THE QUEENS GOOD HEALTH.
Rules About Eating--Follow Your
Instincts

LONDON, May 26.-The Queen was 81
years old on Thursday, and is well and
hearty. In spite OF her great age it is
commonplace in medical circles that
her life Is even now a better one from
an insurance point OF view than that of
the Prince of Wales. II is true that she
looks very old and very bent. No one
who has seen her lately could think for
moment that she was younger than
her actual age. Yet her health is good,
her vitality is wonderful, and her mind
as keen and vigorous as ever OF course,
this is due to a great extent to her nat
urally splendid constitution. Until she
was shaken by the death of the prince
consort, permanent good health seemed
with the Queen to be q matter Of course
After that date she gave ear to the doc
tors. For many years she has lived &C
cording to- few simple rules laid down
for her by the late Sir William Jenner.
About these rules there is nothing elab-
crate. A simple and careful diet, regu-
larity and plenty of open-air life are the
chief essentials. These three rules the
Queen has observed strictly, the last one
indeed for a time sher ather overobserv-
ed. Practically no weather could prevent
her from taking her long drives in an
open carriage, and the royal doctors re-
ceived many q fright on her account AT
last, however, she received a fright her
self few years ago, and since then she
has been more careful.
The royal doctors, therefore, have dis
covered no great secret for the benefit of
their august patient. Sir Francis LAX
ing, one of the most eminent of them,
when asked for some rules of life which
would be conducive to longevity, answer
ed, do anything you like, but do moth
ing TO excess" Sir Samuel Wilks, an
other of the Queens physicians. says:
Every one has a natural tempera-
ment. Follow that and avoid excesses.
! That's all. a quack may tell you you
must eat an ounce of albumen. so much
starch, much water. and so on, and
| what should you do? Go and have nice
chop. The instincts of people are right

! carry me 20 bed. That was Sir william

| and what about exercise, then? In the
/ last three or four centuries we have done
/ better intellectual work than ever be.
J tea, coffee tobacco and alcohol. What
can you make of nat? is surprising
I Again [ say, follow your instincts"
/ Thus it would seem from the Queens
/ case that a strong WILL regular naults
and abstemious living are the roads to !
| strong old age.

PRICE oF MIX GOES UP.

The prics of milk was advanced to
seven cents a quart on EAIonday and in
some localities the price is eight cents.
The reasons given for the advance are:
First-The scarcity of hay has raised
the price of that commodity and CORES
pondingly high prices for common and
cotton seed meal make 1t imperative fol
the milk dealer to obtain more for the
milk he has to sell.
Second-The output of creamery butter
received from the Western creameries in
creases daily and the prices charged for
that article are so low that it is impossi-
BILE for the owners of .stock in the East
to make butter and sell it in competition
with the Western brand.
Third-As this is the season of the year
when COWS obtain little nourlshment in
the pastures, more grain has to be given
them and even then they will not give as
much milk as In the summer months.

sEBAGO SALMON WATERS.
By Charles Ross White.


Pure crystal founts where swallows dip,
Where wild-fowl wheel and sever,
Where deep within the Songo pool,
The King of Salmon gather.
They race from deeps of Songo pool,
They bend their bow and swim,
And tween the blue wave, and the sky,
They show one cleaning Tin.
Star flames. and meteors, they flash,
In sylph-like forms they sweep,
Like shooting stars they cIeave the wave,
And sparkle as they leap.
A higher marvel than the stars,
Within these deep worlds gather,
They swirl and flash and dart and
CLEAN,
In bright and stormy weather.

And the way we played the winning,
While northern lakes grim locked in Ice
The salmon reels are singing.

sidewalk work on Elm street, between

they laid new walks on Mayo street and
Franklin street. A new catch basin Is
being set on the corner OF Paris ant

The cement recently used in paving
work has proved so satisfactory that itl

is probable. 1t is found that when used

AT THE TRACK.

After an inspection of the hall, interest
naturally centers about the track some
distance off and situated in one OF Free
port most picturesque spots. The his
toric site presented yesterday most ami
mated appearance, and round about were
many spectators, in grand stand, open
field, etc., while long lines of carriage
were just behind the fence. The only
exhibits on the grounds were cattle and
poultry. These were not numerous, but
made up in quality what perhaps was
lacking in quantity. There were the
usual stands for fruit, pop corn, etc.,
and the most noteworthy sideshow was
the fat woman from Yarmouth who
weighs 1917 pounds at 81 years Of age
while as baby she tipped the scales at
only ~ pounds. She has a masculine
beard and chatted very pleasantly with
all who viewed her and asked them to
feel of her arm that they might be salts
fed that lit was all there in human flesh
and blood" A tent for a variety show
has been pitched but the talent yesterday
failed to appear.
There IS no Disgusting the fact that
after all is said the track events are the
big drawing card nowadays at our fall
fairs and when the bell was sounded for
the first race interest was keen. The
well known and fair starter from Bruins
wick, Isaiah r. Morrill,, soon after one
O'Clock climbed into the judges stand
and with him were Addison Buck of
Scarboro, Jerome Nichols of Lewiston,
DR.. G. II. Leighton of Westbrook who
oficiated as judges with G. P. GRAHAM
of Portland and N. W. Fogg of Freeport
for time-keepers. Two events were on
the card and good field of horses were
entered in the 2.5O class and the 2.29 class.
Not much time was lost in scoring and
the veterans who held the reins showed a
keen sporting instinct and treated each
other with fairness which won the admir-
alton Of the observers. The first heat in
the 2 80 class brought out the mettle of
Handsome Ben and Topeka who made
pretty race and came down the home
stretch neck and neck. There had been
good deal Of breaking for the horses
had not been steadied, notably so Fred
and at times 1t looked like a run
ming race in regular procession form. In
the second heat Huntoon held his fast
stopper right down to work and took the
heat. The animal continued in good
form for the rest of the afternoon
winning the next two heats and the
race. At the start for the third heat and
just as the horses had been given the
word "Go'' Ernestine created a sort of
hubbub and there was a mix up Of sui
kies. Matters, however, soon Strengthened
themselves out without Injury to any
one and the heat went on.
In the 229 class NelmaN had the field
at his mercy and while the race was
pretty one and worth looking at 1t was
quite evident to which horse the purse
was bound to go as the summary below
will show.

