woman will break her heart because
man doesn't love her enough and the n

The only time woman ever does what
you think she is going to is when you

Dangers of Newspaper Borrowing

Here is the latest story of the man who
is too stiugy to take his home paper !:
IA man who was too economical to take
this paper sent his little boy to borrow
the copy taken by his neighbor. In his
haste the boy ran over a 81 stand of bees,
and il ten minutes looked like a warty
summer squash. His cries reached his
father, Who ran to his assistance, and fail
ing to notice barbed wire fence, ran into
that, breaking it down, emitting a handtal
of flesh from his anatomy, and running a
81 pair of pants. The old cow took ad
vantage of the gap in the fence, and got
into the cornfeld, and killed herself eat
ing green corn. Hearing the racket, the
wife ran, upset four gallon churn full of
rich cream into a basket of kittens, drown
ing the whole flock. Ia the hurry, she
dropped 81 set of false teeth. The baby,
left alone, crawled through the spill
ed milk and into the parlor, running a
brand new $50 carpet. During the excite
ment the eldest daughter ran away with
the hired man; the dog broke up eleven
setting hens, and the calves got out and
chewed the tails off four fine shirts

Elaine Death Rate Smaller.

DR.. A. G. Young of the State board of
health, quoting from the report on vital
statistics which is not yet published, says
a most favorable showing is made as to
the prevalence Of consumption in the
State.
He states that ''for the first time pull
monary tuberculosis is reduced to the
thiid place among the 10 most prominent
causes Of death, the first place being occu-
pied as before by that group of causes of
mortality designated brain disease,
''From 1892 to 1898 the number of
deaths from consumption has uninterrupt
eddy fallen. The number for each year
has been, respectively, 1852, 1929, ,2U2,
|. 1875, l, 1T2, LIPS, 1,021 Thus in that
short space of time the mortality from
this disease has been lowered one fourth,
the death rate per 10, 600 of population
has fallen from 20 to u. 4, The lowered
mortality means the saving of 331 lives
yearly, not to say anything of the diminu
ton in the States burden of sorrow, or
phanage and poverty
Hethinks the mortality can be reduced
to 800 annually.

Fishing in Machias Bay.

F. A. Morse, The fish dealer of West
kennebec, who has been in the business
since 1892, says the past winter was the
first during that time that cod fish could
be caught in Machias bay at all times when
the weather conditions we're suitable to
go out. He has sent a boat out at least
one day in each week during the past
four months and never far beyond Libby
Island, yet in every instance the crew
were rewarded with good catch of cod,
a number weighing twenty pounds and
upwards one weighing thirty-three
pounds. Mr.. Morse says that the oldest
fishermen here say that, heretofore, this
kind of fish was, never caught, save on
rare occasions, inside of deep water limits,
during the winter months. The catch one
day last week was 250 pounds, which was
not much above the average taken on other
occasions. [Machias Republican.

their fertile soil may send its productions

creased by s54, GOO, COO during the seven

went to Japan for the purpose of reporting

the workings of the gold standard in that
country, but somehow their report was

the gold standard has been of great adj

fact may accom-: for the failure Of the self
