WHO WILL SUCCEED HIM =?
Bangor Says Judge WisweII. with IA. Powers
to Succeed Latter.

Bangor. Me. Dec. l2.-In a letter to
Gov. Powers. dated Dec. IL. Chief Justice
John A. Peters signifies his intention to
terminate his official career from the
Maine bench, Jan. /. 1900
Judge Peters graduated from Yale Col
lege. in 1912. took a course in the Cam
bridge law school and was admitted to
the bar in Bangor. in 1874. He quickly
made his way up the rounds of the ladder
of his profession and in 1864. 1865 1866
was attorney general of the State. From
1861 to 1873 he very ably represented this
Congressional district. and the latter year
he was appointed an associate justice.
He succeeded Judge Appleton as chief
justice. in 1883. an office he has since held
with eminent ability.
1t is generally understood that Judge
Peters will be succeeded by Justice Wis
we'll one of the younger members of the
bench. but one who has all the necessary
qualities to fit him for the high honors
which have been so ably borne by long
line of distinguished Maine lawyers. The
deserved promotion of Justice Wiswell
will make a vacancy on the bench and
this it is thought will be filled by the ap
pointment of Hon. +. A Powers of
Houlton. an able lawyer and former at
general.

Human Ignorance.

A child was asked to name the prnci-
pal organs Of the human body. and this
was his reply: The organs Of ne BODY
are the heart lungs and other utensils. .
The ignorance Of many adults about the
human body is actually appalling. Con-
stipatiOn is considered nothing. Indiges-
ton is annoying but nothing serious.
Biliousness brings melanchola but then
luck is blamed and not the liver A dose
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters would
quickly show these people where they
stand. This is the medicine which has
been known as the dyspepsia -conuueror
for the last fifty years. 1t will cure your

should GO. Eyebrows that meet call for
a seance with the electric needle or con-
stant use of the tweeZers. Of course you
all know that the tweeZers. if used once,
must be used repeatedly, for every hair
removed in this way viii almost always
return. In the place OF each soft, doTny
hair there will come a bigger. sturdier
one. so il is wisdom when using the
tweezeTs to take only the long, fierce,
black hairs. When the eyebrows are
particularly thin and faded the following
tonic will cause them TO brace up and
make something Of themselves:
Red yaSeline. three ounces.
Tincture of cantharides, half an ounce.
Jamaica rum. half an ounce.
origanum. six drops.
Glycerine. quarter Of an ounce.
OIL Of rosemary. five drops.
Trimming the points Of the eyelashes in
extreme youth will increase their length
and luXuTiance, but in the case of
gTown-ups the growth will probably not
continue. SO, do not experiment, unless
you want to take the chance Of going
through the world with a little stubby
fringe across your eyes In place Of the
curling soft curtains Of which the poets
sing. 1t is rather a risky proceeding ap-
plying tonics TO the eyelashes. as II is apt
