ART OF REST.
May Be Acquired and Used With Great
 Benefit.


 Complete and restful boise of the body and mind is an art not easily gained. &@
 Perhaps nothing brings one as much content. comfort, happiness and pleas- ure as those conditions of easy, restful, resourceful and we'll balanced mind and body, that make of work a pleas- nre, and the daily life happy and peace- full.
 The nervous housewife, busy with a hundred duties and harrassed by child- ren; the business man, worried with the press of daily affairs, debts, etc., cam not enjoy the peace and restful repose and healthful nervous balance unless they know how.
 There is a way. First and foremost the stomach must be consulted. That means leaving off coffee absolutely, for the temporary stimulant and the result ing depression is sure ruin to the ner- vous system, and the whole condition of health and happiness rests upon sto- mach, nerves and mind. te
 Start with the stomach, that is the keystone to the whole arch. Stop using things that break down it's power, up- set its nervous energy and prevent the proper digestion of the food and the consequent manufacture of healthful blood and nerves, brain and tissues.
 When you quit coffee take on Postum Food Coffee. That is like stopping the payment of interest and starting on a career where you are loaning money and receiving interest. The good re- suits are double. You stop poisoning the system with coffee and start build ing up the broken down nerve cells by powerful elements contained in Postum. These are pure food elements ably se- lected by experts for the purpose of supplying just the thing required by Nature to perform this rebuilding.
 These are solid substantial facts and can be proven clearly to the satisfac- tion of any one, by personal experience. Try the change yourself and note how the old condition of shattered nerves and worried mind changes to that feel ing of restful poise of we'll balanced nervous system.
 The managing physician of hygienic sanitarium in Indiana says that for five years in his practice he has always insisted upon the patients leaving off coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee with the most positive, well defined re- suits, and with satisfaction to the most confirmed coffee topper.

THE STATE CHRONOLOGICAL socIE-

The Connecticut Genealogical society, which is to hold it's sixth annual fall meeting and second exhibition in con- snection with the Berlin fair next week, was organized twelve years ago, largely by the peach growers of the state, at a time when peach orcharding was just beginning on a large commercial scale in New England, and it has grown to be the recognized organization of the peach growers of the state. The socie- ty was fortunate in having wise and capable leaders. from the beginning. Their respect and enthusiasm for agri- culture was most sincere. They re- alized the need of the power and bene- fit of a state organization for the fruit
 growers. Such we'll known farmers an citizens of the state as N. S. Platt, !. H.

 Wild Birds. x
 Judge George B. Clark has two pic- lures of cartridges which he took after many efforts, in a field on Derby HILL He visited a place one day and found two birds there The next time ha walked up that way he took a a.littlesbag of wheat screenings and scattered them on the ground. On thenext visit he mo-, ticed that the screenings had all been eaten and he placed more on the. ground.
 After several trips like this, he went to the place armed with his camera. and scattering the screenings about, he hid behind rock and soon saw two part ridges come out and begin to eat Hs got two pictures one from one end of the rock and the other from the other. When he developed the plates he found on the first plate three birds instead of two. He has sent copies of the pictures to a sporting paper. It is very rare thing to get pictures of partridges, and these are particularly fine, as the light was just right to make them stand out. -Ansonia Sentinel.

 A fishing excursion of several we'll known New Haveners had an exciting experience after q sail to Milford har- Dor when they were caught in the storm of yesterday afternoon and evening. The storm not only precluded their re- turn in their yacht, but the havoc of the gale prevented their coming to New Haven on the trolley line. After many reverses they managed to get back to Milford and take q train to this city, where they arrived late last evening. The adventurers were Walter Leigh, Harry Leigh, William Neely, Samuel H.

blister is the vesirle, or bladder,
which Is formed by an effusion of
serum-the watery portion of the blood
underneath the scarf. or outer skin.
Any such powerful irritant as boiling
water may produce blisters, and we
may regard their formation as an eff
fort of nature to protect the true and
acutely sensitive inner skin from at
tack.
The fact speaks for itself, but the
reason for this injurious action of
scalding water has a much deeper seat.
Our blood vessels are supplied with
nerves. and the stimulation of these
causes in some cases dilatation and in
others contraction. Any excessive stim-
ulus will cause paralysis of the muscu-
lar coat of the vessels and consequent
stagnation of the blood In these parts,
and then their nutrition is impaired.
1t Is owing to the condition thus in
duced by scalding water that the Sc
rum oozes through the vessel wall and
makes its way into the surrounding
tissue. This raises the upper and in
sensii1a skin into blister, which prob
ably takes its name from the Anglo
Saxon blestan, Sblast or puff.

