SPICE OF LIFE IN MAINE.
Variety of Queer Sayings and Odd
Beings Recently Noted In the
Sunrise State.

One day lately the entire summer col
ony of the island of Monhegan turned
out and helped the fishermen dress
and salt so barrels of mackerel.
1t has been hard year for the fisher
men, for, on account of lack of bait and
food fishes, the cod fishery has been a
complete failure, and the unexpected
taking of the so barrels of mackerel
created great excitement along shore.
The fish were small and the weather
warm, so that they had to be dressed
and packed at once or they would spoil.
So many men had gone away to the
mainland looking for employment that
there were not enough left to care for
the mackerel. The summer boarders
volunteered their services, and men and
women were soon standing about the
dories and splitting tables, dressed in
their oldest clothes and working with
might and main to help the fishermen.
Well-known men and women of New
York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia
and Kansas City all piled the splitting
knife and the "gibbgr," and at sunset
the last mackerel had been saIted and
$500 saved for the fishermen.

A Princes Dilemma.

The German emperor likes to study
the characters Of his group of small
sons, and to that end has given them a
room next to the one used for business
purposes for himself. A certain great
scientific man, having on one occasion
an interview with the emperor, left his
hat in the adjoining vestibule. There
the little brothers discovered il; and
the crown prince, explaining to the
younger ones that papa" sometimes
sat on his opera hat and it came out all
right again, proceeded to give a prac-
tical illustration of this statement. to
the ruin Of the beaver. The emperor's
door suddenly opened, and papa" and
the professor appeared. Like manly
little fellow, the crown prince owned
up, apologized to the laughing profess
sor and went off to buy for the old gen
tleman a new hat with his small pocket
mOney.

NOTHING BUT BRAG.
Republicans Eejoicing Over tho Ef-
fects OF tho Magic DingIey Law.


fects OF tho Magic DingIey Law.
The appearance Of the September
statement OF our foreign commerce
by the treasury department statistic.
ian is made the occasion for another
hurrah for the great advance agent
Of prosperity and the party which
furnishes forth the show.
According to the statement the ex-
cess Of exports over imports of mer-
chandise during the nine months end
ing September Both was S317, 292, 4O2.
This is at out S76.6O0,OO0 less than the
excess Of merchandise exports during
the same time last year. But the adj
ministration economists hasten to as
sure us that this decrease in the fav-
orable balance is not due to any fall
ing off in merchandise exports, which,
In fact, have increased S33, 10000,
but to the increase in imports, which
aalounts to S11O,36O,0OO.
And curiously these economists
profess to be delighted at this proof
that the Dingley law has not decreas-
ed our imports. Why they should be
delighted at this is a mystery, seeing
that the avowed purpose of the Ding
ley law was to exclude foreign goods.
When Boosting of the miraculous
efficacy of the law why should they
also boast that it has failed in the ac-
compishment Of its chief purpose?
The truth obviously is that the
natural effect Of the law is to reduce
imports, and the fact that they have
increased only proves that the coun-
try in it's rapid recovery from panic
depression takes more foreign goods
in spite Of duties intended to be pro-
hibitory.
The monthly hurrah over the com.
MERGE reports reminds one of the al
most equally absurd hurrah over the
debt statements when Grant was
President. These statements showed
a considerable reduction of the debt
nearly every month, and the Republi-
can papers and orators all held them
aloft and shouted: See what our
President is doingl How our admin
istration Is paying the debt! The
people who were earning the money
by hard days work were given no
credit; all the glory went to the ad.
ministration.
So now Mckinley and his magic
tariff are given all the credit for
short crops IN Europe and Asia and
for the rain and sunshine and labor
which have enabled US to supply the
wants OF the rest Of the world at good
prices. Indeed, the men of today are
even more absurd in their worship of
parties and statutes than were the
men OF quarter Of century ago.
