What is now known as Millinocket.
the magic City" of Maine. was a bleak
wilderness, threaded by an idle stream,
three years ago. Now town of 2,1OO
people is located on the spot, and the
transformation has been effected by
the erection of one mill, the largest
pulp and paper plant in the world.
Millinocket now has 300 dwellings, Il
modern hotel with steam heat, pOrce-
lain baths. electric lights and elevator;
several smaller hotels and boarding
houses, dozens of stores, several
churches, sixteen thousand dollar
schooIhouse, waterworks, electric street
lights, telegraph and telephone, excel
lent railroad accommodations and a
thcater The mill employs GOO men
and makes 240 tons of white paper
daily. which is shipped to points as dis
tant as Australia. All the men at Mil
linocket get high wages, and the town
is the most prosperous place of its size
in Maine. The mill grnds 60,O00,000
feet of logs into pulp every year and
has 1S,00O,000 feet of logs in one pile
for present use.

suffered. With The idea of improving
the place one real estate man has plan
ned an addition IN the resident section
which will add materially to the ap-
pearance of the town. A wide drive
way will be built with central grass
plot, grass plots along the sidewalks,
deep lawns, houses of uniform style
and location, and to add to the parklike
features he proposes to have a lake and
a pretty square with fountain. The
streets will be lined with shade trees.
and this addition will be the beauty
spot of the town. The work on the
driveway was to have been started last
fall, but was prevented by delay oc-
casioned by the sale of part of the prop
crty, but as soon as the weather will
permit the contractors will begin work.

WHERE BEAUTY PAYS.
Appearance of Paris Worth Millions
to Her People.


A large number of pcople-the ma
jOrity, in fact--have no consciousness
of the dcSirability of beauty in Il city
or town, says Charles Coffin in Worlds
Work. With them the highest consid-
Grafton is the convenience or discOm-
fort Of the city life, and in this re-
spect such enormous improvements
have been made within recent years
that the city seems to represent every
thing that could be desired. What is
this beauty anyway" they cxclaim.
Perhaps they were in Paris during
the exposition, when the omnibus sys-
TEN proved itself entirely inadequate
to accommodate the crowds who wish
ed to be carried. They came home and
rallied against the mseres of it and
extolled the superiority of their own
system and rapid transit, though the
latter Is not without its drawbacks.
Then they did not have a decent steak
all the time they were in Paris, and
the Oysters-but the foreigners don't
know what oysters are. Every time
it is the cOnveniences and comforts or
the lack of them upon which they
harp.
The dignity or beauty of Paris, while
it cannot have escaped their notice at
the time, has not been brought home ill
their hearts as thing that it would be
desirable to emulate in New York. Yet
if they had learned from the foreign
ers any wrinkle that would improve
their own business they would be quick
to adopt it.
Yet may not this same beauty be
just such wrinkle? | think 1t Is
worth to the Parisans about S2OO,O00,-
600 year. Paris caters for the world.
and its main store in trade is its beau
ty, which it keeps on increasing, and
the treasures of its works of art Poor,
impoverished Italy! Where would she
be today if it were not for the beauty
of her cities, much of it created 100 or
500 years ago, on which she is now
gathering dividend of $90,O0O,OOO an
nually?

OBNOXIOUS POSTERS.
A Good Newspaper Advertisement
Worth an Acre of Them.

A Good Newspaper Advertisement
Worth an Acre of Them.
Paris can stand it no longer, and
now some of her most distinguished
artists are up in arms at the distigura
ton of the streets by posters i'll the
crude horrors of colors which greet the
eye in the streets of the city, says News
papcrlOm NJ. EdOuard Detaille, the
famous painter of military subjects, it
is said, is particularly inccnsed on ac-
count of the enormous tlaring posters
of Barnum's circus that have been
flooding Paris for weeks past.
A good, sensible, well displayed ad-
vertisement in any first class newspa-
per is worth an acre of penny plain
and tuppcnce cOlOred paper spread
over dead walls or hid away in the
hooks and corners of any big city. Ev-
cry person reads the newspapcr-at
least on this side of the Atlantic-now-
adays, and they are pretty close read
ers, too, and it is not reasonable to
think that they can be influenced to
buy additional tickets because in the
crude horrors of colors they see circus
horses and acrobats in impossible posi-
tions or buy more oil because they per-
ccive some very sickly looking geese
following a very stupid looking kid.
In many quarters there has been Il
disposition evinced to dispense with
the poster to a large extent. Posters
may serve good purpose out in the
sparsely settled districts, but even i'll
these places the newspapers have the
entry and can inform their readers
much more intelligently and interest
ingly than the glaring poster. A well
written advertisement properly placed
is the surest medium of communication
for the buyer and seller.
