The Portland Daily News says that
probably more people who walk along
Congress street covet that piece Of
Clapp property on the corner Of Elm
than almost any chunk of realty along
the thoroughfare. Not because the old
coach in which Governor John Han
cock rode to his Inauguration. now
covered with cobwebs, is stored out in
the shed. Not because such distin-
guished men as President Monroe
President Polk. Secretary OF State
James Buchanan. Commodore Stewart
Aaron Burr. Hannibal Hamlin. Gen.
George y. Mcclellan. Stephenson. tire
great engineer and others We're once
entertained there. Not because car
pets that cost SO a yard cover the par

of the time. pays s739.S0 every year in
taxes for the fun of owning it, No, it
is none of these It's tie location, the

The State Board of Trade might well
take up At its coming meeting at Rock
land a subject touched on by one Of tne
speakers at the last meeting of the
board here. the possibility of securing
for Maine some OF the Swedish immi-
grants sure to land here during the
winter. As q matter Of fact Il great
many very desirable people landed at
Portland during the summer. The
western states are securing the ma jori-
ty of them. but Canada is picking
them up rather frequently. If some
pushing member of the State board
would only take the matter up and
show the way Canada secures some Of
these people. he would be doing the
State good service. Maine is in a po-
sition to offer more to that class of cit
liens than any other state in the
Union, and is not making the least eff
fort to induce them 10 settle here The
Swedish immigrants are particularly
az sira bic as we well know. Nothing is
zone to advertise Maine in any other
country. and Canada is securing men
and wCmen Maine could get by the
making Of q slight effort.

Health COM mandments.

The requirements Of health can be
counted on the fingers Of one hand.
They are good air, good food, suitable
clothing, cleanliness and exercise and
rest. The first two requirements affect
the blood, and as the blood c!culates
all over the body, including the brain.
every part is affected. Fresh air effects
the purity of the blood. The freshest
air is out Of doors, and it is the duty
of every one who wishes to be in good
health to spend a certain amount Of
time in the open air. Good food is not
necessarily expensive food. Exercise
and rest should alternate and balance
each other. Women, as rule, do not
rest sufficiently. Every woman should
try during the day to get few min
utes rest. even If it interferes with her
regular work 1t is impossible for her
to attend to the health and welfare Of
her family if her own health suffers
from overwork and lack Of rest. She
should follow her husbands example.
Although he is busy all day long, he
generally makes It hard and fast rule
to rest during the evening in the best
way. namely, by change OF employ

Hard Tests OF Love.

Among the Arabs Of Upper Egypt the
youth who proposes to girl must
submit to a whipping at the hands Of
her male relatives; and, says a narra
tor. If he wishes to be considered
worth having, he must receive the
chastisement, which is sometimes ex-
ceedingly severe. with an expression
Of enjoyment" Notwithstanding, l. is
the maiden herself who imposes the
test. The Sakalava girls Of Madagas-
car make their lovers stand az short
distance from a clever spear-thrower
and catch between the arm and side
every spear thrown at them. II the
youth displays fear or fails to catch
the spear, he is ANONYMOUSLY rejected.
but IL there be no flinching and the
spears are caught he is at once pro-

French Justice.

The course OF justice is evidently al
times marked by unexpected happenings
in Algeria says Paris special in the
-ndon Express. A short time ago a
man named Bourgoin was liberated from
the prison Of Bone. and arrested as 4
deserted not long after at Nemours.
He admitted that his name was Bour-
coin. but protested that he was not a
deserter. He was. nevertheless. taken
back to Bone by the gendarmes. and
there it was discovered that his arrest
was a mistake
The strangest part of the story, how
ever. is that as soon as the military au-
thorities released him Bourgoin was TAX
en- into custody by the Police Prosecutor
on a charge of "Imposture 10 the pre-
iudice of the State" in causing himself
70 be fed and transported at the public
charge. and he is now doing a months
