The Live Stock Industry Gaining.
looked afte

The turning point in the long serious
decline of the live stock industry has been
passed and the hoped-for return has be-
gun. A special report just published by
the New England Homestead shows that,
this year, for the first time since the de-
cline began, there is an increase in the
aggregate value for II months. The value
of all the live stock on farms, including
horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, is placed
at 81 SS7, 900, 900, net gain of S26, 500, 600.
A decidedly better feeling is apparent
among the horse breeders, but the actual
returns covering the entire year show a
further slight decline in average values.
During the four years of depression
through which all the farm interests have
passed, mich cows have been marked
exception to the general rule. They have
increased steadily, while all other classes
of animals were declining, there being a
gain of practically 81 per head in value.
Other classes of cattle showed the crafty
ing gain Of 81. 16 in the average price per
head, though the change in numbers is
merely nominal. The total number of
mich cows is IS, 113, 600, and other cattle,
32, 647, 600.
Sheep showed further decline of
about per cent. in numbers. The slaugh-
ter of flocks has ceased and flock
masters are showing eagerness to build
them up. The prospective protection for
American wool gives sheep growers great
hope for demand for ewes for flock foun-
dalton, and has added 20 per cent. to the
average price per head of all the sheep of
the country. The aggregate supply of
hogs is, to-day, larger than a year ago by

The Maine Militia.

The adjutant general report to Con
gress shows the same unorganized mill
tary strength in Maine the past year. The
number of men fit for military duty, but
unorganized is put at 104, 1876 This is
the same figure that was reported last
year. OF commissioned officers in the
Maine national guard there are % of the
regular field and staff officers and Is com
pany officers. This makes a total of com
missioned officers of So where the pre-
vious year there were Sc. The aggregate
of enlisted men this year is l 227 includ-
ing 902 privates, SO musicians, and PAP
noncommissioned officers. This is an in
crease over last year, when there were ,215
enlisted men, including 500 privates, 81
musicians, and PAP noncommsssioned
officers. The above figures are for the
infantry. There is one commissioned
officer in the signal corps of the State,
three noncommissioned officers, and Is
privates, making total of IS men as
compared with 10 last year. The hos
pital and ambulance corps remains un-
changed in its strength.

Predict very successful season for tailor
made garments.
The skirt and jacket suit is developed
in one OF the new Illuminated seroes The
skirt shows the new fashionable narrow
straight lines, and the jacket is a jaunty
little affair made with points in the front
and short tluted back. The graceful
shaped revers are adorned with twisted
cords finished at each end with a neat
button Three similar cord ornaments
trim each side of the jacket just above
the waist line. The inventor of that most
DELI htful and convenient of accessories,
the fancy front, is certainly the best friend
OF womankind that has appeared in some
time. What possibilities does the fashion
offer OF varying the costume at the small
est trouble and expense, to say nc thing of
the scope it affords alike to taste and fancy.
That women appreciate the advantages of
fancy vests is evident from the number of
suits made in one style or another, but
always calling for a separate front. All
four of the sketches depicted this week
are models of this style, and as the ct Get
eras of woman's toilet were never more

bon. Instead of ending at the back with
large bow, its ornament is in the front,
and consists of just two ends of the rib
bon drawn through tiny buckle of vel
low enamel.
The novel sleeves are particularly at
tractive, outlining the arm and finished
with puff of the material, confined
through the centre with two rows of
shirring and a band of the satin ribbon.
The Elton suit depicted is in a combi
nation of brown and light tan faced cloths.
The plain skirt is lined throughout with a
bright plaid silk, full ruff1e of which
finishes the inside, giving one just a
glimpse of the daintiness of the lining
every time the wearer raises her skirt at a
crossing. The smart Elton is also lined
with the plaid silk and is trimmed on
each side of the front with an appliqued
design of light tan cloth.
The effect is very pretty and quite in
characterizes the gown. With these rude
and rampant winds of winter battering us
about so unceremonously, with our eyes
full of dust, and with our noses frozen to
a ruddy hue, it is hard to realize that
within few weeks time sleds and skates
will be forgotten, and picnics and lawn
parties will occupy our thoughts
By this time, not only must our own
wardrobe be suitably replenished, but
that of our little ones must be as carefully
looked after

Mrs. Josephine Polhi11, of Due West,
S. c., was for years sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience its tortures.
She says:
"For years I was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that I ever
heard of. | was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in
stead of being benefited my condi-
ton grew worse steadily.
The trouble became so deep-seated
that | was entirely deaf in one ear.
1t is difficult to describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when l state
that all the inside of my nose, inc1ud-
ing part of the bone sloughed off. 1t
can be readily understood how often
sive all this was, and how unbearable
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurable, and
told me l would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. S. S., determined to
try it as a last resort. I soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment
had been wrong, as the disease was in
the blood, and only blood remedy
could cure it. | began to improve at
once, and grew better as l continued
to take S. S. S. 1t seemed to get at
the seat of the disease, and after a
few weeks treatment / was entirely
cured, and for more than seven years
have had no sign of the disease
Catarrh is one of the deep-seated
blood diseases, and only a thorough
blood remedy will have any effect
upon it. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that is guaranteed
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1897-02-18
Deaf
From Catarrh.

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with more discouragenent in
seeking a cure than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paying out large sums for doctors
fees and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or great
deal worse.
The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease is in the blood, and only
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being
unable, with their stereotyped rene
dies of potash and mercury, to cure
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms of the disease, and ignoring its
cause. The inhaling of various sprays,
and use of washes, etc, is but a su-
perfcia1 and temporary treatment,
and cannot possibly effect cure.

Our New York Letter.
Now that we have quite hidden adieu
to winter purchases, women are on the
qui vive to know what to buy for the
future. The modes are never stagnant,
and surely there never was d time when
Fashion was more variable than at the
present moment, or when her inclnations
leaned toward such multitude of pretty
whims and details.
New York is now fully prepared for
early spring; not so much with made-up
goods, which demand freshness above all
things, but with models, materials and
trimmings, which have come like breath
of spring sunshine in the midst of winter
to supe1sede the more regal magnifcence
OF velvets and furs. Any doubts as to con-
tinued popularity of tailor made gowns
have been entirely laid to rest by the
latest importations of Gotham best tail

With the warm days of summer in view
it is we'll to select such garments for early
spring wear as will be of service later in
the season; and while the secret of sue
cess and becomingness in the gowning of
children is simplicity, still the young miss
of to-day shows an astonishing interest in
the plumes of her big hat, and is apt to
regard her tailor made gown as necessary
to her existence as her dolls or her sweet
meats.
Dainty Elton suits will be more worn
than ever by young girls between the ages
of ten and sixteen years.
Invariably they are made of dark mixed
or of plain materials, for during the very
warm weather the little skirt is worn with
adinty cotton shirt waists which can now
be obtained in sizes to fit girls as young as
six years. The jackets of all the new
suits are quite short, not reaching to the
waist line, and the trimmings, if any are
used, are narrow braid or a few bright
brass buttons. The Elton suit can be made
into quite dressy affair by having soft,
fluffy front of crepe or chiffon and replac-
ing the leather belt by one of wide sash
ribbon that is drawn out in a girdie
fashion in the front and is finished at the
back by a jaunty bow and long ends that
reach nearly to the bottom of the skirt. II
The sash, of course, is charming, it
matching the color of the fancy front, but
for serviceable wear black tafetta is adj
yiSable
