HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

1" To look beautiful is duty which the
fair sex owes both to themselves and
their friends, said one of the wise men
of modern times, and with the discover
les of modern scientists there is no good
reason why they shouldn't perform that
duty. Every one should do all in his or
her power to supplement nature in adorn-
ing the person, and while it is true that
a fine complexion is not given to all, yet
the work of nature, not always beaut-
full, may be improved upon in many ways.
The many thousands who have been bene-
flied by Dr. 7. f. Gouraud's Oriental
Cream, or Magical Beautifier, appreciate
this, and know it's value as cosmetic
They know that a skin that is freckled,
tanned, pimpled or mothpatched can
be made like the new born babes. 1t has
been recommended by physicians for those
who will use toilet preparations, and the
Board of Health has declared it free from
all injurious properties. All druggists
and fancy goods stores appreciate its
value and keep it for sale. The Mail

the following correction:

a practical joker Tuesday night an in

nerve, an abundant lack OF common sense
and total disregard for the truth.

burst in tonight's meeting. The prin-
cipal objections urged, and they are
such as now promise to be fatal to the
scheme, are: First, that the location
is not good one for the purpose de-
sired; second, that the fact that an
auditorium here is in the nature of a
public enterprise should not make it
necessary to pay more than fair
price for the ground on which it is to

Barges for the Lime Trade.

The committee on transportation of the
Rockland- Rock port Lime company met in
Portland Feb. oath at the Union Mutual
building. 1t was decided to proceed at once
upon the construction of a fleet of six iron
barges and an ocean going IRON tug. These
barges will be built on the Delaware river,
and will be specially adapted for the purpose
of carrying lime from Rockand and Rock
port to the New York market and freighting
back coal and general merchandise. Each
barge will have carrying capacity of 10000
barrels of lime, and the estimated cost of
the entire fleet is about $500
There is a lime war on in dead earnest be-
tween the Rockland- -Rockport Lime Co. and
the other manufacturers who buy rock from
their quarries Recently the former com
pany made a sweeping reduction in the price
of lime to the New York market and
the new barges and the tug are to be con-
structed to handle the increasing business.
1t is expected that these barges will be
utilized in the Bangor coal trade. The lime
business of Rockland, Camden and Rock
port has been carried on in fleet of the
smartest and handsomest little schooners
ever built, but now it appears that they are
to be crowded out by the barges.
The directors of the Lime Rock railroad
met in Portland Feb oath at the Office of
Fred E. Richards. The following officers
were elected: President, F. E. Richards
Secretary, S. c. Perry; Treasurer, Joseph
