AUGUSTA LOCALS.
NEXT YEARS FESTIVAL.
A Statement Issued by the Eastern Maine
Festival Association.

The Eastern Maine Festival Association
in Bangor, has decided to take definite ac
ton at once with regard to the future OF
the concerts and TO the business basis Oh
which. if they are to be continued. they
shall be carried on; to this end the corn
mittec has issued statement of the case
TO the people of the eastern part Of the
State.
The statement covers the history of the
festival, speaking in complimentary terms
Of what il has done for the State and its
people and referring warmly to the ar
lists who have been brought here by Nj.
Chapman. OF Mr.. Chapman it says, in
part:
Mr.. Chapman has nobly done his part;
he has shown us what is possible, he
has shown us of what We are capable,
and this at great sacrifice to himself,
physical and financial.
This is no idle talk We know that I n
the past year Mr.. Chapman has given his
services, that he has not received one
cent of salary for his work in eastern
Maine and not only that, but that he Is
considerably out of pocket; he has Shout
dered the entire responsibility in every
direction,-work, money, everything, and
TINS Is the rtSult,-a year ctdStleSS,
nerve -exhausting work and at the end he
has had the pleasure of meeting the
financial deficit himself"
Then the statement says:
'Of course, this cannot go on. 1t Is now
for US to take up the business and imam
cial burden and leave Mr.. Chapman free
10 attend to the artistic. This arrange
ment will be satisfactory to Mr.. Chap
man and no other will, so that unless We
do our duty this grand work that he ha7
50 nobly started must fall to the ground
This is not simply for Bangor. 1t is I
work in which every resident of eastern
Maine is equally interested and the mu
steal education which is one grand bene
fit of this movement is equally at the dis
pOsal of all.
The committee closes by urging singers
to join the choruscs and asks those who
can afford il to take tickets for the fes-
tival season tickets, and announce this
fact to their local committees as early as
possible 1t is also hoped to raise guar
antee fund to be used in case there is q
deficiency and not otherwise.

A New orleans Tramp Holds tho Record
 for Ease

for Ease.
 At about noon fat and healthy looking, but phenomenany tattered. tramp sat furtiyely dozlng on bench in Lafayette square, says the New Or leans Times-D Democrat. The nearby tablet of the goedetic survey an- nounced that ne was in exactly latl- tude 20 degrees 56 minutes 59 seconds and longitude 20 degrees 4 minutes 9 seconds, but the fact disturbed him not. Leaning back luxurlously, he ap- peared to be bursting from every seam of his dilapidated attire, and as he passed in and out of cat maps he nodded solemnyl like porcelain man. darin, His legs were crossed and his suspended foot was incased in shoe from which most of the forward por- tion of the sole was missing, exposing his bare and dirty toes from below, 1t was held to his foot by string tied around his instep; in fact, he was lit- erally "on his uppeTs," a circumstance which bothered him as little as the goedetic tablet Presently, in one uf his waking intervals, he espied half- smoked cigar stump lying on the pave ment about yard from the bench. For a moment lie surveyed 1t calmly, dispassionately, almost iudicially. Then he executed q remarkable strat- egie movement Without stirring the upper portion of his body, he slowly uncrossed his legs, lowered his foot accurately and deliberately over the treasure trove, gripped it in convul- sive clutch of his toes, reversed the motion, raised his foot, carrying with it the stump. crossed his legs, lan- guidly stretched forth his hand and secured his prize, A gouty clubman. who was out for constitutional and who had watched the proceeding from another bench, was lost in admiration. Why the man is a wonder!" he ex- claimed to friend There is some thing magnificent, almost supernatural in such laziness as that! He has ele- vated it to an art to a-but, hold, t would be a thousand pities if he were disturbed for match. I must offer him one!" The gouty clubman arose with difficulty, hobbed down the walk. and, drawing a silver mateh-ease from his pocket. extended it with polite bow. The tramp manifested no sur prise, but slowly extracted match and ignited the stump Tanks lie murmured. and closed his eyes. He is superb!" said the clubman when he reioined his friend, he is a record breaker! He is the laziest man in the world!"

COLLEGES TURN OUT spiNsTERs
sducatod Girls Think Longor and Look
 on Marriage Seriously.