The Drives.

Mr.. E. p. Yiles came down from The
Forks, Friday. He informs US that the
rear of Dead River drive entered the
kennebec, Thursday. The drive consist.
ed of about 10000, 900, and somewhere
from two to five hundred thousand feet
were left back on the various falls, logs
that came in after the crew started the
rear. This is one of the best drives ever
made on the river; much more favor
able than was expected early in the sea.
son. The Moose River drive is coming
along fairly well. We are informed that
crews began operations again on the
Roach River drive, which had been hung
up for some time. The water is very
low but by shutting down the dams they
made out to secure water to start the
drive again. The Kennebec drive is
getting along fairly well, considering
the dry season. They are driving on
heads from Iudian Pond.

Lakewood Stock Co.

Now that the date of the opening for
the Stock Co. at Lakewood has been
selected it not to wondered at that the
citizens of this place and the surround.
lug territory are asking who is to be
there. Your correspondent recently
had chat with Mr.. SWEET of the Trac.
tion Co. and is given this information
Of the list of members of the Co. The
ones retained from last season are Miss
Rec, Mr.. Malcolm and Mr.. and Mrs.
McCord. The new members are Miss
Maud Winter, Miss Elvia Bates, and
Messrs Neil Twomey, Fred E. Bean,
Frank Hilton, Harry Stafford and John
G. King. Miss Winter for the past five
seasons has been under the management
of Mr.. David Belasco, three seasons play
ing the leading support OF Mrs. Leslie
Carter in both her New York and Lon
don engagements, and the past two
seasons with David Warfield, who had
such a long run at the Bijou Theatre in
New Y ork. Mr.. Neil Twoney the new
leading man has been under the manage
ment of Chas. Frohman the same num-
Der of seasons that Miss Winter has been
wi Mr.. Belasco; one of his greatest
successes was in the role in Secret Ser
vice in which play he was featured after
Mr.. Gillette went into Sherlock Homes
Mr. Bean and Mr.. Hilton are also from
the Frohman forces, both having been in
the support of that managers best stars.
Miss Bates and Mr.. King are the younger
members of the company both as to age
and professionally; they have been in
the support of Mr.. Lewis McCord in
playlet, "Her Last Rehearsal" that was
originally produced at Lakewood, and In
which Mr.. McCord made such terrific
hit the past season. OF the older mem.
bers of the Co. there is not one word to
be said, they have been with US too long
to comment on their ability, except Mr.
Stafford, who has been with US before
but not professionally. His work will
be appreciated by all owing to the pc
culiar and original methods he has. The
past season he has been with "Why
Women Sin," the melo dramatic hit OF
the past season in New York.
The play selected for the opening is
that stirring Drama, "Hazal Kirke,' -
which had run of nearly two years at
the Madison Square Theatre in New
York City.

A Sanitary Milk Plant for
SkOWhegan.

The Skowhegan Jersey Creamery has
been making extensive repairs on their
creamery buildings and has recently
purchased of the Stoddard Mfg. Co. of
Rutland, Vt, through their general
representative, W. S. Haynes, one Of the
best equipments for handling milk,
cream and butter known to scientific
creamery men. 1t includes a DeLaval
Alpha No. l cream separator, 20th
Century Pasteurizar and aerator and
cooler cream tempering vat, combined
churn and worker, 1.-THE Victor" which
churns the cream, salts and works the
butter perfectly without removing from
churn. 600 pounds of butter at each
working is the capacity. Mr.. Haynes
has been at the creamery for the past
few days assisting In setting and giving
such instructions as were necessary for
the proper handling and operating of the
new machines. They operated the new
machines Tuesday making l,704 pounds
of butter, each machine doing perfectly
satisfactory work. With such an outfit
as this II the patrons will use Laval
separators and aerators on the farm and
carefully sterlize with boiling water all
milk utensils used SO as to furnish q
clean sweet cream, we feel sure Mr.
Harris with his able assistants will be
able to furnish quality of cream and
butter not surpassed il equalled by any
creamery in the State. Skowhegan
Creamery is doing larger business this
season than ever before.

