Concerning Comfort Bags.

DEAR WORKERS.: All, or nearly all, the
Unions have received personal letters con-
corning comfort bags for the soldiers. 1t is
a plan in which all, whether members of
the union or not, can join. Have a sewing
bee some day to make and fill the bags; or
take them home and fill them leisurely. All
should be in by the last of March Send
them to % High street, Belfast, and / will
pack and forward them. Make the bag of ere
tonne, ex10a. Turn down all inch and a
half of the length, and run in a drawing
string. Sew small pieces of flannel inside
to prevent the needles from rusting. Fill
with thread, pins, scissors, buttons, yarn,
court plaster, a little roll of bandages, pen
Gil, stationery, wristers, leaflets, letter-a
motherly, bright one,-a testament, etc.
We are all interested in the meeting of
the National W. c. T. U. in Portland next
October. Every resident of Maine will feel
thrill of pride If at the close of that
great convention it can be said: 1t led
all the others. Everyone in Waldo County
can help to make it true that Maine shall
"lead.' Please do not hold off, but join
hands for prohibition, purity and peace.
Will every union holding services Feb
18th, or later, please send special, though
brief, mention to The journal.

We know of no liniment but Ninard's

some othel ingredient that is not pleas
ant to handle. Take any one Of them
but Minard's and the base is oil, which is
supposed to reach the seat of inllamma-
ton by an external application. Some
oils penetrate, while others could be
rubbed all day without going through
the pores of the skin. Minard's Lini-
ment is different from anything ever pre-
pared for the purpose of allaying pain.
1t will soak through the skin in Nv
seconds, and find its way direct to me

ton simply to rub on your legs, or Your
arms or back, but is as much an in
ternal as an outward remedy. There
was never anything made to compare
with it for instantaneous action in Group,
coughs. colds, pneumonia, diphtheria,
and grippe. 1t actslike tnaei', and has
saved the lives of more children than
anything ever made. Thousands of
homes keep it for this purpose alone,
but it is an ever-ready, never failing
friend for dozens of other ailments.

years may pass without a successful
vintage. But the old Monks still cult
vate it with greatest care, and it is
said the royal houses of Europe are
familiar with the mysteries of the mon-
astery cellars. Since the capital of the
grape-raisers is their vineyards and
stored wines, they devote much time
and labor to the management of both.
Great care is bestowed upon the selec
ton of the cuttings, great nicely in
planting and pruning The soil is al
ways kept clean, properly irrigated, and
cleared of insects and weeds: and if by
such treatment fifty pipes year of
tolerable wine is produced, the proprie-
tors fortune is made Instead of
keeping their wines in cobwebby Gel
lars tire Madeira merchants store theirs
above ground: but the sun is carefully
excluded from the ''bodegas," or ware
houses, and they are kept cool and
sweet. Some OF them contain as much
as a thousand pipes of wine, of differ
ent vintages and denominations, rang
ing in price from two dollars a gallon to
the largest sum that the most extrava.
giant wine-bibbers would care to pay.
Though all the commoner wines of
the island are designated abroad by the
general name of Madeira" there is as
much difference between them as be-
tween champagne and whiskey. Some
dry, some full-bodied, some with a
fruity taste, some light, others heavy;
some would have just suited the &C
customed taste Of our sturdy grand
fathers, and others are better adapted
to the weaker modern capacity. They
vary in color, too, from darkest red to
palest amber, and in odor as one flower
differs from another.
l have not yet seen an intoxicated
person in Madeira, and it is said that
there is absolutely no drunkenness
among the natives The same rule
seems to hold good in all wine produc-
ing countries. Neither in Portugal,
France, nor Spain, nor on the Rhine,
nqrip beer-guzzling Germany does one
seDmillioEth part of the inebriety
which disgraces the United States of
America. In Madeira, where wine is
drank much more commonly than wa
ter, a person who once becomes intoXi-
Gated is looked upon as something worse
than thief. The natives say that
necessity may compel one to steal, but
nothing save his own degraded inclina-
tons can lead him 10 drunkenness.

