tinction of resembling Admiral Dewey
1t is said that Hon. f. w. Plaisted of
Augusta, bears a striking resemblance
to him, especially as he appeared %
years ago. At all events. on the occa-
sion of the silver anniversary of St.
Omer Commandery recently. Col
Plaisted went to Watervile attired in
he full uniform of the order, and he
noticed on his way up that a man on
the train eyed him sharply. On arriv
ing at Waterville the traveller made
himself known, inquiring who Col
Plaisted was, remarking, II stood up
with Dewey when he was married. and
Mr.. Plaisted is an almost perfect

DIAMONDS ON TIME.
cases Where Diamonds Are Bought As a Form
Of investment.

Inc time has gone by when diamond
IS any Indication of opulence" said n
JeWelry drummer talking shop at his no
Tel. 1t perfectly astonishing how MANY
OF them are sold nowadays on the in
stalment plan to people of moderate
means They pay anywhere from so cents
up week. and when they finish paying
~ uiie 'hey are apt to begin on another.
The other day | was calling on a custom
er When he sold a small. off -colored dia
mona 10 Il man who signed 104 weekly
notes at % cents each. In nv opinion, il
was a good business transaction The
stone was not worth more than S25 and
was a kind difficult to dispose of. The
JeWeler will get So for it, ana the notes
were so worded that he really retained
title to the diamond until the last note
was paid. OF course, he knew his man
one might object that he had to wait a
long while for the last of his money; but.
on me other hand. he was getting some
of it every week. and ordinary accounts
with rich people often stand several
years.
In former times it was no unusual
thing for jewelers. to carry diamonds in
stock for years and years, and the money
tide up in that way was a serious item
by adopting the installment plan they
ind ready sale. and the returns are al.
most as prompt as they would be if the
bills were collected in lump sums The
practice has made gems common in
places where one would least expect to
find them, and many of the customers
look on an investment of that kind in
much the light of a savings bank
Il was talking not long ago to young
clerk in clothing store, and noticed that
he wore handsome two-carat solitaire
on his finger. He told me that he had
drawn a good salary for years, but had
never been able to save any money. and
at last somebody induced him to invest in
diamond. He had no trouble in making
the payments, and regarded the stone as
an available asset in case of emergency.
Minor theatrical folks proceed almost in !
variably on that principle. Whenever
they are filling good long engagement It
is safe to bet they are paying install :
ments on just as many diamonds as they
can possibly take care of. They argue
that the plan is better than a savings
bank because they have the use and ben
eft of the jewelry while they are maxim :
the payments. AS soon they strine a
piece of bad luck the things are promptly
they have been selected with any degree
of judgment it is easy to borrow 60 or 40
per cent of their face value

Two Men in Trouble Caused by One
Moose.
Travelling Libraries Opening a New Era in
The Maine Library World.

The game department has captured an
other man from out of the State who
has been breaking the laws of Marie. lie
was caught so handily that he will have
to settle and with him will be punished a
guide named Caldwell Mason. Warden
Neal was on duty in the Bangor station
last Tuesday night. and among other
things that came to his attention was the
badly decomp0sed carcass of a bull
moose. True, the moose season was open
but the condition Of this animal was such
that there was no doubt he had been shot
a long time consequently in open season
The animal was billed to Alfred Muller
of Brooklyn, y. Y. and little later
Warden Neal had the pleasure Of meet :
ing the owner and telling him he. must
stay while in Maine to settle the case.
for there was certainly evidence enough
to hold him.
Warden Neal sent to Chairman Carleton
who went over to Bangor, "Wednesday
night. and saw Mr.. Muller. This latter
gentleman is the proprietor of the COlum
bian Palace oyster and chop House on
Columbia street in Brooklyn. He said he
shot the moose. Monday morning. near

in the cross questioning Mr. Carleton

he found without a doubt that the animal

fair telling just how it happened. He
stated that he had not killed the moose
at all but purchased the animal for $40
of a guide named Caldwell Mason with
whom he had been hunting.
Mr.. Carleton held Mr.. Muller as a wit
ness and sent warden after Mason -
arrest him for killing a moose in close
time and also for selling one to be trans
ported outside the State. This is a double
offence Of which he was guilty and 1t is
likely to cost him quite sum or several
months in Jail. 1t is believed Mason
thought the weather would be colder and
he shot the moose some time ago to sell
to some hunter The warm weather
worked havoc on his game SO that ne de
rided il best to sell for the small sum and
get the animal off his hands.
Muller will have to settle for having the
game in his possession and Mason will
also be made TO suffer.

This travelling library system has

greatest change of anything In years. 1t
is seemingly waking the people Of the
State to their opportunities and Will be
productive of much good
He says that already he has had sew
eral communications from people regard
ing the formation of new libraries. 1t
may be possible that it will cause the
formation Of libraries in many OF the
towns. If this is so then the travelling
libraries will have worked a great change
in the condition Of the State. 1t viii be
remembered that every town of less than
1900 inhabitants that raises the sum of
500 for a free public library in its town
will have half that sum in books present
ed it by the State All towns of over
that number of inhabitants will receive
10 per cent from the State of the amount
they raise for the purpose.
1t is the leading people, SO Mr.. Carver
saws who are awakening to the npportu
nitv they have and the travelling library
has called their attention to it. The cal
for libraries is good though the demand
for particulars far exceeds the real orders
for the libraries.

Ranra For TnrkeYa.

The turkey is fowl that has been
least time domesticated by man. The
Indians never tried to tame them, and
it is considerably less than 800 years
since any attempt was made to domes'
ticate this bird. One result Of the
wild nature of the turkey is that IL
will not bear to be confined. Even
the domestic hen will not be so good
a mother to the turkeys in their later
stages as the turkey hen. She will
take long iaunts in the fields catching
grasshoppers and other insects, and
when frost loosens the beechnuts on
the trees, the turkey hen will take her
brood to the woods and live on what
was in their wild state the main feed
of the turkey during winter. A beech
nut diet gives the turkey better
flavor than any other food. Buck
wheat, which is an angular grain like
the beechnut, is, perhaps, the next
best grain for turkeys, but it lacks the
oil with which the beechnut abounds.
When turkeys are put up to fatten,
which is the only time they should be
confined, il is worth while to mix n
few beechnuts with their feed. This
will keep the other food from caking
in their crops, and enable the turkeys
to fatten faster, besides improving the
flavor of their flesh. To have good
favored meat the turkeys must be
kept from indigestion, which always
creates fever. For this reason the fat
tening of turkeys must usually be
completed in ten days to two weeks
after they have been confined in dark
place where they can do nothing but
eat.
