Definite advices state that the Japan
csc have won in the international race
for Marcus Island, one of the BONN
group, or rather an isolated island east
OF the BONN group and north of the La
drones, due west from Hawaii. This
race between the japanese cruiser Kss-
agi and Captain Rosehill, the American
who started west from Honolulu, may
lead to an interesting diplomatic ques-
ton. The island is said to have been
discovered by Americans, but they neg
lected to comply with the requirements
for possession, indeed, abandoned it, and
in lS9s it was formally claimed as de-
tendency Of Japan, it now being occu-
pied by a small number of Japanese re-
sidents. 1t is understood that our Gov.
eminent takes the position that Japan :
claim is tenable, and no difficulties are
likely to arise over the situation.

In singing his own songs Moore al
tered the arrangement Of the airs and
sang the first part of each verse twice
over at the beginning instead of as a
refrain at the end In that glorious
song Of his, "Oh, the Light Entranc-
ingw Moore's own singing of 1t was q
matchless treat. With head appraised,
he seemed almost to revel In the fresh
morning light as he gazed on the
sight enhancing" and his eye spar
killed. as "hles arrayed with helm and
blade" seemed to pass before him,
while a deeper feeling awoke as the
passion of the song came upon him.
His voice, one of infinite modulation,
but Of small compass, rose clear and
thrilling to its highest pitch as he
sang:
Go ask yon despot whether
His armed bands could bring such
hands
And hearts as ours together.
His song was an inspired recitative,
and be seemed to improvise as he ran
his fingers over the notes, and as the
tide of thought came over him 1t was
poured forth In harmonious cadences
Of exquisite variety. Had he been tied
to q chair, with the added doom of a
prosy companion. he would have ex-
ploded and gone off like a rocket or a
bottle of sparkling champagne.-West-

Sale of Pulp Mills.

The mills of the Somerset & kennebec
Fibre Company have been sold TO the
United Box Board and Paper Company
of New York. The property of the first
named company consists of two pulp
mills, one located in Fairfield and the
other in Benton Falls, the former in
Somerset county and the latter in Ken
nebec, hence the name, an electric road
running from Fairfield to Benton Falls
and doing freight and general passen-
ger business, and also considerable other
real estate in the two places. All OF this
is included in the transfer.
The product of the Fairfield mill con-
sists of raw wood pulp and that of the
Benton Falls plant, box boards and pulp.
The mill at Fairfield is the larger and is
an extensive plant, employing a large
number of men. The electric road was
built primarily to haul the product of
the mills and other freight. Benton
Station, about three miles from Benton
Falls, is its nearest shipping point and
before the road was built all the trans
ferring was done by teams. Passenger
cars were put on with the freight cars
and the road has done prosperous bust
ness in this line.
The plans regarding the newly ac-
CURED property have not been matured
by the United Box Board and Paper
Company but it is understood that the
business will be conducted along the
same lines for the present and under the
same local management. Harvey d.
Mansfield, the manager of the mills, will
remain in this capacity and other Off
eials under him. There will doubtless
be little change in the operation of the
mills and everything will go on as pre-
vious 10 the transfer for time at least

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
On or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take Scott's Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. 1t sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
If you have not tried it, send for free sample,
