his desire to be hoisted out of the hatch.
The tackle was run down and he was

REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS.
RECORD OF THEIR LAST RESTING
PLACES DESIRED.

A part of the patriotic work for which
the Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution was organized is the record
ing of the location Of the last resting
places of the men, who carried that war
through to its successful termination and
founded the government that we now
enjoy.
The Maine Society wishing to make as
complete list as possible Of the patriots
Of the Revolution, who were buried
within our state, appeals to all persons
interested, to forward any inscription on
a graveston or monument to the memory
of a known patriot during the years
l775-17S3, or the record of any Revolu-
tionary soldier, orany recognized patriot
of that period buried in an unmarked
grave, giving the name of the place,
cemetery and its location in every case.
This list will, at some time, be pub
lished for its preservation and publicity
and will be deposited in the libraries OF
our state and all important libraries in
neighboring states. This is a patriotic
work in which all public spirited citi-
zens should be interested and is of per-
manent historical value. All informa-
ton called for above should be address
ed to Nathan Goold, Portland, historian
of the Maine Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution, or sent to the
Democrat and we will see that it is for
warded 1t would be interesting to the
people to know how many Revolution
airy soldiers have graves in Oxford
County.

SIMPLY GRAND

Is the unanimous verdict of all who
witness the splendid Interpretation of the
character of Eben Baxter, the staunch,
honest old postmaster, by Mr.. Charles
Cowles, who will appear at Norway
opera house on Thursday, Aug. Sth, in
his incomparably pretty play, "a COun-
try Merchant" As a delineator of the
Yankee character Mr.. Cowles stands
alone, without an equal; which is pretty
strong language when one considers
other great names easily recalled. Mr..
Cowles and his able support vary the
performance by the introduction of novel
and most clever specialties of bright,
refined order. No painstaking theatre
goer will fail to enjoy this entertain
ment, where emotions and mirth are
continually mingled. Mr.. Cowles' old
man song and dance alone would
more than compensate-once seen, never
forgotten. This season the company
has been enlarged, band and orchestrs
being added. See our funny bano
parade. Hear our fine concert at 7:S(

A FEW FEATURES

In ga Country Merchant" beside the
pretty play itself, might be mentioned
comical antics of the "a Country Mer-
chant" quartette, the ludicrous "Rube
Trio, the deep bass Of. Arthur Snow,
the rich soprano of Miss Edna Showalter,
the risque dances OF the irresistible
Young soubrette, with which she punct-
yates her latest hits-to say that she
holds her audience spell-bound would be
using mild phrase. Fun and comedy
is the order of things in IA Country
Merchant and Mr.. Cowles has certainly
succeeded in placing before the public
an entertainment that is proving highly
satisfactory in every particular, winning
highest praise from both press and pub
lie everywhere. No painstaking theatre
goer can afford to miss "a Country
Merchant" Band parade and free con
cert at 1880 p. n.

Fish m Marksmsn.

Several animals that employ projec.
tiles in capturing their prey are known
to naturalists. This may not seem SO
wonderful in regard to mammals and
insects, but when 1t comes to fish one
is apt to wonder what they can use
for this purpose.
A few drops Of water seem hardly
sufficient for any effective service; yet
this Is the main reliance Of the toxus
jaculator in obtaining Its food. He 10
found In the rivers Of India, and lives
chiefly on the insects that wander over
the leaves Of aquatic plants. To wait
for them to fall into the water would
result In meager fare; to capture them
by leaping would be difficult, even II
the noise caused by the act did not
frighten them away.
The toxus knows better trick than
that. He draws In some drops OF
water, and then contracting his mouth
elects them with such force and Ger
tainty that they rarely fail to bring
down the insect aimed at.
There Is another fish In Java that
acts In this manner and can strike o
fly at a distance Of several feet. The
Chinese keep these curious fish in jari
and amuse themselves by making
them carry on this little exercise.

AN oLo LADIES' HOME.

Editor Democrat:
Why not have an old ladies' home for
the county of Oxford? 1t would fill a
long felt want, and be an honor to the
county and blessing to those who have
no home of their own in their declining
years.
Why not make the old Horne home
stead of Norway village such a home?
No place in the county better adapted
to the wants of such home, With %
rooms, mostly furnished with hot and
cold water now, it could be bought at a
reasonable figure and put in shape for
immediate use at small expense. Such
a thing has been talked of little and l
am informed Mrs. Horne would like to
see it done.
Let us hear from the good people of
the county. | have heard two say they
would furnish room, and your humble
servant would another. Now is the
time to move, as this property will be
changed within year. r.

UNMARKED SOLDIERS GRAVES.

