The nurse is often brought to closer OBJ.
servation of the effect of any medicine than
the doctor himself. In constant attendance
upon the patient day and night, he observes
the effect of every dose of medicine, while
the doctor only sees the patient occasionally
and must rely, more or less, upon the re.
ports of the nurse. Pe-ru-na is in high favor
with the nurses. Il is specific for catarrhal
diseases of all varieties. 1t cures catarrh
of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh
OF the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh
of the kidneys, and that form of catarrh so
common among women, known to the pro.
fession as pelvic catarrh, ordinarily called
female complaint. Pe-ru-na cures these
troubles promptly and permanently. 4

Two Not Always Company.

People who are shut off from contin-
ual contact with their kind are apt to
grow splenetio. Army officers who have
lived for long periods at one company
post on the frontier and the wives Of
these army officers may know something
about the difficulties of small groups Of
human beings living together and low
ing one another.
Keepers of lighthouses do not always
get along together, and if there are two
lighthouse keepers and two lighthouse
keepers wives the result is generally a
monkey and parrot time.
Light housekeeping in lighthouses by
lighthouse keepers wives often leads to
heavy work with rolling pins.
Even husbands and wives have been
known to quarrel ON the honeymoon
tour, not because they did not love one
another, but because. being in foreign
countries, they were cut off from their
kind and were forced to rely entirely on
one anotber's society. 1t is one of the
weaknesses Of human nature. Man is
gregarious. When few individuals are
isolated, they nearly always quarrel. -

Good News for Scion and
Embden.

Hon. Turner Boswell and E. N. Mer-
rlll Esq, one OF the assignees of the
Moosehead Pulp and Paper Company,
arrived from Portland, this morning, and
confirm the report given elsewhere in
regard to the operating Of the plant
Of that company at an early day.
The bond holders, who now have
possession of the plant have come to an
arrangement with the assignees and by
the payment of certain sum Of money
acquire undisputed right to, aud control
of the whole property, and no further
difficulties or great delays are now ex-
pected In getting the wheels of the mill
to work grinding pulp.
This is certainly the best kind of news
for the towns of Scion, Embden and
vicinity and will also be to the advant-
age Of those who hold attachments upon
pulp wood and logs, for labor and ex-
pense in cutting and hauling this lumber
as the company will need this lumber to
work on.

The News Confirmed.

Washington Feb. ia dispatch was
received close upon midnight from Cap
tain Sigsbee, confirming the news of the
destruction Of the Maine by mysterious
explosion and saying: Send light
house tender from Key West for crew
and few pieces of equipment still above
water. No one had other clothes than
those upon him. Public opinion should
be suspended until further report. All
officers believed to be saved. Jenkins
and Merritt not yet accounted for.
Many Spanish officers, including rep
resentatives OF Captain General Blanco,
now with me, and express sympathy"
(Signed) Sigsbee.
From the wording of the dispatch the
navy department thinks it possible that
Jenkins and Merritt were on shore at
the time of the accident. The secretary
of the navy received another dispatch
from Key West at the same time with
the above, but it's contents were not
made public. The orders for the light
house tender were at once sent to Key
West in plain language. thus avoiding
the delay that would have arisen from
the use of cipher.
With the exception of the secretary
and Captain Dickens the naval colony
here was ignorant of this disaster, the
greatest which has befallen the Ameri-
can navy since the disaster at Apia
years ago. The secretary is inclined to
believe that most of the officers Of the
Maine were on shore at the time of the
accident. as 1t was still early in the night
While neither the secretary nor Captain
Dickens is inclined to discuss the par
ticular cause of the accident. several
suggestions were ventured upon. They
believe that II may have been caused by
q fire In the bunkers. heating of the
bulkhead near a magazine, or that an
accident may have occurred while in
speeding high explosives for torpedoes.
OF course this is mere speculation and
the secretary anxiously awaited a
more detailed report from Captain Sigs-

note that an Oxford scholar Of my

mat he might continue reading it after
the library was closed, used to begin by
asking leave for some unique manu-
script. and when that was refused q
book somewhat less valuable, coming

THE TROUBLESOME DUST.
Why the Scientist Appreciates It More
Than the Housewife.

W
Than the Housewife.
The bane of the ideal housekeeper's
life is dust, and yet this seemingly in
significant, exasperating dust has been
q study Of scientists for a century.
when beam of sunlight enters a
darkened room, it can be seen along its
whole COURSE" says one writer. 1.-The
light is reflected to every side and made
to reach the eye by the dust in the air
Of the room. We do not see the sun
beam. but the dust which is illumined
by it. AS unimportant as this curious
stuff seems. it plays conspicuous part
in nature. 1t is what makes the sky APP
pear blue, and when we look at the sky
we see the dust illuminated by the sun.
Light goes through all the gases---the
dust catches it, reflects it in every di-
rection, and so causes the whole atmos-
phere to appear clear, in the same way
that it makes the sunbeam visible in
the dark room.
"Without this strange, wonderful
dust there would be no blue sky. 1t
would be as dark or darker than on moon
less nights. The glowing disk of the sun
would stand Immediately against the
black background, thus producing blind
ing light where the suns rays fall and
deep black shadows where they do not.
1t is to dust that we owe the moderately
tempered daylight adapted to our eyes,
and it is dust that contributes to the
beauty OF the scenery The finest dust
gives the blue tone to the sky, while the
coarser kind produces an almost black
appearance.
1.-THE clouds consist of dust and va
por. If there be only little dust. all
the vapor is precipitated upon it, and
30 loads the clouds with water that they
sink in heavy drops to the ground.
Without dust the vapor would penetrate
houses, making everything mold with
damp. We should feel upon going out
that our clothes were becoming saturat-
ed and umbrellas would be q useless
protection. 1t is hard, indeed, to con-
oeive how different everything would
be If there were no dust. This trivial
common stuff has its considerable part
in the processes of nature, and there is
much of the wonderful and mysterious
concealed in it's flmy PARTICLES. DE

