A Costly Job of Painting.

Eighteen years ago, says the Kenne5
bee (Afe.) Journal, a Northeast Harbor
man wanted to paint his house. He ap-
preached an Ellsworth man and told
him if he would let him have $50 to
paint his. house he. would give him the
deed to a piece. Of land which he owned
at Northeast. Harbor. 1t wasn't much
good for farming land. but might be
worth something some day. The Els
worth man gave him $50 and took a
deed of the land. A short time after
ward he sold a half interest in the piece
to another Ellsworth man for $1,000. a
few. years ago they were asked for an
option on the land at $4,000, of which
$500 was paid down, to be forfeited
if the land was not bought. The pur-
chase was not made. and the Ellsworth
men pocketed the $500 forfeit. a year
or two later they sold ene-quarter Of
the piece fer $500. They still own
three-quarters of the original piece, and
It would take something like $4,000 to
buy, it. How that Northeast Harbor
man must wish he hadn't painted his
house!

Expensive Ignorance.

The total income of all the colleges
of this country is S21,000,000 a year,
ard the poor people of New York pay
annually sl6.o00,000 into the policy
shops of that city. Here is an illumi-
mating contrast. The whole country
pays S21, 100000 annually for its high
est education, and the metropolitan
city alone puts s16,oooooo yearly in L
game that only preys on the ignorant.
l fancy no college man ever played
policy except in the pursuit of knowl-
edge and by way of experiment. When
ignorance Is so costly, higher education
cannot be very dear at twice what is
now spent on it.-Ainslee's Magazine

va1ue OF a Bee,s Tongue.

In the new apiculture the length OF
the bees tongue is looked upon as a
matter Of importance. The longer the
tongue the greater is the insects honey
gathering capacity. and a new French
apparatus, the glossometer, is designed
to aid the apiarist who by judicious Sc
lection seeks to develop long tongued
race. The apparatus is simply a glass
vessel for sirup. with lid containing
numerous small perforations and a
floating scale to show the height Of the
liquid when the bees just reach it
through the holes. 1t is estimated that
the ordinary bee can draw sweets from
depth of about a quarter Of an inch
and that selection can increase its
range a twenty-ffth of an inch.

when Herrings Were Plenty.

In former days herrings were so
abundant In Newfoundland waters that
the most wanton slaughter Of them
was permitted without any restriction
whatever. Seines were allowed to re-
tain 1000 or 1000 barrels Of the fish
until they perished. and then the net
was freed. and the whole contents fell
to the bottom to pollute the ocean for
miles around When poaching smack
was captured. the herrings it had on
board were all thrown into the sea, and
frequently boats when chased resorted
to the same means to get rid Of incrim-
mating evidence. The fish then fetched
only so cents barrel Of 500 herrings,
or ten for cent.-Cleveland Plain

PILLsBuRY TO RETIRE.
American Chess Champion TO Be-
come q Lawyer.

American Chess Champion TO Be-
come q Lawyer.
1t is stated on reliable authority that
the professional career of Harry \.
Pillsbury as a chess player will come
to an end in about two years, after
which lie proposes to devote himself in
earnest to the study Of law.
Before that happens. however, some
important events are likely to take
place, not the least Of which will be
match for the championship of the
world with Lasker. When the latter
was in New York three months ago. he
and Pillsbury had a private confab,
and the subject Of a match between
them was touched upon. Nothing def.
mite can be had concerning this inter.
esting affair until the American cham
pion goes to Europe, which he intends
to do early in 1902, to be gone year
or more.
Pillsbury's fourth tour Of this coun-
try will be brief one, beginning about
the 1st Of September and lasting until
Jan. l. when he and Mrs. Pillsbury will
sail for England While abroad he will
enter all the large tournaments in Eu-
rope, including those at Hanover,
Monte Carlo and Berlin, and will also
tour the continent.
When Pillsbury leaves the profession
al arena for good, there will be no one
to take his place in the realm Of blind
fold chess, for here he has done what
no one else ever attempted. His record
of 20 games simultaneously without
sight OF boards or men stands alone,
aside from the fact that he is able to
combine both checkers and whist. with
his. blindfold chess playing. The cham
pion has such a mastery over the art
that he is confident Of his ability to
handle no less than 80 games Of chess
in this manner. 1t is feat he is ex-
pected to accomplish before he retires.

Wanted For Horse Stealing.
From the Daily Item, Dec. 19.

An officer spent Tuesday night in
the city with a prisoner in charge,
who was wanted for horse stealing in
Georgia. They left yesterday morn
ing for Georgia. 1t seems from the
prisoners story that he had stolen a
young girl for his wife in Georgia
and bad taken buggy and horse from
a livery stable in order to make his
escape. He pawned the buggy and
horse and they took the train for
North Carolina, where he was arrest
ed. While in North Carolina he was
suspected of being connected with the
Cropsey case and placed in jail for
several days. He said he knew Miss
Cropsey, but had nothing to do with
the case, although he did steal his
wife. He claims be did not steal the
horse and buggy.
