Found In Auburn.

To persons who have read Gold
smiths poem, The Deserted Village,
the name of Auburn is full of sweet
suggestions; and city, town or vii
lage bearing this name is conceived by
them as having many amenities.
Some places called Auburn are
found to answer this conception better
than others.
These thoughts came to me when in
Auburn, Me-, in the spring OF 1900.
1t was then that one of the residents
of the place told me much that inter-
ested me, and led me to say that, 90
where we will, we still find trouble.
She told me that she had been
afflicted many years with catarrhal
trouble, which caused disagreeable
droppings in her throat day and night,
and that she had frequently been
dizzy, owing to torpid liver, when
everything grew dark about her.
Many residents of Auburn had been
afflicted in the same way.
I saw at once that she had suffered
from an impure condition of the
blood; but, of course, l could not see
at once to what it was attributable =
whether to heredity, errors in diet, or
locality and | did not care to ask.
She had found what other residents
of Auburn had found - that Hood s
Sarsaparilla is the complete and rad
ical cure for such troubles, for she had
taken it.
She said to me, "Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla is the best Of all medicines. 1t
entirely cured me, and made my
health good" Her name is Mrs. Ell
vira ]. Smiley, and she lives at 50
Hampshire street.
An impure condition of the blood
weakens all the organs and functions;
affects the mucous membranes causes
catarrh, torpid liver, rheumatism, and
dyspepsia, as we'll as cutaneous erup-
tions, pinples, boils, eczema, etc.
Hoods Sarsaparilla acts directly and
peculiarly on the blood, rids it of all
Impurities, cures all diseases and trou-
bles caused by impure blood, and
builds up the whole system.

BRIDEGROOM MISSING.
Henry ConneIIa, to Have Been Mar
ried, Tuesday, Disappears.

Brunswick, Me, May 13.-Henry
Gonnelia, an italian fruit dealer of this
town, is missing, and his friends are
very anxious concerning his safety.
Gonnella was to have been welded,
today, to Rosalie Pierre of Rumford
Falls, but the bridegroom failed to ar
rive in time for the ceremony and no
one can explain his absence otherwise
than that he has been taken ill.
Gonella went to Boston on business,
Thursday, and since Saturday he has
not been seen. Gonella does a good
business here. His absence is a COM
plete mystery. He has been a very
devoted lover and everything was as
happy as could be. He was greatly
rejoiced at the near approach of his
wedding day and his unexplained alb
sence seems to mystify every one.
Every effort is being made to find him
but thus far without success

FLOWERS AND HONEY BEES.
Discoveries in Regard to Insects and
Plant Life.

From the New York Evening Post.
Careful study has revealed the fact that
the relation between flowers and bees is
more complicated than was ever believed.
The eating or gathering of honey is not pc
cuiiar to the bee alone, but is INDUCED in
by wasps, hornets, flies. ants, hummng
birds and other animal species. Proba bly,
all of these carry pollen from one blossom
to another and bring about the fertilization
so needful to the perpetuation of plant life.
The short-billed hummng birds are found
to carry away pollen upon the feathers of
the head, while bumbIebees and several
species of hornets often rival the honey bee
in the completeness wherewith they rub off
pollen from every flower.
Recent Investigations seem to indicate
that the production of honey is not natural
to flowers, but is the result of a pathologlc
process based on the action of animal
ferment introduced into the base of the
petal from the saliva or other secretion Of a
bee The sap of the petal contains a very
small amount of sugar, but larger quanti-
ties of soluble and insoluble starch. A
slight scratch or perforation will cause an
emulation of this sap, which is not particu-
larly sweet and not at all like honey. But
If to this sap be added a ferment such as
ptylin or yeast, the starch, and. 1t may be-
a small amount of cellulose, are converted
into glucose, and saccharine fluid is the re-
suit.
The fact seems to be utilized by the honey
bee. On entering a flower he apparently
scratches or abrades the base of the petals
near the sap vessels, mostens the raw sur
face with saliva or other secretion gathers
honey or flies on to the next flower. In the
ensuing twentyfour hours a globule of sap
forms on each abrasion. in which the
starchy elements have undergone a fer
mentation into sugar.
The flavor of the honey depends partly on
the flower and partly the ferment. 1t is
the latter which causes all honey to taste
more or less alike, and which prevents the
western manufacturers from making a good
artificial honey out of glucose. They can
initiate the color. consstence and even the
floral flavor perfectly but the so-called
honey flavor has never yet been obtained.

Nearly Lost His Life for a Kiss.

From the Springfield Republican.
A Springfield young man nearly gave his
life for a kiss yesterday afternoon, and the
station employees still wonder why he was
not killed. Just as the 800 train was pull
ing out for Boston yesterday afternoon two
girls and young man ran to it, and one Of
the girls got aboard. She called to the other
girl to come and kiss her goodby and leaned
over and was saluted. Then she noticed the
Borrowing youth, and. plying him, told him
he could have one If he wanted 1t. He made
a jump for the train, got the reward, but in
some way slipped and nearly fell under the
train. He fell between the track and the
platform, and no one knows why he was not
run over