the Sobriquet.
The people around the little mountain
town, says the Yakima Wash. Herald,
called him "Old Comparison, and
knew in general way why the sobriquet
had been given him. but did not, during
my months stay, have an opportunity
to test it, though l had speaking ac-
quaintance with him. One day I was
passing his house and he was sitting on
the steps of the little vine clad porch
in front.

"Finer'n silk" he responded.
"How aro you this morning?"
"Friskier II colt.
"How's your wife?"
"Pearter II IA pullet.
"The weather is very hot and dry for

"Hotter'n a run horse and drier'n a

And the old man grabbed his hat and

tions as usual.

A Terrible Disaster.

At 9.45, Tuesday evening, a terrific ex-
plosion occurred on board the battleship
Maine, In Havana harbor, and In less
than an hour the noble warship had gone
down. OF this vessel, which cost the
United States e2,500, 900, all that re-
mains is shattered hull and few pieces
of armament. or her crew two officers,
Merrill and Jenkins are missing, and
about two hundred and sixty men are
dead or missing.
At first as the news was flashed
around the world the general idea was
that the explosion was the work Of
Spaniards or Cubans, but it is generally
conceded that 1t was on the inside of the
ship and near the quarters Of the crew
which accounts for the great number of
deaths.
There were two explosions, the first is
said to have been caused by over 600
pounds of gun cotton, and the subse-
Quent explosion is alleged to have been
caused by shells and cartridges.
Even foreign comment ON the disaster
expresses the suspicion that the explo-
sion may have been caused by foul
means. A London dispatch figures out
an Internal machine which had been
hidden in the coal and thrown into the
furnaces.
All Spanish officials express the ut
most sympathy, and those at Havana
have been prompt and efflcacious In rem
dering assistance
Secretary Long has taken measures to
Investigate the matter.
Nothing has caused such Intense ex-
citement In our country for MANY years.

act details

Captain Sigsbee and the other officers
have been saved. 1t Is estimated that
over 100 of the crew werekilled, but it is
impossible to give exact details
Captain Sigsbee says the explosion oc-
Cured in the bow Of the vessel. He re-
ceived u wound lin the head Orders
were given to the other officers to save
themselves as best they could. The
latter, who were literally thrown from
their hunks in their night clothing, gave
the necessary orders with great self
possession and bravery.
The first theory was that there had
been a preliminary..ex explosion in the
Santa Barbara (magazine) with powder
or dynamite below water. Admiral
Manterola believes that the first ex-
plosion was of grenade shell that was
hurled over the navy yard. He ordered
that boats of all kinds should go to the
assistance of the Maine and her wound
ed. The Havana f1remen gave aid, tend
ing carefully to the wounded as they
were brought on shore.
1t was a terrible sight. General So
lano and the other generals were or
dered by Captain Blanco to take steps
to help the Names crew in every way
possible.

The De LONE Letter.

The event of the past week that has
paused the greatest interest in political
circles, was the letter Of De LONE, the
Spanish minister at Washington, to Senior
Canalejas, a friend In Havana. The let
Der 1t appears was seen by some one con-
pected with the embassy on De Lone's
Desk before it was mailed, and this per-
Jon informed a member OF the Cuban
unsa Of LIS contents. The junts con-
Eluded It would be big card to capture
his letter, and It was done through a
post office employee at Havana, Cuba, at
20 expense, 1t is said, of 5000. The
etter was sent to the State department
Washington, and the Spanish minister
onfronted with It. He acknowledged
hat he wrote it and Immediately sent
lie resignation to the government at
Madrid, where 1t was promptly accepted.
The letter not only reflected upon
President Mckinley and the government,
ut be also represented that the Spanish
overnment was not sincere In its over
ures to secure certain commercial ar
Judgements between Cuba and the United
tates. 1t was very indiscreet letter
ora diplomat to write, and De LONE
eelng that his usefulness as minister
Washington was at an end, wisely
esigned as soon as he could do so.
1t Is announced that Spain has prompt
met all demands of the Washington
|overnment upon it in this affair, and
be Incident Is practically closed. The
liter has been delivered to the agent OF
analeias, the rightful owner. Senior
ouis Polo Barnabe has been appointed

why tho Blind Do Not Smoke.

A popularity about blind people is
that there is seldom one of them who
smokes. Soldiers and sailors accustomed
to smoking and who have lost their sight
in action continue to smoke FOR a short
time, but soon give up the habit. They
say 1t gives them no pleasure when they
cannot see the smoke, and some have
said that they cannot taste the smoke
unless they see it. New York Ledger.