W. S. STRATTON who died at his home in
Colorado Springs Sunday night was of the COM
paratively small number of very rich in
America who acquired fortunes entirely through
their own efforts, and not through the skillful en-
ployment of other men by manipulating the stock
market Ten years ago MI. Stratton was carpenter
working for the regular wage of carpenters. He
spent half his time at his trade and the other half
working on claim he had staked out on Battle
Mountain in Cripple Greek. He knew something of
mining and had unbounded faith in the future of
his claim-a faith which long continued disappont-
ment and the eers of rrospectors failed to shake.
The miners called him chat crazy carpenter
Battle Mountain" There is story current in
Cripple Creek-which may easily be the truth-that
on the day Mr.. stratton finally struck the great
chimney of gold that was to make him rich
"beyond the dreams of avarice" and the Independ-
ence mine one of the most famous in America- on
that day. SO the story runs, the mortgage on the
claim fell DUE and had the "strike occurred twenty
four hours later Mr.. Stratton would have continued
to work at his trade while some one else would
have enjoyed the fruits of his labor.

Unlike many men who strike it rich" in mines,
Mr. Stratton never permitted his wealth to turn
his head His dislike for vulgar ostentation was
intense; he always lived modestly, almost hugAlly
considering his means, and while he gave away
large sums Of money in charity and for the further
ance of education he invariably stipulated that
his mnst not appear in the transaction In fact
MI. Stratton proved himself to be a gentleman in

THERE is good deal said about Progress just
now and very naturally too for the world is advanc-
ing noticeably in many ways; but in while
cannot help wondering how long it will be before
the United States will progress far enough before
it will be honest enough to insist that all the laws
the statute books shall reflect the sentiments Of
the people, instead Of being, some of them are
now, merely devices to cajoe the churchgoing voter
If, for example, gambling and the form of vice
spoken of as the social evil are, as many honest,
clear headed men say they are necessary evils, why
there state laws prohibiting Them and in the
of the latter attaching the penalty of penal servtude
to the person convicted of the offence? To regulate
these evils? Surely villages towns and municipalities
could accomplish this as we'll the state. state
law should apply with equal force to all portions of
the commonwealth If it fails to do this, it has no
excuse for existence.
How many Of the respectable people who, during
the last four five years, have held up their hands
in holy horror at the police corruption that has been
exhumed in different parts Of the country have
stopped to ask whether they themselves were not
somewhat to blame for existing conditions? How
many of them have remembered that policeman in
any of our large cities is forced to countenance
crimes which punishable according to present
laws, with four five years in states prison. that he
must lend his tact approval to said oensas lose
his position? AS things are now, police officers are
expected by their superiors and by the public to be-
to all intents and purposes, accessories before the
fact to certain penal ofenses and at the time
to preserve law and order. From such false posi-
ton to the actual commission of crime by accepting
bride is only short step.
IS Laws that are not enforced, that are not in
tended to be enforced, should be repealed. Ger
tainy they should not be left the statute books
for the corruption of public servants. This is no
more than common sense, and no argument in behalf
oflexpediency will controvert it. There can be no
real progress until men honest with themselves

In ONE of his recent letters to the New York
Times, Mr.. William L. Alden comments on the
number of photographs illustrating the coronation
issues of the London daily and weekly papers, and
concludes that the dissemination of news by means
of pictures is relic of harbarism. The savage, he
argues, understand picture long before he
understands writing, and may not the present day
preference for them over writing be an instinct
inherited from our arboreal forefathers? Gas aids
to comprehending the nature of the coronation
ceremonies" says Mr.. Alden, pictures of much
less value than written descriptions"
As a.litterateur Mr. Aldens ability is universally
recognized but he appears to have overlooked the
most salient point of modern journalism-the art of
telling the news in all it's detail in as little space
possible .'To glance with an eye," says Walt Whit
man, "confounds the learning of all times" A
picture is more convincing than description,
whether it be picture of horse, volcanic eruption
or royal pageant It is more convincing and it
saves time for the reader and space in paper. And
when one forms an impression of an event from a
photograph one has the evidence of ones own senses
IAN import ant item in this sceptical age.
Few people nowadays, buy newspapers to read
carefully. They buy them to skim through on the
train or to glance over hurriedly during business
hours The headlines and pictures have got to tell
the gist of the news; the story gives the details
And if the paper is not made up" the reader can
tell at glance which of the various items
likely to interest him, the chances are against its
success. The Sunday issue furnishes long descrip-
tons well pctures thereby presenting the sub
ject dealt with very completely.
Take it all in all, the world does quite much
solid reading today it did. IF the annual
output of the publishing houses is criterion, more
reading is done today than in bygone times. The
stream of books flowing from the presses is wide
and deep as the Amazon and only small percentage
of them are illustrated. AS each one finds home
in library, it is only reasonable to suppose that
they all find readers. Mr. Alden makes the mistake
of imagining that everyone has much leisure to
devote to reading descriptions he has, and SO
neglects to see that illustrated papers natural
offspring of busy age.
