A Famous Sea Fight.

From the Kennebec Journal.
The famous sea fight between the Enter
prise and the Boxer, in 1872, took place off
Monhegan, half hundred miles from Port
land, but the event is closely associated
with that city, as the Enterprise sailed
from it's harbor in search Of the British
brig, which it captured after a brief and
bloody battle. Moreover, side by side in
the Eastern cemetery,
I'm their graves o'erlooking the tranquil
bay,
Where they in battle died.
lie both Captain William Burrows of the
Enterprise, who fell in the hour of vic
tory, and Captain Samuel Blyth of the
Boxer, who was also killed in the battle
Both were young men, one twenty Eight
and the other twenty-nine years old. Be-
side his commander lies Midshipman Ker-
win Waters of the Enterprise, aged eight
cen. These graves are much visited The
inscriptions are getting worn, and the Brit
ish vice consul, Keating, is taking steps
to have all three stones renewed and put
in good condition. Portland citizens are
heartily supporting his efforts.

DON'T ABUSE YOUR WATCH

my watch had developed most annoying
irregularity,'' remarked very business-like
woman. 1T lost and gained time by turns
until / conceived the disagreeable impress
sion of having paid first-class price for
third-class article. Full of resentment. 1
posted off to the dealer in chronometers
from whom the watch had been purchased,
and accused him of having treated me un-
fairly.
He opened my timepiece," she contin-
ued, and having examined its internal
economy very close, remarked, It's simply
a case Of unconscious cruelty to a faithful
but sensitive friend These little workers
that tirelessly tick along, even when their
owners are asleep, are worthy of far better
treatment than they receive. Fully ninety
nine per cent of the people who carry
watches never give them a thought.
Take, for instance, the simple process
of winding watch. There is right and
wrong way of doing it. Whether it be by
key or a stem. it should be wound in the
morning. Turn slowly, and avoid all jerky
movements. The watch will then work
best during the day, the spring will exert
its strongest traction power, whereby the
external jostlings inflicted on the watch by
your daily works and walks, are fairly
counterbalanced. When a watch Is wound
at night 1t has only the weakened spring
to offer as resistance to the jerks and 1olts
of the daytime. Inc morning WlnQlng also
lessons the danger of breaking the main
spring which, being no longer at full ten
sion at night can stand the cold better.
'All watches keep better time as the re-
suit of regular habits. Don't lay it down
one night and hang it up the next. Keep
it in the same position as nearly as circum-
stances will permit In second-class
watches the rate difference between the
horizontal and vertical position is often
quite significant. Nor should you hang
your watch on a nail where it can swing
to and fro like a pendulum. 1t will either
gain or lose a great deal while in that po-
Sition.
1.-The difference in temperature between
your breast q mans waistcoat pocket
and a wall, that may be nearly at the
freezing point. is about seventy-seven to
eight-eight degrees Fahrenheit; and a
or laid against a cold surface. Sudden
changes in the temperature of the atmos-
phere are the causes of most mainsprings
breaking. The watch wearer should clean
his or her pockets frequently, carefully
brushing out all dust and fiber, for there
was never a joining made tight enough to
keep out all the dust. This gets into the
oil which has thickened with time, and nee
essarily produces irregularities Of rate.
Even with the greatest care a watch should
be cleaned once in eighteen months, and
every year would be better. By this time
the oil dries up and mixes with metallic
cry. When l tell you that a watch ticks
3SS, 500 times in one day, you can compute
the gigantic task 1t performs In year.
Treat your watch reasonably and 1t will ap-
precate such care, and will serve you faith
fully as friend in need

GREAT BEDS OF SALT,
Kansas Miners n Fourth of a Mile I'm
dergrOund.


From the New York Sum-
Rice county, Kan, is nearly in the center
of the state. 1t lies almost on the border
of that western part of Kansas where as a
well-known writer has said "crops are
very uncertain and the farmer must work
ten days in the week and sleep only on
holidays" Its population in 1900 14745
increased in ten years only by 294 souls
But Rice county has attained a claim TO
distinction that is almost unique in this
country. 1t is mining rock salt nearly a
quarter of mile under ground and has
dug out of this mineral wealth about as
many streets as there are in Lyons, the
capital of the county, little city of some
LOO inha bitants
Fourteen years ago some prospectors
were searching for natural gas or oil when,
much to their surprise, their drill, at a
depth of $50 feet, penetrated a body of rock
salt. They kept their drill at work but it
was not till they had reached depth of
l,loo feet that they got to the bottom of
the thick bed of salt. Several years later a
company was organized to work the salt
bed, and so a shaft was sunk about three
fourths Of a mile from the city of Lyons
The shaft penetrated the bed of salt to a
depth of 265 feet, the bottom of the shaft
being LOGS feet below the surface. There
were thirty or forty feet Of salt below the
bottom of the shaft.
One vein of salt, eighteen feet in thick
ness and of exceptional purity, was selected
for mining, and it is through this vein that
the underground works have been extended.
The bottom of the shaft is the center of
operations and the works extending from
1t resemble the rectangular streets of a
well laid out town. The main streets are
twenty-five feet in width, running east and
west. At frequent intervals they are cross
ed by other streets of the same width, run
ming north and south. From these cross
streets rooms or chambers are dug out,
each having width of fifty feet; and be-
tween each room and the one next to it
pillar of salt is left fifty feet wide, to sup
port the ceiling, or, in other words, the salt
roof over the workings, which is only about
ten feet above the floor. AS this bed is
yielding nearly SOC, 600 barrels of salt every
year it will be readily understood that the
ramifications of these streets far below the
surface have become quite extensive.

