Elaine Eye and Ear Infirmary.

The eleventh annual report of the Maine
Eye and Ear Infrmary. with adjuncts for
other diseases in the out-patient department,
from Nov l, 1895. to Nov. l, 1896, has been
received. We notice on the first page that
the Intirmary was founded to maintain a
daily clinic for gratutous treatment of the
diseases of the poor who are unable to pay
The medical staff received no pay for doing
this work; therefore persons able to pay
for the services they may require should
not accept this charity, which is sup
ported by voluntary contributions. In
the Treasurer's report we noticed sol 900
was expended during the year. Some 49,
600 of this was for improvement and furnish
ings. We also notice that for II years
S226,000 has been expended. Out of this
large sum. nearly $14 900 has been expended
for free beds. These figures hardly convey
to the mind the vast amount of work which
has been necessary TO bring these sums to-
gether, nor do they convey to the mind the
vast amount of relief which must have been
given to the poor of the State in the preser-
walton and restoration of the sight and hear
ing Certainly among our benevolent insti-
buttons, the Maine Eye and Ear Intrmary
has secured and seeks to hold its place
among the first, and we believe that the
State cannot make any better use of its
money than to continue the annual appro-
priation asked for by the trustees of that in
stitution.

THE GIRLS HOME, BELFAST.

The January number of "The Girls
Home just issued, is a very interesting
number, and to make both it and the
worthy cause it represents better known in
the wide field covered by The journal we
make liberal extracts from it's columns.
The above cut is an excellent representa-
ton of the Home, which is most pleas
antly situated on Northport avenue, com
handing fine view of our beautiful bay.
The Girls Home was opened November
5, 1895. Since that date twenty one girls
have found shelter and protection in the
Home. Besides these, six other girls and
one boy have been cared for and placed
in permanent homes by the society. This
has been accomplished at a time when our
funds were low and our resources limited.
With an assured income, we could easily
increase the number in the Home to eigh-
teen continuously.
The average expense is not far from
seventy dollars a month, with ten girls in
the Home. The managers ought to have
one hundred dollars month at their dis
posal in order to increase the usefulness
of the Home and make it what it is cap
able of being.
The fruit from the orchard contributes
materially to the supply of wholesome
food for the table. The location, in de-
sirable neighborhood. also has its advan
tages. Though remote from the thickly
settled part Of the town, it is sufficiently
near for the children to attend the public
schools, and to have the advantages of
church and Sunday school.

Railways and Waterways.

In ante bellum days New Orleans com
manded the trade of the whole Mississippi
valley, from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Great Lakes, and to the western frontier.
The products of this vast region came down
the Mississippi and its tributaries i'll steam
boats and hatboats to the Crescent City,
where sailing ships and steamships We're
in readiness to carry them coastwise or to
foreign ports. The mission of the i1atboat
was ended when it delivered its cargo at
New Orleans, but the countless steamers
which pushed their way against the swift
current up the Mississippi, the Missouri
the Ohio, the Red River, and countless
lesser streams and bayous, carried return
cargoes of goods, foreign and domestic.
New Orleans was then the great cotton
shipping port of the country, and Mobile,
which held the trade of the Alabama river
and its tributaries, came next. The build
ing of trans continental railways changed
all that. Mobile was the first to suffer,
handicapped as it was by the shoal waters
of its bay, which necessitated lighterage
in loading large vessels. The cotton which
had gone down the rivers to Gulf ports
now went by rail to Savannah and to Nor
folk, and the great west began to get its
supplies from the Atlantic ports. In a
very few years after the war Mobile had
lost the greater part of its trade. and New
Orleans, while less seriously affected had
suffered considerably. Now there is a
railroad movement which looks toward
restoring the lost prestige of the Crescent
City; and it is OF sufficient Importance to
call forth warning from the Boston Her

