THE TULIP MARX EFT.

The tulip market wasn't quite as good Friday and Saturday as it has been, and here are some indications that it will not be any better soon. If the stories told can be believed many of the dealers in tulips have sold their bulbs and made more or less enormous fortunes ill so doing. The size of these fortunes ranges anywhere from $35, ,000,- 900 down, and the widest dreams of av- arice seem to have been more than full filled in many cases. It has been a gay old time, and the tulips have blossomed out eovaeously. Perhaps there isn't anything really new under the sun, but the tulip gardens of these days are more glorious than any similar gardens have ever been. It will be gloomy for many when the bloom is off the tulips, but until then joy can be unconfned

a perpetual problem.
 Freckles are divided into two classes: Cold or constitutional freckles, and summer or light freckles. The latter fade gradually, or yield for a time, at least, to mild lotions. The former re- quire almost heroic treatment, which then frequently brings disappointment. It is impossible truthfully to ''guaran- tee" freckle cure. The very situation of the Sfreckle--below the surface--of- fers an obstacle. One difficulty in the way of their removal lies in the wide difference in the texture of different skins. A freckle lotion that will have no effect upon ones complexion will ir- ritate and blister that of another.
 The chief ingredient which enters into many frackle lotions is acid. An acid will bleach the spots when 1t reaches them. It must have usually something to draw them nearer to the surface. Ordinary massage of the face will do this gradually and by promot- ing the activity of the skin in man. her prevent the small deposits of iron.

TIME IT, HIN NOIrCED.

This is such big country that some
 of the little things that are going on in it do not get the attention they merit.
 For instance, the way the Chippewa
 Indians are being robbed of the pine on
 their reserva tions. General c. c. An
 drews, chief forest fire warden of Min
 nesota, has made careful investiga-
 ton of their pine forests, which he es-
 inmates to be worth about 5000, 900.
 The trouble is that contracts are given
 at so much thousand for cutting and
 hauling the dead and down" timber
 As these contracts prove very profita-
 ble the lumbermen do not confine them
 selves to the dead and down" timber, but cut large amount of sound, green timber, which is sold with but little re- gard for it's real value. Worse than this, he is suspicious that forest fires have been set for the purpose of giv- ing the lumbermen an excuse to get into the woods. He saw some 100000 feet of timber that had been cut, and fully 70 per cent. of this was sound and General Andrews points out that there is a remedy for this abuse that can easily be applied. There are, he says, plenty of young Ameri- cans already trained in theoretical and practical forestry who could be given charge of these forests, to the advan- tage of the whole country as well as the Chippewa Indians. If these forests were nursed, and only the matured trees cut and marketed leaving the young trees to grow, it would increase the value of the reservation immensely At the same time, if the cutting was done

A farmers wife writes to the Amerf- can Agriculturist that 1t has been her good fortune to take summer boarders for the past seventeen years, and she
 sums up her experiences thus: q have had boarders of all ages, from the baby
 with it's nurse to the aged grandmother,
 but my favorites are maiden ladies and school teachers. They are most always contented."
 A farmers wife who has taken sum- mer boarders for seventeen years has had experience enough to qualify her to be good judge of summer board- CTS. and when she pronounces in favor of maiden ladies and school teachers her pronouncement is entitled to re- spect. We suppose the farmers wife means that maiden ladies and school teachers" when they become summer boarders do not become unreasonable and inconsiderate as some others who become summer boarders do They are contented with the reasonable return which "a farmers wife" gives for the board money that is paid her, and they have just as good a time as they can. That is what they become summer boarders for, and they show good sense in appreciating their comforts and put ting up with their discomfol ts. It has long been known that maiden ladies and school teachers have many merits, and the testimony of farmers wife to their good quality as summer boarders Is pleasing

