Whisky and Coffins.

Capt. Slocum, who is telling in The Cen
fury of his voyage around the world
alone in a little sloop, the Spray, was
familiar with most of the ports in which
he found himself on his journey Of 49,
600 miles. One of these was Buenos
Ayres. There he looked in vain for the
man who once sold whiskey and collins in
Buenos Ayres; the march of civiliza-
ton had crushed Eim-memory only chung
to his name. ''Enterprising man that
he was, fain would have looked him
up. | remember the tiers of whisky
barrels, ranged on end, on one side of
the store, while on the other side, and di-
vided by thin partition, were the collins
in the same order, of all sizes and in great
numbers. The unique arrangement seem
ed in order, for as a cask was emptied, a
coffin might be filled Besides cheap
whisky and many other liquors, he sold
''cider," which he manufactured from
damaged Malaga rasins. Within the
scope of his enterprise was also the sale
of mineral waters, not entirely blameless
of the germs of disease. This man surely
catered to all the tastes, wants, and con
ditons of his customers

The Beet Animal in Waldo County


Estate Board of Agriculture Bulletin.)
BELMONT / am a firm believer in neat
stock, and l firmly believe that better beef
can be raised here than in the West and
fully as cheaply The farmers of Maine will
do better in the future to raise more young
steers and working oxen. as they make the
best kind of a farm team. The Herefords
suit the best of anything in the beef
| animal, also for working cattle, as they
will make more growth for the feed given
than any other breed. Will you please tell
me through the bulletin where anytns can
purchase some thoroughbred Hereford stock
in Maine and the best place? IL. F. Allen

We presume there are other breeders in
Maine, but these usually exhibit stock at
the StatIefairs. Secretary
MORRILL,. 1t is quite generally admitted
that stock of some kind must be kept on the
farm in order to keep up its fertility. l be-

pound butter COW" But many farmers are
so circumstanced that dairying, save what is
necessary for home use, is out of the ques-
ton. Such farmers, and they are the major
ity, must raise beef or mutton. Either in
dustry is good one. 1t seems to me that
the chances for success are greater in beef
what course to adopt, | commence looking
around for the proper stock to make beef of,
and here is the Tubt | find myself in the
same Tx that l have long been in as a dairy
man. There is said to be a lot Of cows that
will make 300 pounds of butter per year, but
| can't get them. l would stock up for beef
with wel-formed Hereford or Durham steers.
But where are they? So we have to com
mence where we are, with the stock we have,
and do the best we can, and that best will
result in very small profit. The fact is, hay
ing decided what line of husbandry We wish
| to follow, we need years of patient, intelli-
| gent work along that line before we NAV
| hope for any great measure of success If
we breed our own stock for beef then we
must search out the proper mothers to breed
from, and constantly have supply of calves
and yeariings ready to take the place of
those turned over to the butcher. Now,
while there may be good profit in matur-
ing and fattenlng steers to be turned off at
. years. or even three years old, if kept till
4 or years old the profit may be nil. In the
last bulletin | asked, 'What shall we do
with the so per cent. of stock for which we
have n hay?" l wonder that you did not
advise US, that this would be good time to
fatten for beef the vast amount of stock kept
on our farms that is Improbable either for
butter making or to turn into beef, If
farmers would do this, and in the future
stock up only with the best, then this past
seasons drouth and consequent hay crop
failure might prove blessing to US all. RI.

