How 1e Was Received and ER0ded hy Che
 EnGlish Public.
 This famous "gin law," passed in 1786, is interesting as the earliest se- were blow at liquor dealing among civ- gallon on spirits. and a license of e5O for any one selling or dealing in them. And. being in advance of public opin- lon. 1t failed. much as other more stringent prohibition laws have failed in our own day. For the cry was at once raised that 1t taxed the poor man. s gin and let the rich mans wine go free Every wit, every oartcatuFist, had his fling st 1t Ballads were hawked around telling of the approaching death of Mother Gin The liquor shops were hung with black and celebrated uproariously Mime GeneVas lying in state, her funeral, her wake and SO on. The night before the law went into effect. so the contemporary journals say, there was a universal revel all over the country. Every one drank hts fill and carried home as much gin be- sides as he could pay for.
 To evade the law apothecartes cold 1t in vials and small packages some times colored and disguised. generally under false labels, such as "Colto Water," "Make Shift Ladies De light There were printed directions on someef these packages-e g.. ''Take two or three spoonfuls three or four times day, or as often as the fit takes you Informers were very prominent and exceedingly offensive, inventing snares to catch lawbreakers for the sake of the heavy rewards, and spying and sneakinR around in a way particularly distasteful to the English mind In con- sequence they suffered tn their turn. The mere cry, Liquor spy." was enough to raise mob in the London streets, and the informer was lucky If he escaped with 8 sound thrashtng and ducking in the Thames or the nearest horse pond. Indeed. such an outcry was made about the matter that the mints- try became very unpopular, and the law was not enforced after two or three years, and was largely modified in 174a. after seven years trial.-Popuiar Soi- enoe Monthly.

Special Message to Men.

When the desolating fact of impaired vigor comes home to men the force of the blow Is crushing. They know themselves inferior to their fellows, and they shrink from companionship. Their ambition is gone, and hope with 1t. When hope van- ishes despair takes its place. All this Is without warrant, for these men can be cured. Dr. Greene, the famous specialist in mems diseases, has found the remedies that restore vitality in men. These rem- edies build up and strengthen, and thou sands of men walk the earth to-day who have been permanently restored to vigor- ous manhood by their use. Weakness vanishes, hope and ambition return, and the patient Is truly a new man. Dr. Greene's glorious discoveries are the safe- guard of many thousand homes to-day. His wonderful Nervura alone has made him famous. You may consult Dr. Greene at his office, 35 West 14th Street, New York City, or write to him, and there will be absolutely no charge for consulta- tion or advice in either case, whether you call or write. The system of treatment by mail is perfect, and is absolutely con- fldential.

 The action of the town of Wilmington in building road to connect with the one proposed .a Stafford, has greatly encour- aged the friends of the road, being con- sidered as evidence that the towns south and east of us want the road.
 At the school meeting for district No. 8, held last Saturday evening, W. D. Heald was chosen committee; w. G. Fowler, clerk J. W. Chandler, treasurer, and E. T.Converse, collector. It was voted to enclose the grounds about the school house with..a good substantial fence. Misses Washburn & Francis have re- moved their millinery and dressmaking rooms from the corner store in Baker & Heald's row to the room over Heald's store, in the same row. John Brown will take the store vacated by them, and will put in a stock of dry goods, shoes and other articles.
 There are agricultural societies all u6s UAASA d1 70 JuSb uOW their fall exhibitions, but there are none of these convenient for the manufacturers and agriculturalists of this section. That at Rockville Is too far away, and besides, Is growing to be very local institution. There should be an agricultural society formed out of towns of western Windham and northern and eastern Holland coun- ties. This idea Is not original with us, but has been frequently broaohed by in terested parties within 8 year or two past. We hope the matter will be taken hold of before another fall and something done about it.
 At the town meeting held at Wilmington last Monday the town voted, by large majority, to build the new road from Burnham Lillibridge's to Stafford line, the voters thinking it wiser to build the road than to fight It first, making cost to the town, and then having to build 1t after all

Palmer Journal: Seldom does the New England farmer get an opportunity to make fair days pay for himself and team by hauling from his land the stone with which so many farms are cumbered And when he does he appreciates the snap, as is evidenced by the number of Palmer farmers anxious to haul stone to the crusher for use in building the macad- am road. The price paid is from 20 to 40 cents ton, depending on quality, and so many wanted to bring stone that Superin- tendent Brainerd was obliged to divide them into two gangs, each to haul three days a week. Some of the farmers have been making $4.50 day, and hauling considerable distances at that.

Sick-poison is a poison which makes you sick. 1t comes from the stomach. The stomach makes 1t out of undigested food.
 The blood gets in and taints the whole body with 1t. That's the way of it.
 The way to get rid of 1t Is to look after your digestion. .--
 If your food Is all properly digested, there will be none left in the stomach to make sick-poison out of. -s
 If your stomach Is too weak to see to this properly by itself, help it along with a few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
 That's the cure of it.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial Is delicious, healthful tonic cordial, made of pure medicinal plants, herbs and wine. It positively cures indigestion and pre- vents the formation of sick-poison. ! At druggists. Trial bottles 10 cents.

Aside from the great historical interest