foreign trade interests from the inroaCis Of

an outline Of the project

cured control Of direct line from Chi
gago to New Orleans it inaugurated a
policy looking to the monopolization OF
the entire Mississippi river valley export
business and also made a bid for a large
share OF the packing house prodrcts in all
sections OF the Southwest. Millions Of
dollars We're expended in erecting grain
elevators and improving the terminal
facilities at New Orleans, while agents
were active on the whole line OF the com
pany property offering inducements TO
send then merchandise via New Orleans
to foreign ports. The rates are, OF course
a great inducement to shippers as they
are considerably below those authorized
by tie lines running East.
1t now transpires that the leading mer-
chants of New Orleans are working with
the railroad company in its efforts to build
up the foreign commerce of the city, and
that tempting inducements are held out to
the various steamship lines to make New
Orleans their terminal on this side OF the
Atlantic. The latest move is to guaran-
tee to steamers bringing goods to this
country full return cargo, the object
being to make New Orleans the chief city
of import in the United States.

Following is a copy of the petitions,
unanimously signed which have been pre-
sented to the Legislature:
To the Honorable Senate and House of
Representatives of the State OF Maine,
in Legislature assembled
We, the undersigned, respectfully rep
resent that the Children's Aid Society
of Maine holds in trust for the State a
Girls Home located in Belfast: That the
Society has added to the property, by
purchase, land, costing one thousand dol
lars, has equipped the Home throughout,
and has maintained the same for about
two years, and during this time has pro
vided a home, and refining home intlu-
ences for a large number of destitute and
suffering girls. We further represent
that the buildings OF the Home are in
need of certain alterations and repairs,
and therefore ask that a reasonable appro-
priation be made for that purpose, and
that in addition thereto, an appropriation
Of two thousand dollars be made to aid in
charging the work of the Home.
OF this appeal the President of the
Children's Aid Society says in the Janu-
airy issue of "The Girls Home:''
We believe the legislators of Maine are
too broad minded and generous to allow
this opportunity to do something for needy
children, to pass unheeded. The OPP
portunity to help this class of destitute
girls and boys-(those who are neither
criminals nor orphans) has never been
presented to any legislative body in Maine,
in this way. The two Homes-the one for
boys at Deering, and the other for girls at
Belfast, need, and merit the support of
the General Court, or people in the hum
bier walks of life. Every one can do
something at this time our appeal is
especially to the legislature of '97, '9S.
Urging that they do not miss this grand
opportunity to help the destitute and
friendless children of Maine.
A lady who has taken into her heart
and home another seven year old girl re-
ports that--has the sweetest DISPOSE
ton and the most atfectionate nature of
any child she ever met.

South, reports the following unique ad
vantage in having black skin. She says
''the little darkies could have holes in
their stockings and no one would know
anything about it.
The great problem of the year at the
Home has been the financial one of MAX
ing both ends meet. That this problem
has been solved is due to the good man

and the ready CO. operation of our matron

is usual with housekeepers in ordinary

The picture Of Mrs. Cleveland and her
children as they were recently seen at the
White House, by a member Of the edit0-
rial staff of this paper, will not soon be
forgotten. The cordial good nature Of the
first lady of the land explains in part
why no woman is ever jealous Of her. The
uncommonly good common sense of this
lady is apparent in every detail of her
dress and manner. The children, Ruth
and Marion, were brought in by their
nurses to be presented to their mamma S
and grand papas friend' Ruth a shy
little miss of five years of age, has the
color and complexion of the Folsom fami-
ly. Little Marion resembles her distin-
guished father, President Cleveland. Both
children were dressed with the greatest
simplicity. Plain white cambria dresses,
made somewhat after the style known as
Mother Hubbard, with embroidered yoke
and turned over collar, without ribbon,
sash or ornament of any kind.
What an object lesson, | thought. to
tired worn out mothers, who struggle SO
hard to rutfie and tuck and furbelow their
children's dresses, instead of taking the
time to cultivate their minds and hearts.
Evidently Mrs. Cleveland is a wise and
judicious mother. And it is to be hoped
her influence will be felt all along the line,
from the White House down to the hum
blest cottage in our land.
In recalling the above, another interest
ing picture presents itself to the mind of
the writer-one that many Belfast people
are familiar with The picture of our
gracious Matron at the Home sitting at
the piano surrounded by the girls, play
ing accompaniment to the Christmas
carols and songs that must ever have an
uplifting influence upon the minds and
characters of these children.
Do extremes meet, or is life about the
same everywhere?