Freeport took her turn yesterday on the
round of annual fairs and was favored
with most glorious weather, just the kind
thesmanagers and the visitors would
have chosen had the matter been left to
them. There was a good sized attendance
and, OF course, the first place to inspect
was the town hall where the exhibits
were displayed. The hall never looked
prettier than it did yesterday. thanks to
the personal supervision Of B. Frank
Dsnnison in charge who was assisted by
a number Of ladies whose excellent taste
was manifest on every side.
Extending the whole length Of the
room, and in its center was table de-
voted to specimens of apples, and not
able collection 1t was, including over 100
separate exhibits which attracted a good
deal of attention.
One side of the hall was used for the
contributions from the ladies in the form
OF quilts, sofa pillows, fine crochet work,
ETC., and in this collection perhaps the
most noteworthy exhibits were the old
pieces of hand made lace which had been
in Freeport families since 1928 or 1880.
There were many other antiques. There
was ladies' hair comb which was more
than 1875 years old; little dress made in
1898; plates, tureens, ETC., which were in
existence before the eighteenth century
was ushered in. All these were very in
teresting features and it is hardly
necessary to say that the vegetable world
was represented with that array of
pumpkins, potatoes, braces OF corn, etc,
without which fair would be incom-
plete.
An exhibit of cut flowers and plants
by Lucy A Chandler merits special
mention and is quite in keeping with the
high standard which she has shown in
Lewiston for the past ten years, Home
trades materially help out in the appear
auce of the hall and the useful and
dainty articles of various kinds which
the dealers of Freeport have sent made
the showcases very attractive and besides
them Yarmouth and Pownal store keep
ers have lent a helping hand.

Down With the HOodlums.

The Age-Herald has no excuses to of- fer for the publication of facts concerning the disorder on the streets of Birmingham on Christmas eve. In it's news columns on Christmas morning was published a plain statement of facts as gathered by its reporters, which are borne out by the statements of leading citizens of all classes who endorse the publication.
 There is rough element in Birmingham like in all cities, and on such occasion liberty is made license of and disgraceful scenes are enacted. It is a crying shame that drunken hoodlums, black and white, male and female, are allowed to parade the streets and offer insults and violence to respectable people who have the right and the inclination to visit the business section.
 It is a mockery of the true spirit of Christmas, and the moral forces of the city should take steps to see that such scenes as occurred on Monday night are not re- peated.

Ship Subsidy Bill.

The new steal from the pockets of the helpless many. now that election day is passed is not one bit worse than the thou sand robberies concealed-eunningly con- cealed-in the Mckinley -Dingley tariff; but that fact does not lessen It's mendacity in the least. The two belong in one robber Hot being exactly alike in principle and in praetice-the robbery of the many for the benefit of the few who have secured 'pull' at Washington, chiefly through campaign subscription.
 The New York World is doing excellent tocratic robbery. It presents five new points against the bill. as follows: l. Does the bill compel more American sailors at better wages?
 It does not. On the contrary the ship owner may pocket the subsidy and hire foreign seamen at the lowest wages.
 2. Does the bill assure larger American cargoes?
 It does not. On the contrary, it makes it possible for shipowners to sail with empty vessels and still get the subsidy.
 3. Does the bill secure faster ships?
 It does not. On the contrary, 1t leaves the foreign mails as now; to be carried by the fast British and German ships.
 5. Does the bill provide for more ships?
 It does not. On the contrary, it makes 1t to the interest of the existing compan- ies to continue to combine, crush competi- tion and divide the subsidy among as few ships and shipowners as possible.
 What then, does the bill promise?
 Large bonuses to be added to the divl- dends of steamship companies, which are at present earning good profits without sub sides.
 Rotten and shameless as the bill is, Mark Hanna says the bill must be passed if he has to call an extra session of Congressto do it in. He has contracted with his campaign subscribers to deliver over to them $23O, ,OOo,- 900 of the money of the people, and he pro- poses to stand by his contract
