Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt.
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgives most general satisfaction.

Purses of Single Women with 4
Big Fortunes.

Two hundred of the wife-huntind
princes and dukes and the land-poo1
counts and barons of Europe havd
dubbed together in an organization N
New York city, the Cercle De La No
blesse to win the multi-millionaird
girls of this country for wives. The o.
tensible purpose Of the club is, to quotd
from the charter, to offer a pleasant and
recreative place of meeting to the elite
Of Europe's society visiting this coun4
try, to render their stay on American
ground as pleasant as possible and ID
facilitate their movements, social and
otherwise.
This fertilization has been we'll conn
menced by the preparation Of q list
which contains the name, age, descrip-
ton, habits and approximate fortune
OF every unmarried woman in this
country who Is worth more than
100000, or whose probable dover will
amount to that much. Detectives ana
agents are to be employed to meet these
girls socially and later to INTRODUCE
to them the wife-hunting noblemen Of
the Cercle De La Noblesse.
The club of mobiles has been regular4
" incorporated under the laws Of New
Jersey with capital Of 100000 and
headquarters opened at 10 East Thirty
second street, only a few doors from tho
Waldorf hotel The scheme in brief 81
this: When the club has been fairly
launched into the social swirl Of upper
tendon in New York a systematic siege
will be commenced upon the willing
hearts Of the rich girls throughout thd
land.
New York will be good starting
point, for, according to the secret list
that has been prepared, there are 1000
girls in the United States who are worth
$1,Ooo,ooo or more, Of which 1900 are IN
New York city and 26o in Brooklyn,
They argue that at least one Of their
members will be supplied with wild
from this list within the first year Of
their social operations; two in the 80
ond, three in the third, and ten in tho
fourth year. Working upon that basis
they have prepared an estimate Of
profits, which shows, first, that the an.
nual subscription and sale Of privileges
will pay the running expenses.
Then each successful member must
pay the club a commission or assess1
ment Of six per cent. on the. fortune I'D
acquires, so If there is only one case Of
million-dollar bride in the first year;
the clear profit of the stockholders will
be 100000, just go per cent. dividend on
their investment. This note appears al

22 months, the former referring to q
principal of s1,eoOooo, the latter $780,
900; profits on the former, $4,000; Oh

SMALLER FARMS GROWING IN FAVOR

One Of the brightest hopes for greater
industrial prosperity throughout the farm
ing districts OF the West il the disposition
to smaller holdings OF land. Farmers are
narrowing down their capacity to cul
tivste and make profitable the landed pos
sessions they control and the old time
idea OF land speculation with the farmer
is rapidly giving way to system and econo
my 10 improved methods OF cultivation.
The aversge size OF the western farm is
growing smaller each year and the time is
not far distsBt when the 80 and l60 acre
farm will be the prevailing acreage for the
Nebraska farmer. We see the same eyi
dences OF economical landed possessions
at work sll over the country. The heavy
mortgage debt on improved agricultural
lands is responsible for much OF this ep
| lightenment Farmers are beginning to
see that less acreage OF land, free hon
the oppressive mortgage, is more to be de
sired then q burden Of debt. II there is q
redeeming feature to the recent depression
and bard times, this evidence of better
ing OF agricultural conditions may proper

Intensive farming is the basis OF arsu

Cut up mniion. Of Money.

The Journal man had occasion to visit
the TicOnic Bank, Saturday, on bust
ness. AS there was not money enough
in the regular cash trays for the dis
charge OF the obligations of the bank
to the Journal, Major Plaisted was
obliged to get out a new issue of paper
money that had recently been received
from the government printing house.
We agreed to take the money just as
it was. in sheets, TO save the ma jor the
work of cutting the bills apart. but he
insisted on doing it for us. Watching
him do the trick led us to ask him how
long the pair of shears that he was
using had been in service and he. re-
piled about SO years.
Now when the bank first began bust
ness there was q direct issue of $50, 000
and on several Occasions since then
there have been issues of from $5o,000
to $4,000 with the customary issue OF
about $1,000 every three weeks. If you
figure this out you will find that that
pair of shears have cut. into parts over
81. 600 900 in brand new money.
Now il some one had n royalty on the
use of those shears and had walled

There are some localities In the city
that should have thorough cleansing.

