AnRleWOrm Farm In Maine.

The most curious farm in the Unit
I'd States is located at Bangor, Maine,
says tho New York Sun. 1t is for the
breeding of aagleworms for fisher
men and the proprietor has already
made shipments to almost every part
OF the country. Six years ago Carl
Beers was with fishing party at the
Moosehead lake and they ran out of
bait. There was not All aDgIeworm to
be had within twenty miles of the
lake and Beers then resolved that he
would cultivate them the first chance
he got. He built into the ground res
ervoirs OF Roman cement, and care
fully glazed the walls 30 that escape
would be impossible. These we're fit
ted with a system of sub irrigation
and a drainage by which the reser-
voirs were alternately flooded and
drained with fresh water.
The queerest thing about this novel
business is the method used in MAX

Instead Of a generous supply of rich
earth, the reservoirs were filed with
old bran, which produces large and
exceedingly lively worm. The Ban
gor merchants have no trouble now
in getting rid Of their waste bran.
Beers takes all they have and pays
good price for it. The worms breed
twice year. laying their eggs in May
and August. They reach their ma
turity at the age OF seven months.
The worms are fed on lettuce leaves
and grass and they thrive on this fod.
der.
Beers has a great demand for his
worms for fishermen in Montreal and
Quebec. He packs them in moss sc
that they will not freeze i'll winter OF
die Of heat in the summer time. He
has recently shipped 100000 eggs to
Lake ChampDain, where farm Is to
be started, and he received princely
price. At the present time Beers

man who is somewhat of judge of

intellectual pursuits, like the studies
OF the scholarly professions, when
coupled with temperate and good moral
habits OF life, brighten the. face and
give the person refined and superior
look. Magnanimity OF nature or the
love OF study and art will make a bright.
glad face, but, contrary to this, a man
may have a face that does not please
anybody, because of love of self to the
exclusion of others, Notwithstanding
his learning and worldly shrewdness::
Soldiers get hard, severe look; over
worked laborers constantly look tired;
reporters look inquisitive; Judges be-
come grave, even when off the bench:

this subject is to see third-class law

suggest that the State Ceptra Com.

other appointments to full dress,
and that they be compelled to exhibit
certificates of good standing in the

The Journals suggestion is all
right, but how would Bro. Dennis
