A THUMPING BIG MOOSE.
The Stories Told by Those Who Have
Seen Him.

Seen Him.
The enormous moose that has been
| the wonder Of all sportsmen and the
! terror of all the superstitious woods
| men Of northern Maine since 1891 has
| again been seen, and this time under
| ever before. A bicyclist came close to
| the monster In the road between Sher-
man and Macahoo, and was Obliged to
abandon his wheel and climb a tree
| for safety After carefully examining
the bicycle. the moose trotted away
into the woods, while the wheelnan
sat perched high In the tree and had a
nearby view of the fabulous animal
that for nine years has been roaming
the Maine woods a terror to every hu-
man being that ever got within sight OF
him,
Every story that comes from the
north woods concerning this moose
makes him a little bigger than before
and many people profess not to believe
In the startling statements of his size,
but from reports brought TO Bangor by
reliable men, not given to exagseratlng
the truth, it Is certain that no moose
ever killed in this state, or so far as
known, anywhere else. has approached
in stature or weight, much less in
spread Of antlers this Spectre moose
Of Lobster Lake" He is called "the
spectre moose" because of the weird
appearance which he presents at night,
his color being a dirty gray
1t was in 1891 that this moose was
first seen IN Maine, by Clarence Duffy
of O1d-Lobster Lake. Duffy did not
get near enough to the monster for a
shot, but he could see him plainly, and
gave detailed description of the ami
NAL when he came back to town. Eve
fybody laughed at the story, and Duffy
was set down as the greatest romancer
of his time. Not many months after
that, however, John Rose, a prominent
Bangor lumberman, was at Lobster
Lake, where he had camps, and one
day, while crossing between Big Lobs-
ter and Little Lobster Lakes in COM
pany with the foreman of w. L. Max
fields camps, he saw the big moose.
Mr.. Ross is no romancer and when he
told his story of the monarch of the
woods people began to believe that
there was something UP there worth
shooting at.

woods in vain for the big fellow, for it
WtUla be worth a small fortune to any
man to bring him down. Not until
1895, however was the monster seen
again In that year Granville Gray,
Bangor taxidermist, got sight of the
moose, at some little distance, and
since then he has had a second view.
In 1880 Gilman Brown, Of West New
bury, Mass, got nearer to the monster
than had any of the others, actually
getting a shot at him. Mr.. Brown
came to Bangor and told stirring sto-
ny of his meeting with the moose. Mr..
Brown, in company with Harry NJ.
Pope, of Hartford, Conn, James Bus
fitleld of Haverhill, Mass, and e. w.
La Croix, of Lynn, Mass, hunted in the

Grass For Pigs.

Notwithstanding the anatomy Of the
pig would seem to dispute the PROPOSE
ton, grass is necessary to its best de-
velopment. The small stomach would
seem to indicate a grain ration, or con-
centrated food of some sort, and SO it
does. Hogs are wanted to consume a
large amount of food, converting it
into pork; therefore. the first thing re-
Quired is to enlarge his capacity to
eat; or. in other words. to enlarge his
stomach. Grass being bulky in pro-
portion to its nutritious qualities is
the very thing and involves the only
known method of enlarging the stom-
ach. At the same time, it furnishes
the protein needed to develop flesh,
muscle and bone. Then when we have
large frame built up with enlarged
digestive capacity it is an easy matter
to put on the fat with corn or other
carbohydrate foods.

Two college girls have recently dis
tinguishcd themselves as ''ministering
angels as well as scholars. Miss
Laura Gill is a graduate of Smith,
having taken the degree of a. B. in
1881 and A. VI. in 1885. When the
war broke out Miss Gill went to the
front as nurse. Recently she has been
a sort of advisory counsel to Governor
General Wood. and has distinguished
herself by her work among the suffer
ing Cubans Miss Harriet Boyd served
as nurse in the Spanish-American war
and also in the war between Greece
and Turkey. She was decorated by
the Greek Government for her sefv-
ices. Miss Boyd has been for several
years a student of the American School
at Athens, which, though but name
to many, has been for seventeen years
the Mecca for American students of
Greek. Miss Boyd, it will be remem-
bered, holds two fellowships in the
school. One of these is the Agnes Hop
pin memorial fellowship of $1,000 a
year, which is open to women only.

