Maxim was himself a ,dyspeptc, and being,
as he ALWAYS has been most profound
student in chemistry, his mind was natural
ly turned to the solving Of the great problem
OF digestion.
One day it thus happened that while con
Quoting experiments with peptonzed 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 soug hit for
protein was formed. With the true and I'M
failing insight of Maxim the experimenter
realized in a moment the Importance of his
discovery-the discovery Of Protein from
Pepsinized 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 edicine, because they under
stand the immense Importance of having
secured this protein.
1t will cure all cases OF dyspepsia by
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 a
sample box containing 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

ha huoson ana Samuel Maxim what they have done for
the Advancement of Modern Science.


Hiram and Hudson Maxim have distjn.
gulshed themselves, as all journal readers
know by their achieve ments in the inven-
ton of Maxim Rapid Fire Guns and Maxim
Aerial Torpedoes; but it has been impressed
, upon the writer, as ulou many others, that
| the achievements of these two men, great az
they are, are in the end not to be compared
with what their brother. Samuel Maxim of
Wayne, Me, has recently done. 1t may be
great and glorious, and it may exhibit great
talent, to be able to devise gun that will
slaughter ten thousand men in few min
utes. This feat has undoubtedly been ac-
complished by the Maxim Rapid Fire Gun
Whole navies may be destroyed by Hudson
Maxim's system of aerial torpedoes. We
all realize the unreasonable Importance of
these inventions and we fully understand
what power they have placed in the hands of
England; hut for all of this we realize, too
that the peaceful invention of spinning by
Arkwright was of greater benefit to the world
than was the invention of gunpowder. The
discovery of vaccination by Jenner was of
more value to the world than the introduc.
ton of modern artillery the former saves
men from death or deformity, the latter is
only useful in destroying manning man
kind. The inventions of Hiram and Hud-
son Maxim certainly will despatch men more
surely and quickly than any devices ever
before known; so on the other hand will
Samuel Maxim's discovery of Protein from
Pepsinzed Milk do more for curing men
than any discovery of like nature ever be-
fore made.
AS every one knows, it is a radically new
discovery for the cure OF Dyspepsia In
curing this hateful disease, Maxins
Protein works upon an entirely new pruci-
pie. The substance is itself entirely new to
medical science. The discovery was acct
dentaliy made by Mr.. Maxim while expert
meuting in his Wayne laboratory. Mr.

The Long-Suffering Teacher.

! "Of the long suffering teachers l can
hardly trust myself to speak; no nobler
army of martyrs ever marched to chamber
OF torture. Said one, 4 begin the weekly
reports Monday before the lessons are
reclted, else | should never have them
ready by Friday night.
II have seen teachers carry home piles
OF manuscript to be corrected, often spend
ing Saturday and Sunday at their desks.
Most dismal of tasks; no wonder the
professional reader of manuscripts goes
crazy Said another, 4 am SO tired | do
not 60 to church. Unless lie around and
rest on Sunday cannot be ready for Mon
day. 1t seems that to teach anything we
must know everything. We have to write
essays on subjects that do not touch our
studies, and there are the long meetings
and the Institutes.
What about the institutes?' | asked.
1t was at the close of one of the hottest
days Of our tropical summer.
"'We must meet and hear compositions
on basic thoughts, cosmic entities, the
concept of ideality; and Mr.. Nobody, from
Nowhere, reads 'Locksley Hail."
Cant you read 'Locksley Hall" for
yourself?'
Yes, if l had chance My back
ached so that could not listen, and some
times am so hurried feel as though l
should lose my wits.

teachers should stand during recitation.

A DisreputabIe Measure.

1t is question whether Maine can
afford for the sake of the fees to be paid
into her treasury to allow her territory to
be the stamping ground Of a lot of con-
Germs that are refused incorporation in
other States, and that ought to be denie d
the privilege everywhere. Only a few
years ago Maine passed a law designed to
be in line with legislation undertaken by
the general government to discourage
trusts, not to encourage them. Now up
comes Mr. Manley with a law inviting
trusts of every description to come to Maine
for incorporation, a law that can have but
one excuse for its existence, and that the
amount of fees that under it would find
their way into the State treasury
We will concede that Maine is poor
and that the income to be derived from
the fees paid in by giant corporations that
for righteousness sake ought not to be
formed at all would be very acceptable,
but can Maine afford to fatten her treas
ury at the expense of her self respect?
The State has already been brought into
disrepute by the liberality of her laws
touching the granting of charters to cor
porations that are not organized for legiti-
mate business purposes but for the oppor-
tunity that their promoters thereby gain
to gull out of their money people who do
not understand their wiles. Maine is al
ready becoming infamous as State whose
laws are disregarded. She should not
incur the further reproach of soliciting
unworthy corporations to come here tC
organize, simply for the revenue to be
derived from them. [Waterville Mail.

Close Time on Eels.

On petition of Geo NJ. Warren and
others relating to the taking of fish in
Bagaduce river or bay, Mr.. Arthur H..
Sargent of Sedgwick, a mem Der of the
House, appeared for the petitioners be
fore the committee on shore fl she1ies at
Augusta Feb. "a. He said petitioners are
all practical fishermen and have made a
profitable business. especially in catching
cells. They bring a good round price in
New York and Boston markets during the
holidays. This has been repeated for
years without the supply giving out.
Since they have been spearing cells a sup
ply cannot be obtained. Some parties
have eel traps which they use in Septem-
Der and October and cells do not have a
chance to enter the river and find win
ter home. We ask that the catching NAV
be prevented from the LIST of April to the
LIST November.

If there is anyone who still doubts that
1898 was a prosperous year. the following
concise statement, taken from the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press, of the record in the

which shape the destines of mankind
We are prone to assign as the chief rea-
sons for the war with Spain the cruel treat
ment of the Cubans and the destruction of
our battle ship in Havana Harbor. At
least the greater number of magazine and
newspaper articles called forth by the war
have discussed these causes as if they
were alone responsible. 1t is natural that
they should be most prominent, because
they were the immediate causes and af-
fected the United States directly But
the underlying causes of the war are as
old as the United States itself, and have
been steadily working towards the results
achieved in the battles of Manila and San
tiago for several centuries. In the Feb

In the first instalment of his notable his
tory Senator Lodge discusses ''The I'm

of Cuba and her influence in United

that is truly historical he presents the
history of Cuba from the first insurrec-
ton of the natives to the time the Maine
steamed into Havana Harbor, to meet her
fate few days later at the hands Of the
treacherous Spanards. Senator Lodge
states concisely the long account we have
had to settle with Spain, and shows re-
