How the President Is Paid.

In the appOrtionment of the salaries
Of all United States government en-
ployees the year Ia divided into quar-
tiers and each quarter subdivided &C
cording to the number Of days In each
month, but the president receives pracA
tically the same amount every month.
Thus, II president should die at the
end of February. after receiving his
salary for that month, his successor
would IN reality receive less than the
full amount due him in March because
his predecessor had, In effect, been
overpaid the prior month. Inasmuch
as the presidents salary may not be
divided into exactly equal parts 1t Is
necessary to pay the chief magistrate
81, 1866 on some months and S4.166.G7
on others. On one occasion during
the Cleveland administration a mis-
take was made, and there were sent
to the chief executive three successive
warrants for 4.1G6.68. When the
error was discovered. the treasury de-
partment FASTENED to dispatch to the
White House warrant on the United
States government for a cent, made
out in Mr. Cleyeland's favor, though
the president never cashed this check.

Appetite and Hunger.

Most persons do not discriminate
between hunger and appetite" said a
doctor of long experience. Appetite
Is what makes a man drink or smoke
and what makes most men and wom-
en- eat. Many 60 through life never
knowing what hunger really is. |
often fast sixty hours and never feel
the worse for it. A friend of mine, a
physician in Brooklyn, goes without
food sixteen days at a stretch and
keeps up his work meanwhile. There
isn't an organ that can contract any
disease from lack of food. Most of
them do become diseased through the
effort to take care of too much food.
They are all in better tone after a fast.
Another thing, hunger is felt only in
the mouth and throat. That gone feel
Ing that many complain of is not hun
ger; that is a form of disease. If per-
sons would eat only when they were
hungry and only as much as hunger,
not appetite. called for-well, we doc
tors would have to fast. New York

Stock raising and dairying are the
basic lines of agriculture upon which
profitable operations can be conducted
in Maine. The products of this busi-
ness are cash articles any time of year.
Every man in Maine who has pursued
this line of farming, systematically and
intelligently for series of years, has
made fair profit and has improved his
farm. This is the sure way to enrich
the farm. Other methods may work
well for time but the raising of neat
stock furnishes the fertilizer that stands
the test of time in lettering the con-
dition of Maine farms. Stick to stock
raising, is sound advice.

Portsmonth .Hnrbor.

There has existed a harbor at Ports
mouth, England, resorted to by fight
ing ships from the most ancient times
In our history. The Romans undoubt-
eddy used it when they had their
stronghold at Portchester, and they
appear to have named 1t Portus Mag
nus, or the Great Port. The footsteps
of the Roman proyineials and of the
Saxons and NOrmans may be traced,
and from these times onward the name
of Portsmouth occurs frequently In
our history. The place had attained
some measure of importance in the
reign of Henry l. Richard CGur de
Lion set sail thence when last he left
the shores of his kingdom, and in the
time of his successor a naval estab-
lishment existed at the port.-London

At Both Ends.

In a little town in Nova Scotia are
two churches situated in the two di
visions of the village locally desig
mated as the North End and "Soutl
End" At Sunday morning service
the officiating clergyman read the fol
lowing notice:
"There will be preaching at II
o'clock next Sunday morning in the
church at the North End and at 4
o'clock in the afternoon in the church
at the South End. Infants will be
baptized at both ends.

Practical Inquiry.

Ludicrous Word Twister.

Professor William Archibald Spoo-
ner of oxford university has become
famous as a ludicrous word twister.
Once at special service, seeing some
women standing at the back of the
church waitiag to be seated, he rushed
down the aisle and addressed the ush-
ers as follows. Gentlemen, gentlemen,
sew these ladies into their sheets" Be
ing asked at dinner what fruit he
would have, he promptly replied, Pigs,
feas." This is the way in which DR..
Spooner proposed to his wife: Being
one afternoon at the home of her IA
Their, Bishop Harvey Goodwin of Car
Isle, Mrs. Goodwin said, Mr.. Spoo-
ner, will you please 20 out into the

The Grenteat Men.

