Persia and tho Persians.

Mr.. Yonan III. Shahbaz, Persian and
graduate of Hamilton theological semi
nary of this country, gave an interesting
talk on Persia last night at the First
Baptist church. From climatic point
of view he saw one advantage his native
country had over America, for while in
the former the climate could be trusted
for at least two months, in Portland he
never felt safe for five minutes without
an umbrella. "There are no saloons
in Persia" said the speaker, "and l
never saw Mohammedan drunk; if
found SO the punishment is DEATH and
one who was suspected had his ears
Topped. Should this law be enforced here
what lop-eared crowd you would have. F."
He referred to the cruel treatment of
women in Persia. They get up early in
the morning walk six or seven miles to
work and receive only seven cents day.
American ladies'" continued the
speaker, you are walking in golden
streets. riding your bicycles and having a
good time"
In all of the schools of Persia there is
not one girl, nor had Mr.. Shahbaz ever
met a Mohammedan woman, who could
read. Polygamy is practiced, and one
king had in his harem about 1870 women.
He instituted a comparison between
Mahomet and Christ; the one spreading
his doctrine by the sword the other
bringing the religion of peace, and re-
gretted that out of 10000. 600 Protes-
tants, only 14,O0O,OO0 were Christian mem.
bers
An eloquent appeal for foreign mis-
sions was made, hymn was sung in
Persia and then prayers~of all were asked
by the speaker for him in his contem.

country

To the Citizens of Maine :

~-~~~~NO'
Carefully read the accident policy con-
tract you now have and in the future ask
to see policy contracts before you insure.
Many have provided themselves with an
accident policy for it is unwise not to do
so and have believed they were fully COW
cred and insured under their policy. Most
all policy. holders will find upon reading
their present policies that their insurance
first "does not cover injuries Of which
there is no visible mark upon the body,
(the body itself in case of death not being
deemed such mark.)" Second, Injuries
due to lifting or over .exertion' Third,
"Injuries received while violating any
law" Fourth, Injuries received while
violating the rules of a corporation. -
Fifth, Injuries received while handling
any explosive compound" Sixth, "Vol-
untary exposure to unnecessary danger. y
Seventh, partial disablement' (unless
by special agreement attached to policy,
and many of you have not been provided
with it, Eighth, "While riding in pas
senger elevators" (if your policy reads,
'swhile riding as passenger in or on a
public conveyance provided by COM
mon carrier for passenger service,") be-
cause it has been judicially decided that
passenger elevators are not common car
riers, as they do not charge any fee and
are not run for hire. Almost every in
sured citizen of Maine has these eight
prohibitives in his policy. The Inter
State Casualty Company of New York
asks for your consideration and accident
insurance on the business-like ground of
fully and perfectly insuring you against
accidental death and accidental injury,
because 1t has left out of its policy con-
tract all technicalities, evasive clauses
and evasive words, and does not charge
the policy holder any extra rate for this,
the only proper kind of accident insur-
ance. No accident policy issued by any
company covers and insures its patrons
in all OF the eight vitality important ways
mentioned in this article except the poll
cy of the Interstate Casualty Company.
Read the accident policy you now have,
for as d business man you will admit that
when the day comes for the settlement of
your claim it will be settled either by
your company or the courts in accor-
dance with the clauses and words in vour
policy.

SCHOOL NOTES.

The first term ended last Friday
The day was promotion time for all
the grades and was fraught with joy
or sorrow for the boys and girls.
Promotion added II to the enroll
ment in the high school giving that
department an entire list of 106 stu
dents. Grade has the heaviest en-
rOllment it has had in seven years.
This is a record breaking year in
the schools. The first term last year
witnessed at its close total enroll
ment of 557 pupils. We enrolled last
Friday a total 629. This figure was
increased up to Wednesday Of this
week to 635. At the present rate of
increase we will enroll 700 pupils two
months before the school year is over.
While our enrolment and attend
ance upon the schools for the first
term nave been much greater than
last year the tardy record shows but
8 more cases than year ago.
On next Friday evening the Poly
hymnian society of the High School
will give literary program in the
high school room
The beginning Latin class this year
is the largest in the history OF our
schools. This means that an increas-
ing number of our boys and girls en-
ter upon courses to prepare. them for
college.
Increased facilities for the high
school department should be prOvid-
ed by lola in the general expansion Of
our schools demanded for next year.
We have this year enrolled "a tuition
paying students from out side of lola,
six from outside of Allen county.
Double that number will enroll here
next year if we can provide aceOmmo-
dations for them. This demand for
room testifies to the standing of our
high school outside of lola.

EDITOR REGISTER:
In thinking over the many manu-

Lime Kiln with the capacity OF
about a thousand bushels per day
would be a profitable investment,
making lime to be used not only fol
the purposes it is used now, but to
put ON the land. l remember when
but boy some fifty years ago in my
native state, Maryland, there were
thousands of acres of land thrown
out on the commons as worn out,
Now it is all taken in and produces
good crops all by the application Of
lime. 1 have known men to haul
lime stone so far they could make
but one load day and pay seventy
five cents per perch for it to put on
the land. Of course it paid them or
they would not have done so. Nc
doubt some of your farmers would
say there is no need of going to that
expense as long as we can raise crops
without. But they do not consider
that the crops would be so much
better. There is a certain quality in
lime that the land needs after being
cultivated so many years without
putting something on. 1t is not the
great quantity it needs. Too much
would be an injury. Rut why nOt
some one experiment with it, putting
different quantities on different spot:

Electric Bitters'

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed when the languid,
exhausted feeling prevails when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prOmp use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in cOunteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
