BRAIN.FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish a particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nutri-
mcnt is destroyed by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their ap-

An unhappy life is an idle one. Those
who are happiest are the most earnest
workers. 1t is folly to say that we
can find no labor. Life itself is stu

to shirk labor by feigning not to see
it. Each mortal, If he does his duty,

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.
have it..

New York, July 16.-There was an ac-
tive and variegated speculation in stocks,
today, the market rejecting the play Of
larger forces than at any time during the
recent advancing tendency. No SPECIFIC
new developments were evident to ac-
count for the movement which was ,ap
parently due to the substantial basis of
condition of the country and the financial
foundation of credits. The reported dis
solution of the speculative corner in the
July option at Chicago. had not a little
to do with engendering confidence, ;
there has been a fear for several days
past that the struggle to maintain the ar
tficial conditions in that market would
result in pressure upon New York for
money and in forced liquidation Of
stocks that might prove disastrous to the
market. Traders laid stress upon the be
Morgan and Standard Oil interests in the
large buying orders executed by various
brokers'. Profit taking was achieved sue
cessfully without making serious inroads
upon prices of the stocks affected which
were, generally speaking, the high-priced
established dividend payers, especially
amongst the Changers. The belief that to-
morrow'S miners convention at Indianap-
oils will decide against general strike
and thus lead up to an early settlement
of the anthracite strike was the predom-
mating influence in coal group. Anal
gamated Copper was bought in the belief
maintained. The market closed somewhat
irregular, with profit taking continuing
but there was notable renewal of the suy
ing power in the strong stocks. United
States bonds We're unchanged on the last
call.

The Bow and the Gun.

The shooting affair at South China
Tuesday afternoon, again demonstrate
ed the en-illustrate- truth that !,
boy and a deadly weapon are an ex-
ceedingly dangerous combination, how
ever HARMLESS the intentions of the boy
may be. In this case, if we under
stand the facts, a 17-year-old boy on
the shore of the lake fired his rifle to
brighten some boys who We're out in a
boat. There was no murder in his
heart. He simply meant to send the
bullet near enough for them to hear
it hum" But the aim was poor, the
bullet struck a wave and was de-
fected, lodging, as fate would have it,
the brain of one OF the boys. And so,
as the result of his reckless impulse
and boyish folly, there is grief and suf-
fering for others, and as long as he lives
he will feel the bitter sting of regret for
an act that nothing can atone for.
This happened near home and so IS
more impressive, but one can hardly
take up a paper without reading of a
serious or fatal accident as the result
of the careless handling of firearms by
the Young. Sometimes il is a case of
"diCn't know it was loaded and some
times, though the offenders are not al
ways young boys, it is a case of shoot
ing bindly at the sound of a rustling
of the bushes on the supposition thai
a deer or bear or squirrel is there
waiting to be killed. Firearms have
their use, but in these modern times
they have, to a greater extent, their
abuse 1t is natural for boys to desire
to handle them. They want to. kill
something. and too often they succeed
in killing their playmates or other in
nocant parties. If minors are to be al
lowed the unrestricted handling of
firearms, it is criminal negligence on
the part of those in authority over
them if they do not fully understand
the proper use of firearms and do not
have thoroughly impressed upon them
With SO many young lives sacrificed to
carelessness and folly. there would
seem to lie 10 need of preaching SER
mons to parents upon this matter.

The Case of Bailey Explained.

The case of Bailey is explained. Not
highest authorities agree that his case
is ineXplicable. We refer to the case
of w. ]. Bailey of Kansas. to which
reference was made in these columns,
last week In accounting for his sue
cess in life. the Atchison Globe sail
it was due to the fact that Mr.. Bailey.
when he was young and robust, did
rot waste the most precious years OF
his life in hanging on a fence with a
girl, but instead devoted his time to
trying to amount to something" We
made the comment that, though vc
knew nothing of the success Mr.. Bailey
had attained he had plainly missed the
best thing in life. We held that sue
cess without "the love habit" at which
the Globe sneered, is a delusion and an
empty dream.
Now it appears that the Globe did
not have its facts straight and that
an injustice has been done Mr.. Bailey
He did have the love habit when he
was Young and robust. and he lid
spend precious time hanging on the
fence with a girl. When he was Il
young man ne attended the University
of Illinois. and as It is a co-educationai
institution he promptly acquired the
love habit along with other good things
IN the curriculum. An engagement
followed, ami then young Bailey rushed
away /, ON college, gave up his chances
of graduating, went to Kansas. built a
home for his expected bride and was
nearly ready to come back to Illinois
to claim her when he received cards
announcing her marriage to another
man. While he was trying to amount

republic in name. but an oligarchy in
fact. and it's sway was that of a great
empire. In its time it was queen OF
the world in art and commerce. Even
now it is the second city of Italy in

travellers and n port of no small i'm

glory are in the past. The Venice OF

soldier a peerage and a fortune.

AS part of the musical service
there was a whistling solo in Baptist
church in New York, last Sunday.
This very likely shocked some people
and it will doubtless shock some to
read of it. Unfortunately the papers
neglect to state what was whistled.
Something depends on whether it was
ragtime or q good old gospel hymn.
But an as innovation in the form of
worship it probably did not begin to
make the sensation that was created
when instrumental music was first
heard in the choir lofts of New Eng
lands churches. Tradition tells us
that there was something of sensa-
ton in our own city when the first in
strumental music was heard in connec-
ton with worship. 1t was in 1902, just
a century ago. that Stephen Jewett
played n bass VOL in the church of the
Old South parish which stood on what
is now Market square. And we are
inclined to think that whistlng solo
would not make more of a stir now in
one of our churches than would a

Augusta as a Trolley Center.

Augusta to Belgrade Lakes, Oakland
and Waterville by trolley was a
prophecy of the Journal some time ago
and there is now every reason to be-
iieve it VIII be realized, another year.
The company which has been formed
means business. There is a great fu-
ture for the beautiful Belgrade lake
system as a summer resort, and trolley
connection with Augusta will hasten
its development and help the Capital
city. The other proposed line to
Winslow is also q practical scheme
and it is not at all improbable that
both lines will be built.
Augusta is a natural radial point for
electric roads. The existing lines are
public spirited and enterprising capt.
talists behind them are not disposed
to stop where they are when extern
sions of the system are certain to be
proportionately profitable and ad-
yantageous to the city. The Augusta
and Gardiner road has long been one of
the most successful in the State. The
extensions to Togus and toward Win
throp are fulfilling the most sanguine
expectations of the builders The con-
tinuation of the Togus branch to War
rem and Rockland, and the building of
roads to the Belgrade Lakes and Oak
land and through Vasalboro and Wins
low to Waterville are as certain as
anything in the future can be. All this
means much TO the sections through
which the lines run; it means much to
Augusta, and much to the energetic
men who are doing the work. Success
