Novel Moose Call,

A new kind of moose call. says the
Kennebec Journal, is in use down in
Washington county. 1t is the whistling
buoy near the entrance of Moosabec
reach. and 1t is said to be the cause of
the big bull moose which for several
weeks has been known TO frequent the
shore in that section lingering in that
vicinity. With the wind blowing from
the east the blast of the buoy is heard
several miles inland, and the sound at
this distance is said by old hunters to
closely resemble the trumpetings of
moose. 1t is alleged even that the
wandering moose has been heard to re-
spond with answering call when the
sound of the buoy is heard

and a double steel bottom. capable of
holding 1900 tons Of water ballast.

depend largely upon the fact that she

RESTORING The MIND.
IdIotic Boy Cured by Daring SurEi

A renarka bic surgical operation

said DR.. Sternberg the other day TO a
reporter of the New York Journal
there had been two successful cases
out of ten attempts in Paris. | first
saw the boy in the early part of last
May and gave him frequent examina-
tons. He was quite insane. There was
lack of coordination i'm his muscular
movements. no concentration of mind.
and his eyes were not responsive to
any light of intelligence. | found a
considerable depression on the left side
of the top of the skull, which showed
a great contrast to that of the right
side
Il came to the conclusion that the
boys mental condition resulted from
the undue pressure of the skull upon
the left side of the brain. Partial pa
ralysis of some of the right muscles
and limbs helped me TO this conclusion.
As Is we'll known, an atfiiction of the
left part of the brain affects the limbs

vice versa.

scalp had been laid back in flaps.
with the forceps l chiseled out a
strip of the patients skull about six
inches in length by one and a half
inches wide at the front to two inches
wide at the back.
THAT my diagnosis was correct was
Immediately demonstrated. as the
brain sprung up through the orifice

ment the scalp WAS replaced. One of
the instantaneous results of the opera

seriousness was that the pupils of the

THE TEXAS OIL STRIKE.

The oil strikes in Texas and Southern
California are important chiefly to
those districts alone, outside of the
speculative features of them. AS to the
latter, it may be said that the formation
of gigantic stock companies on mere
land leases, or a small acreage, should
warn the wise investor, or the specula-
tor, to hold aloof. Disastrous collapses
invariably follow such inflated booms.
In an article in Mining and Metal
lurgy it is pointed out that the great
Importance of the Beaumont oil diseov-
cry lies in the fact that it was made in
a region entirely devoid of other min
eral fuel. The Southern Pacific railroad
for example, with an unbroken line
from New Orleans to San Francisco and
which passes within three miles of the
original "geyser" brought in by Captain
Lucas, has practically no coal along it's
$500 miles of length. The company
has been compelled to import most of
its fuel from Alabama, Indian Terri
tory, Colorado and New Mexico. The oil
of Beaumont is said to be an ideal fuel
oil, and there seems to be no doubt as
to a ready and profitable market for
large quantities of it. 1t is reported
that the Southern Pacific is already
making arrangements to change it's To-
comotives from coal to oil burners, and
has planned for large receiving and dis
tributing reservoirs along its line. Other
railways centering in Beaumont and
Houston are likely to do the same. and
manufacturing enterprises already es-
tablished and to be established will
have a bountiful supply of cheap fuel.
If the present indications of a prac-
tically inexhaustible supply be confirm
ed, Beaumont will in a short time be
one of the most important cities in the
State, if not in the South.
The great Texas oil strike, by build
ing up that section, will simply add to
the general prosperity and wealth of the
country. Special interest, however, for
our own coal-producing section. lies in
the fact, pointed out by Mining and Met
allurgy, of the Texas fields close prox-
unity to the Gulf of Mexico and the ia
cilities for water shipment not found
in any other important oil region. The
export trade will certainly be a large
one, and it is within the range of pos
sibiltties to have Beaumont oil displac-
ing coal in the cities on our Atlantic
seaboard.

"THE COMIC SIDE OF IT.v

The announcement from London hat the
Welsh tin plate industry. which has al
ready been stricken by American compe-
tition. and is now menaced by early ex-
tinction, owing to the failure of the en-
pleyers to agree to a scale of wages, pro-
vokes the Boston Journal to remark that
when Welsh tin plate makers moaopo-
lized the market. as they did before the
Mckinley tariff, they had a hard and fast
trust of their own which dictated prices
to the helpless Yankees. and a to the
helpless workmen. : The comic side of
it all is that the protective duty of the
Mckinley tariff was vocifereusly opposed
by the professional foes of monopoly. AS
a practical result it has smashed the mo-
nepoly. '-Intelligencer.

1t is as funny as the assertion that

helpless Yankees" who, since the
passage of the Mckinley bill shutting
out Welsh tinplate and since the organ
ization of the American Tinplate Trust,
have been compelled to pay about dou-

to solve and 1t seems, go often miser-
! ably wrong in their effort toward this
solution.
/ OF the many multiplied instances we
will not speak-instances wherein law
and justice have in their blindness in
tensified wrong and produced suffering
and aggravated misery.
Every great city has its examples of
many sadly directed efforts to do good,
that have resulted only in mangled am
billions.
Some sad cases come to light.
The criminal mutilation of horses,
by docking their tails, is still prac-
aticed. People ride behind these poor
mutilated horses in a glare OF fnery
unmolested-sometimes the poor unfor-
tunate beast being obliged to draw from
four to six and even more supposed in
telligent persons. They should be the
subject of the Humane Society's police
man.
But, should a poor unfortunate
with horses as miserable as himself
be found, the humanitarian idea reaches
forth its powerful arm and clutches
the poor, decrepit beggar, horse, wagon
and all, and perhaps shoots the horse
and allows the wretch to commit sui
eide. as was the case in Paris, but a few
months since.
Does this lessen the evil, or mitigate
the wrong?
An instance of this sort occurred yes
terday evening. You have all seen the
wretched outfits that sometimes meet
the human eye, a starved looking horse
or two, a starved looking man, a
wretched wagon, scarcely able to travel,
the whole outfit the picture of poverty.
Struck, of course, with a humane idea,
we wonder what would be the proper
course. Should we burn the wagon,
shoot the man, or kill the horse? All
are counterparts of each other. Then
we reflect. Did we do all these, would
the problem be solved? 1t is doubtful.
But, with our present law the solu-

THE FIKE TOLL GATES.

Messrs. James w. Ewing and H. N.
Russell, asked by a number of citizens
living out the pike to render an opin-
ion on the rev State law prohibiting
collection of tolls, so far as its applica-
ton to the National pike is concerned,
hold that the law can be enforced, the
resolution of the Board Of County
Commissioners continuing tolls to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
This certainly seems the equitable
view to take of it, and surely embodies
the intention of the legislature. If the
National pike is not a county road and
under the jurisdiction of this law it is
nothing, for it has long passed from
under the control of the United States
government. 1t is now maintained by
the county and is to all intents and pur-
poses and legally a county road
II the county commissioners do not
rescind their action, the case will doubt
less be taken to the courts by the out
the-pike residents.