1t would be difficult task, if not an
impossible one, to persuade any half
dozen men casually brought together
into unanimity of opinion concerning
the greatest man who ever lived. Most
of them would agree no doubt with
Lord Brougham that Julius Caesar was
1.-The greatest man of ancient times,
but how many of the six would accept
Professor GARDENERS estimate of Crom-
well as ''the greatest Enghshman of all
times?' Each of them, we may be
reasonably sure would accept Shake
speare as the greatest poet, yet Lord
Lytton once spoke Of Milton as the
greatest poet of our country" And
where will be found two men out Of
Scotland to agree with Charles Mackey
when he says of Burns that he was
"the greatest poet = next perhaps to
King David of the Jews-whom any
age has produced Y-Leslie's Weekly.

Checks For the Communion TabI,

Checks For the Communion Table.
The author of THE Sabbath In Puri-
tan New England" mentions Il custom
which prevailed In several New Eng
land churches that made 1t the duty
of the deacons to walk up and down
the aisles of the church ut the close of
each service and deliver to every per-
son who in their judgment was fitted
to commune q metal check, which ell
titled him at the next celebration of
the Lords Supper to join in the sacred
ordinance.
On the communion Sabbath it was
the deacons' duty to see that /ev-
cry one who presented himself at the
Lords table had this check and to col
lect it from the commitment before
passing to him the bread and wine.

Sacred Nuts of Japan.

Although well known TO travellers
and collectors of curiosities, the horn
nut, or sacred nut" of Japan was al
most wholly unknown to fruit and nut
dealers in this country prior to 1883,
when a New York commission mer-
chant received the first large consign-
ment. They are called sacred nuts"
because used in certain forms of Jap
anese worship, where they are placed
on the altar and ignited. Being very
rich in oil, they burn with hot, blush
flame and give off peculiar odor, the
fumes being supposed to rise as an ac-
ceptable incense to the gods They
grow under water and have leaf like
an American lily, the form of the nut
itself being an almost exact counter.
part of an Asian buffalo's head, droop-
ing horns and all. In the raw state
they are hard and tasteless, but when
cooked the flavor resembles that Of
boiled chestnuts. They are said to re-
tain their edible qualities for upward
of twenty years.

The Professor. the Indy and the Cow

The Professor, the Lady and the Cow.
1t Is told of a certain professor whose
observation-disclosures about equaled his
learning that he was one day, crossing
the college campus, absorbed to -such
a degree in a book of his that had just
been published that he was lost to
everything else. Suddenly he bumped
up against an object, and looking up
he saw that he had collided with a
COW that had rudely strayed in his
way. Get out of the way, you COW
ne exclaimed irritably, prefixing an i'm
polite adjective to COW"
The next day as the professor was
again crossing the campus, immersed
in his reading, he again ran into an
object. ooh, that COMPOUNDED cow
he exclaimed. Then, hearing an In.
dignant Sir" he looked up hastily TO
discover that this time he had come
up against the wife of a fellow pro
fessor 1t hardly made matters better
to assure her that he had taken her
for a COW, and it required the good
offices of the entire faculty to restore
an era of good feeling

The EnRIish Crown RnhY.

The ruby of the English crown is
famous in popular estimation, but-his
tory apart-what does the connoisseuI
say as to its value? asks the London
Chronicle. Is 1t ruby or is it only q
fine and large spinel? Some people
call spinel spinel ruby. but a spinel
is not ruby. The stone last named
when it is Of more than three and a
half carats in weight and flawless all
through, is more precious than per
feet diamond Of the same size. When
1t is considerably larger, its value is
not to be estimated and may be any
thing, according to the passion of the
collector. But the spinel. n much less
hard crystal, even when 1t reaches the
weight of four carats. is valued a;
half the worth of four carat dia-
mond. There are famous royal rubies
but that which flames in the roya
crown is, according to common rumOi
among experts, the lowlier spinel.

Letter to Warren Harvilie.
Skowhegan, Me


Dear Sir: There was time when it
paid painter to paint lead and oil, and
fight shy of anything else. That was
when the market was full of poor paints,
and zinc was unknown.
Now zinc has come in, lead and oil
must give way-it is too short lived,
There are two ways to use zinc; you
can mix it in with lead in tub, or buy
Devoe lead and zinc, which is ground
together by machinery.
If you mix your own lead and zinc,
you gain something; if you buy Devoe
you gain more, because machinery does
better work than hand mixing. Expe,
rience is worth something. We've had
146 years of it
Yours truly,