r-------- CELEBRATING BLAINE'S TLFC-
 TTnNT


 The Kennebec Journal kept an enor- nous eagle at the head of it's columns for week CT more, claiming large majority for Blaine and Logan in the electoral college But 1t became more and more evident as time wore on that republican hopes were growing dim and that democratic assurance was increas- ing approximately. Nevertheless the national republican committee still claimed the victory, and every evening for perhaps ten days after the election there were rival celebrations on the streets of Augusta. The feeling ran high and it was feared that there might be quarrels and possibly hloodshed.
 was in MT Manley's office the night of the last republican celebration. He did not approve of allowing the farce (for such 1t had beco,ne) to continue, and when a local politician came in to collect money to buy fireworks for the crowd he exclaimed i'll humoredly: Whats the use of letting them make fools of themselves any longer?" Let them have their fun while they can" was the grim reply The paraders got their fireworks, but those were the last.
 Still we hoped against hope. The vote in New York was so close that there was a possibility an official recount might change the official result, and the Journal refused to concede the elec tion until that had been completed. At noon On the Saturday following election day in accordance with the instructions of tIai, no tiopoI onrr, o1ittaa tha danna- crats celebarted their victory by ringing bells and firing cannons But 1t was not until Monday November 1T, fort night lacking one day after the election, that the Journal finally acknowledged defeat.

CHINESE THIEVES AsPoL1cEMEN


 The highest qualification that a po- liceman can have is that he is an ex- pert thief. He has been trained in schools of thieves and can detect in ey-
 cry burglary or outrage by Its details
 to which school of crime the perpetra tor belongs. But he is only a thief
 wearing official clothes and he merely catches enough thieves Ito save him. self a beating, and then he selects strangers or those who have failed to give him his proper share of the plum der from his own district. When q police officer has made his "deaP' with a thief or gang nothing short of awful tortures by his superiors, the local magistrates and judges, will cause the policeman to capture the gang who are making his fortune as well as their own. Jn certain towns, not thirty Ii from PelSin, live some highly respected men of wealth, noted for their correct lives, their virtue and probity. Their houses are castles and they have many servants. Once or twice a year they go to visit friends in Pekin. During their brief stay are committed some daring and successful robberies, always in the houses of the rich, and articles of great value are taken. The victims are peaceably drugged by the perfume of burning anaesthetic, which the thief avoids by filling his mouth with cold water and taking little breath. Quickly, by the aid of his fire-pan, he locates the gold and precious stones, and then he vanishes into the night and leaves no trace to the vulgar gaze of his coming and going.
 5 These are the great thieves, and they are rarely caught They work alone, and in evil deeds they follow the Scriptural advice to charity, Let not thy left hand know what thy right is doing" I asked a Chinese magistrate why the police did not pay friendly visit to the palaces of those great men of probity and virtue. But he shook his head. It would be rash thing to do. There are stories that when the police have tried they either found nothing but an indignant man of such virtue that his outcries aroused the neighborhood, and the minions of the law had to flee, or every policeman dis appeared and rumor has it that the cas- tie court yard in that village is their tomb-Sydney Adamson in Leslie's Weekly.

OMNIPOTENT FAITH.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne even as I
 also overcame, and am set down with
 my Father in His one--Revelation
 H., 21.
 This is a most astounding and at first sight an incredible promise. The words belong to the symbolism in which the Oriental mind delights to express itself, but behind the symbol is fact which rests or spiritual law
 A throne suggests power, power so nearly limitless that 1t oversteps the boundary of what we call miracle; q power which can force even adverse circumstance to do it's bidding and wrest from alleged misfortune victory in place of the defeat which might nat urally be expected.
 TO translate the text, then, into our modern thought, it means that, if a man is at one with God he can borrow Gods power with which to meet and c0nquer the ills Of life, th9t the prime necessity of the soul is to be right and to do right; that the whole universe is on the side of truth and justice, that he who loves the truth and is just in all his dealings has the heavens behind him, and, though crucited on earth, will come to his own after death.
 Evil, whether it be personal or na- tional, may prevail for a time and even crown itself with the laurel of apparent success, but the laurel shall fade, the crown shall fall and the soul be left with nothing but the bitterness of re- morse. Goodness. virtue, honesty, have in them an element of omnipotence, and in the end will sit on throne, while wrong can, in the long run, no

TREATMENT OF FREcKLEs.

