action of the probate court and sent
the case back to appoint as an admin

within any of the preferred classes
enumerated in the statute, such as
creditor, If any such should be found,
and If none SO found were qualified to
act, to appoint any one who, In his dis
cretion, he believed to be qualified to
act as administrator. Ed Fluke was
appointed by the probate judge, and on
the strength of his appointment M. p.
Stamm, who was an applicant for the
position of administrator, took an ap-
peal, basing his contention that he
tFluke) could not act under sections
1868 and 1864 of the statutes. Judge
Baker sustains the appeal.
Yesterday the case of Henry Lock-
hart ct al. VS.. H. c. Leeds, ct al, was
heard on demurrer of defendants to
the amended bill of complaint. After
prolonged argument, the court sus-
tanned the demurrer. The court held
that as Judge McFie had passed upon
the demurrer to the original complaint
and sustained the same, and there be-
| ing no new matter in the amended
complaint, he could only follow in the
footsteps Of Judge McFie and sustain

the ground that the cause of action

Burns from Cold Substance,

That man can sustain serious
burns from small quantity of cold
mineral substance carried in his pock-
ct seems almost too absurd for belief,
yet there is no doubt that this para
doxical accident has taken place. 1t
is now well known that Roentgen rays,
If sufficiently intense and in sufficient
ly long duration, exercise a destruc-
tive action upon the skin, which peels
off and leaves an open sore that is
slow to heal. The similar rays given
out by certain minerals and called
Becqueral rays. after their discover
er, now appear to be capable, at very
short range, of :nlicting burns" also.
1t has been recently announced that
the invisible rays emitted by radium,
one of these substances, have an es-
pecially active effect upon the human
skin.-Literary Digest.

Boots and Prosperity.

Some years ago was talking with
one of our leading boot manufac-
turers. and himself very acute man.
He told me that long experience had
shown him that the sale of boots is
sure barometer of the prosperity of
the country, so far as the working
class were concerned. If things are
going well people buy new boots when
their old ones have worn out; if the
reverse, they do not, but make SHIFT
without new purchases. And he in
stanced Ireland, where he had large
trade output, as an instance of this.
When, therefore, | hear that the boot
business is not flourishing, | know
what that means. Although it can
not be said to be absolutely bad, yet
there is already shrinkage in sales
at home, owing to the effect of the
war on the resources of the wage
earning class.-London Truth.

the sawmills in the Province of New
Brunswick, although the land is owned
by residents of Maine. The contem-
plated extension of the Bangor Il
Aroostook railroad from Ashland to
Fort Kent will bring this timber to
the Maine pulp and sawmills, where
it rightfully belongs.
In the opinion of Mr.. Ring, the
amount of spruce now standing in
Maine has been greatly underestimate
ed Good judges say that there is
now standing in the state not less than
27,OOO, 100000 feet of spruce, and they
say that this, with the increase by
growth, is sufficient to keep all the
sawmills and pulp mills fully supplied
for an indefinite period.
The total log cut in Maine is about
6OO,OOO,000 feet annually, and half of
this is used by the pulp mills. Some
regard the coming of the pulp mills
as calamity, but a prominent pulp
manufacturer points out that the pulp
mill is blessing rather than a curse,
because in making tree into paper
ten times as much money is expended
as in making the tree into lumber.
III the spruce is to be cut" says
this pulp man, why not get as much
benefit from it as possible 2"-New
