STATE NEWS.

A French Canadian, supposed to be
Joseph Albert of Massachusetts,, who
for the past week has been employed at
the Saco and Biddeford Water Company
was probably drowned while swimming
at Saco Saturday, although the body has
not been found.
The Second Regiment Infantry of the
State National Guard, 6l0 strong, ar
rived at Augusta Saturday for the an,
nual encampment. Special trains
brought the soldiers from all parts OF the
state to the capital. Camp will bt
broken next Friday and on Saturday
the First Regiment will rendezvous for
week.
It is reported that orders will be soor
issued to take up the rails, sleepers ano
fences of the Wiscasset and Quebec raj!
road between Albion and Burnham, thus
seemingly vanishing all idea of com
pleting the road to Burnham. One
gentleman states that if this proves true
the property owners, himself included
whose land has been damaged by the
railroad, will make attachments on TIT
rails and sleepers as fast as they are re
moved by the railroad employees, thus
hoping to secure their pay in part, a
least, for the damage they claim to have
been done to their property. Severa
interested parties, it is reported, hav'
already secured counsel.

NORWAY, Me-, Aug. 8, 1901. Business
in this town has never been better than
at the present time. The Radcliffe Shoe
Co., who have recently moved into the
large factory, expect to do very largely
increased business on what they have
been doing; although for the last eight
or nine months they have had no let-up
in their work. The employees, without
exception, are satisfied, and feel that
with steady work their compensation is
all right. This factory can use more
help in their stitching room at the pres
emit time than is possible to get in or
about Norway. Business never was run
ming smoother in the factories than at
the present time, and it is thought that
any and all applying for work here
would find all they want to do.

COMING HOME.

We have heard your cry. dear Mother Maine,
We have heard your tender call;
We are coming home 10 greet you,
Sons and daughters, one and all;
From the bleak Atlantic seaboard,
From Pacidc's golden sand,
We are coming home, dear mother,
A glad and joyous band.
Coming home to climb the mountains.
Coming home to climb the hills;
Coming home TO see the rivers
And the little ripping rills;
Coming home to roam the valleys
Where the sheep and cattle stray,
Coming home to make Old Home week
One long, glad holiday.
We have wandered far. dear mother,
Since we said our last goodbye,
With lingering backward chances
And with tear-drops in our eye;
From East TO West, from North TO South,
Your sons and daughters stray.
But we're coming home, dear mother,
To spend this holiday.
For one day we heard the ringing
of silver throated bell,
And 1t stirred our hearts with rapture,
For we know It's music well.
Twas the old bell In the steepe
or the "church upon the hilr',
Sending out Its welc Ime summons
over mount anu Ndtt anu nh.
Far across the Eastern waters.
Far across the Western plain,
Rang the loving Invitation,
Children, dear, come home again"
And with one accort we answered
To Its jubilant refrain:
ave are coming home, dear mother,
We are coming home again"
We are bringing home our children,
Dark.eyed sons and daughters fair,
With the joyous laugh OF childhood
And the sunshine In their hair.
Children born affair, dear mother,
From those loving arms OF thine
Some where winters snow still fingers,
Some beneath the Southern pine.
We are bringing home our children
To see where ace were born;
To show TO them the dear old farms
And fields of waving corn.
To show to them the dear old homes
We left with tear-dimmed eye,
Where the hills of oxford lift their heads
Against the deep blue sky.
Swing wide the doors to greet US,
And ope your loving arms;
No other place In all the world
Has for US so many charms.
No other trees are quite 50 green,
No other skies so blue,
AS the trees that wave around our home.
And the sky that bends Ger you.
Coming home to climb the mountains,
Coming home to climb the hills;
Coming home to see the rivers
And the little ripping rills.
Coming home to roam the valleys
Where the sheep and cattle stray.
Coming home to make Old Home Week
One long glad holiday.

