LAFAYETTE In Maine,

cit was during the administration of
Governor Albion X. Paris, says the
Kennebec (Me.) Journal, THAT General
Lafayette made his memorable tour of
the United States and paid his visit to
Maine 1t was Oh Sunday that the
general concluded that visit and pro-
posed leaving the state from Portland.
Governor Paris demonstrated with him
for taking his departure on that day
and said, If you will postpone your trip
until Monday, l will myself escort you
to the state line with all the military
honors. But Lafayette, accustomed to
the continental Sabbath, insisted on not
altering his plans and left Maine on
Sunday, while the Sabbath honoring
governor of a God fearing state attended
his church service as was his habit. "

The Lion of Keos.

There are lions and lions, but the
lion of Ioul is the lion of Hellas, says
Professor j. Irving Mannatt in The At
lantic. The lions on guard above the
gate of MycenB may be older, but they
have lost their heads and herewith
their main majesty The lion sentinel
over Leonidas' grave at ThermopylD
disappeared ages ago, though we still
possess the inscription written for it by
Simonides:
OF beasts the bravest /, of mortals he,
Upon this mound of stone now watched by me-
The lion of Chnroneia commentaries
q great and definite event, but he has
been broken to pieces. Better luck has
attened the lion of Keos. Couched here
on his flank in the living rock, with re-
verified head % feet from tip to tail,
every feature perfect, full of life and
majesty, one can hardly think of him as
mere image made with hands. He
looks rather as if in some prehistoric
age-the colossus of his kind--he might
have lain down here alive and turned
to stone, possibly after clearing the
island of it's first occupants, for there is
a myth handed down to us by an old
writer that Keos was originally inhabit-
ed by the nymphs until they were scared
away by lion and fled to Karystos,
leaving to the jumping off place" the
name of Lion point. At all events the
monument and the myth make perfect
fit. Our lion is the very beast to strike
terror into nymphs or any other unwel-
come neighbors.

Horace Greeley,s Eccentric Ideas.

Even his eccentric ideas were made
plausible by his treatment. heard him
say once that what was then thought to
be the Great American desert ought to
be planted with Canada thistles so as to
give nature some sort of green start,
when other vegetation might be made
to follow. But the trouble is Canada
thistles, like any other thing inspired
by "pure cussedness, will only grow
and thrive where they ought not to.
Find place where thoir presence would
do some good, and, as in the Humpty
Dumpty case, "all the kings horses and
all the kings men" could not fasten
them there. This perversenoss suggests
in a certain way the small boys con-
oeption of good and bad-his enchiridion
of nature and life.
whats fun, no said, sis always
wicked; what we don't want to do is
pious.
Mr.. Greeley would cut down his
alders in the spring. When mildly sug-
gested to him that our agricultural au-
thorities preferred the autumn for that
work, when nature could not so well
aid their struggle for existence, he
thought this reason was "a mere excuse
for not cutting them at all.-Joel Ben
ton in Harper's Magazine.

The Popular FOR Terrier.

All terriers are good. They are as

stood upon canine feet or gazed at their
owner with soulful, loving eyes, and of
them all prefer the fox terrier, either
wire haired or smooth coated. These
sristocratic, diminutive gentlemen IN
questionably are today the most popular
dogs in the wide, wide world, and there
are many excellent reasons why this
should be So From the palace to the
cottage these dogs have proved their
sterling qualities to the satisfaction of
all concerned, and they are especially
well suited to the conditions which
govern in crowded centers

Irrigation.

Next time you have pain anywhere
try Irrigation.
Irrigation, according to Professor Ell
mer Gates of Washington, is "the pow
er of the individual to confine his con-
seriousness exclusively to the sensations
of any selected part Of the body and by
practice to send more blooG &c that part
and alter therein the lymphatio and
thermic functions.
ones thought, say, on ones hand for a
given time one could, by practice, send
more blood into it or Withdraw unneces-
sary blood and also make it warmer or
colder.
This is a scientific mans attempt
to explain the mind cure. 1t is ingen-
ious. Perhaps it is true Who knows
how much the con9entration of the
thought upon the toothless gums has
had to do with the growth of new sets
of teeth in old people? The next time
one of these cases is discovered let the
inquisitive scientist put these questions:
"How long have you been thinking
about your jaws as tooth producers?
Have you not been hoping and perhaps
expecting that you might get new
tooth or a whole set?"
Perhaps we are on the eve of discov-
cries that will make the doctor and
dentist unnecessary. The twenty-first
century man may acquire powers such
as the humble lizard now possesses. He
may be able to replace lost hair, teeth
and even more important organs by dir
igation.-St. Louis Post-Dispatoh.