Probably not every one knows that
the national government will furnish,
upon proper application, stone marker
for the grave of any Union soldier which
has no stone. The stones thus furnish
ed are uniform, both as to size and
shape, and form of inscription. 1t is
naturally part of the proper work of
the Grand Army of the Republic to see
that such application is made. VIM. K.
Kimball Post of South Paris something
like year and half ago made full
investigation and found eight unmarked
graves in the town of Paris. Due ap-
plication for the stones was made, and
though there is considerable delay about
getting them, they are expected before
long. 1t is to be presumed that the
Grand Army posts have attended to this
matter within their respective jurisdic-
tons, and that the time is not far dis
tant when there will not be soldiers

LETTER TO cHAS. EDWARDS, SOUTH
PARIS

Dear Sir: Is gallon of paint gallon
of paint, or half-a-gallon? Sometimes
one, sometimes the other. E. p. Lynch,
and his predecessor, Delhi, N. Y, sold a
wellknown Mixed Paint for twenty
years-It's a good paint, as mixed
paints go.
n. Avery owns two houses exactly
alike there. He painted one four years
ago with this Mixed Paint-took twelve
gallons. Last spring, he painted the
other house with Devoe; bought IL gal
Ions and had six gallons left. Same
painter: George Gilbert. Same result,
so far as looks 60.
But the point of this tale is: LIST, That
a paint is dear or cheap according to
what it is; no matter about the price.
End, That gallon of one kind of paint
can contain twice as much paint as a
gallon of another kind of paint.
Devoe goes twice as far as Mixed
Paint-two to one-but that isn't all.
This story, however, skips the rest
how it wears is the rest.
Another, same town-FergusOn Il
Thompson's store was painted some
years ago with this same Mixed Paint
80 gallons. Reprinted last spring with
Devoe. Mr.. Lynch said Is gallons
would be enough. They have gallons
left.
Yours truly,
F.W. DEvoE & Co.

He Held On.

Brown was the unhappy possessor OF
an aching mOlar. 1t had been In bis
possession for 80 years, so he did
not like to part with 1t; but 1t ached
so continuously and intolerably that
he Mt length reluctantly decided that
it must go. Accordingly he visited the
dentist.
Brown refused to have gas; but
when the knight Of the forceps began
to pull, he regretted his decision.
"Hold Onr' he shouted.
"Never fearw replied the dentist
reassuringly.
Hold ON, l sayp yelled Brown,
tying his feet In a knot with pain.
'.Trust me! l won't let 60" answered
The dentist, as he tugged harder.
"G-g-gow! Lego! Hold on" screamed
Brown, endeavoring to seize the
operators hands.
Then the molar came out, the pain
ceased, and Brown felt ashamed OF
himself.
II was afraid you'd let 60" he ex'
planned mendaciously.

WASHDAY WISDOM.

A very hot iron should never be used
for flannels or woolens.
Calicoes, ginghams and chintzes
should be ironed on the wrong side.
Clothesllnes are made much more
durable by boiling for ten minutes be-
fore they are used.
Table linen should be ironed when
quite damp and ironed with a very hot
and very heavy iron.
Irons should not be allowed to be-
come redhOt. as they will never retain
the heat properly afterward.
Embroideries should be ironed on a
thin. smooth surface over thick flannel
and only on the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white
by the use of q little refined borax In
the water instead Of using washing
fluid.
Wash fabrics that are inclined to
fade should be soaked and rinsed In
very salt water, to set the color. before
washing in the suds.
Silken fabrics, especially white silk
handkerchiefs. should not be damp
ened. but ironed with a moderately
warm iron when taken from the line.

QUEEN ELIzABETH's FAULTS


She Was Very Vain and InorAiAa4sly
Fond Of Fine Dress.
Yet Elizabeth was never really suc-
cessful with her wardrobe as q more
feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses were never beautiful, only 10.
dicrously and most inappropriately
magnificent-laden with jewels, weight
ed down with cloth Of gold, stiR with
silver embroidery and 30 heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must,
without supporting vanity, have felt
the fatigue Of carrying them about
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim femininity merely on that
account, for vanity Is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic.
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful Ceminine) observer can
doubt that q vain man IL vainer than q
vain woman.
Elizabeth's hands were her especial
pride, and, judging from her portraits,
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with Jewels, and 1t was her
habit in public to pull her rings OF
with absent artlessness and push them
on again, moving those white hands
about In the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration Of q
state paper. wherein her cold sagacity
never took second place, she interrupt.
ed the discussion to ask whether the
Due d'Anjou, who was at one time one
of her suitors, had been told what
pretty foot she had and how white and
well rounded was her armf This in
the woman who financed the armada
with hard headed economy, who dared
the superstitious terrors Of her own
conscience In her high handed and i'm
pudent treatment Of the bishops, whose
interest In methods of torture for state
prisoners was most mechanical and in
telligent, entirely unhampered by any
feminine hesitation as to
blood or pain. Is most curious.
In connection with this last charac-
teristic Of cruelty vanity is not at all
unprecedented. Indeed, If one observe
closely one Will notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always
strange inclination toward cruelty.
The accounts Of what Queen Elizabeth
permitted and indeed commanded In
this respect will hardly bear reading
