EASTERN MAINE POLO LEAGUE.
Plans 10 Include Belfast, Bangor, Water.
Vile and Skowhssan.

The prospects for polo league in
eastern Maine are excellent. The game
has met with favor In that section in
times past, and with the success that
the Maine League met with last winter,
the demand for pclosin this section has
given rise TO a well started movement
for a league Is include Waterville,
Skowhegan, Belfast and Bangor. The
comparative nearness of these places,
one to another of course will combine
to make the plan d feasible one.
True c. Hayford Of Belfast, was in
tie city, Monday talking over the stu
a ion with polo people in this city. Mr..
nayford says the league is practically
Il sure go" and that already Chris
TS3le mas made a bid for the Bangor
team, or better, the, promoters want
Mr. Toole to takcit n Il. Cottrell and
AR. Hayford win manage the Belfast
team, and W. II. I61g may take the
management OF the Waterville or
SkoWhegan clubs.
The new league promises to thri%e
and in few months. when the season
opens, there will m doubt be great
race among the clubs named. while the
Maine League is making thesevenngs
lively in other sections Of the State.

Business VicissituGeS.

The annals Of commerce are not ell
tirely without q spice Of romance.
There Is a little retributive justice
that savors of the novelist's art In the
way the spoiler Is sometimes spoiled IN
business relations In an article en-.
titled Made in Japan" the Pail Mall
Gazette shows how nations have en-
croached upon one another's business,
and reaped for time a rich harvest,
only to see the same tactics employed
by rival people, and be forced to
stand aside while the trade slipped
from their hands into the keeping Of
another nation.
In old times the Dutch, by importing
English clay, made good profit out Of
limitations Of Chinese porcelain, and
presently the Dutch product became
world as Delft ware.
But the Dutchman was no more Sc.
cure in his profitable trade than had
been his predecessor, the Chinaman.
The English potters took to copying
the Dutch patterns, and sold their pot
terry much cheaper, and the north Of
England became headquarters for the
Delft china.
Again, however, the spoiler has been
spoiled. OF late the Japanese have
made themselves masters of the art OF
reproducing the patterns best liked In
England, and have begun to encroach
on the domain long monopolized by
the English potter The japanese prod
uct LIS finer and stronger, and above
all cheaper than the best English
ware, and Japan Is providing the mar
kets with goods which were originally
a Chinese monopoly.

Eel Blood for Snake Bite.

Some years ago the naturalist Mosse
found that the blood of eels, particu.
larly that Of sea eels, contained poi
son which acted, when transferred into
the human system, similar to the
venom OF vipers, although weaker, in
asmuch as the eel poison brought
about a similar reduction of the tenn
perature of the blood as the snake
poison.
Based upon this fact, Professor G.
Phisalix made very interesting re-
searches, which he presented recently
to the Academy Of Sciences at Paris.
He concluded that the blood of eels
possessed immunifying agencies upon
snake poison. He succeeded by heat
ing a solution of eel poison to So de-
grees centigrade to destroy its viru-
lence, so that it was possible to inocu-
late a guinea pig with the fluid, the
only effect being the raising of the
temperature by few degrees. This
reaction Of the organism was followed
by perfect capability to resist the
poison Of the vipers, which was ad-
ministered in deadly dose fifteen to
twenty hours after the incubation
with eel blood, but it absolutely failed
to kill the animal. Even very small
quantity of the heated eel serum was
sufficient to produce immunity from
snake poison. This discovery is most
important, since it can be employed
for immunifying human beings against
snake bites, and, if not too far pro-
gressed, it will even insure a more
rapid recovery from snake bite of vic
Tins who had not previously been i'm
munifed with the serum. -Philadel-

sity course in Psychology and Peda
gogy. The degree Of Master of Peda'

first order and worthy of the highest

There is a strong and growing de
mand for teachers, possessing collegi
ate and professional education. The
collegiate course and the professions
course can both be pursued at the
same time in the Howard, and withou,