The difference between Sampson and
Schley is the difference between a bu-
reaucrat and fighter. 1t was because
of that difference that Sampson was
given command of the North Atlantic
Squadron. Schley was the senior, and.
when any fighting was to be done, by
far the more capable officer, but Samp-
son had the confidence of the bureau
cracy which calls itself the Depart
ment
1t is not reported that Commodore
Schley made any complaint when he
was deprived OF the command of the Fly
ing Squadron and ordered to report to
Capt Sampson. He executed the few
orders with which he was honored and
bided his time
But it is difficult to control fate.
When The crisis came Sampson, the
bureaucrat, WAS absent: Schley. the
fighter, was on deck The Department
had not provided against that.
Cervera came out with his fiest and
Schley destroyed it. When Sampson
arrived the battle was won.
Being bureaucrat, Sampson elaine 1

nothing and the country was deceived

There are considerations which rem
der the American people extremely
slow 10 believe that Germany. the faith
erland of millions of American citizens,
is deliberately planning to make trouble
for this country. In spite of official as
surances that no such intention exists.
we are bound TO notice manifestations
that look very strongly the other way.
The story that Spain has ceded one
of the Sulu Islands to Germany in re-
turn for an agreement to prevent a
bombardment of Manila by Adm raj
Dewey while apparently unworthy of
credenee on its face. seems TO be ac-
cepted as probably true in the capitals

dismiss ii as a senseless canard If the

of the German naval officers in Man Ia

thing.

because he moved out of Santiago har-
Dor and spIendidly attempted that mag
nificent evolution known to war and

We are also overpoWered and nearly
paraIyzed by the grandeur OF his con-
duct SO much so, that, like the cd
ladies in the Ma Department who lust
to make more Sampsonian glory out of

scarcely stop TO ask a question. With
some difficulty We are able to conquer
this feeling, and TO inquire why il was
that Cervera, with four fine warships
and two torpedo boat destroyers, did
not try 10 hurt somebody before he sent
his vessels TO their doom at the bottom
or on the rocks?
There was apparently the most gilt

fight, which. while the net result would
have been the same, would have looked
a little better in history than a wild
race for liberty. the fighting part Of

we know what is behind the peculiar
actions of the Berlin government. Ad-
miral Dewey may or may not have
begun operations against Gen. Augustin
on the Fourth, as it is believed was his
intention, in case he found himself and
his land cooperating forces in readi-
ness. He is not the man to waste time
and an attack will not be much delayed,
if it has not already occurred. Then we
shall see what there may be in the sto-
ries of German interference.

a conflict, the end of which may be in
doubt, but which nobody imagines

that he could not rest content without

for us to accommodate him, and we do

An Amazing story.
CFrom the New York journal.

Cfrom the New ork Journal
Siboney. July Elaine had much to tell
He had ridden all over the battlefield about
Caney In addition to finding the body OF Gen.
Vera del Ray, he had learned from the Spanish
prisoners that Commander Ramero OF the famous
civil guard of Spain, desperately wounded.
He had seen the boys Of the Seventy-first New
York discover and fairly riddle a sharpshooter
perched high in a spreading mango tree. He
had witnessed the firing OF Spanish guerrillas
on Skaters headquarters early in the day, and
at dusk had reported to Shafter the death of
Gen. Vera del Ray.
These things ne told in matter-of-fact fashion,
but when next he spoke his eyes lighted with
intense intrest.
"'In the blockhouse where | was with you yes
terday," he said 1--WE found this morning
few Spanards. They were popping away, do
ing some damage and giving much trouble.
Il found Spanish prisoner and told him to
go to the bloekhoqse and tell those inside that
the Americans were about to fire a dynamite
gun at them, and they had best surrender.
Forty of them ealhe out. and the Americans
kindly turned them to me for the Cubans. -
His eyes flashed.
"And what did you do with them?''
He sniffed contemptuousiy: eve cut their
heads of. of course
And yet, behind his amour OF vengeance, bred
in the bone by century of suffering, the Cuban
is tender and gentle. One seldom finds a man
of more generous and gracious impulses than this
same Laine His hour has come, and he is lost
in the almost savage enjoyment of it.

The times., 1898-07-06

Madrid dispatches assert that the tor
pedo boat destroyers detached from Ad-
miral Camara's fleet and ordered
back to the Mediterranean are re-
turning ''in order TO destroy Commodore
Watson's squadron" If they do not
show up better than any other Spanish
vessels of their type have so far the
boot of destruction is likely to be on the
other foot. Still there is encouragement
in the idea their backward movement
represents. One more really good chance
to sink destroyers with the fire of sec
ondary batteries will have the effect of
making their kind of craft unpopular in
the navies of civilization.