The health of dairy cows and the
conditions under which the animals
are kept are perhaps not in every case
what they might be. Indeed, it may
with some degree of confidence be af-
frmed that much remains to be desired
in regard to these exceedingly impor-
tant points, but while the need for i'm
provements is undisputed it is essen
tial, alike for success and in justice to
the owners of dairy herds, that what
ever measures of reform are Instituted
should be practicable and trustworthy.
In regard to this as to many other
agricultural questions, numerous theo-
ries and suggestions are promulgated,
but most of them are of the objection
able character calculated to inflict on
farmers the maximum of trouble and
annoyance while yielding little or no
tangible result. At a representative
conference of urban bodies in Glasgow
recently, called In connection with the
prevention of tuberculosis in its rela
ton to the meat and milk supply, the
following, among other resolutions, was
adopted. viz: THAT all buyers shall
conform within the space of, say,
twelve months from the time of regu-
lations coming into force with the fol-
lowing conditions: a. An impervious
floor; (2) a plentiful supply Of good
water for flushing; 80 proper drain
age; az 4 depot for manure at suffi-
| cient distance from the byres; 90 a
minimum cubic content as regards
| such districts of 600 cubic feet for each
adult beast; Co a minimum floor space
to each adult beast; q sufficient light
and ventilation"
With the foregoing propositions
there is little amiss as cleanliness and
ample ventilation in housing are un-
questionably matters of vital impor-
lance, but the same cannot be said re-
gardlng the further resolution suggest
ing that Parliament should be asked
to authorize local authorities to apply
in all diaries the tuberculin test in or
der to discover whether these cows

proved itself to be. In no properly or
ganized exhaustive experiment has tu-
berculin shown itself a certain dag
nostic for tuberculosis, and to carry
out this second resolution of the Glas-
cow meeting would mean intolerable
annoyance and hardship for the farm
er without the prospect of appreciable
benefit resulting to any of the inter
ests concerned.-London Daily Post.

A Day of Dread.

Why do women cling to Monday for
washing day? Where a housekeeper
is also a maid-of- all-work there S
some reason for it, as Sunday has
usually, by comparison, been with her
a day of rest, and she is better pre-
pared for hard work. But where she
has maids Sunday is with them
fatiguing day, for besides the dinner
and tea they prepare they 90 to church
and go to walk, and are off to see
their friends, and making a gala day
of it; in fact, they are too tired out
when the next morning comes for
such hard work as washing, and it
would not be remarkable if the work
were done poorly.
If the tasks of some other day of
the week We're transferred to Mon
day perhaps it would be a good
change-one might try it as an eX-
pertinent. If, for instance, the halls
and sleeping rooms were swept and
busted, leaving the parlors and other
rooms of that sort to be attended to,
as before, on Friday, so as to be fresh
for Sunday, it would divide a heavy
task as we'll as be of benefit other
wise, or else all the silver and brasses
could be secured, or the closets and
the refrigerators cleared and cleaned.
Then the clothes could be picked up,
sorted, put to soak, and Tuesday given
to the wash with more strength Of
will and muscle.
The fact is the wash is such a dis
agreeable affair that both mistress and
maid are eager to get it out of the
way; and even this could be mended
by an outdoor wash-house or laundry
with fire and boiler. Then, where the
means permit the hire of washer
woman weekly,it need never be known
in the house that there is such a thing
as washing day at all; and where the
means do not permit of the extra help
still a great part of the disagreeable
ness in the steam and the smell OF
suds is taken away from the con
seriousness by being taken out of the
house.-Washington Star.

a small item that goes toward the
making up of the human world has
been at last converted to the beauty
of the shirt waist for outdoor city
wear, in one instance at least.
While the majority of fair ones look
as If dressed by charity when abroad
in mismatched clothing, the fair one
in question was a treat to the eye.
A fine white shirt waist was Worn
with her black skirt, and long, soft,
white null tie concealed the choppy
line between waist and skirt. A mod
crate black bonnet, with natural-col-
ored straw trimming, rested upon the
wearer's soft white hair. Here was
one who did not look in undress even
in a trolley car.
But some do still insist that the most
of us look positively queer in the shirt
waist as it usually figures; if it is
chosen with some thought of the skirt
it Is often very well, but in most cases
the wearers should not fail to take
their little jackets along for the sake
of appearance if not for comfort.
Worn as it was designed to be, to
protect the jacket or blouse suit from
coming in direct contact with the skin,
the washable shirt waist is a wonder
of cleanliness and elegance but used
with any old skirt to elk out a suit,
t doesn't count-though even this may
be done with fine effect if the same
piece of goods be chosen and the whole
of good cut-Philadelphia Record.
