particular a success, and much credit Il
due to the able and efficient committee
every way capable of filliue the position.
Eighty-hve children and So tired. worthy
mothers participated In this outing, COM

ing in their hearts, to know they were,
amid the whrl of busy life, remembered
by those able and willing to contribute
to their happiness. And may the con-
tributors bear in mind this God-giyen
privilege to those who in no other way
could have look into the outside world.
We know they would be amply repaid
could they have watched the eager faces
Of those who had never before looked

which most of US are privileged to en-
joy. 1t did fill our hearts with pleasure,
Notwithstanding the efforts made to Sc
cure the happiness of so many. One OF
the most enjoyable features Of the day
was the food which was furnished In
great abundance. There were sandwiches.
boiled eggs, cookies, cakes. bananas and
fruit of all kinds.
The success of the entire affair was due
to the earnest. painstaking zeal of Mrs.
Alex McCausland, who attended to all the
details, searching out the women and
children for whose benefit the excursion
was given. collecting clothing of all kinds
with which to cIothe the needy. and soli-
citing food. She was everywhere on the
boat attending to all the needs of the
party. Mrs. McCausland is superintend-
ent of the Loyal Temperance Legion and

Mrs. Nellie Perkins. Mrs. Mary Church.
Mrs. Plummcr and Mr.. D. w. Ward very

pressed themselves as having a very
happy time and very grateful to those
who had made 1t possible for them to 20

The troop on the move, as it entered
Gardiner, was the observed of all who
could get view, as it passed up the
Kennebec, steadily marching on to Its
destination of the day-the National
Home at Togus. The rains of the
night before had made the roads heavy
and the troop was slightly delayed. 1t
camped on what is known as the John
Gray field in Bowdoinham, Tuesday
night. The miserable rain had come
Just as it was about to pitch camp and
the men were wet in consequence.
But as the small army started out in
the morning, promptly at o'clock, the
hardy men were fresh for the 20 miles
or more which had to be passed over
before their next stopping place. The
CLAW roads first encountered were slip
perry and the horses had hard time OF

It was shortly after 2.30 that it APP

sight-a revelation to those who have
not before Seen one, and source of no
end of pleasure to one who understands
the skill of the manoeuvres and the
difficulty in successfully accomplishing
them.
1t will interest Augusta people to
know that the troop will pass through
part of the East side, this morning,
probably at some time not far from
8 o'clock. 1t will leave Togus prompt
ly at o'clock, and proceed by the To-
gus road to Hospital street, Stone
street, to Bangor street, and thence to
Vassalboro.
Such were the plans of Captain Dodd
Wednesday afternoon. The hour could
not be determined, but it has been esti-
mated to be not far from that named.
/ 1t will be of further interest to know
that the troop will not unlikely pass
this way on it's return from Bangor
perhaps for short stay, when a drill
may be given on the State encampment
grounds. But this has not been de-
cided, as it cannot be decided at he
present time, Captain Dodd says. But
he will make such arrangements if pos
sible.
The present route of the troop to
Bangor will probably be to Vassalboro.
thence by the old Bangor and Augusta
stage road through China, where the
band will encamp for the night; or
perhaps beyond, near Albion.
Thence it is most likely to proceed to
Hampden, to arrive in Bangor on Sat-
urday, thus giving the men and horses
a much needed chance to rest.
The return, it is hoped will be by an
altogether different route-via New
port, Pittsfield, Waterville and Angus
ia, thence to Lewiston, to return to its
headquarters at Fort Ethan Allen,
Burlington, VT.
1t is on this return that, it Is believed
Augusta may have chance to see the
cavalry in camp.

Substitutes For Glass.

Tectorium is the name of material
manufactured in Germany as substi-
tute for glass. Bichromated gelatin is
laid over both sides of kind of web OF
galvanized steel or iron wire and can
be made into sheets one-sixteenth of an
inch thick. 1t is unbreakable and is
said to be lighter than glass. 1t bends
easily, is poor conductor of heat and
cold, and is not difficult of repair.
However, it is liable to become soft in
hot weather ard is infammable.
Hornalos is much like tectorium, only
more transparent and harder Manila
paper soaked in boiled linseed oil until
it is both waterproof and translucent is
used as substitute for glass in hot
houses. 1t comes in long rolls, is dura-
BILE, requires no shading from the hot
sun, and, it is said, costs about one
hundredth as much as glass. New

Cipher Writing.

The art of secret writing, or writing
in cipher, was, according to Polybius,
invented by Eneas, author of treatise
on tactics and other works. He produced
40 methods of writing in cipher, which
no person could unfold, but we doubt
much whether they would preserve this
quality at the present day. 1t is no less
strange than true that this art, so i'm
portant in diplomacy, as long as couriers
are liable to be intercepted, was held in
adherence by the elector Frederic II,
who considered it as diabolical inven-
tion. Trithemius, abbot of Spanheim,
had composed several works to revive
this branch of knowledge, and Boville,
an Ignorant mathematician, being un-
able to comprehend the extraordinary
terms he made use of to explain his
method, published that the work was
full of diabolical mysteries. Poissevin
repeated the assertion, and Frederic, in
holy zeal, ordered the original work
of Trithemius, which he had in his
library, to be burned as the invention
of the devil.--Harper' S Round Table.

The Match Industry In America.

The first manufactory of friction
matches was located in the center of the
Connecticut valley, in the historic COM
munity known as Chicopee street. The
principle Of this invention had been
thought out in Europe, but bright Yam
kee minds were quick to catch the idea
from across the water, and the manu-
facture progressed as rapidly here as
there. The credit for this invention is
probably due to John Walker, a chem
ist, who lived in England in Stockton
on-Tees. He was experimenting with
chlorate of potash and found that it
could be instantly ignited by friction
when coated on stick with phosphorus
and drawn through folded sandpaper.
This discovery was made in 1899, and,
the attention of Michael Faraday called
to the new idea, it soon became popu-
lar, and the manufacture was started
nearly simultaneously in Europe and
America. The first factory for the max
ing OF friction matches on large scale
is stated to have been established in
Vienna in 1888, but the factory on Chic
opee street was running nearly as early
as this, if not before Springfield Re
publican.

for over two hours they disagreed on
everything and went back to their

An Old Fashioned Journalist.

Harmon D. Wilson, who learned his
letters from the Troy Chief, has written
a two column article on Sol Miller for
the Atchison Globe, in which he relates
many interesting little "reminiscences
of the old fellow. Sol would never trust
anybody else to make up the forms of
his paper, and he never permitted any
body under any circumstances to touch
the forms which contained the mailing
list. For 40 years he put on an old
apron each week and worked over the
imposing stones on issue day.
"When The Chief went to PRESS"
says Mr.. Wilson, "the whistle was
blown. That was the signal for all who
wished to come and get their papers.

Many amusing stories are told con-
nected with dueling. One has recently
been told in which an English peer and
a politician figured, and we venture to
repeat it because we think it worth pre-
serving. The peer, for some offense,
was called out by the politician and
promptly responded to the challenge.
On arriving at home again after the
duel his lordship gave guinea to the

to have been an exceptionally honest,
simple man. He was surprised by the

is for bringing me back, not for taking
me out. I enjoyed the drive home very
much, but not the drive out. That is
