Million Dollar Corporation Formed with
All Capital Paid In.

The census of poultry of the State is
being taken the present year by the
State assessors. This work is under
taken every fifth year, the last hav-
ing been made in 1898. Returns are
now in from many of the towns of the
State, although few of the cities have
responded as yet. From a cursory ex-
animation of these returns at the
office Of the State assessors it does not
appear that any gain will be record
ed over the census of five years ago. 1t
has been thought that a handsome in
crease would be shown by this years
census, but it is feared that such will
not be the fact. For instance the
town Of Bremen in Lincoln county in
1898 reported S270 hens, while this
years report shows that the number
is only 6779. Monhegan plantation in
the same county had 220 hens in 1898,
but this year only ITS are registered by
the local assessors.
Fourteen of the towns of Kennebec
county have made returns of poultry.
These returns indicate that the num-
Der of hens is somewhat smaller than
was the case in 1898. The following
table gives the number of hens re-
ported from these towns as compared
with the number reporated at the last

The sleeping echoes of her quiet room
Are never walked by bursts of childish
glee,
And up the polished staircase never come
Light gatherings of footsteps swift and
free.
Alone she sits and in the twilight gloom
Dreams happily of what shall never
bel
Sometimes her wistful fancy strews the
floor
(Rich carpeted and neaO with broken
toys;
Paints finger prints on window glass and
door,
Hears echoes of shrill laughter and
rude noise;
All that a tired mother might deplore
Would seem to her starved heart as
priceless joys!
Till, from the world without, some sud-
den note
OF childish voices through her hearing
rings,
And sobs of anguish rise to her white
throat,
Round which no dimpled arm in mis-
cnlet C1ngS,
Gone are the sweet dream-fancies, as
may float
From earth to heaven the fash of angel
wings.
And yet, no little empty crib is there
To mock the mother arms, outstretch-
ed in vain,
She boards no shining tress of silken
hair,
No tiny grave where buried hopes lie
slain;
Only the deeper loss she has to bear
Upon whose heart no babe of hers has
lain.

In English STYLE.

Curious customs are started by the
French in the endeavor to be like tho
English In some of their ways. For
instance, among the middle classes,
when a special dinner is given in the
English style" the length of the din
ing table Is loaded with immense dish
es, their shape and form each indi-
eating their contents, In the same way
as the rounded cover Of a cheese dish,
in the form of a cheese, tells its own
story. One of these dishes will be
butter colored, and rounded knobs, rep
resentative of plain boiled potatoes,
will ornament the cover; another Of
green and white will have raised cab
bage leaves running over. while yet
another is all In ridges, indicative Of
bundle of asparagus. The wells of the
dishes themselves are all treated in the
same way. and the coloring. roughly
speaking. is correct.
