For The Public Health.
JOHN F. HILL

Supt. Of Schools Stuart has had a
good piece of work done on the drain
near the School street grammar school
building.
One branch of the water course
which drains this entire section of
Ellsworth, runs near the schoolhouse.
The culvert across the Lincoln street
extension, near the schoolhouse,
caved in last spring. This backed up
considerable water, and made worse a
condition which was bad enough be-
fore. The pool of stagnant and con-
taminated water near the school was
a menace to the school children and
the neighborhood. To remove it, a
substantial stone culvert was built
across the Lincoln street extension,
and the water course was dug out and
cleared from all obstruction from that
point to School street.
The water now has free ,fowage to a
point just back of the John NJ. Hale
stable, which should receive attention
Immediately from the property
owners on which it exists, or from
the store keepers on the north side of
Main street, who are the greatest
sufferers because of it.
The old wooden covering of the
drain at this point has fallen in and
obstructs the flow of water. In times
of heavy rains or spring thaws, the
drain overflows here and floods cellars
of stores in the vicinity.
1t is only a short distance from the
point where the obstruction is to the
stone drain which crosses Main street
near the Whiting store. 1t is esti-
mated that it would cost not more
than $40 or $50 to clear the drain and
cover it substantially. This, it is be-
iieved, would remove all danger of
flooded cellars from this source in the
future.
The drain is on private property,
and it is not within the province of
the city authorities to make the
needed repairs. 1t may be in the
province OF the board of health to
order the repairs made by the prop
srty owners, but it seems as if the

shoots Man by Mistake and Then
Runs Away.
Leslie Bowker, OF Msrshfield, was hunt
ing on the Mschiss river last Saturday,
when lie was shot by some one hunting in
the vicinity.
Bowker was crossing an open Held.
The report OF a rifle rang out from the
woods near by, and ball penetrated
Bowker's thigh. The hunter who shot
him ran away.
Bowker buckled his belt tightly about
his wounded leg to stop the flow OF blood,
and tried to drag himself out to where he
could find assistance. He fell after going
800 yards. His calls finally attracted
attention of party OF hunters. He was
carried to his hoRe seven miles away,
where he died Monday from loss OF blood
and exposure.

This water course is one of the
greatest blessings to the city because
of the drainage it affords, but at the
same time it becomes a menace if not
kept properly cleared of distractions.

Miss Peterson, OF Philadelphia, who has
built a summer cottage at Colts Island,
has set a commendable example by giving
to her home the original French name of
the island, "Petit Plsisaunce," thus re-
storing the name given 1t by the French
explorers In the seventeenth century.
Our fremont correspondent, in referring
to tits, calls attention to the change in
name OF anot her island, originally "Grapd
PIaisaunce", later, robsbly by corruption
of the original name, "Piaizench," and
later to "Plscentia", by which name 1t
was known by Whittier who in his "Mogg
Megone" speaks of "fair Plscentis's Isle''.
1t is pity that more OF the historical
names of Maine islands and places are not
retained. In the case of PIscentis island,
we can forgive the change out OF courtesy
to the Quaker Poet", bat how much
prettier, to say nothing OF it's historical
vaiue, would be "Petit Plaisaunce" or
the Angiicized Little Pleasant" island

Simpson homestead, has had fine flock
OF twenty turkeys. She reduced the num-
Der to thirteen, and decided to leave them

duced to stay at the Hill homestead, hav-
ing never wandered 30 far from home.
They were left alone Saturday morning,
at night fed, and shut in. Sunday morn
ing, they were let out and fed. About IL
O'Clock they arrived at their relations"
from whom they had received some milk
all summer, looked wistfully in at the
parlor windows, and showed great delight
at being noticed. They remained all day,
going In with the hens at night. Monday
they started home, the old turkey going
to her nest to leave an egg. In the after
noon they returned, and are making
themselves perfectly at home. Such intel
ligence deserves q better fate than the

Situated near the lake was the Art
Gallery. In this we were disappointed,
as the fine paintings were but lew in our
party's judgment. The statuary was
on the whole quite good, but in all was
quite insignificant compared with the
Worlds Fair.
Close by was the IT, s. Government

used in rescuing people from wrecks,
comprising: Surf-boat drill. landiag
people from "a wreck by breecbes buoy,
rescue aud resusctatioD OF an apparent

Jackets and Rifle Men in the Esplanade,
is worth much to one who lives far from
military town.
The grand display of fireworks, cost
lug some three thousand dollars, which
were put off on the lake from floating

ment made in that line. One OF the
pieces, the bombardment Of fort,
clearly showed what one could expect
