NAMES WILD LANDS.

The timber-lands of Maine possess greater value to-day than ever before. Unless some new material for the man ufacture of paper is discovered to take the place of wood, the value of these woodlands is destined to steadily and largely increase"
 This is the statement made by the state assessors, in South Paris when the board, including the Hon. Otis Hayford of Canton, chairman; ex-May- or George Pottle ot Lewiston, and the Hon. F, M. Simpson of Bangor, held its first session of the year at the Oxford county buildings This meeting was largely to secure information such as will enable them to adjust and equalize the valuation of wild lands.
 The wild lands of Maine, which con- stitute about forty-three per cent of the state, are the unincorporated lands, you will remember. These wild lands are a great source of wealth to the state, and have been so recognized since this territory was first settled. The approximate value to-day is quo- ted at twenty millions of dollars.
 Let me tell you little story" says MT. Pottle, right here.

LITTLE RED DEVILS.
Mind Makes Peculiar Things.

Coffee almost kills some people before they are willing to admit that coffee is really the cause of the trouble. Yet it is easy to break off the habit providing Postum Coffee, well boiled is served in its place.
 A lady says, After coffee drinking had become a habit with me I experi- enced a sense of faintness in the stom- ach with lassitude and dullness of the mind. This was accompanied with severe pains in the region of my liver
 Gradually my health failed and I be- came thin and nervous wreck, having sick headaches every day. Then in- somnia set in and l suffered for four years such torments as those who have been through the experience know of. At night l would grow so nervous over the continual distress in my stomach that I would imagine hundreds of little red devils had strings attached to the back of my stomach and were trying to pull it out. I was compelled, at times, to take laudanum to relieve the dis tress and cramps
 This condition lasted with some var iation for about three years. I tried various physicians and finally was ad- vised to try leaving off coffee: this I thought could not be done. l was fin- ally induced to give up coffee and use Postum and I began to get well.
 When I recovered and thought I was well enough to go back to coffee again I tried it. but after using it short time the old stomach trouble came back and I threw the balance of the coffee In the stove. There has never been grain of the old fashioned coffee in the house since and never will be as long as I am running it.
 Postum Coffee is delicious when made according to directions and served hot with good cream and some sugar. The whole family use it and enjoy it great ly I have gained 40 pounds in the last year and my nerves are fast becoming thing of the past. I sleep perfectly all night and am a well woman. thanks to Pestum' Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek Mich.

vantages of our systems of protection
 which have hitherto been garnered by the eastern manufacturers. But just as they have been upon the point of se- curing these benefits in the growing of sugar beets, defended by q barrier against foreign competition, the east ern manufacturers, who for years past have been beneflciaries of the protection system at the expense of the west, come forward in support of the demand that the duty upon sugar should be ma terially cut down. To this a great num- Der of westerners seriously object If justice is to be done to Cuba, they ask. why should they alone be called upon to make the sacrifices which justice re- quires? Why is this duty saddled upon the west. Why does not the east do it's hare in the maintenance of this new nation?
 It is further pointed out that all propositions advanced by western con- gressman to cut down duties upon com modlties manufactured by the trusts' have either been pigeonholed, in the ways and means committee room or have been incontinently voted down. Thus the west maintains that the trusts are protected, but the farmer is to have his only share of protection taken from him on the ostensibe plea that national justice requires the sacrifice to be made that to him that hath is tot be given, and from him that hath not is to be taken away, even that which he hath.-From the Boston Herald.

nation which we didn't before possess.
 When timber lands are offered for sale,,
 and these corporations contemplate
 purchasing, they send one of'those pre- lviously mentioned explorers to examine
 the township, estimate the amount of Indifferent timber upon it; and the faoili-
 ties for transportation. From their re-
 ports, and the price paid. we ascertain
 an approximate valuation. We are
 thus able toSform much. more intelli-s gent idea of$the dvaluattonaof the wild, lands of the state than we could f1ve' years ago.
 Incidentally, the establishing of pa- per mills in Maine has greatly in- :. creased the value of the water power of the state. Paper mills, of course, re- quire great water power far beyond cotton or woolen mills or indeed any other manufactory. As result, all the most desirable water power of Maine is already secured, although in some cases not yet occupied, and the water privi- leges of the state were never worth so much as to-day. M
 In forest fires threatens the great est danger to our timber lands say the assessors. This is particularly true in periods of drought, when a blaze de- stroys for great many years the por tions it devastates.
 Not all of Maine's timber lands are represented by the wild lands. Many towns there are almost entirely of wood lands. In the estate of the, late Cover nor Daniel F. Davis of Corinth, the es- timated area of the wood and timber land is thirteen ymillion acfes
 The timber growth in Maine will outlast this generation by many long years says MT. Pratt, enoouragingly. The largecuts by lumberman create alarm as the people read of their size. But there's one point they overlook. They entirely forget in their calculation that all this time everyalittle trehtfn thef state is steadily growing. day ands night!
