A Poll Tax Case.

The case of James Head of Phipsburg,
who has been committed to Jail for re-
fusing to pay his poll tax, is one of
interest not only to Phipsburg people
but to citizens of other towns as we'll
The law authorizes the tax collector to
take and sell property of delinquent
or send him to Jail, and this without
going before any magistrate. Such a
law is proving help to town collectors
in enforcing payment. There may be
cases where a party is unfortunate and
it would be judicious for the officers of
a town to abate his taxes, but for him
who never has an idea of paying, and
who goes cumming his way all through
life, it is good. we believe, that there are
ways to make him pay or take the con-
sequences. The Enterprise always
stands for what is fair, and it never is
fair for one set of men to pay all the
taxes and bear all the public burdens
while another set of men expect to
evade their share and succeed i'll doing
SO to an extent We know nothing
about this individual case, but if Head
can pay and won't, the collectors doing
his just duty in the course pursued,
and all who honestly pay will stand by
him. Bath Enterprise.

Bread Making at the Paris Exposition.

Among all the exhibits of bread and
bread making at the Paris Exposition
the one which interested me most was
a system of milling and baking com
bined. This system has a double pur-
pose a. to make the flour more palata-
bic and more nutritious than that made
by the ordinary roller mill: and = to
make it Immediately before baking. 50 as
to secure for the loaf a flour which was
absolutely fresh. 1t is we'll known that
all food substances when ground to a
fine powder have tendency to become
oXidized. rs is the case with coffee,
which is best when freshly roasted and
freshly ground so it is with cereal
flour, which is never so aromatic, so
palatable, OF so nutritious as at the
moment when it is first made.
The SchWeitZer system of milling and
blead-making secures the two points
mentioned above. In Paris a mill and
an attached bakery ON a somewhat
larger scale illustrated the method
which is employed in supplying bread
to a populOus community. Another i'll
stallation was form of apparatus
adapted for use on a farm or in a small
community. SO perfect IS the milling
system employed that the smallest mill,
intended forus on farm, and driven
by the hand, as a coffee mill would be
run, makes flour identical i'll compost
ton with that made by the largest
machine. The SchwetZer system, in
regard to the milling operations, is
return to the old system of millstones
with the exception that corrugated
steel grinders take the place of the mill
stones of the olden days, These grind
ers are so accurately adjusted as to ad-
nit of the making of the finest flour
while avoiding actual contact OF the
two grinding surfaces. The simplicity
of the apparatus, its cheapness. and the
ease with which it can be installed
commend this system particularly for
domestic use and for the supply of vii
lagos and small communities. Never
theess, it is capable of being operated
on an extensive scale, as is demonst rat
ed by the large establishment at La
Nillette, Paris, where more than 100
600 pounds of bread are made per day
from flour not more than twenty-four
hours old. II. ". Wiley in the Novem-

Ger few in Milbridge.

The curfew law, which has been in
operation since last spring, is attended
with satisfactory results and in most
instances there has been manifest
disposition among parents and guardi-
ans to aid the law with their support
Consequently the streets and loating
places have been remarkably free from
children and youths of the age pre-
scribed in the ordinance. By the terms
of the ordinance, after Oct. 31st, until
April following, children are not al
lowed to roam the streets at will OF con-
gregate at the loafng places alone. The
curfew bell, which has heretofore been
the signal for those of unlawful age to
absent themselves from the streets, will
be dispensed with after Nov. 18th, and
an officer will be appointed to see that
the ordinance is observed. Narragua-

Aunt Salome's" Centennial.