care to venture abroad in rough water On
the afternoon OF Sept. 9Th, when the gale
was throwing sailing craft against the
shores of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia,
Marden went to the border Of the lake with
a wheelbarrow. He worked hard for two
hours, building broad semicircular wall of
broken glass around the mouth to the cave
of snakes. Then he went home and let out
his ducks.
No snakes We're seen in the lake for d
week Curious persons who took pains to
creep up to the crystal barrier saw great
heaps of hungry and sad-eyed snakes twist
ing about in the space between the wall and
the opening to the cave. If anybody made
noise the serpents went out of sight in the
darkness under the bluffs The cottagers
wanted to load guu with fine shot or salt
and shoot the snakes hut Marden resisted
the idea successfully, saying:
Let 'em be an suffer. Didn't they kill
my ducks, blast them? They must climb
over that glass starve to death, so they re
sure to die anyway, unless the water rises
and lets them swim out"
The beleagured garrison stood the siege
for six days. W lille the visitors stood by to
witness the torture. On Sept. -, sortie
was IN AIDE. Marden saw dozen or two of
the leanest ones scaling the walls and stain
ing the glass with blood, and called out all
hands to witness the final act. The snakes
moved in steady lines of bottle green and
drab for nearly an hour. The glass was wet
and the dry sand turned red, but the pro-
cession never stopped until the last snake
had committed suicide. The bodies of Ais
snakes were counted on the sand, Some of
them were six feet long.

"OId Home Week.

Some Suggestions 20 the SearspOiters from
former towIssaan.
The sons and daughters of Maine might
we'll copy one thing at least from their
brethren and sisters of the sold Granite
State The recent and highly success
ful meeting of New Hampshi1e's sons and
daughters, held in every city, town and
haralet throughout the State, brought
more of its people together than was ever
seen before in its history at any one
period
The train loads of people passing
through the cities along the route attract
ed great deal of attention. and the re-
marks, 'swhy don't other States do the
same" ''mighty good thing" etc, were
almost universal We have no definite
knowledge as to the number returning to
their old homes, but we feel quite sure
there must have been tens Of thousands.
Now the State of Maine can do better,
Her sons and daughters are found in every
State and territory in the Union, as well
lieve some action of the legislature of
New Hampshire was taken, which &C
counts fol the general observance of the
week. IL the absence of legislative &C
ton, why cannot Searsport take the initia-
tive and start the ball rolling" We
are satisfied the movement will be most
popular, and will find favor everywhere,
For instance, in the town there are five
hundred families every one of which
has from one to three of its members re-
siding without the State. The matter of
notices OF invitations, put into the form
of a neatly printed circular, issued by a
committee of the towns people, sent to
all its former citizens, wherever they may
be, we feel confident would bring together
large number Of people. In fact, the
event of the year would be cold Home
Week. Who will start it? Som funds
may be necessary to carry out the plan,
and we stand ready to subscribe any time
the list is presented. There would be at
least eight hundred people return to the
home of their birth during this week of
reunion. We believe this will be good
thing for the town and the occasion one
of the happiest to experience. Fathers
and mothers can expect to have the fam
lily together at least once year, and old
schoolmates could renew their former ac-
quaintances; in fact, everybody could
feel quite sure of meeting every one else
Let all join in and help the affair You
will feel better for having done something

Valuable Indian Relics.

Some important finds have been made
during the past summer by eminent eth
biologists who have been searching for
Indian relics in the vicinity of BROOKLYN
on the coast of Maine. Engaged in the
work were Professor Gushing and Major
Howell of the National Museum at Wash
ington, and to that place will 60 the i'm

ing is an authority on North American
Indians and their habits. He has spent
at least three months each year for the
past five years at BrookLn, where he has
found a fertile field for his researches.
lie is now preparing to build for himself a
stone house on the site of an ancient
Indian mound hill. Many of Prof. Cush
ing's more important finds have been on
the islands in Eggemoggin Reach, which
were favorite haunts of the Indian before
the French drove them back into the for
ests. The principal work this year has
been on Teries and Campbell's islands.
To many of the relics found Prof. Cush-
ing gives date as remote as l 900 years.
One of the most interesting finds this
year on Campbell's Island is the skeleton
of Frenchman in complete armor of
steel, buried apparently with the greatest
honor beside a chief of the tribe, with all
the accoutrements of warfare. The
body of the Indian chief had been buried
with great care and the skeleton was in a
fair state of preservation. Prof. Gushing
says the search this year has been unusu-
ally successful and the collection in the
National Museum will be enriched by
many valuable relics.
