Which Was He.

The Philadelphia Record tells of a
pious looking man who went to cloth
ing store and asked to see some cloth
ing. A salesman took him in hand and
after little time selection was made
After trying on the garments the Gus
toner said: "Just lay those clothes
aside. Some one will be in to pay for
them in few minutes. I'm son of
God and never pay for anything" The
surprised salesman did as he was bid
and the stranger went out A group Of
statesmen watched him as he departed
and noticed that he stood on the pave
ment near the door, with his eyes closed
and his lips moving as if in silent pray
er. After 20 minutes had elapsed he re-
turned to the store and said, did any
one pay for those clothes?" On receiv-
ing negative answer he continued
without the least trace of disappoint-
ment in his voice or manner, "Well,
then, guess l shan't take them, and
departed. Now the witnesses of the
scene are wondering whether the man
is lunatic or merely firm believer i'll
the efficacy of prayer.

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

Mr. Abram Verrill, the Gilead spruce
gum man, was in Lewiston the other
night. He brought the gum i'll big dry
goods box in the rear of his wagon.
The gum is gathered by himself OH the
mountains back of Bear mountain, Old
Combo and Gilead hill, and he comes
here with it every month or two On
this trip he started with two bushels,
which it took him two weeks to gather.
He is armed with gouge when he goes
into the woods, and takes only the best
of the gum he finds, which he puts into
a basket slung on his back
One day Mr.. Nerrill was at work i'll
a patch of old spruce trees on Mount
Eli, four miles from Gilead station. To
the south the mountain fell off sheer
for over 200 feet and on the north was
another cliff rising 40 or so feet. He
was OH shelf. Sudde lly he heard a
growl and a whistle, and looking up
saw black bear eating the spruce gum
which he had left i'll his basket against
the cliff. He had no arms, but seized Il
stone and hurled it at the bear with
such force that it struck him on the
left side, and probably hurt, for the ami
NAL ran away and into a hole i'll the
cliff as fast as he could. He had eaten
a pound of gum.
Mr.. Verrill says it was in the fall,
and that bears always eat gum before
going into their dens to hibernate. 1t
"keeps their stomachs from growing to-
gether while they take their three
months nap" says he.-Lewiston Jour
nal.

Queen WilheImina's Oath.

The coronation of the young queen of
Holland will take place, according to a
recently published decree, ON Sept. Q.
On that day the young woman, with
right hand raised, in the presence of
the states general, will pledge herself
to the following formula, which is a
strange contrast to the oaths admins
tered to the Russian and German en-
perors:
81 swear to the people of the Neither
lands to observe and always maintain
the fundamental law. Ipledge myself
to defend and to preserve with all my
power the Independence of the kingdom,
to protect public and private liberty
and the rights of all my subjects and to
employ for the preservation and adj
vancement of individual and general
prosperity all the means which the laws
place at my disposal as the due of an
upright queen. And may God aid me in
ny work"

Population of Cuba.

The Spanish newspapers have recent
ly published data concerning the popu-
lation of Cuba at the time the present
devastating war began. The figures for
the six provinces are only approximate
and are as follows: Matanzas, 300 600 :;
Havana, $50, 600; Puerto Principe,
$4,000; Santa Clara, 800, 900; Pinar
del Rio, 800, 900; Santiago de Cuba,
$50, 600; total, 1,7G2, 900. OF this pop
ulation 1928, 600 was white, 400, 900
negroes and mixed bloods, and "A, 600
Chinese and other Asiatics. The two
chief cities Havana and Matanzas had
respectively 300, 900 and 60, 900 inhab-
itants. 1t is believed that the frightful
devastation of war, pestilence and fam
inc has reduced the number of inhabit-
ants fully one-third. Bulletin Ameri-

New Smoke Preventer.

The latest smoke preventer and fuel
economizer halls from Austria and is
the invention of Herr Fritz Maier. 1t
is based upon the principle of closed
furnace doors and slow feeding without
the admission of air from above during
the stocking. The arrangement consists
of an automatic stoker which drops the
fuel in small quantities on the front
end of the fire without admitting air
from above. By means of another auto
matte arrangement the fuel is gradually
shoveled along the fire, the apparatus
being kept cool by water. This water
is used for feeding the boiler, which it
enters at temperature of about 70 de-
grees G. By these means perfect COM
bustion is said to be attained Accord
ing to report, the system has been in
use for six months in factory near
Vienna with a saving of 33 per cent in
the fuel and 80 per cent in labor, one
stoker doing the work of en.-Machin-

Lightning In Winter a Sign of War.

Lightning In Winter a Sign of War.
William Gordon Gerry of New Hamp-
shire writes to this paper: SIS it part
of the natural laws of the universe that
general disturbance of the people in n
nation should cause electrical disturb
ances in the shape of lightning and
thunder at intervals during winter
season in the northern sections of IA
country prior to war? AS a boy in
Boston l remember a remark made-by
my grandparent, Lucy Holmes Cam
bridge Tisdale, during the winter sea-
son of 1861, that a frequent display
of lightning in the heavens in winter
was sign of war. She had noticed
lightning during the winter months of
that season, which was the cause of the
remark. The civil war followed. Dur
ing the past winter season in this sec
ton of the country there have been
lightning and thunder at different times
and now follows war with Spain. Is
this a coincidence?' - Boston Tran

The Letter.

We hated to think De Lome wrote that letter. Americans thought likely that in his heart he despised the Amer ican people and thought President Mo Kin1ey Flow politician, :" but they did give him credit for having common sense enough not to say such thing even to himself. He finally showed, however, that he had not even horse sense. He made the worst break a for eign minister could have made. De Lome, the voneered gentleman, the hypocrite, is another late but not la mented highborn Spaniard gone to join Weyler. He put into actual words the opinion of not only himself but of the whole Spanish government and people in regard to this country, that, too, aft CT both the Cleveland and the Mckinley administration have strained themselves to favor and bolster up the rotten, wick ed and monstrous cause of Spain in Cuba. De Lome in Washington was treated with particular courtesy and tenderness.
 Now all mankind can see the result of this course on our part. The Cuban junta in New York never did so splen- did stroke of business for the patriot cause as when it succeeded in stealing and making public that villainous Dc Lome letter It certainly ruined De s.osne.
