The Naming of Farms.

We wish that every farm in Maine
would be named, says the Lewiston
Journal. This is not mere matter of
sentiment by any means. but 1t is strict
ly business. The man whose farm Ia
known by some name is certain to take
Q greater interest In its products and
conduct all Of his operations on bet
ter plan. On every place there is GER
tain to be some popularity that will
suggest name. A spring Of pure wa
ter. grove Of oak or maple trees or
something else of similar nature will
give 1t. a local flavor. Then paint this
name on the end of the barn facing the
road. Let 1t be where every passerby
can see 1t. Your farm will then soon
become known far and wide and will
aid you in thousand ways. Besides,
how much more dignlfied 1t Is to be
spoken of as the proprietor of Oak
Grove farm than to be alluded to as
Jim Jones. BY all means name your
farms, and 1t will make you all better
farmers.

Proving Polarization,

The polarization OF the human body
can be proved by allowing strong
current to flow through the body from
one end to the other, the hands being
placed in two basins connected with
the poles The hands are then dried
and placed in two other basins of wa
ter connected with the wires of deli
cate galvanometer A current in the
reverse direction to the original one is
then found to flow from the body.

J FINLAND AND THE +CzAR.
Appeal For the Maintenance of Com
stitutiOnal Rights.

stitutiOnal Rights.
A monster petition to the czar con-
cerning the recently issued edicts on
military service in Finland has been
handed in to the Finnish senate. The
petition is signed by nearly 100000
persons. In wording the petition is
similar to that drafted by the Finnish
diet last year, although this one deals
more particularly with the constitu-
tional rights of Finnish citizens, and.
taking UP the edicts one by one, it
shows how they are contrary to the
pledges of Nicholas II. given at the
time of his coronation.
The petition declares that one of the
most important rights accorded to ev-
cry Finnish citizen by the constitution
is the privilege to live under the shell
ter of the laws of Finland, but the
edicts deprive the citizens of this right
by forcing them to serve in the Rus
sian regiments in remote parts of the
empire. In regard to the temporary
alleviation in the military burden an
pounced in the manifesto OF last July,
Ahe petition declares that that cannot
mitigate the impression created by the
edicts, "seeing that the temporary de-
crease in the levy will be followed by
an unlimited conscription for military
service In Russian regiments"
The petition closes as follows: "The
people Of Finland cannot cease to re-
main a nation by itself. Our people,
united through common bonds of his
tory, legal conceptions and cultural ac-
tivlty. will remain faithful in Its love
for its Finnish native land and its le-
gally defined liberty. and 1t will not
falter In its efforts to fulfill honordbly
the unassuming position assigned to
It by Providence In the ranks of ma
tions, and just SO firmly as we believe
in this, our rights, and as we respect

the aid he has rendered a poor sick
man. You canssay anything you wish
In commendation of him, and you can

Christmas.

This day is supposed to repre-
sent the birth of Christ, the
humble Nazarene, whose life was
one of the purest of any OF
earth, and whose doctrines ano
teachings have led to the highest
civilization and moral welfare Of
mankind. In every cline and
nationality throughout the christ
ian word It's day of genera
feasting and rejoicing, especially
for the young people. 1t is
time for friendly remembrance
by gifts of various values from
the humblest memento to the
costliest jewel. To the great
majority of homes comes joy un-
alleged by tinge of sorrow-to
some comes grief no balm can
cure, wounds that time can never
heal, and that must go into the
great beyond gaping, paining
and aching. To these, the hilar-
ity Of the great masses and the
CLINT of splendor by contrast on
ly makes suffering the keener.
Life in its varying phases is
great study for mankind-at best
it is but an evanescent shadow.
The Nazarene taught the best
and highest solution of its whole
problem, and the only one that
can rob death of its terrors. II
is meet therefore that the day
Of his nativity should be cele-
brated in such a manner as
should bring only joy to the
human heart and rob humanity
of all the burdens that bears so
heavily upon it. THE TINES,
therefore hopes that all its read
ers have enjoyed a happy Christ
mas, and that the New Year
which is about to dawn may
bring to them prosperity, hap
piness and that heartjoy which
comes alone to the most favored
of earth.

For some time prior to Christ
mas the trade of our town has
been good and as that day APP
preached, the crowd upon our
streets increased, until Christ
mas eve it became so densely
packed as scarcely to be able to
wend ones way along the pave
ments. White and black, silk
and rags came in contact without
jar or trouble and the harvest was
rich for our merchants, especial

MELBA'S HOME

Madame Melba's home in Great Cumberland place is one of the most wonderful homes in London, says the Express. The grand salon, which aroused the enthusiasm of the Prince of Wales, was copied by a number of famous artists from a room in the Pal ace of Versailles. The diva's own apartments are very beautiful. the quaint. diamond mirrored and adjust ale partition that divides her dressing room and bath room being designed by herself. The bed. which is placed on a stand and fitted with canopy. draped with priceless lace. is the one on which the Dauphin of France spent his last night of royal s,"Ie.
 The toilet set in this rcoI-: is of un- spotted amber tortoise shell. and each piece bears a large M" in diamonds. That in her dressing room is of ham, mered gold. with a lily of the valley design in diamonds and pearls.