camp, and, as may be imagined, competi-
tion was very keen, especially on the Sec
ond day, when most of the finals were de-
cided. Many of the chief sporting men OF
the Rand are here, one being Blignaut, the
champion sprinter. On the evening of tho
18th a select concert was given. Visitors to
the sports and concert were admitted by
special passes, and their reception and
treatment were all that could be desired.
There is rumor to the effect that two
thousand more prisoners are TO be sent
here, and 1t is supposed they will be sent
to Deadwood as soon as the water from
the condensng works has been got up to
camp. At the present time the supply 10
ample, and hundreds of gallons run to
waste daily. 1t is only in the very dryest
months that water runs little short and
then 1t is not only the fault of the springs
from which the water is supplied"

dozen large chestnuts for twenty minutes
then remove shells; throw into cold water
and let remain until the brown, tough skin
can be removed. Cut them in quarters
and sprinkle with salt Peel, core and shred
four large, tart, juicy apples and mix with
the meat of turkey and chestnuts. MoiSten
well with French dressing and garnish with
lettuce and cubes of very stiff cider jelly.
Tripe and Oyster Salad.
Either plain boiled or picked tripe may
be used. Cut into half-ineh pieces and If
the fresh tripe Is used, squeeze lemon juice
over it. Have half one-third the quantity
of oysters pumped in their own liquor and
trimmed. Mix together. Dress with French
dressing and sprinkle with chopped olives
and parsley Bruise a few leaves of sweet
marjoram and allow to soak in the oil for
an hour before making your dressing.
Another way to make a tripe salad is to
take equal quantities of tripe, boiled pota-
toes, spiced beets and a sprinkling of fried
bacon minced fine.
Salad a Ia Jardiniere.
This is a salad made of cold cooked vege-
tables, potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets,
peas, beans, asparagus, caulifower, small
okra pods. etc, arranged with leaves of
chervil, cress and other salad greens. To
get a very pretty effect when fancy and
be cut to resemble flowers as we have de-
scribed elsewhere. Arrange the salad
greens in basket-shaped salad dish, with
the vegetable. flowers scattered among them
Dress with French dressing.
Colonial Fruit Salad.
This was perhaps the first fruit salad
known to the American housewife, but for
merly recognized as a dessert. Arrange al
ternate layers of peeled oranges cut into
chunks and grated or desiccated cocoanut.
Sprinkle with fine white sugar. Shredded
pineapple may be added. Cover the top
with layer of cocoanut and sprinkle
Few candied cherries, rose leaves or VioletS

A FEW REASONS
WHICH ARE RAPIDLY MAKING NEW CA
TARRH CURE FAMOUS,

WHICH ARE RAPIDLY MAKING A NEW CA.
TARRH CURE FAMOUS
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Catarrb cure
has the following advantages other catarrh
remedies:
First: These tablets contain no cocaine NOR
phine or any other Injurious drug and are as sa fe
and beneficial for children for adults This is an
important point when II is recalled that many ca
taTh remedies do contain these very Objectionable
ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this remedy does NOT
deteriorate with age or an exposure TO the air AZ
liquid preparations invariably do
Next: The tablet form not only preserves the
medicinal proprietes. but IL is far more conven-
lent to carry and to use at any time that It IL
only question OF time when the tablet win en-
tirely supersede liquid medicines Il has already
done in the medical department OF the United
States army.
Next: No secret is made OF the comnost,on q,
stuart's Cetarrh Tablets; they contain the active
principles Of Eucalyptus bark. red gum blood roof
and Hydnstin, all harmless antiseptics which.
however. are death to catarrhal germs wherev.r
found. because they eliminate them from the blood
Next: You cannot cure catarrh by local applics-
tions TO the nose and throat because these are SIM
ply local symptoms. and such treatment cannot
possibly reach the real seat Of catarrhal disease
which b In the blood. For this reason fnbalers
doucnes. sprays and powders never really cure ca
tarrh. but simply give temporary relief, which q
dose OF plain salt and water VIII do just as we'll
Catarrh must be driven out OF the system, out o(
the b.ood, by internal remedy. because an In
ternal remedy 10 the only kind which can be a.,
simulated into the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this better than the
old form OF treatment because they contain every
safe specific known to modern science I'm the anti
septic form of the disease.
Next: The OF inhalers and spraying appara-
fuses. besides being Ineffective and Disappointing
is expensive. while a complete treatment OF stu-
arts catarrh Tablets can be had at any drug stora
in the United States and Canada for 20 eentA
