Call and get Acquainted,

Those in Weiser who have notdone
so already should take the time to
pay a visit to the upper story of the
Ayers building. Since it has been
divided into offices the appearance
tends toward metropolitan. The first
YOU reach of the new rooms is occu-
pied by Mr.. Travis, the energetic
young attorney who has located with
us. He starts off in a professional
and business like manner which in
dicates Il strict attention to legal mat
ters and the conception of the re-
duirements of a successful lawyer
which at once reassures the visitor
and justifies the prediction that he
will soon secure q good share of
Washington county practice. His
office is pleasant and furnished ac-
cording TO modern taste, and n social
call upon him will leave pleasant
Impression.
The next door is that of j. w.
Easter, the new resident dentist, who
has fitted up his room rs pleasant as
any parlor in Weiser. He has divi-
ded the room hy large oriental
screen which is his own handiwork.
He has fine lot of instruments
which are orderly and conveniently
arranged The dental chair is 1
most wonderful piece of mechanism
and probably the only one of the
kind in the state. 1t is worth Tho
visit to examine this piece of ingenu
ity.
The three front rooms are finished
but not yet occupied by Dr. Mum
bers, but a glance through the doc
will reveal what fine quarters the,
will be when furnished

CURIOUS MAINE NAMES.
The Postoffice List Shows Many Traces Of
Early Indian Influences.

The Postoffice List Shows Many Traces of
Early Indian Influences.
There are 1,193 postoffioes in the state
of Maine, and, although many OF them,
especially in the southern and more thick
ly populated portions of the state, bear
plain, simple, short and easily pronounced
American names, there are a considerable
number in what may be called "the back
woods or the interior which bear names
of Indian origin. In Aroostook county
there are Wytopitlook, Mattwamkeag, Ok
bow, Mooseluek, Meduxakeag and Mao
wahoctown. In Piscataquis county there
are Mattagomonsis, Spurdnabunk, I'm
sumtalum, Nahmakanta, Allaguash and
Pamedecock In Somerset county, Chem
basabamticook, Cauquomgomoc, Mas
kampbunk and Seeboomook. In Franklin
county, Moostookmaguntic; in Oxford,
Malehunkemunk, Parmachene and Um
bagog
There are very few French or French-Ca-
madam names in the whole state By the
last state census of the Pine Tree State
there were 7S, 600 foreign born inhabitants
within It's borders and of this number about
two-thirds, or $4,000, were Canadian,
chiefly French Canadian. There were by
that census only 100 German, 2, 600 Scan
dinavian and II, 900 Irish inhabitants in
the state out of q total population Of $780,
O00 but notwithstanding this circum-
stance and the fact that the upper portions
of Maine were for time under French
rule there is practically no trace of French
names in these counties or in the towns
composing them, although in neighboring
Vermont, the total foreign population Of
xx,hi DC o,1fcsHa nf tho Iop0Q cifi0E YpIJoh
smaller than is that of Maine, French
names are largely preserved. The title
Vermont is itself French (green noun
tain) the title of the capital Montpelier,
is taken from French city; Grand Isle,
Orleans and Mamoille are distinctively
French, and many of the townships have
French names, which are much easier Of
comprehension and much less open to the
chance Of mistake than are those of the Pc
culiar and confusing style which is SO gen.
eral in Maine To the business of the dead
letter office Maine makes a considerable
contribution each year.-New York Sun.

NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FAT IS ONLY A QUESTION
OF EATING PROPER FOOD.


Thin people who want to get fat should eat
proper food and digestlt
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people IS that
they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They don't get
enough nourishment They are slowly being
starved, They are poisoned by the products OF
lermented and putrid food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, gentle, natural,
vegetable digestive, attacks the food in your
stomach just like the digestive juices, and turns
II into healthful nourishment. 1t helps your
stomach naturally. 1t makes thin dyspeptics
fat. 1t makes poisonous blood pure. 1t tones
up and cures the stomach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial because nothing else goes so
naturally about it.
This is why it has been so successful in re-
leving nausea. vomiting, dizziness. weakness.
bad taste, fever fatulence. constipation. loss of
appetite, headache. neuralgia. rheumatism.
ETC., by curing the disorder which causes the
symptoms.
A few doses will prove its value, but YOU
won't get fat on one bottle

THE FAMILY IN JAPAN.
Filial Piety and the Longing For Immor
tality Its Guiding Stars.

