Maine's Smallest Town.

The smallest corporate community in
Maine is the town of Hurricane Island in
Penobscot bay, fifteen miles east from
Rockland. From 1874 to 1878 stone for
the United States post office and court
house at st. Louis was quarried and cut
upon Hurricane Island, giving employ
ment to more than 1000 men. The island
was owned by Gen. Davis Tillson of Rock
land, who conceived the idea of forming
it into a town and laying it out in
streets like city, the poll taxes paying
the bills. TWAS incorporated in February,
1878. Soon after that the Government
patronage stopped, and the valuation of
the town fell from 81, 00O,O 600 to about
$40, 600. The population is now about $50.
The men are engaged in cutting paving
stone and fishing. The whole town con-
sists of 120 acres, rs of which are com
posed of granite lodges and refuse from
the abandoned stone quarries.

One of the bodices depicted with plain
skirt of dark blue canvas weave material
over violet silk is made of a daintily flow
cred French organdie, and is finished with
a white collar of linen and a smart tie.
The most serviceable of all skirts, a
plain black satin, is shown with a chic
bodice of white satin covered with black
gauze. A deep collar reaching to the
shoulders in the back and forming a tiny
jacket in the front is made of white satin
covered with heavy, jetted black lace.
The unique sleeves are also of the satin,
laid in white plaits from the shoulder to
the wrist.
Plain skirts of fancy materials are gen
orally worn with plain OF shaded tatfeta
silk bodces, which can be made as dressy
as possible by the addition of lace col
lar or a Marie Ant oinette fichu.
Black mohar is the material of which
the fourth skirt is fashioned, and with it
is shown an Elton jacket finished with a
ruche of chiffon headed by a band of jet
trimming. The pretty sleeves and soft
becoming vest are made of pink China
silk, contrasting most charmingly with
the somberness of the skirt and jacket.

Offensive
Catarph.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for a time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
so except real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.
Mr.. Chas. A. Parr, the leading wall
paper dealer, of Athens, Ga, writes:
