Maxim was himself aidyspeptic, and being,
as he always has been most profound
student in chemistry his mind was natural
~ turned to the solving of the great problem
of digestion.
One day it thus happened that while con-
Quoting experiments with peptonized milk,
glass of this substance, which he held in
his hand, slipped and fell from his grasp,
and became mixed with other elements in
such proportion that the long sought for
protein was formed. With the true and un-
failing insight of Maxim the experimenter
realized in a moment the importance of his
discovery-the discovery of Protein from
Pepsinzed Milk
Mr.. Maxim, after curing himself with the
new substance, at once set about expert
menting with it upon others. Every dyspep-
tic whom he experimental upon was cured !;
and since then the reputation OF the new
substance has been spreading with great
rapidity. All learned physicians agree in
advancing the medicine, because they under
stand the immense Importance of having
secured this protein
IL Will cure all cases vi dyspepsia py
whatever name they are called.
Arrangements have been made for supply
ing this valuable substance directly to the
general public. To this end the Maxim
Chemical Co. has been established at Win
throp, Me. Send to them fifty cents for
sample box containing a sufficient quantity
of the protein to start any one on the road
to recovery; or for two dollars and fifty
cents full box will be supplied, containing
a sufficient quantity of the substance to
cure cases of many years standing. When
you have tried it you will agree that the
fame of its discoverer, Samuel Maxim,
should be placed certainly not below that of
his world famous brothers, Hiram and Hud-
son.

The Most Expenstvc Fur.

The mongoose was introduced into
Jamaica to kill rats which ate the cane
plantations. Having done this, and
multiplied very rapidly, it proceeded to
kill all the snakes and lizards as well.
1t next attacked the birds Qearning to
climb trees in the process), until the
poultry and wild birds disappeared.
Then arose the ticks" or chigoes,
which the birds used to keep down,
and the island groaned under fresh
plague. The "ticks," however, finally
attacked the mongoose, which began to
decline, the birds began to reappear,
and attacked the ''tieks;" snakes and
lizards were seen once more, and in the
end the cane plantations were de-
vastated as much as ever by rats.

the important naval yard at BroollynS
Admiral Bunce is native of Connecti-
cut. His first appointment as midship-
man was made in 1852, and by the time
of the beginning of the civil war he had
received his commission as lieutenant.
In 1862, as executive officer of the Pc
nobscot, he took part in an engagement
with the batteries at Yorktown, Va.
For time he served with the army and
then went back to the Penobscot, which
was then engaged in blockading duty.
After leading successful boat expedi-
ton up Little river, he saw service Of
almost all kinds. In 1868 he was COM
missioned lieutenant commander. One
of his notable deeds was the taking of
the monitor Monadnock from Philadel-
phia to San Francisco, the first sea voy-
age ever made by monitor. He was
wounded while his vessel was in action
in November, 1863, and received honora-
BILE mention for bravery several times.
AT the close of the war the secretary Of
the navy recommended him to the pres
ident for reward. After the war he was
steadily raised in rank, becoming COM
modore in 1895 and admiral early in
1898. He was in command of the North
Atlantic station when ordered to take
charge of the Brooklyn navy yard.

WITHOUT HIS SKIN.
Even i'm Death the Rattlesnake L,
Not Very Pleasant Object to
Look Upon.

A rattlesnake preserves something of
lis deadly look even when only his
bones show. Perhaps of our poisonous
snakes the best known are the rattlers,
says the Scientific American. The
northern rattlesnake (crotalus horri-
dus) has the widest geographical range,
being found in nearly every state of the
union from the Gulf of Mexico to north
ern New England and west to the Rocky
mountains. Its appearance is not very
pleasing, it having large fiat head,
brilliant eyes and between the eyes and
the nostril a deep pit. The horny APP
Eendage to the tail, which is termed tho
rattle and gives to the snake it's dis
tinctive name, consists of a number of
hollow dry rings ending in rounded
button, which rattle together wien the
tail is vibrated, which vibrating or rat

A Rom: nee of Science.

A single fine Russian sable skin is
worth from $500 to $3.50. 1t is a tiny
thing, about IA inches long by eight or
nine inches around. A bale of dressed
sable skins as it hangs in the furrier's
shop resembles bundle of long suede
gloves; they are hung up wrong side
out, and are all numbered and price
marked in indelible ink. The most per-
feet skins are tipped with silyery hairs,
which greatly increase their beauty.
The pelt, when dressed, is soft and fine,
while the fur is a lovely dark brown,
which shows blush tint. like that of
a ripe Concord grape, when the hair
is blown apart by the breath. The skins
are entire, being taken from the animal
without cutting except for tiny in
cision at the throat and on the inner
side of each delicate little foot, thus
leaving the head and claws intact.

