occasionally, and induces him 10 SIT and
ponder once in a while in the midst of
his grind, his sport, his daily work, and
his other and less valuable friends at
school or college.
Then, too, in these days, when there
are SO many hundreds OF books year
and so many millions already published,
1t Is utterly impossible to try to read, rs
the Old fellows in the later Middle Ages
used to, everything that is published. 1t
is far better to re-read some good familiar
things again and again. They are good
books, they are your especial favorItes,
and you viii seldom fail to find some
thing new in them each time you read
them. 1t gives you a little idea OF how
much the writing of them must have
meant to their auth If you can read them
say. twenty times, and stil go on tind ing
sonnet hing you had not succeeded III dis
covering III them betore.-Hdrper'

Blunt's Pond Saw Mill.

The new saw mill at Blunt's pond, La
moline, is running night and day. The
mill is turning out long lumber and
shingles, and when this business grows
slack, expects to fill in the time saving
slaves.
The mill has started veritable build
ing boom in Lamone, and the farmers
who have timber land are hauling logs
up to the mill to be sawed, and there is a
great patching-up time on farm houses
and buildings, while some are planning
more ella borate Improvements.
Edward G. Burnham, son of Orrin X.
Burnham, OF Ellsworth. is the prophet or
of the mill. He is now employing about
fifteen hands.

Endurance of Horses.

Horses do not possess an equal degree
of endurance; long road VIII tell harder
on one than it would on another. A little
refreshment given the horse during a
long drive or haul will keep its power up
wonderfully and this is easily provided.
A pound or two OF rye-tour stirred in
half pail of water will make very
nutritious drink for the horse, and can
be given with perfect safety even when
the animal is heated. The stage horses i'll
Italy are given such drink at regular
intervals during their long and tiresome
journeys over mountainous roads; the
effect is much more immediate than If
oats were given.

Tuberculosis Near Bangor.

The cattle commissioners last Friday
ordered killed sixteen cows belonging to
milkman near Bangor, which were
infected with tuberculosis. Commits
sioner Beal thinks that about 100 head OF
cattle in the vicinity of Bangor will have
to be killed.
Bangor milkmen have generally recog
nized the fact that their customers will
demand that they have certificates from
the cattle com nissioners showing that
their cattle are not diseased, and a great
majority have applied for examination of
their herds. The Importance of havin &
this disease exterminated is being
realized.

County Commissioners.

The county commissioners last week
transacted considerable routine business.
1t was really the first regular meeting of
the new board. Perry w. Richardson is
the newly elected chairman, and Nahum
HinckIey, of Bluehill, and John P.
Eldridge, Of Ellsworth, complete what
promises to be a working board, and a
board, too, that will work with good
judgment.
One important move contemplated is
the appointment of more fire wardens in
order to secure better protection from
forest fires. The commissioners propose
to appoint at least six wardens in diff
ferent parts of the county. Heretofore
there have been only two wardens. The
wardens will probably be appointed at
the next meeting of the commissioners.
The commissioners are also working
some reforms in the affairs OF the office,
one of the most important of which is the
arrangement of a system OF indexing
papers and documents which will greatly
facilitate the handling of business.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

During the past week large numbe
of letters has been mailed to graduates
and exmembers of the high school ask
ing aid in establishing a school library
The school needs a much larger library in
order to fit for college with as much
thoroughness as other schools having
this advantage. Subscriptions will
be received by Mr.. Moore, who will be
guided in his purchase of books by the
trustees Of the city library. The letters
are meeting with liberal response.
Capt. Dunn of the ball team is looking
forward to the baseball season, when he
intends to have his team in condition
to tackle any strictly high school nine OF
the State. None of the old players ex-
cepting Phillips has left school, and there
will probably be hot race for his posi-
ton when the season opens.
There is little fear that there will be no
football eleven to represent the school
next fall, although several of last years
team will be unable to play the game on
account of absence from town. But there
Is material for light eleven, which, Oh a
dry field, often proves match for one of
greater weight. Football would be a
drawing card for the county fair.
LYCEUM.
"Should Maine allow woman equal suf
frage with MANI" was the question
debated in the yceum Friday. The result
WAS a surprise. With much larger
number of girls than boys in the
lyceum and with few boys who were
gallant or broad minded enough to vote
for women, it was expected that the
school woald decide for the affirmative,
but the voting resulted 30 to 40 in favor
OF the negative.
The principals in the discussion We're
Misses Ray Whiting and Maude Smit h
on the affirmative against Whiting and
Whitmore. They all had well-written
arguments, but the committee appointed
for the purpose of selecting the side
which was presented in the ablest man
ner, awarded the palm to the young
ladies.
Miss Salisbury, Miss Roberts and
Louis Cook were the judges. Extempo-
raneous remarks were made by Miss
Mullan, Miss Wiggin, Miss Friend
Echenagucia, Charles w. Campbell, Dunn,
Rowe, Albert Stock bridge and Grows.
Other features of the afternoons pro-
gramme We're declarations by Albert
Stockbridge. Henry Campbell, Charles
w. Campbell, Miss Tower, Miss Brady,
Arthur Alley, Electromagnetic, Dunn, Cox
and James Stockbridge; and music by
Miss Grace Lord and Hiss Walker.
Next Friday the lyceum debate will be
upon the respective treatment Of the red
men and the black by the United States
government.

Evangelist Evarts in BluphiII.

On Jan. % Evangelist c. l.. Evarts, of
Boston, began series of Union Gospel
meetings in Bluehill. The attendance
aud interest have steadily grown up to
date.
MIR. Evarts devoted the first week to
pllin, sLraig ht forward talk to Christian
people only. The professed Christian
people of the town heard some very
wholesome truth.
Mr.. Evarts evidently considers that the
Lord has no use for the too prevalent
type of half-and- half Christian-half for
God and half for the devil.
While Christian people have been hear
ing truth they needed to hear, non pro-
fessors have been getting pretty good
up-to- date motto of what it means to be
follower Of Christ in a. d. 1897.
Three services were held Sunday, all
largely attended. Evangelist Evarts
knows how to say plain things in a win
some way, making free use OF telling il
Illustrations.
Monday evening the first talk was given
to the unconverted, and when the invita-
ton was given, some thirty-five arose to
express their desire to become Christia ns
Among the number were some Of the
strong business men OF the town.
Mr.. Evarts sings with autoharp ac-
compartment. Everybody seems to like
this Boston evangelist. He has much
needed quality Of leaders OF the public
gentlemanliness and common sense. He
never suffar3 the int crest of his and ience
to flag.
Mr.. Evarts expects to hold meetings
during this week and next.
