Novelty
Week..

The smokeless stove on
which water is boiled in our
show window has been a great
attraction for several days to
students in philosophy. The
Jewel is a good stove anyway.
The special subject for the
people this week is not stoves,
that subject is a daily one.
This week you will have no
veltles of all sorts.
This is the season when the
hens go on strike and the
price of eggs goes skyward.
Hens want a little encourage
ment now and then, and the
best thing known to science
is green bones. But they
must be cut up fine. We
have the best green bone cut
ter in the world.
Another novelty is the soap
saver, made of re-tinned wire,
basket shaped, with long
handles. This is the best soap
saver known and we have
three sizes. Cheaper than
dirt and more identifying.
Dripless tea and coffee
strainers are new and servica-
BILE. There's a cutoff attach
ment which prevents coffee or
tea from dripping on the table
cloth after the cup is filled.
Very cheap these, and pretty
too.
A6-knife Victor meat chop
per for a quarter seems like a
dream, but it isn't. We sell
them at that price and we sell
the Holdfast dust pan-best
you ever saw.
The latest in coasters is the
revolving star - enables the
cook to toast five pieces of
bread at once. Try one.

OUR RURAL SCHOOLS.

The Hon. WV. Stetson, State Superin-
tendent of Public Schools, in pamphlet
just issued entitled "a Study of Waste
and Kindred Evils existing in the admin
istration Of public Schools has let in a
food of light upon our public schools and
exposed to view some of their serious
short comings. The picture which he
presents of some of the rural schools is
far from a pleasant.one, but it is no doubt
a truthful one. Persons familiar with
our schools have long known that they
fell far short Of being what they should
be, or what the majority of the people
thought they were. In many particulars
Maine has lived up to her motto "dirigo. >
but the public school is not one of them

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

A few days ago A. W. Emerson and
two companies left Houlton in search of
game. They followed the road to Wood
stock for about mile, and separated
and entered the woods. Mr.. Emerson had
proceeded but short distance when he
heard a noise in clump of bushes He
investigated and found that the noise was
made by good-sized bear cub. The cub
rose up on his hind legs and stood pre-
pared to fight. Mr.. Emerson hit the bear
on the nose with the stock of his gun,
knocking him down, and called to his
companions who were soon on hand
After lively struggle the three men sue
ceeded in securing his bearship with their
belts and carried him to Houlton and
brought him to Old Town on Tuesday.
In Old Town that night the bear caused
quite sensation by reaching through the
Stats of the box in which he was confined,
and striking small boy, who had ven
tured bit too close, in the face and
nearly taking his nose off.
The Presque Isle Star-Herald says that
the other day physician of that town,
while riding a few miles out of Fort
Fairfield, saw large moose about 200
yard way. The doctor brought his horse
to walk and drove to within about 100
feet of the moose, which did not seem to
have the least inclination to move from
his track. Here the doctor brought his
horse to a standstill. He had no weap-
on with him, and at first was in a guam
dairy how to proceed. But happy
thought came to him, and he commenced
talking to the moose, using all the IA
vorite terms known to the medical profess
sion and some that We're not. He eX-
hausted his vocabulary, but all to no pur-
pose, for the animal, silent as spectre,
stood his ground nobly, the pet names he
had been called having no more effect
than the singing of SO many nursery
rhymes. The doctor was in O predica-
ment. and just how to extricate himself
he knew not. He consulted the Delphic
oracle, and as last recourse grasped his
whip, mounted the seat of his wagon as
if he were about four miles out on the
Fort scaling the breastworks of some
enemy, and began to shout at the top of
his voice. He shouted in Greek, French
Latin, German, Spanish, Hindoo, but
the monarch of the Maine forest never
budged an inch, but calmly viewed these
grotesque proceedings with the eye of
critic. One more language was at the
medical mans command-Chinese. He
had not spoken over six or seven words in
this tongue when the moose, proudly
raising its head, walked off into the
woods, and was soon lost in the whence
ness

CURRENT COMMENT.
ABOUT ENOUGH FOOL SHOOT
ING.
(Kennebec journal. J


"Why not indiot one of these careless
gunners, who recklessly shoots before he
sees and kills a human being instead of
deer A year in State prison for man
slaughter would be no more than a inst
penalty, one the situation demands. -
This is the opinion of a leading LAWYER
and was expressed after reading one of
the several accounts of as many different
accidental killings in the Maine woods
this month.
That view of it may seem little harsh
at first but it will bear consideration.
True. any man who accidentally shoots a
companion through his own carelesness
suffers more il he have the heart OF a
man than any imprisonment would
cause him. But he Is not the only one to
be considered. He has been guilty Of
criminal carelessness, for he has assumed
10 De su1nciently discreet to carry and use
arms at hunting when he was not fitted
TO 90 SO, and in SO doing has not shown
proper regard for human life. Probably
nal1 OF those who go to the woods hunt
ing see little of the reports of the shoot
ing accidents, or if they do fail to give
them the attention they deserve.
IN some way the truth, the awfulness
Oh Gnls carelessness, should be borne in
onShe mind of every man likely to use a
gun In the woods. 1t should be kept be-
fore his eyes and in his thoughts long
enough to teach some part of the requi-
sita lesson of carefulness. We're one of
these reckless sportsmen to be dragged
before grand jury, indicted for man
slaughter, tried and sentenced, would not
Uhe lesson be likely toAimpress itself quite
generally on the attention of would-be
sportsmen??
We think SO, and we also believe it
would result in greater care on their part.
Ii the present condition of things is not
improved Maine may yet have to pension
the naturally cautious people before they
will venture into our woods. As for the
naturally careless they will keep right on
shooting recklessly until they are made
an example of, and even then will bear
watching.