We recently published, from the pen
OF Capt. E. A. Richardson, an interest
ing account of the observance of the
Tooth birthday of Mrs Salome Sellers of
Sunset, Deer Isle. The following addi-
tional particulars are from the Deer
Isle Messenger:
Mrs.. Sellers, who was the daughter of
Edmund and Deborah (Cushman) Sylves-
ter, was born on the farm now owned
by Capt. George Knowlton, and was the
youngest of six children who lived to
grow to a good age. Her father moved
here from Marshfield, Mass, about ! 7S9,
building first the log house in which she
was born, and a few years later the
frame house in which she grew up and
which was torn down to give place to
Mr.. knowlton's present home. Their
nearest neighbors then were the family
of Mr.. Samuel Webb, who lived on the
farm still occupied by his descendants.
She can remember that part of the Is
land when there were no roads other
than bride paths, or a cart-road where
sufficient use had made one, and she re.
membered riding, as little child, to the
Congregational church at the North
West HarbOr in her fathers arms on
horseback, while her mother sat behind
him on a pillion. The first schools to
which she went-a summer and winter
term of two or three weeks each-were
kept in any dwelling house which could
spare room large enough, and her first
teacher was Miss Betty Bryant. When
she was about twelve years old frame
school house was built on Mill Hill, at
South Deer Isle, to which she must
walk mile and half, and in winter
has sat all day with her clothes freezing
about her feet. The teachers were gen
| orally women with the education COM
| mon to them in those days, and it may
interest our Normal graduates to know
| that the pay was usually seventy-tive
| cents per week. She can remember the
Embargo days of the war of 1872
and paying seventy-tive cents yard for
cotton which we of to-day would not
| buy at any price. Tallow dips were

seal was killed for its oil, and matches

not, one must be kindled by the flint
| and steel and finder: or. if the family
did not have that, they must send one
OF them to the nearest neighbor to beg
a few Goals While the rest waited shiv-
eringly for their warmth and their
| breakfast.
Shortly before she was thirty years
Old she went to NeWburyport for a visit
and there saw the first steamboat that
came to that port, and heard the first
factory that was built there discussed
as a venture. There were no regular
mails. letters being sent by whomsoever

istence then. Their clothes We're of

AN ARMY STORY.
How a Pet Coon Was Used TO Good Purpose.

How a Pet Coon Was Used TO Good Purpose.
1t happened in the early sixties, when
Mr.. Charles A. Anderson was a member
of the old thirteenth Maine and with
his comrades was doing garrison duty
in Fort Phillips on the Mississippi
Among them was Isl Ladd. a Portland
boy, who spent every cent he could get
hold OF for Injuries that We're a little
better than ordinary army rations. One
day "Laddie,' as he was called, cooked a
lot OF mackerel and left them on high
shelf in the barracks while he stepped
outside for a moment.
This was AndersOn's opportunity
The mackerel looked good and smelled
good, and he wanted to see if they would
taste good. In less than five minutes,
with little assistance from hungry
comrade, he had eaten them every one
and was prepared to pronounce them
all right. Then the question of a settle
ment occurred to him. He knew ''Ladd-
lie" would be provoked at the loss of his
fish, and that his wrath would be visited
upon the culprits who had eaten them.
At this juncture a pet coon, belonging
to member of the company, appeared
providentially on the scene. Anderson
hailed the animal as his deliverer He
also caught him by the slack of the neck
and elevated him to the high shelf,
where he began licking the empty plate
which had been robbed of it's mackerel.
The coon was hard at it when ''Laddie"
returned. Naturally supposng that
the creature had eaten the fish, the
angry soldier grabbed him and was
about to reduce him to skinful of blood
and bones, when the owner of the ami
NAL interfered, and put up fight that
kept ''Laddie" busy for some moments
Meanwhile, the two sinners who were
responsible for the whole business said
nothing, but just stood around watching
the fight and picking their teeth with
fish bones. Westbrook Gazette.

Not the least valuable result of the
ecumenical conference will be a lifting
up or at least a tightening of the fog of
compliment ignorance with which too
many among us have regarded the
great bodies of evangelical Christians
SO far as they have found occasion to
regard them at all. This attitude Is
unfortunate. Its unconscious super
ciliousness no doubt attracts to our
churches some social asplrants, but 1t
is a source of widespread and not IN
justified irritation and alienation from
the church. The attitude of aloofness
that 1t has fostered has been a great
injury to the work that we have to do
in the Christian world. No one could
have attended the sessions of this con-
ference, no one could even have read
attentively the reports of them, and
still believe that the solar system re-
volved around the weather vane on
his parish spire. 1t was plain that
here there was neither Greek, bar
barian nor Scythian, but Christ was all
and in all.-Churchman.