Filial Piety and the Longing For Immor-
tality Its Guiding Stars.
In a recent lecture Professor Kakiehi
Mitsukuri of the University of Tokyo gave
q description of the social life in his native
country, which differs materially from
many other accounts. "The social unit in
Japan he said, is the family, each fam
lily having its officially registered head,
frequently the wife, Occupations in all
classes as rule are handed down from
generation to generation, and 1t is mat
ter Of family pride that that occupation
does not deteriorate The works of an
oestors are kept constantly before the fam
lily as sacred models, and the result is the
iniInitable beauty of Japanese productions.
Another interesting custom arising out of
the treatment of the family as the social
unit is seen in the fact that the head Of the
family always has the same name and that
as each person succeeds to the dignity he
changes his youthful name to the family
name.
Though this custom still survives in the
country districts, there is no stagnation of
social and industrial types, it being now
within the power of the humblest to rise to
the highest office in the state by merit
alone. The first known ancestor is regard
ed as the founder Of the family; the names
Of ancestors are kept ON tablets in the most
sacred place Of the house, while the anni-
versaries of the deaths of ancestors are OBJ
served with more or less Of religious cere.
mony. Women are held in oommendable
respect, while children are treated with
difference; they represent the future gener-
ations There is strong desire in the
mind of the father that the memory Of
tn ose who have gone before should be kept
green; hence the idea of the family as the
social unit is kept up by two factors-flial
piety and the longing for Immortality"
The Portland daily press., 1898-03-04
Mr.. BouTELLE ENLIGHTENED.
Naval Chairman EeId Long Conferences
With secretary Long.

Washington, March.3 Secretary Long
spent good part of the morning in close
communication with Chairman BoLtelle
| of the House Naval committee. He denied
himself to all other callers and from time
to time sent for the various bureau chiefs
of the department, pretty clear indica-
tion that Mr.. Boutelle was being supplied
with such information as the department
could furnish as to the Immediate needs
of the naval service. Up to noon no word
had come to the departm from the
court of inquiry at Key West.
If the progress of the inquiry at Havana
depends upon the work of the wreckers,
as seems to be tho case considerable delay
must inevitably occur. The derrick Chief
is now storm bound just inside the
Chesapeake capes, although it was fully
expected that by this time she would be
probable that the derrick can reach
Havana harbor and get at work much be-
fore the middle of next week.
A most substantial evidence of gym.
pathy for the survivors of the Maine and
the families of the victims came to hand
at the navy department today in the
shape of check of $500 from President
Dole of Hawaii. The money was turned
into the Maine relief fund.
The battleships Kearsaree and Ken
lucky, the largest ever built for the
United States navy, are to be completed
and turned over to the government with
IN ten months il finished under the terms
of the contract.
The GOAL mining companies throughout
the country, especially those near the sea-
board, have been prompt in their offers to
the navy department to furnish coal in
the event of trouble with Spain, and the
department has taken steps to ascertain
the probable supply and its location, etc.,
available in the case of an emergency.
DIDN'T CONCERN EMERGING CIES.
Washington, March "a conference
was held between Secretary Long !. and
Representative Boutelle, chairman Of the
House naval committee today. 1t proved
to be in, reference to the regular naval
bill and had no connection with emer-
ge1lcy measures Mr.. Long said they had
gone over the question Of docks, equip
ment, etc., as provided in the regular
bill. Captain Crowninshield bad been
called in to discuns the matter of addt-
tional men and apprentices which had
been recommended. In no sense, the secre-
tary said, had the emergency question
come up. There was no need of consider
ing them now, he said, as no doubt ex-
listed that Congress would act promptly
should any emergency arise requiring
supplies beyond that of the. regular appro-
priation bill.

CUT WAS ExAGGERA TED.

Biddeford, March 3.-Agent Robert Mo.
Arthur ofSthe Pepperell ard Laconia mills
takes exception to a statemsnt made In
a despatch yesterday from Springfield re-
aarding the visit Of o committee of strik-
ers from Biddeford and Saoo to that city.
The statement that Baddeford and Saco
mill hands are suffering a out varying
from 10 to 2S per cent, he says is mislead-
ing al. far as.the Pepperell and Laconia
mills are concerned. The reduction iu
these mills is in no case higher than 10
per cent and in some instances there if
no reduction. The average reduction is
about s per cent.
