The presidential party received a
flattering ovation from the time the

Tn. Hollow Bone. of Birds.

The hollow bones of birds are fire.
ouently cited as beautiful instances OF
providential mechanics In building the
strongest and largest possible limb
with the least expenditure of material,
and this Is largely true. and yet BIRDS,
like ducks, which cleave the air with
the speed Of an express train. have the
long bones filed with marrow or satu-
rated with fat. while the numbering
hornbiI, that fairly hurtles over the
tree tops, has one of the most complete
ly pneumatic skeletons imaginable,
permeated with air to the very toe tips,
and the ungainly pelican Is nearly as
well of. Still 1t is but fair to say that
the frigate bird and turkey buzzards.
creatures which are most at ease when
on the wing. have extremely light and
hollow bones: but, comparing one bird
with another. the paramount impor-

Cobweba and Cuts.

An old time remedy to stop blood
flowing from cut is to put cobwebs
over it. but from recent discovery 1t ap-
pears a dangerous thing to do. Some
time ago a woman fell and cut her
head, and when her friends hurried to
her assistance they found the blood
flowing from a deep cash. Cobwebs
were applied. and the bleeding quickly
stopped. but in a few days the woman
was taken with lockjaw.
A scientist declared there were lock-
law germs In cobwebs, and that was
the way the woman contracted the dis
ease. He has made quite a study OF
the subject and says that in a handful
of cobwebs he found 81 different dis
ease germs. That being true, 1t Is very
easy to see how one could get not only
lockjaw, but many other dreadful dis
eases, as the cobweb is placed right on
an open wound and the germs can en-
ter the blood. Cobwebs form In dark,
dirty places, and 1t Is not to be won
dered that they gather germs. =, E1-

MORE WORK FOR THE AGRlcUl TuRE
OF MAINE.

Ii Is proposed to enlarge the agricult-
ural work Of Maine by the creation
of dairy bureau. The matter was
under careful consideration during all
the week Of the State grange. The
title of the bill is 10 be, "An Act to
Broaden the Work of the Board Of
Agriculture by the Creating OF Dairy
Bureau of said Board" The act pro-
yides that the Maine Board of Agricult-
ure, in cooperation with the Maine
Dairymen's Association, shall form Il
dairy bureau, consisting Of the president
of said Board of Agriculture, two MEM
bers to be elected by and from the Board
of Agriculture and two members to be
elected by and from the Maine Dairy
mems Association. This bureau to elect
a dairy commissioner, to serve for the
term of three years. The work OF the
bureau and it's executive officer is to be
along practically the same lines as the
work done by the Massachusetts Dairy
Bureau, with the exception that the
educational features are to be made
more prominent. The act also provides
that the dairy bureau may hold annual
dairy conferences and offer prizes; also
that this bureau shall report to the
Board of Agriculture, and that the bills
of the executive officer shall be audited
by the bureau and by the Bosrd of Agri-
culture, and that they shall be paid
directly from the office OF the state
treasurer. An appropriation OF five
thousand dollars is TO be asked for, to
be used by the bureau for purposes as
specified above. This includes the
salary Of the executive officer, which is
to be d teen hundred dollars, and such
extra clerk hire as the additional work
Of the office may require.
The State grange passed strong reso-
lutions favoring this movement, and the
dairymen of the state are In earnest
support of the measure,-Maine Farmer.

DIRECT OUTLET FOR MAINE APPLES

DIRECT OUTLET FOR MAINE APPLES.
We had the pleasure of meeting at
Lewiston last week Mr.. Paul Werner Of
London, England, who is in Maine to
establish apple and produce agencies in
every county in the state, that our fruit
and produce may 60 direct to London
which ut the present time receives but y
small per cent. Of our shipments. He has
nc-; established an agency in Franklin
county, and will extend as he can find
the men he wants. The most popular
varieties shipped now are the Baldwins,
Pippins and Ben Davis, the latter being
excellent sellers because Of the color.
Personally" said Mr.. Werner, II
don't like them very well, but the fact
is they are the best keepers in the world,
and they stand up under the journey
better than any other apple. That Is
the secret Of the whole thing. They
are fine looking apple and they are as
good AS bricks about handling. You
can't bruise them. When you can get
another apple TO do this and Is better
favored We Englishmen will gladly
change. The Ben Davis sell, and We
cater TO popular taste.
The cost of shipping apples to US Is
seven pence half penny to cover all ex-
penses of handling, and five per cent.
commission. All the rest is profit TO
the grower. Your apples are very popu-
lar in England or shouldn't be here on
this business. The market demand is
growing all the time.
Your apples are now going to Liver
pool. We can assure you better results
TO ship directly TO London, notwith-
standing that freights are slightly higher
there than to Liverpool. There is no
reason why the fruit business should
not be one Of the most profitable to
Maine farmers In the future.
We already have an extensive trade
with Maine and we like your apples
very much. There are no better apples
grown. Our English apples are good
but they are not keepers; consequently
we must depend upon America tor our
late apples. Farmer.

A Surgical Operation.

The Army and Navy Journal tells
this story about the late DR.. Lewis A.
Sayre Of New York city:
when a young medical student at
the College Of Physicians and Surgeons
in New York. one Of the operating ply
sicians was about to cut of an Irish
mans leg. but before beginning the op-
Grafton gave a long talk to the students
on amputation. The Irishman lay on
the operating table In full possession
of his faculties and as be listened to
the discourse he grew whittier and whit
er. Finally he jumped from the oper-
ating table. crying: Get me me breech-
es, be COB! I'll die with me leg on
And with that he was out Of the room.
"Dr. Sayre found him several days
later with his knee badly swollen. The
young doctor promptly cut open the
knee, but saved the leg. One day he
had no lint to bind the wound, so ne
used the tow stuffing sticking out Of an
old horsehair sofa. When be called
again, he found the wound so much i'm.
proved that he reasoned that tow dip
ped In Peruvian balsam would not only
disinfect a wound, but would keep 1t
free from pus.
"This was the foundation Of one OF
the most satisfactory successes he ever
had In surgery. It was the means OF
introducing into the army the use OF
tarred hemp. or oakum, as a dressing
for wounds"

SUBSTITUTION IS SUSPICIOUS.

The attempt by dealer to sell bis
customer a substitute in place Of the
article the buyer calls for, at once places
that dealer under the ban OF suspicion.
The only reason why the buyer does not
invariably realize the suspiciousuess OF
substitution and promptly resent 1t
is probably because In many cases the
money transaction involved Is 80 small
that it does not suggest the motive for
fraud.
Look at the question from another
point of view. A sale Of stock Is
advertised. There are horses with ped
igrees and records to be sold. Farmer
Brown attends the sale with the purpose
of buying one Of the good horses. But
the seller says to him, "rhst horse you
want is a good horse, Of course; but I've
got another here that Is just as good,
which I'd like to sell you."
"Has he just as good pedigree%
"Well, NO; he hasn't any pedigree TO
speak Of"
"Has he any record?"
"Well, no, we never had watch on
him that know Of, but he's Just as
good as the horse you want"
Would Farmer Brown buy the '.just as
good" horse? The question answers
Itself; and yet this same farmer will
allow himself to be swindled time and
again by accepting "just as good" ar
ticles In place Of those he called for.
The article he called for has, 80 to speak,
a pedigree and u record. It's standard
ii1 the markets of the world. Yet in
place of this standard article he will
accept q substitute which nobody knows
anything about, an untried, improved
article, which has no record OF value
and no proof Of origin. -.
Let the buyer who Is offered substi-
tute bear in mind that substitution Is
suspicious, and that a substitute always
carries the earmarks Of swindle.-