LETTER TO HON. JAS. S. WRIGHT,
SOUTH PARIS

Dear Sir: One coat of Devoe is better
than two of mixed paint.
The American House at Tannersville
(Catskill Mts.), n. Y, Chas. l.. Wiltse,
had two coats of Mixed Paint five years
ago; last spring had two more coats OF
the same.
Owner was going to use Devoe but got
his Mixed Paint few cen Is less.
Right across the street, Charles Haner
painted one coat of Devoe at the same
time-last spring.
The Haner house is the better job; but
wait five years.
The point of the story is that Wiltse
is sorry already. He has learned some.
thing that not one man in thousand
knows-that a gallon of one kind Of
paint can contain twice as much paint az
a gallon of another kind of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
paint, even if you have it given to you:
At the same time, you see, that Mixeo
Paint appears to have worn five years
give the devil his due.
Yours truly,
F.W. DEvoE 81 Co.

THE BAPTIST vesTRY.

The new vestry of the Baptist church
was dedicated Thursday evening with
appropriate services. The musical part
of the programme included solos by
Miss Jessie Tolman, Miss Ethel D. Ellis,
and Mr.. George w. Haskell, duet by
Messrs. George w. Haskell and L. w.
Hollis, and quartette singing by Miss
Ellis, Mrs. Whittle, and Messrs. Haskell
and Hollis. Remarks were made by
Rev. T. ]. Ramsdell, the pastor of the
church, Rev. w. E. Brooks. d. D., of
the Congregational church, Rev. A. W..
Pottle of the Methodist church, and Rev.
Summer Bangs. Deacon Geo. B. Crock
EFT, the treasurer, made financial re-
port on the work, and Mrs. Hebbard, in
behalf of the Ladies' Circle, extended
thanks to those who had generously
aided, with either money or labor.
The new vestry is a room 30xo0,
under the middle of the church building,
well lighted by windows on each side.
Three posts are in line in the middle OF
the room, but they do not interfere with
the view of the platform. The finish and
the floor are of hard pine. The entrance
is on the south side of the church.
Opposite the foot of the steps is good
sized cloak room. On the opposite side
of the audience room is a kitchen with
range and large sink, and closets and
drawers in plenty.
The full seating capacity of the audi
ence room is something over two hun
dred. 1t is furnished with folding set
tees for some more than hundred, and
the seating facilities are increased as
needed by folding chairs from the former
vestry upstairs.
The rooms are all lighted by electric
ity, and the hot air pipe from one of the
church furnaces, passing through the
audience room, is tapped to furnis
heat. 1t is anticipated that the room,
being about half underground, will be
warm in winter, and it
has already demonstrated that in hot
weather it is one of the coolest rooms in
the place, showing during the heated
term about ten degrees below the main
audience room of the church.
The direct money cost was SI1S.Sl, IN
addition to which some material and a
large amount of labor was contributed.
The excavating alone is figured as the
removal of 26S ~ tons of sand and
gravel. and the labor was all given;
the work was all done be-
tween 6 O'Clock at night and Z in the
The lathing, the painting, |
md some other parts of the work were
also given.
The Ladies' Circle put into the work
, fund of about two hundred dollars
which they had on hand. and the debt
IF a few hundred which is left they
assume.
The Baptists wish to extend special
hanks to those members of other
churches, and members of no church,
Who have assisted them in the work, as
luite number have, either with labor
n in some other way.

THOSE NEWRY BIRDS.

Editor Democrat:
Your Newry correspondents strange
bird is probably the rose-breasted gros-
beak, bird which is classed by natural
lists with the finches of Europe. There
are several grosbeaks in America, and
this species is common in the state of
Maine, though many people seem sur
prised to see them.
The probability is that there are
weevils among the peas, and that it is
those which the grosbeaks are seeking.
They will also eat potato bugs and about
anything else in the insect line, which is
fat and plump.
Among insectivorous birds they are
unusually helpful to the farmer, as re.
markably large proportion of their food
is bugs and such. d. c. CLARK.

U.e Of q Long Breath.

When chilled by exposure to coid'
take a long breath, with the mouth
firmly shut. Repeat this several times
until you begin to feel the heat return
ing. It requires only a very short time
to do this. The long breath quickens
the pulse, and this causes the blood to
circulate faster. The blood flows into
all parts of the veins and arteries ana
gives out a great deal Of heat. 1t Is
stated that long. deep breath. held as
long as possible. will close the pores OF
a heated skin, and the danger OF taking
cold, on stepping outdoors, may be thus
vuarded against.
