Gov. Hill of Seal Island.

"It is not generally KNOWN" remark
ed Captain Sol Jacobs of the schooner
Helen Miller Gould, when in port last
week, ''that Maine has two governors
and both of them are named Hill. Yet
such is a fact. Off Isle au Haut lies
Seal Island, small though fertile piece
of rocky land which is governed by
David B. Hill, a fisherman, who has
secured from the State of Maine ten
years lease of it. Talk about your
pooh-bahs, emperors or Robinson Cru
soes, why Dave Hill is the whole thing
and more besides. All the fishermen
who have occasion to put into Seal Is
and salute Dave as governor, and the
old man is just tickled to death every
time man addresses him as Governor
Hill.
eff Gov. Dave gets out of bed on the
wrong side of a morning he is liable to
be cranky and won't let brat land on
his tight little isle. There are quite a
number of fishermen on the island who
regard Dave as the only boulder on the
beach, and what he says is law" Rock
land Star.

The First Ships.

Noah's Ark is generally supposed to be
the earliest ship of which we have any
record, but there exist paintings of
Egyptian vessels immensely older than
the date, 2s4O B. G., usually assigned to
the Ark, being indeed, probably, be-
tween 20 and 50 centuries old. More
over, there are now in existence in
Egypt boats which were built about the
period the Ark was constructed. These
are, however, small craft, about 80 feet
long, or feet wide and II to 3 feet
deep. They were discovered six years
ago by the eminent French Egyptolo-
gist, NJ. J. Morgan, in brick vaults near
Cairo and were probably funeral boats.
They are constructed of three-inch
acacia and sycamore planks, dovetailed
together and fastened with trenails.
They have floors, but no ribs, and,
though nearly 5000 years old, they held
rigidly together, after their support had
been removed.

HOH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
dammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssureo Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for 40
long as the poison remains in the blood
It will keen the skin irritated.

/
caded silk, votive candles, ostrich eggs,
the usual paraphernalia of Arab tombs.
The mosque itself is glorious building,
a regular pocket-edition of the Alham-
bra, in the best style of Moorish art
and sparkling all over with the most
beautiful tile-mosaics.
Mansouri, mile or so farther on, is
hardly less remarkable. Its history is
worthy of its time. After Abou Yakoub
had besieged Tlemcen four years, he
turned his camp into city and sur
! rounded it with high walls and towers,
of which large portion now remains.
They enclose a nearly perfect square of
$50 acres. The historian Ibn Kaaldoun
says: cit was filled with. large houses,
immense buildings, sumptuous palaces
| and irrigated gardens. 1t was in the
year 1902 that the king built it's walls
and that he created al splendid city,
famous both for it's vast population, it's
extensive trade and its massive walls.
He included in it public baths, caravan
serais, hospital and mosque with
lofty minaret. In short time it took
the first place among the cities of Bar
barry. However, Mansouri was evacu-
ated when peace was made, only four
years later, and altogether deserted for
quarter of a century; until the second
siege of Tlemcen, when the ''Black Sui
TAM after capturing the capital, built
palace at Mansouri and prepared to en-
JOY life with a few hundred of his wives.
But the misfortunes of war soon drove
| him away, and ever since its empty
mosques and palaces have been crum-
bling to decay. The minaret of Abou
Yakoub, 125 feet high,-built of hewn
stone and by far the most beautiful
architectural monument of Moorish
| times in Algeria-still remains. having
been recently strengthened and repair
ed. The Arabs of the neighborhood say
that Yakoub, being in a hurry to COM
plete his minaret employed Jew to
help his Moslem masons. But God did
not bless the work of the Jew, and as
fast as he reared portion, though
ever so carefully, it fell to the ground.
The city walls are forty feet high and
four feet thick. A curious feature is
that the towers are entirely without
gates or doorways. 1t is said that they
were used only for stores, and that the
custodian entered them from the top by
means of ropes.
All around lies a rich and beautiful
country, entirely unlike the parched,
sun-burnt Algeria of which one gains a
notion from books. Every mound and
hollow and plain luxuriates in olives,
figs, cherries, almond, pistachios, until
all the landscape is one immense or
chard. The meadows are carpeted with
flowers and the hillsides ,tapestried with
heath or orchids. A pathway leads
across the fields to what is called a
troglodgtic city-meaning range of
caverns, once inhabited but now aban-
| doned. On top of all is the koubba of
Lalla-Setta- ancient worthy who,
during one of the many sieges of ITEM
cen bethought himself to stuff a goat
with barley and then head him for the
enemy's camp. The besiegers killed the
goat, and seeing that it was so bounti-
fully fed, abandoned all hope of taking
/ the city and forthwith struck their
tents FANNIE B. WARD.

Maine Benefit Company.

Judge Whitehouse signed the decree
July 10Th for the final distribution to
the members of the Maine Benefit Life
Association of the funds in the hands
of the receivers. By this decree divi-
dend of three and sixty-one hundredths
per cent. of the amount paid by each
member who is entitled to participate
in the distribution is returned to him.
All the unpaid claims for deaths which
had occurred before the corporation
went into the hands of the receivers,
and all outstanding claims against the
corporation were paid in full nearly a
year ago. These claims amounted to
about $4,000.
Soon after that, a decree was issued
directing a return of the last assess
ment and all unearned premiums. I'm
der this decree the receivers distributed
TO the members about $245, 900, and the
decree, to-day, will distribute to them
the balance on hand, amounting to about
$50, O0O At the time the receivers took
charge of the corporation the assets
consisted principally of 100000 in
bonds on deposit in the State treasury.

interest which accrued on the fund

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the friends

CHAPFEE TO WITHDRAW.
Command to Be Transferred From
China to Philippines.

Washington, Jan. LIN view of
Ohlna's preservation of order out
side OF Pekin and of her willingness
to protect foreigners, and the fact
that the imperial court, whose pres
ence in Pekin is SO desirable, will not
return to the capital until the foreign
troops leave, well informed public
men here are advocating the imme-
diate withdrawal of General Chaffee's
command and it's dispatch to the
Philippines, where regulars are need
ed to take the places of the volun-
teers who will return, beginning next
month, to San Francisco.
General Chaffee's command will be
withdrawn. the United States merely
reserving the right to maintain le-
cation in Pekin, the privilege to be
taken advantage of in case the Amer
lean legation should again be en-
dangered.
AS explained by an administration
official, the situation in the Philip
pines requires that all the American
troops available shall be stationed
in the archipelago. There are less
than 10000 electives in the islands.
Major General Macarthur thinks the
situation demands that there should
be at least this number of electives