on Marriage Seriously.
 Investigators who have been study ing the college girl versus marriage make the extraordinary assertion that the percentage of marriages among women collegians falls far below that of the less highly educated woman, says the New York Mail and Express. For example, take one college-Bryn Mawr-and the classes of '89 and '9i for Illustration Class S9-Pen years cut of school, averaging now 32-33 years of age; twenty-six members. eleven married, two studied three years postgraduate to take the degree of Ph. D. Neither of these has mar ried. Class 94-Five years out of school, averaging now 27-28 years of age; twenty in class; three have mar rled; three studied one year extra to take degree Of A. M, one stayed three years to take Ph. D. Of seventy eight women who have held fellowships ten have married, or 13 per ~Snt; of 16l graduates thirty-nine have married, or A per cent; of 225 girls who did not stay to take their degrees thirty-eight have married, or IT per cent; of 234 A. B s, thirty-two married, or fl per cent. Very few women will agree, however, with the conclusions of the Rev. Dr. F. Winchester Donald, made public in speech delivered at Abbott academy, Andover, that the methods of education followed in nearly all the Iemale colleges make pupils unwom- anly and too erudite." They may make them critical and develop their dis cernment and discretion, two attrib- utes which women greatly need to get along in the world, whether married or single, but in the sensible words of one undergraduate is found the true solution of the problem. She says:
 Graduates leave college at the age of 2l or 22, and are less likely to rush into marriage. They think longer and look at maternity more seriously. While 1 must admit that there Is a great difference in the percentage of married women who graduate com pared to those who do not, I do not think that girls eruditlon seares Q young man or creates desire to re- main single, but makes woman more sensible and restrains her from rush ing unheedingly into wedlock"
 Some people do business just like elockwork-tick, tick.

A Duehess Who Visits Prisons

Perhaps the woman who knows the most about women convicts in Eng fish prisons is Adeline, Duchess of Bedford. Her grace holds special per mission from the home secretary to visit the convict prisons in which women are inearcerated for longer pc riods than two years, and very ex- eellent use has she made of the great trust reposed in her. With her col league, Lady Battersea, she does every thing in her power to give the pris- oners, upon their discharge, a fresh start under improved conditions. The duchess is a handsome woman ln the prime of life, and when speaking rom the platform her charming voice IS curiously like that of her sister, Lady Henry Somerset.

Jones And The Madison Suckers.

We learn from Madison that Jones
OF Waukesha has come to consider
himself great mogul in legislation,
and thinks that whatever bill he favors
will pass, and whatever bill he dis
likes must be defeated. Jones tried
his hand yesterday at the McGillivray
bill and disastrously failed. He not
only made speech against the bill
but used his utmost efforts to kill it.
Nevertheless il was carried and the
mogul was voted down. The fate OF
Jones should be monition to politl-
clans who are afflicted with the big
head. McGillivray's bill is obviously
designed to prevent the Madison
suckers from grabbing an unjustly
large share of the state patronage.
Jones came at once 70 the defense Of
the suckers, for which we believe his
Waukesha constituents will not thank
him Evening Wisconsin.

F. b. R., of Fennimore, asks:

How can we rid our poultry houses of the
miserable lice and mites:
If your houses are reasonably tight
you can do it with sulphur. Drive
the fowls all out and take in an old
iron kettle half full of live Goals.
Throw on a good big handful of sui
phur, skip out and shut the door.
When the fumes have died down,
throw on another handful. If you
do this work thoroughly you will soon
reduce the amount of insects so that
by spraying with a good strong solu-
ton of carbolic acid you have them
routed. They have a commercial
lice plant which works death and
destruction to insects, but the ''stuff''
smells so loud that the cure is nearly
as bad as the disease.

c. ". B.. Lancaster, asks:

What causes "scaley leg and how do you
cure it:
.'Scaley leg" is rough. unsightly
appearance when each scale is raised
up and makes very rough surfsee.
1t is caused by tiny insect living
and multiplying under the scales of
the fowls legs. This disease is not
only unsightly but decidedly detri-
mental to the health of the fowls.
Wash the legs clean with warm water,
using plenty of soap. Wipe them dry,
then annoint with an ointment made
OF lard ana sulphur. Two applica-
tions well applied will cure the worst
case. Where you don't care for the
color of the leg you can use kerosene
oil. Fill gallon dish half full of
water, turn in pint of the oil and
dip the fowls legs into it two or three
times. This kills the insects. but
turns the legs to a dirty straw color.

NJ. S. Trowbridge, Lancaster, says

| see in one of your articles you say hens
well cared tor and properly fed ought to lay
every other day during the winter months.
! would say our hens have been fed bran in
the morning some cut bone during the day
and all the corn they would eat at night.
Yet the 80 or go hens have laid only from 10
IS eggs a day. What is the matters
In the first place the ''hens" should
be well developed pullets before the
cold weather begins-"fin finished is
the term breeders use. Second-The
feed is another consideration. Some
thing from which they can grow eggs.
Your bran and cut bone was all right
a. far as it goes. The egg is .com-
posed largely of albumen, and shrunk
wheat contains much of that sub
stance. Therefore if wheat is fed in
connection with milk, water and
scraps, or bits of lean meat, with an
occasional of whole corn. the eggs
will grow and the hen must either lay
or die. Third-The proper "condi-
ton" is another large factor Too
many in pen is one trouble. Good
health is another factor, and if there
Is remains OF Roup, or too many lice,
the hens will not do well.
