Andre started in his balloon to reach
the pole at 3 p. m. on July II. 1897, over
three years ago. The buoy which has
Just been found was thrown out seven
hours after his departure. Two mes
sages sent out by him later than this
were found long ago. One of them was
borne by carrier pigeon, and was dated
July 10 at 10. 30 p. M, or nearly two days
after his ascent. The other which was
letter buoy, found last year, was
thrown out after he had been in the air
seven hours and tifty-five minutes 1t will
be seen that the buoy just found DO re an
earlier date than the proceeding messages
from him and therefore adds nothing
to our information in regard to the
aeronaut and his voyage. In addition to
these three messages, one other relic OF
the party has been found. This lis the
empty buoy found on September II last,
on the north side of King Charles island.
1t Is the specially marked buoy called
the North Pole buoy" which Andre
intended to throw out when passing
the North Pole. AS it contained no mes
sage it is believed to have drifted away
from the wreckage after the collapse OF
the expedition.

Stories of trading are always rife just
before election. AS a rule they can be
set down as the products of a heated
imagination. Where there is large
body of voters under the control of a
boss, as is the case in New York city,
trading on large scale is possible, but in
this state little can be done In the way
of trading. Certainly no trade can be
arranged which viii have any appreciable
effect upon the result of the election.

John Bull has lost his wind. He Is
wholly unprepared to learn that Russia

SENSE OF PROPRIETY.
(WatervilIe MaiI.)

1t needed no denial to convince the
average person that the Hon. Arthur
SewsalI has not deserted the Democratic
part y. Mr.. Sewall has too much political
pride for that. He is in sympathy with
very little that Dem ocracy at present
stands for, and believes in most of the
principles set forth in the Republican
platform, but political propriety and
good taste would forbid man like Sewall
to turn against the candidate with whom
he ran only four years ago. Mr.. Sewall
has aeson, however, who is a warm Re
publican.

The Horton law-the New York statute
that permitted prize fights under the
guise of boxing matches-has come to an
end and none too soon. There is no
question that the ''mills" that have
been given under it's auspices for two
years past in New York and vicinity
have proved very corrupting. The
brutality of the exhibitions was not their
only bad feature, The betting which
was one of their concomitants was ex-
ceedingly demoralizing also We are
inclined to think that the frequency OF
these exhibitions for the past two years
has served to dull somewhat the edge of
public interest in prize fights, and in this
way may have been productive OF
some little good, but it is small compared
with the evil which has come from them.

Sunbaths For the Hair.

Light hair should be washed often
and dried in the sun. A tablespoon
full of household ammonia added to
each basin of water .sed in washing
assists materially ii keeping it light.
Dark hair should be dried in the
shade, or it will fade in streaks; but
if the dark haired girl wishes to
tighten her tresses without bleach
she can accomplish something in that
direction by adding borax to the
water and, after drying the hair in the
shade, giving 1t "sunbath" as often
as practicable. During the sunbath,
the hair should be spread. and shaken
out constantly. that the rays may
reach all the roots alike.

Victoria q Busy Woman,

Queen Victoria now spends con-
siderable portion OF her leisure in
reading, or in. having read to her, the
proofs of forthcoming publications in
which she is interested. 1t is said
that this is the real reason why both
the official biography of the Duchess
of Teck and the more eagerly awaited
life of Lord Beaconsfeld have been
delayed so long. In\each case her
Majesty has insisted on reading every
document and letter.
No royal biography was ever prlb-
lished under the personal supervisor
of British sovereign until that OF the
Prince CSnsort appeared.

ability. Born nearly si1ty-seven years
ago in Ireland, he was called 10 the
