Maine Sardines.

The sardine packing season now draw
ing to close on the eastern coast of
Maine has been one of the most success
full in the history of the industry, the
catch of behring's having been very large
and all the factories operated to their
full capacity. The only drawback has
been the high price of tin plate, vast
quantities of which are used in the
manufacture of the little boxes in which
the fish are packed. Eastport supplies
the bulk of the sardine trade of the
United States, and the extent of the
business may be estimated from the fact
that last season 100000 was paid in
freight charges on shipments to various
parts of the country from that port
alone. The cost of the material. used
in the packing of the fish at PASSPORT
last season was as follows: Tin plate.
100000; solder, 100000; oil, s2so,ooo;
mustard, 100000; herring, known to
commerce as sardines, 1915, 900; pack
ing boxes, $50, 900; decorating tin cans,
$4,000; labor, ss25,0OO; bringing the
total cost of the product for 1900 up to
81 $50. OOO

The men who are accustomed to say
and think that women can never be
mathematicians will be surprised to
know that, according to the annual
register of the American Mathematical
Society, no less than twenty-five men,
bers of that society are women, and
that a woman, Professor Scott, is a
member of the council. Women can
figure, and don't you forget it.-Boston
Daily Globe.
Woman's influence in public affairs
will be beneficial or mischievOus, ac-
corling to the motive which prompts
its exercise If she is honestly and in
diligently interested, she can do good
and strengthen society. If she is
vain trifier and a mere society woman"
bent on making herself conspicuous,
she is pretty sure to work mischief if
she gets into politics.-ot. Louis Post
Dispatch.
Almost every day we see evidences
of the widening sphere of woman's in
dustrial and professional activity.
Women by the thousand are engaged
now in many occupations from which
they were excluded only a few years
ago. Their success and usefulness in
almost every line they have attempted
is fast beating down the remnants of
feudal prejudice against the employ
ment of women, is charging the gener-
al estimate of woman's capabilities and
helping on the cause of equal compen-
sation for women who do as much work
as men and yet receive less for it, OBJ

Names Common Schools.

The common school system of Maine
is divided into three classes, primary,
intermediate and grammar. Last year
there were 4,21s schools, of which num-
Der 1888 were graded. During the
year there was an attendance of 100, 91S,
a little more than one-half of the per-
sons between the ages of four and
twenty-one in the whole State. The
value of all the property in the various
common school property, is stated to
be $4,699,475. The total amount of
money expended last year for the pub
lie schools of Maine aggregates 81, 701,-
1888, of which amount the State con-
tributed $52O,O19. The rest was raised
by the towns. Under the State law no
town shall raise less than so cents for
each inhabitant, and this money must
be used for school purposes.

form is tornenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning

it will keen the skin irritated.
