Madame Isabella Ellen Baveas, Life Governor Grand Lodge of Free Masons of England, in letter from Hotel Saratoga, Chicago, Ill.,, says:
 "This summer while travelling l con- tracted most persistent and annoying cold. My head ached, my eyes and nose seemed constantly running, my lungs were sore and l lost my appetite, health and good spirits. Doctors prescribed for me all manner of pills and powders, but all to no purpose.
 q advised with druggist and he spoke so highly of a medicine called Peruna, that he induced me to try my first bottle of patent medicine How ever, it proved such a help to me that soon purchased another bottle and kept on until I was entirely we'll" Madame Isabella Ellen Baveas.
 Summer colds require prompt treat ment. They are always grave, and sometimes dangerous. The promptness and surety with which Peruna acts in these cases has saved many lives.
 A large dose of Peruna should be taken at the first appearance of cold in summer, followed by small and oft repeated doses. There IS no other remedy that medical science can fur nish, so reliable and. quick in it's action as.Peruna.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Game chickens have more meat in proportion to their height than any other breed of fowls.
 When the chickens are growing fast, 1t is good plan to mix little bone- meal in their soft feed.
 Smearing whole wheat with kerosene or turpentine and feeding 1t to the chickens is good remedy for gapes.
 Adding some carbolic acid and put ting on hot will secure much better re- suits from the whitewashing of the poultry house.
 While it is at no time advisable to keep food of any kind before the fowls all the time, 1t will be an advantage to keep milk where they can drink all they want.
 Fowls do not run together in large numbers. They will always divide into Hocks of small size and will select diff ferent feeding grounds, always pro- vided they have the opportunity.
 A growing chicken, like growing animal, requires plenty of good, whole some food supplied literally and often in order to enable them to grow and mature rapidly and to develop proper ly.

DON'T READ IN BED.
It Is Dangerous Practice While Lying Down. Says nn Authority.


 Reading in bed is seriously advised, so tine newspapers say, by physician as conducive to repair and resting," relieving congestion" complying the veins overfiied by prolonged eyework," etc.
 1t is plain that placing the head back in a horizontal position so absolutely meets the whole problem of a relief of congestion by gravity-and 1t is such a very important problem-that 1t seems strange that people with weak eyes do not habitually practice reading in a recumbent position perfectly comforta- ble. Such advice, carried out with ab- solute care as to light and the position of tue book, would in the case of thousand busy people add largely to the number of hours which reading could be indulged in without detriment to the eyes or general health.
 Certainly the one who gives this strange md pernicious advice could never have tried the plan. Some years ago there was described patented de vice for suspending the book over the horizontally placed head of sick per son whereby reading would be possible without holding the book in the hands. Even then one wonders how the light could be made to fall properly on the page. Without q method of the kind not even well person, could hold book five minutes above the eyes. Reading in bed has ruined thousands of good eyes. Unless one sits up In bed as if in chair it is impossible to hold the book in such position that the arms are not quickly tired and so that the light falls on it properly. When reading lying down, there is traction upon the inferior recti muscles which is highly injurious. Every patient should be warned never to read in bed except when sitting up as vertically as in a chair.-American Medicine.

queer Coronation Custom.

One of the most extraordinary gifts made on the coronation day of Edward 1. was that of 800 horses, which had been used by the royal princes and oth- CT personages in the procession to Westminster abbey. These horses. all richly caparisoned and harnessed just as they were were let loose into the very midst of the mob after the ban quet in Westminster hall that always succeeded coronation in those days. The people in the streets were permit ted to catch the animals. and to him who caught horse it and its appoint ments belonged.-London Chronicle.

THE OAKLAND ELECTRIC ROAD,
Best OF Backing and Will Be Great
Benefit to City.

There is great interest in the city in
the new electric road to Oakland, as
there has been asstrong demand for this
for some time. The residents Of Silver
street especially have been anxious TO
have road pass through that street 81
that they might be able to get to and
from business more easily than at pres
ent. Among others there has been a de-
mand for the road in order to open up
land for building lots, there being much
suited to this purpose in the direction
the road will take.
The road itself has the best of hack
ing-local men who are known all over
New England for their success in nro-
noting and building roads Of this kind.
A. +. Gerald, one of the best electric road
men in the country, is at their head and
he is ably supported by others of the syn
dictate.
Inc road will be about 51s miles long.

day. They will, therefore, be better tha,
now in service as steady and

As already known, the road will como

street. After reaching the western edge
OF the city it will pass over private lani

But a very advantageous route has
been discovered by cutting across coua-

The Maria Clark Grammar School

west, giving ample room for an impos-

their plans have been adopted by the

by the city government, which includes

possible to obtain a satisfactory esti-
mate of the cost of the building with
out proper drawings or working plans,
but the best information that can be
obtained by them from practical build
ers, who have examined the prelimi-

about $1,000. The architects have the

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Frank Handy Found Dead, Friday A.
ternoon, in Potter's Stable.

Friday afternoon, sometime between
IL o'clock and l, a man entered the
Office of c. Z. Potter's livery stable and
tried to hire a team to go to. some
place which the hostler could not I'M
derstand. AS the hostler did not know
the man he did not let him have the
team. The man stayed in the office
for some time, and was sitting in a
chair, from which he fell to the floor
and was put back in the chair again
by MI. Potter. About a half hour
later the man went from the office to
the back part of the stable and sat
down on the floor with his back against
the front axle and dasher of a car
riage This was about o'clock. At
4.45, the hostler went to wake the man
and found him dead. Coroner Hildreth
was summoned and on his arrival, DIR.
+. E. Strout was called and made All
exaniRa ton and pronounced death due
to HpNhA6L The man was apparently
abovtsfT. years of age. In one of his
coat pockets was found a bottle half
filed with alcohol and in another a
key attached to half of a shipping tag.
The name Frank Handy was written
on the tag. 1t was thought by some
that he was a soldier from the Home
at Togus, and the authorities there
were telephoned to and it was found
that he belonged there and the am
hulance was sent for the body. A bag
gage check from NorridgeWock was
also found and Bangor paper of Fri
day. The body was taken to the I'M
dertaking rooms of Preble & Keene
before it was found that he was
an inmate of the Home and was kept
there until the arrival Of the ambulance
from Togus, where it w-as taken and
will be buried.

HALLOWELL GRANITE WORKS.
Notes on Hall of Records Contract
Other Work-The Outlook.

The beautifully carved cap stones
which are to ornament the score or
more of massive columns which have
been shipped from the HalIowell
Granite for the New York Hall of
Records, are now under the hammer
at the city sheds and are attracting
good deal of attention. There will
be quite a number of other carved or
decorative stones, as well as num-
Der of statues of heroic size that will
eventually ornament the exterior of
the stately edifice and it is quite
probable that the work will be done
here. Some portions of this large con-
tract have, however, been finished in
the sheds which were recently opened
in New York City.
No information Of a definite nature
can be given with reference to the
contract for the Newark City hall,
which will be built of Maine granite
John Pierce is the New York repre-
sentative of the Hallowell Granite
Works and acts in a similar capacity
for other Maine granite firms. 1t is
understood that the contract has not
yet been awarded, although Maine
granite, particularly Hallowell granite,
is looked upon with much favor. 1t
is said that although the Newark con-
tract involves $2.000,O00 in cost and
threatens to come this way, that still
other matters are pending which are
in some ways more favorably inclined
and represent very large sums of
money.
