Church Suppers.

Many persons interested i'll church
affairs will agree with the Rev. f. B.
Barber i'll his views concerning church
SupperS, fairs, etc, as means OF Cos
pei support. At the same time those
who regret the undue prominence that
is given these festivals will probably
be puzzled to devise means of abolish
ing them without seriously crippling
the resources of the church. At pres
ent the general system of feeding has
assumed such proportions that in most
churches the cook-stove has come to be
almost as indispensable as the pulpit,
while the work of preparing public
feasts and entertainments is carried on
to an extent which in many cases inter
teres seriously with the more important
labors Of the church. These oft-recur-
ring social events" as they are COM
monty called, are not, as Mr.. Barber
says, religious: they are simply means
to an end. The question which con-
fronts the supporters of the church is
whether other and more satisfactory
measures may not be employed to ac-
complish results which at present are
arrived at by a roundabout route of
eating and drinking. If MI. Barber
and his parishioners succeed in solving
the question satisfactorily they will
perform a task which will be of great
benefit to the church. and which will
afford unreasonable relief to those
who work hardest to support it.-West-

Sugar and Molasses.

| To THE EDITOR OF TIE JOURNAL.
| Tie Cuban reciprocity bill before Con

their sugar supply, and the great
changes since the palmy days in Maine
when all the little villages on the coast

Even little Frankfort shipped a large
| amount of cOOperage and received
several cargoes of sugar and molasses
each year. The West India trade in
those days was a great help to

fnery. Years ago in my own sea faring
days | have seel a good many vessels
loading sugar to 90 to Europe or
sugar and lnOIasses for the States Now
it is supposed that great deal more
sugar and molasses is brought to the
states than was the case 40 years ago,
and people want to know how it hap
pens that Maine cuts no figure i'll the
sugar trade today. About the largest
dealer i'll sugar IN this section sells his
sugar at cost and makes up for it ON in

is to blame the merchant or legislation,

business reaches every household in
Maine. And the history of the refinery
in Portland, the tariff on sugar. reel

esting reading for everybody. Also tell
us who pays nine million dollars, or
thereabouts, to the Cnbans: who will
reap the benefit, who will lose nine mil

The State Reform School.


Directly and indirectly for the last
ten years Hon. Fred Atwood of Winter
port has been connected with the man
agement of the State reform school.
While he was serving as a member OF
the Governors council he first became
interested in this institution, and for
the last half dozen y, arS, he has been one
of its trustees Mr. Atwood was IN
Portland last week and made an Official
visit to the school.

We're put into the cells the same as
prisoners in jails. The next supern-
tcndent was Edward " Wentworth, the
rather of the present superintendent,
and for whom the Wentworth cottage
was named. In 1874 upon his recon-
mendation one-half of the cells were
abolished and the dormitory system or
ganiZed. In the next year the other
half of the cells WAS abolished The
congregate plan-all of the school being
in one bull ling continued until 1898,
when the harrington cottage was dedi-
Gated and about thirty boys placed in it.
Some five years ago the Wentworth
cottage was built, this making the sec
ond cottage. The cottage system is a
success, for it gives an opportunity to
separate the different grades Of scholars
and if two more cottages were built it
would be practicable to have a graded
school in the main building. We for
merly used two barrels of Kerosene a
week, while now we are lighted by elec-
tricity. The new heating plant is also
a success and is up to date. The present
uperintendent, f. p. Wentworth, has
been connected with the school for over
twenty years and is one of the best men
for the place IN the country.

Palermo's Soldiers.

Adjutant General Farnham has re-
ceived a copy of the records of the
town of Palermo, giving the names of
the residents of the town who died in
the service of the country or in colse-
quence of wounds or sickness incurred
therein, from April II, 1861, to Sept. 10,
1860. The list comprises the names of
IS, and it gives the age at enlistment,
company, regiment, vessel, cause of
death, place of same and the date
thereof
There are few towns in Maine having
a more honorable record than Palermo.

Their Tongues Betray Them.

And still they come. Linguistology
is the last craze in Paris. If one pre-.
fers to call it glossomancy, well and
good. Under either name it means
tongue reading and it threatens to com
pete with palmistry, says the New York
Sun.
That tongue may tell the character
OF the owner is safe proposition. A
tongue may even, to expert eyes, tell
the condition of the owners liver and
from such data many conclusions may
be reached. Given the state of a mans
liver, history and prophecy both seem
possible to even the average logician.
But llnguistology has to do only with
the shape and form OF the tongue. A
big tongue, it seems, indicates frank
ness; short tongue, dissimulation;
long and broad tongue, garrulity and
generosity; narrow tongue, concentra-
ton and talent; Short broad tongue,
garrullty and untruth. The man with
a very short and narrow tongue is a
liar OF true artistic merit.
The disclosures of linguistology may
be thrilling, but palmistry has one ad-
vantage which guarantees it's suprema-
cy over the rival science. The subject
need not stop talking during palmist's S
reading.

FOR ONE CENT
You Can Cure a Bad Cold
With Minard'S Liniment.

A good-sized bottle of Minard's Lini-
ment costs twenty-five cents, and it
contains enough medicine to cure
twenty-five ordinary colds. Because
it bears the name ointment many
people imagine that it is simply a
remedy TO rub on your Joints for pains
No one ever made a greater error
Minard's S Iiniment is no more confined
to "painS - the usual limitations of
hniments - than sugar is limited to the
sweetening of your coffee. NIinard's
Liniment is medicine, powerful
medicine, that cures internal as easily
as external ills. 1t is the grandest
thing ever made for Group, colds, sore
throat, dlphtheria, and pneumonia,
and has saved more than one life by
clearing out the congestion in the
bronchial tubes at the last moment.
after everything else has failed. But
it does beat all how Minard's Liniment
will stop lameness, soreness, sprains,
and pains. 1t is safe to say that no
living person ever used it without
being benefited. If you have a sore
spot or an ache anywhere on your
body, just give it a good rubbing and
you'll see the Llnlment soak right
through the skin before your very
eyes, and hardly before you know it you
are cured.

Smith, for instance. The day her letter
was received, twenty-seven others of

Canned Goods in the South West.

The SouthWesterner gets his living
from tin cans. There surely was never
such region for canned vegetables,
canned meat, canned fuit, canned soup,
canned milk, canned cheese. Empty
tin cans form a charmed circle about
every Southwestern town and camp
Even where he can proftably and easily
produce his own food, the Southwest
erher seems to prefer to raise some ex-
elusive crop, sell his product, and buy
canned goods. 1t is amusing enough to
discover that the cattle-rancher though
thousand COWS come up to water at
his tanks every day or two, will yet
serve condensed milk from cans that
come from New Jersey, that his beef
bears the mark Of Kansas City, that
even his poultry and eggs are imported
at enormous prices from Kansas. His
butter also comes canned. If it were
not for the patient Chinese gardener,
even the best-irrigated valleys would be
without fresh vegetables. But if the
SouthWeSternerf fails In garden-making,
he does delight in flowers, vines and
shade-trees. They relieve the monotony
OF the gray desert, and link him with
his old green home in the East. He
will let his fields 60 thirsty in time of
drought before he will allow the rose
bushes and the pepper-tree in his front
yard to suffer. Indeed, so industrious
has he been in surrounding himself
with shade and verdure that he is open
to criticism for OVERRIDING the matter
overcrowding his small grounds. An
irrigated valley town in blossom is a
marvel long to be remembered.-R
