The ring of Steelshod feet.

Between it peering forth,
And 10! beheld 4 wild gray knight
Come riding from the north.
The frost was in the streaming hair,
The ice was on his beard, p,

Ills cry was long and weird
He struck the boushs that barred his way
And broke them in his flight.
Across his saddle-bow he bore

NY breath was frozen on the pane,
My lips were blue with cold,
When far away his strident voice
Died out from the void.

All colorleSS and pale,
Before my door lay soft and white
The maidcn's snowy veil.

II is pointed out by the Philadelphia
press that the per capita circulation OF
money on December /. which was 5000,

A certain Richmond young lady was
the victim of an innocent joke at the
railroad station in an upriver town a
few days since. A newly married
couple were expected to board the train
at the aforesaid station and the large
number Of friends were waiting to give
them a good sendoff mistook the Rich
mond girls grip for the case that be-
!onged to the married couple and gaily
decorated it with ribbons and such
other things as they had at hand. The
Richmond young lady knew nothing
about the affair until the grip was de-
livered at her door and she was even
more surprised than the local baggage
man and the neighbors had been.
Gardiner Reporter Journal: There is
no doubt that the enforcement of the
liquor law as it is intended to be will
deprive the country Of large part Of
its income. The Bangor plan" which
had been followed in this country was
noted for its revenue producing quail
ties, while it's administration produced
many sarcastic remarks about the pro-
hibitory law being Il farce" and so
on. If the county wants to profit by
the rum business, it would of course be
better to keep on in the old way, or
have real license law. Perhaps it
would be still better to do as South
Carolina does, and run the rum shops.
If it is to make money the county
wants, It is not enforcement that
it would choose to do it. If however
it is to stop the sale of liquor and the
maintenance of drinking shops that it
wants, enforcement will do the bust
ness. as is proved in the kennebec
cities, where there never was so few
drinking shops as now. The county
does not hesitate to try murderer on
account of the heavy expense. nor
should it hesitate to suppress liquor
selling. the results Of which are as dis
astrous to the community as an
occasional murder And too the ex-
penses of the court and Jail are not
likely to be so heavy after the old
cases are all disposed. of and there are
not so many offenders to be tried. If.
however the county Is to consider the
money side of the question. instead Of
making a pretense Of prohibition it had
better go In for making all the money
it can out Of the business. 1t will
probably prefer,.good order, however.
and the taking Of temptation out Of the
way, so that men instead of spending
their money for liquor will take care Of
their families and save much of the
expense Of the poor departments. in
this way making UP for some Of the
extra county tax Icaused by the falling
off of the income. from fines of liquor
dealers.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Bath Rises to Explain.
(Bath Times).


Bath has been getting more OF less
unenviable notoriety of late through
people figuring in the police news in
other cities, and mentioning that they
came from our good city. In many
cases. Bath has been only port Of call
for these frail craft drifting into the
shoals of crime and not their hailing
port. They probably mention Bath to
the police much as they would to st.
Peter, as presumptive evidence of real
though hidden virtue, but the city
would gladly forego this occasional
tribute from such sources. as it is only
necessary that it should be repeated
often enough TO destroy its own use
fulncsS not only to persons of the
class referred to but to the really good
people who may legitimately say that
they are from Bath when they desire

Chicago Professor Announces Impor-
tant Discovery.
Says st. vitus' Dance and Other Ner-
vous Disorders Can be Cured.

Chicago, Feb. 52--Dr. Jacques Loeb
has discovered that muscular and ner-
yous diseases, such us st. Vitus dance,
paralysis agitans, locomotor stsxia
and sleeplessness can be cured by adj
ministeriDg calcium salts, that is,
such salts as are found In we'll water
and many foods.
Announcement of this discovery in
scientific research by the former head
of the department of physiology at the
university of Chicago has just been
made. In one Of the decennial publ
cations Just turned out by the univer-
sity of Chicago press, DR.. Loeb tells
of his experiment on lower forms of
life and the conclusions suggested in
regard to human beings. The subject
Of his paper il 1.-THE Production and
Suppression of Muscular Twitchings
and Hypersensitiveness Of the Skin"
In this article DIR. Loeb specifically
avows a pathological object in the ex-
preiments on this subject-that is. an
interest in the effect on diseases.
Simply stated the whole story ID
that the presence Of the calcium salts
In the muscles Is what prevents Their
twitching; that practically all nervous
diseases are caused by the absence Of
the calcium, and that, therefore, &c
restore normal conditions and effect q
cure. the thing to do is to administer
a dose OF calcium salts.
Physicians have never found . cure
for the nervous or muscular diseases.
DR.. Loeb states this, in his genera
conclusions on the three parts OF hiI
