MEN OF THE MAINE COAST.
Customs of the Farmers aud the
Shippers Who Go "Chancingw
for Wealth.

They are right at the foot of March
hilr' long coast.
Up in the interior the farmers will
now commence TO say that it's between
hay and grass. But the coast jewellers
refer soulfully to "March hill" This,
says the Lewiston Journal, is the time
when the funds for the work of last
season are nearly exhausted and be-
fore the regular fishing season has
commenced. The -four barrel is low.
In some houses the good wife is already
playing tattoo on the bottom of the
barrel trying to pound another setting
of dough out of the cracks and the
seams. From now on flour will come
into the household in paper bags until
the treasury shall become replenished.
The man of the house is most likely
"goin' chancin'" at this season. He
takes his little dory and rows from,
point and harbor to harbor and point
where fishing boats are owned, trying
to "git chance to go to the Banks"
That is goin' chancin'. Sometimes it
is mighty discouraging work. Some
shippers are cross and don't want to
make much of a divvy - many have
their crews all picked out.
There is one thing about chancin'
that isn't half bad. Most of the skip
pers, even if they do not hire, will ask
the CHANGER to haul up and have u
snack, If said CHANGER happens along
about meal time-and If the CHANGER
doesn't arrange his visits in that way
he isn't "onto his job" that's all.
The shippers wife may not like it
first rate, and may make audible COM
ments on the poor mis'able critters
that come for grub" But the poor crit
tiers are not at all abashed by little
setbacks from the housewives tongue.

SOME LAWYERS CARDS.
The Striving for Novelty Seems 10
lie Increasing Among Lee
gal Luminaries.

The striving for novelty in lawyers
cards seems to be on the increase.
From all over the country specimens
have come to us, many of which we
have not space to notice, says Law
Notes. A Colorado attorney contents
himself with this terse aphorism:
"The Race Is to the Swift, the Devil
Take the Hindmost." A legal giant Of
Detroit, Ia, announces that he holds
"the best diploma ever issued by the
Crawford county normal institute"
and, while he is fully equipped to
handle anything pertaining to the
law, feels that insurance is his fort"
He also represents "New York
nursery company" An eminent law
yer of Denver, Col, has this legend on
the back of his card,
Bohemian Salve-For the justly
celebrated, pure Bohemian salve, that
has cured some of the most obstinate
cases of erysipelas, blood poisoning,
sore eyes, lumbago, etc, call on the
sole manufacturer, William Wise, at
his Office or residence"
The finest thing of the sort from a
literary standpoint, that has come un-
der our observation, is the following
which is taken from the card of law
yer of st. Johns, Mich:
"My creed: do not keep the ala
baster boxes of your love and tender
ness sealed up until your friends are
dead Fill their lives with sweetness.
Speak approving, cheering words,
while their ears can hear them and
while their hearts can be thrilled and
made happier by them; the kind
things you mean to say when they are
gone say before they go. The flowers
you mean to send for their collins send
to brighten and sweeten their homes
before they leave them. If my friends
have alabaster boxes laid away, full of
fragrant perfumes of sympathy and
affection, which they intend to break
over my dead body, l would rather
they would bring them out in my
weary and troubled hours and open
them, that may be refreshed and
cheered by them when l need them.
| would rather have plain coffin
without flower, funeral without n
eulogy, than life without the sweet
ness and love of sympathy. Post-mor-
tenn kindness does not cheer the
troubled spirit. Flowers on the cof-
fin cast no fragrance backward over
life's weary way."

NUMBER 20.
A RED DIAMOND.
one In the Royal Regalia OF "ussia
That Is valued at
$4,000. .

Only five years ago the largest
stone known to the history OF jewels
was found in washing" the "blue
ground" taken from the Jagersfontein
mine in the Orange Free state, late
ly visited by the brigade OF guards
in the line of their advance 10 was
blue-white in color, and weighed in
the rough 900 carats, but it had to be
cut into two separate stones Tor the
market The wonderful processes of
nature had crystallized 1t into two
oval figures, connected by a narrow
band. As yet, it is said that no pur-
chaser has been found for so costly
n curiosity. The biggest mounted d.
almond in the world is the Orlof, set
in the scepter of the car of Russia.
1t is shaped like half of a pigeons
egg. 1t weighs 1914 carats, while the
Koh-i-Nur, OF her majesty, goes but
to 100. One Of the finest diamonds
in Asia, that taken. by Abbas Mira
at Khorassan in 1882, Is of 1872 carats,
and was long used by n Persian peas
ant as q flint with which TO strike
fire on his finder box. The Per-
sian name for the diamond is "al-
mas" Blue, yellow and black dia-
monds are fairly common, but a red
stone is very rare. That of ten car.
ats in the Russian regalia cost $751;
600. Don't drop your diamonds, wom-
en-, on a hard place simply because
they are called in Greek "unbreak.
able" They will split with tragic
certainty il struck at the angle of
their natural cleavage, says the Lon
don Telegraph.
The largest ruby possessed by any
owner is that which Gustavus of
Sweden gave to the empress of Rus
STA. 1t is as big as a bantam's egg.
Australia is greatest in the way OF
Jewels with her opals, to-day outdo-
ing even Hungary and Mexico in
those lovely stones.
If you make a ruby hot it becomes
green, but goes back again presently
TO its own color.

HE WAS GOING.
But the Smart Crowd Wns Sure IL
Knew Just What Was the
Matter.

1t was one-horse wagon loaded
with boxes and barrels, and the driver
suddenly turned in to the curb and
got down and stood off a few feet and
looked earnestly at the horse, says the
Boston Globe. Four or five pedestrians
came to halt, and one of them prompt.
ly called out:
"That horse has got chill, and you
ought to unhitch him!"
"It's a case of the bots!" added sec
ond.

The four or five pedestrians grew Ia
five or ten and ten to twenty or thirty
Hes balky, eh?" queried fat man
as he forced his way into the crowd.
"Holler in his earl" shouted a boy
who was up on balky horses.
"All you fellers git hold and push
the wagon!" commanded citizen, who
appeared to be born leader of men.
The crowd grew to 50, so, 100, and
the street was blocked. Men examined
the wheels on the wagon, the feet OF
the horse and the harness. The driver
stood there with lines and whip in
hand, but said nothing and made nc
move until policeman forced his way
into the crowd and excitedly asked;
Nov, then, what's all this ,about1
What's the matter here?"
"Nuthin'," was the calm reply

"Naw."

"Naw."
Then why don't you go onT