preparing to teach would do we'll te

has come about because of his immense
charities, which are as transformations
Is they are generous. This statue was
raised by popular subscription in Ath-
ans, and was unveiled by Prince Con-
stantine, the crown prince Of Greece
and Duke of Sparta, in April, last year.
The ceremonies were impressive, and
we're attended by great crowds Of the
Athenians. When the war broke out
with Turkey NJ. Averoff presented 49,
900 uniforms to the Greek army, and
the Crown Prince sent him letter Of
thanks by a special messenger. Later
Averoff donated few million dollars
to the war fund Of Greece. Averoff Is
q native Of Greece, who, in his boy
hood, went to Russia and Russianized
his name. The start Of his immense
fortune was made with his uncle, who
was Russian merchant. The young
Greek inherited 100000, and increased
It many times by making contracts
with the Government to provision the
Russian army in the war twenty years
ago with the Turks. So quiet has been
his life that until lately he has been
almost unknown.

A cONTENTED PEOPLE.
Mexican Villagers Whose Habits Are Very
Simple.

olmpl6.
The inhabitants of the little interior
villages Of Mexico retain many of their
primitive customs. They are peace
able, congenial and religious. Their
life, though monotonous in the ex-
treme, is a happy one. They cultivate
corn, beans, wheat, and possess small
herds of cattle and goats. The
women, in addition to performing
their household duties, cultivate
vegetables, flowers, fruits and plants
for medicinal use. They raise cotton,
from which they spin and weave
manta IA cotton fabric) for clothing.
On their feast days, which are
many, they go to church dressed in
their bright costumes, those of the
maidens being white adorned with
ribbons of many colors. The senoras
wear striped dresses of white and
blue. The hair is worn plated in two
braids, while upon the head is the in
dispensable "mazclohuati" IA head
dress worn by the lower caste Mexi-
cans), woven in red cotton. The
women's eyes are large and express
sive, and their teeth perfect and bril-
liantly white. The form is slight and
the movements graceful.
The young men dress in jackets
without sleeves and knee breeches.
Upon the day of their marriage they
adopt trousers, which are made by the
"Novia" tsweetheart) who has already
woven the manta They take their
places in the church with the children,
senoritas and senoras on the right and
the men and boys on the left. They
pray and sing in the native Mexican
language, which is richer, sweeter
and more expressive than the Spanish.
In the "Dias tianguis" market
days, they assemble and exchange
their goods. Money is superhuity,
and the interchange is made by means
of barter and trade.
Their meals consist of "maza de
maiz' flour of corn, which is mixed
with powdered chile, in making
tomales, tortillas, frejoles (beans),
and the native fruits and vegetables,
of which there is an endless variety,
including aguacates, nanches, tetec-
zas, tilapos, sandals, chicozapotes,
melones aud others.
Every year the people assemble to
elect their Judge, Or alcalde, whom
they usually obey implicitly. This
magistrate is selected from the older
men of the pueblo. City Of Mexico

Cargo of CannibaIs.

That Brussels shall have unique
exhibition, scores of cannibals are be-
ing brought into Belgium from the
Congo Free State territory. How
these queer individuals shall be fed is
one OF the perplexities of the managers
of the fair. People accustomed to diet
on their fellows find it difficult to get
used to the delicacies of civilization.
Years ago Fiji Islander was brought
to the United States to negotiate a
treaty. He couldn't adapt himself to
the mild meat of the Americans, and
he sickened and died. His body is
buried in the little graveyard of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. With carload
OF cannibals the difficulties Of the
situation greatly increase. Belgium
evidently wanted to create sensa-
ton, SO Afrikanders of the most pro-
nounced peculiarities were secured.
On one ship 268 Congo natives were
brought to Antwerp. A score Of them
belong to the tribe which recently re-
volted against Baron Dhants.
Some of the black men come from
an upper Congo tribe which thinks
that the beauty Of its people is greatly
enhanced by what white men would
consider Disagreement. When young,
these natives have their cheeks sliced
in two places. The intervening flesh
is drawn up and made to protrude
like cocks comb. In some of the
tribes this comb is made to extend
from the forehead to the crown Of the
head.