Aplsa.ant. Happy Occasion.

One Of the most pleasant and happy
occasions was that of the 10th reunion
of the class of '87 of the Waterville
High school, at the handsome home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Stewart on Silver
street, last Thursday evening. MRS.
Stewart gave up the entire first floor OF
the house to the occasion and the dec
orations were something very beautiful
and extensive. Roses predominated IN
the decorations and their fragrance was
! the feature of the evening in one sense.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart possess very
pretty home and it never was shown to
| a better advantage than on this Occa-
sion.
When the class was graduated in 81.
the number was is. Thursday evening
there were II of that number present
as follows: Mrs. Daisy Morrill-Stew
art, Mrs. Bna Wyman.
Mrs. Carrie Nelson-Clukey, Mrs. Ada
McNelly- Marston, these were accom-
panied by their husbands; and Misses
Mary Redington, Gertrude Penney,
Helen Towne, Nettie Hodgdon, Grace
of the class, Mr.. James Kelliher OF
Portland.
| Letters of regret We're received from
the following members of the class:
Mrs. Lizzie knauff- Parsons. Mrs. Cad
die Brown Burleigh, Mrs. Blanche Full
ler- Higgins, and Mrs. Frances Weeks
Reynolds. But one member of the class
has died and that was Miss Harriet
Boothby.
| Several different games were in
Obliged in during the evening and there
was vocal and instrumental music
galore Delicate refreshments Were
served, provided by the most excellent
hostess. Miss Maude Getchell presided
over the punch bowl and Misses Lakin
and Watkins at the refreshment table
| After refreshments had been served
the members of the class listened to an
address by the president, Mr. Kelliher
| who went into the history of the class
in school and out, of the advantage OF
| holding the reunions, the endearing
tScenes of the days gone by and the
hope of the future years to come. The
| reunion was one of the most happy il

separated the insects by families and
counted noses. The result was aston
ishing. The professor found this: In
all there were 80, 500 insects in the globe
when it was taken down: of these there
were IL different families ct the moth
species: all the orders of insects were
represented but one. A pOlyphemus
silk moth that spread six inches was
the largest OF all and then they went on
down to the smallest Of moths. There
were 157 tent caterpillar moths. lag of
which were males. Two hundred beetles
Of "a species; three species Of bugs
large number of flies including the
crane. lace-wing and caddice fly: fiv'

beetles made up the lot. Prof Hitch

the farmers to put up electric lights all
over the farms and destroy the Insects
To determine how many of the insects
are killed nightly.in this city alone, find
out the number of arc globes there are
and multiply the number of insects
found in the Durham globe by the
number of globes. The globe at Mr..
Dunham's store is in the recess of the
doorway and the light does not attract
only from one direction, the front. but
take one of the globes on the corner OF
a street and the attraction will be four
times greater and the number of in
sects greater as well.

Look Out for the Board Of Health.

You may not know that the board Of
health is after you, but such is the fact
that is if you have allowed the rear
of your buildings to become obnoxious
to their sensitive nOstrels and that they
have such nostrels is bound to be a
pretty good thing for the city.
Chairman ]. F. Eden of the board OF
health, informs the Journal that one
case of diphtheria, mild one, has been
reported to him by DR.. A. E. Bessey
Mr.. Eden investigated the premises
and found that the condition of things
whereabouts was not just what it
should be and took steps at once to
prevent any spread of the disease that
he believes was generated by the con-
dition of the premises. The house,
which is on Main street has been or
dered in quarantine.
Mr.. Eden has been very careful in
his Investigations since the heated
term began and has made some COM
plant to several citizens whOh ave al
lowed their premises to go rather too
far to suit Mr. Elden's idea of clean
illness. He says that some people fol-
low his instructions at once and others
have to be prObbed to a considerable
extent before the desired result is
reached. Other members of the board
have done their share of the investiga-
ton business and have made some sug-
gestions that have been followed.
The members of the board are alive
to the fact that the present season is
rather worse than that for many years
past. as regards the sanitary condition
of some portions of the city. The con-
tinued rains Of the several weeks that
have just passed have made the at
other times ordinary bad places, some-
thing worse than cess-pools. Vigorous
effort is being made to have these