Lost Pins.

What becomes Of pins?
1t would really seem rejecting upon
the daily disappearance of pins that
the earth would be covered with them
and that the annual fall If measured
would amount to several inches. Wo-
men who start out with pins playing
a useful part In the details of a gown
will tell you that they never can find
a pin; that they are always buying
pins; that they are eternally loaning
them. In the dressmaker's rooms the
expenditure for pins is no small item.
The average dressmaker uses and
loses twelve papers Of pins a month,
Yet the floors of her rooms are not
matted with them and frequently her
wall goes up. What has become OF all
the pins?" Where indeed do they goi

The Victoria medal is made out of
bronze from Russian guns captured in
the Crimean war. The design is tho
work of the prince consort of Queen
Victoria. The medals are made sep
arately and only when one is needed.
Thus when some soldier or sailor, no
matter what his rank may be, has
shown conspicuous bravery or devo-
ton to the country in the presence Of
danger, as the act reads the war Office
sends to the royal jewelers. the bronze
needed for the metal. 1t is carefully
cast, filed smooth around the edges
and then the design is brought out by
chasing. The soldiers medal is sus-
pended by red ribbon and that of the
sailor by b'ue piece of silk.

The human heart is practically a
force pump about six inches in length
and four inches in diameter. 1t beats
70 times per minute, 1900 times per
hour. 100,800 times per day and &c.
1902, 900 times per year and 2.575 440,-
600 times in seventy years, which is
mans appointed threeseore years and
ten" At each of these beats it forces
2l2 ounces of blood through the sys-
tem, 175 ounces per minute, 65614
pounds per hour or 703 tons per day.
All the blood in the body, which is
about thirty pounds, passes through
the heart every three minutes. This
little organ pumps every day what is
equal to lifting 122 tons one foot high
or one ton 122 feet high-that is, one
ton to the top of forty yard mill
chimney or sixteen persons seven
score each to the same height. Dur
ing the seventy years of a mans life
this marvellous little pump without a
single moments rest, night or day,
discharges the enormous quantity Of
178S50 tons of blood.

Improving on Horse Power.

In Venezuela many years ago a
wealthy agriculturist was appointed
minister of marine. Being a hard
worker he asked at once for particu-
lars of the fleet The secretary brought
him particulars about the only war
ship. The details gave length, tonnage
and horse power At this last the min
lister stopped the secretary and bade
him write down quickly an order to
the chief of customs. Take out these
100 horses at once, and | will send you
good mules In their places" explaining
that mules were much more econom-
ical, both as regards food and ability
to withstand fatigue.

Capt. John P. Carson of Augusta
punetures the story of Ben Thorpe, a
Confederate sharpshooter, who has for
forty years claimed to have shot Gen.
Reynolds at Gettysburg the first day of
that famous battle. He claims to have
nFed two shots at the general, under
direction of his commanding officer.
According to his story he was perched
IN cherry tree when he did the shoot
ing and he always regretted the act,
Vapt' Carson, lieutenant then in COM
mand of Gen. Reynolds body guard, a
company of the First Maine Cavalry,
very reasonably says that the smoke was
" thick at that time that no sharp.
shooter at distance could do any eff
iectiye shooting. Capt. Carson states
mat at the time Gen. Reynolds was shot
ne had horse shot dead under him and
ne caught Gen. Reynolds horse and
rode over to Gen. Doubleday, next in
Vommand, to report. Some army
stories are strangely unfortunate in the
small traction of fact they contain.

The observance of Memorial Day
throughout New England and the coun-
try generally, was fully up to that OF
former years. The exercises were such
as have been observed of late years,
generally; procession of veterans, mill
tary companies, etc., with orations, mu-
sic, ritual ceremonies and decoration OF
graves of the hSnored dead. The day
has a hold upon the public mind that
time seems only to strengthen. Its OBJ
servance is an expression of patriotism
and is in the interest of the stability of
our government. Long may the day be

COsNack CustOmA.

Many queer customs and usages are
prevalent among the Cossacks. No man
changes his clothes on a Monday. On
Thursday no fat or flesh meat must be
picked or corned. Wool is not spun
on a holiday. A hen is always given
an uneven number of eggs to hatch,
never an even number. Bones left from
dinner at a funeral are thrown into
the river, and at the same meal no
one dare cut bread; 1t must always be
broken