The fact that freckles are the usual penalty exacted by nature for the be- stoWal of a delicate complexion in no way compensates any daughter of Eve for their unWalconle presence, The poet may call them "the kisses of Apollo" but she prefers to dispense with the attentions of the sun-god.

AN INTER EsTING OPINION.

| A very interesting opinion has been
 Massachusetts on pending bill, provid- ing that contractors on public work, in counties and municipalities, shall pay wages equal to those paid by the state for similar work, and that the hours of |eovereign, may regulate the terms upon
 which it's agents may employ labor, the
 attorney general says, the same is true
 of counties. which are merely political
 divisions, established for convenience.
 But 1t is different as to the towns. While
 they are political creations of the state,
 they also exist as private corporations,
 and in this capacity may hold property
 and may enter into contracts relating
 thereto. It would be clearly objection
 abe the attorney says, to pass a stat
 ute to require a town to pay a price
 for its fire apparatus in excess of the
 price of such apparatus in the open 
 market He thinks the legislature has right to fix the salary of public muni- cipal officers, like the mayor or police- man, but not the wages oi mere employ es who have no part in the government of the state or of the town. This dis tinction is clearly established by the courts. The bill in question is. there- fore, an interference with the right Of a town to manage It's own municipal af- fairs in matters having no connection with it's political existence. It amounts directly to the appropriation of muni- cipal property for the benefit of in dividuals. The placing of a referendum upon the measure in his Judgment does not save it.

X Great care is being taken that no ac- cident shall happen to the presidents train. A pilot engine is kept ahead to give warning of misplaced switch or loosened rail. Every agent along the route has received instructions to per- sonally see that his switches are in po- sition and his track clear. All the bridges have been inspected, all the freight trains have been sidetracked for many hours, and all the passenger trains have been given ample time to leave the main track unobstructed for the passage of the presidents special. When night comes men are stationed beside the switch lights and the switches until the presidents train has safely passed.

Dr. Barrett of the National Associa- ton of Splritualists thinks the cause is on the decline. He said to the New York convention of Spiritualists: T am going to tell you an unpleasant truth. In twenty-one states our local societies are steadily decreasing. Very few less than twenty are doing anything to ad- vance the great cause. We had between 300 and 700 societies and lyceums sever- al years ago. and now we have less than sixty. It is because we are not working together.

The Tulip Craze.

About the middle of the seventeenth
century the tulip became known In
Germany, and scientist named Ges-
ner gives the first description Of this
flower. First only the yellow variety
vas known, and then other colors were
produced by crossing. The Dutch. par
ticularly the citizens Of Harlem, pro-
duced the most wonderful varieties Of
this flower and obtained enormous
prices for them.
In 1884 the trade in tulips assumed a
peculiar turn. 1t degenerated into a
sort Of game of chance, so that in
1878 the authorities felt called upon to
interfere and to issue edicts against
extravaganza in tulips, as they former
ly had against trains and laces. This
interference would seem to be justified
If - reads that in 1906 single flower
Of eLlis sort, called the viceori, was
paid for with two cargoes of wheat.
four cargoes of rye, four fat oxen.
eight fat hogs, ~ f sheep. two casks
Of wine, four barrels of beer, two tons
of butter, 1000 pounds Of cheese. a
complete bed. suit Of clothing and a
silver tankard.
Another bulb, the Semper Augustus,
was paid for with 4,0O0 gold guilders
and a coach with double team of
horses. In HARLEM the tulip craze
reached its height in the decade from
1880 to 1640, when price Of 10000
gold guilders (about $4,000 American
money Is recorded for single bulb.