Berne. In 1874 he returned to the prac-
tice of law, in which he continued for
IA years. In 1882 he was elected to the
Berne cantonal council, of which he re-
manned member for 10 years, besides
holding other important political Of
fees. Shortly after his election to the
cantonal council Mr.. Mueller was called
upon by the electors of his district to
represent them in the national council,
of which body he was president in 1889
and 1890.
During the anarchistic intrigues in
1855 Mr.. Mueller acted as attorney-gen-
eral for the confederation during the
Investigations, and from 1888 to 1895
was stadt presidast, or mayor, Of the
city of Berne. In the latter year he was
elected one of the seven members of the
bundesrath, or federal council, the
highest assembly of the confederation,
position he has filled ever since.
As head of the federal departments Of
justice and police and of military-po-
sitions equivalent, respectively to the
attorneys eneralship and secretaryship
OF war in the United States-at differ
ent times since his election to the bun
desrath, Mr.. Mueller has shown keen
judgment and fine sense of equity.
Last year he was made vice-president
of the federation, and his election this
year to the chief magistracy was fore
gone conclusion. He is we'll liked by
the Swiss people, both because of his
personality and by reason of the ex-
IRENE liberality of his views.

DID YOU EVER;

The REVIEW has been exhOrted by
its contemporary to lead a better life.
The REVIEW is accused of having said
unkind things about the Bulletin
and its editor. The editor of the Bull
etin stands like a tower of strength in
his manhood and righteousness. Both
are invulnerable and fear no attack.
The Bulletin has reached a high plane
of journalism and is above personals
ties, SO the insane, callow youth of
mediocre ability fresh from the slums"
will please be good and quit calling
names.
The above is the substance of a
lengthy editorial in This week 3 Bull
etiH, and it is too rich to be confined to
the narrow limits OF that papers circu-
lation. 1t is touching, it brings tears
of repentance to our eyes, we regret
that after the above generous, court
eous treatment we have ever been be-
trayed into calling the editor of the
Bulletin a ''clay pigeon We regret
oiAAo VIZ H0tO OtOl lullrO C(tltu
dignity of repose, under the influence
OF which the above editorial must have
been written.
We suppose that hereafter we are to
submit to these pet terms without at
tempting reply or a defense. We
must allow the Bulletin to slander one
after another of our business men,
some because of race, another because
he does not advertise; we must allow
our real estate men to be called
sharks" by this second edition of the
Bulletin without saying word.
Well-we won't. just because some
hired man, who comes to town to vent
the spleen of ambitious politicians upon
their neighbors, lifts up his hands IN
hypocricy, and, while abusing us, asks
in the name of all that is good that we
should not strike back. We say fatty
that we will not spike our guns until
the second hired man is laid away with
his predecessor. brother Barter, or shoY S
some deeds meet for repentance.

Where the Shah Sits.

The shah of Persia owns the most val
liable arm chair in the world. 1t is of
solid gold, inlaid with precious stones.
At one time some of the stones were
stolen from one of the legs of the chair,
and the indignant shah ordered the ar
rest of number of his servants and
held the keeper of the furniture re-
sponsible for the loss, with the intima-
ton that if the thief were not discov-
cred, the keeper would be beheaded.
The culprit, being eventually found,
was forthwith beheaded and his head
carried on a pole by the imperial body
guard through the streets of Teheran.

A Polyglot Parliament.

Switzerland differs from other coun-
tries in many things, and one of the
most remarkable is the way in which
its parliamentary debates are con
Quoted. A Swiss member of parlia-
ment can express himself in French,
German or Italian, and the privilege is
freely used. When the president of
the federal assembly speaks in German
his remarks are translated by secre-
tary in close proximity to him. All the
laws and resolutions, before being
voted upon, are drawn up in French,
German and Italian, and every official
report is published in these three Ian
guages.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT
Board Let's Two Important Contracts
this Week.
USUAL JANUARY WORK.
Mr.. Jepsen Reelected Chairman. nr. Cole
Gets Poor Farm Contract. Sigourney
r1an to Build Bridges

The board of supervisors has had a
busy session, Mr.. Jepsen has been re-
elected chairman and the new member
MIR. Gigax, of Buck Grove, has taken
his seat, making the board solidly
democratic. Mr.. Hink the retiring
member, made an enviable record and
the fact that the republican party will
for the next year have no representa-
ton in eur county government is TO be
greatly regretted.
The REVIEW is disposed to be fair
with the board so long as they are fair
with the people. We feel that there
was no occasion for raising the salary
of the county attorney and we hope the
board will have the good sense TO ac-
knowledge their mistake and place it at
the old figure. No false pride, or fear
of criticism should prevent them from
doing what is clearly in the line Of the
public good, and the REVIEW for one
will be glad to accord them full measure
of praise it they do the right thing in
this matter. The wise man she who
is willing to rectify his mistakes, and
persistence in acknowledged error is
but sign Of weakness.
The contract for the poor farm was
let with strict impartiality, and was
awarded to Mr.. Cole, of Denison. He
will move onto the farm in the spring.
The rate to be paid for the paupers'
board, etc, is $e25-quite saving
since the old days when the county paid
3d. 90 per week. Mr.. Eggers has made
good manager; he successful man
wherever placed, and is not feeling
badly because he did not get the con-
tract.
Mr. D. H. Storm, Of sigourney, was
the successful bidder for the bridge
building. His bid was 1926 per lineal
foot as against $3.7O paid last year.
The official proceedings for Monday
and tuesday will be found in another
column.

English breed, although on rare occa-

There are at present several old con-
victs in Fremantle (Westralia) Jail,
who, though their time has long ex-
pired, live on there. They give as their
reason that all the people they knew
in the old country must be long since
dead; so they prefer to remain where
SO much of their life has been spert.
The old fellows are allowed to go into
town, but must be back in time for
