Politics, Reformers and Patriotism.

In the twenty-three years of our ex-
istence we hotel men have seen many
political upsets. We have seen the
rascals turned out and the good people
come in, and we have rejoiced. We
have seen the good people turned out
and the rascals come back again, and
we have rejoiced still more. We hotel
men like change. That's what we are
in the business for!
All these different parties accomplish
something for good. Some make the
city good, some make the business good
and some are caught with the goods on
them. But whate'er betide, the land
lord pursues the even tenor of his way,
seeking no political honors, asking no
official favors, quietly eluding jury
duty, unostentatiOusly swearing off his
taxes, with malice toward none, with
charity toward all, content with life,
liberty and the pursuit of boarders
There are plenty of men in this room
who can reach right up and pluck the
stars out of the armament and transfer
them to the blue field of Old Glory,
and who can refer to G.. Washington
and A. Lincoln and A. Gruber and
other dead ones and arouse tremen-
dous enthusiasm; but what's the use?

of patriotism that l couldn't get in at

1t is a Porcupine.

There has been some controversy in re-
gard to the effect of the law passed by the
legislature providing for the payment Of
bounty on porcupines. One wise man has
given it as his opinion that the Maine ami
nal that the law was aimed at is "Hedge,
hog" not 'Porcupine. The Curator OF
the National Museum at Washington ought
to be authority on this subject and we
quote description attached to specimen
on exhibition there:
"Erethizon Dorsatus. The American
Porcupine, often enormously called
''Hedgehog," inhabits the heavily forested
regions Of North eastern North America. IL
is mostly an arboreal animal, feeding on
the bark and twigs of trees. Though 1t
can inflict severe wounds with its heavy
quilted tail it is unable to project the qullls

1t may be justly said that the girls, which
Mr.. Learned has drawn, and which have
been published in The Boston Sunday Her
aid, represent higher type of girl than do
the work of any of Mr.. Learned's contem,
poraries. These beautiful faces, refined and
chaste, are ideals of young womanhood, and
are so manifestly all that parents delight in
in their children, that boys admire in their
that they have achieyed a great popularity
among the people of New England. In The
Sunday Herald of May 10 Mr.. Learned's
masterpiece, "A Breath of Spring" appear

A balky horse is an annoying creature
during regimental drill.
The sun blaZed down on a field OF hot,
tired horses and excited men, all waiting for
a big, raw -boned animal to succumb to the
urgings of the starter and get into line.
aBring up that horsev' shouted one of the
officers at last, his patience having given n
out. sYou'll get into trouble if you don't!'
The youthful rider of the refractory horse
looked at his officer despairingly: :,
'sI'm as tired as you are, sir" he said
with dull resignation, "but can't help it.
He's cab horse, sir, that's what he IS.
He won't start till he hears the door shut,
sir, and haven't got any door to shut!'

Blood Wine Will

Ifthe blood is thin, watery, sluggish and
diseased the whole system is literally
starved. If our blood does not contain the
proper stimulant, our heart, lungs. kid
neys-all vital organs suffer. People do
not have disease if the blood is good,
neither do they get all tired out, languid,
have poor appetite, sleeplessness, fret,
worry, lose flesh, and decline. "Blood
Wine' makes people strong when they are
