PERILs OF LAND AND SEA.
Captain Willnef's Remarkable Escape shows
what to do in Time Of Trouble.

what to do in Time Of Trouble.
For many years, Captain WiIlnef, says
the Times of Gloucester, Mass, was one OF
the best known seamen in the Gloucester
Fleet The catarrhal troubles with which
he suffered for fifteen years made him dread
the nights at sea, being unable to lie down
and sleep on account of the constant catar-
rhal dropping.
Captain Willneff went TO two different
hospitals for treatment, but could get no
lasting benefit. He constantly raised yell
low and green phlegm ana his trouble be-
came so unbearable and nauseatng that he
was ashamed to go out in company. When
desparing of ever getting relief, his wife
purchased a Hyomei outfit for him, and
trying it before going to bed, he enjoyed
the first whole nights sleep for ten years.
Captain Willnef says Il have used less
than two bottles Of Hyomei and have been
cured by the remedy.
Hyomei kills the germs Of catarrh and
makes lasting and permanent cures. JOS
W. Merritt sells Hyomei under his personal
guarantee to refund the money if it does
not give quick relief

parochial Farms.

There have been many important in
provements at the Parochial farms, on
the Norridgewock road, since they be
came the property of Father Lscroix
last April, and others are contemplated.
There has been general renovation OF
all the buildings but the more important
changes have been made at the upper or
Parlin farm which is the home of Joseph
F. Pooler, the efficient manager, and his
family. The main barn at this place has
been rebuilt stalls being put in for fifty
head of cattle and sheds fitted up nearby
for 100 hogs. Since Mr.. Pooler took
charge there has been crew of about
twenty men at work on the buildings
aad putting In the crops.
Haying is now in full swing and Of
this crop the farms will cut about 50 tons.
There is also under cultivation three
acres of corn, four acres OF potatoes and
nine acres of grain.
The brick house on the Dow farm is
used as an uflrmary where the aged
people of st, Mary's parish are received
and cared for. Two of the Sisters OF
Charity are in charge there and they are
aided by others from the convent in
town when required. The iufrmsry Is
connected with the Skowhegan exchange
by telephone and private telephone line
conrects the two farms.

England aud Germany Interested

Public opinion is stirred in England
at the acts of Russia in sending war
ships through the Dardanelles in the
guse of merchant vessels and then when
in the Red Sea converting them back to
their true character and holding up
mere liant ships and searching them for
contraband of war and seizing the mails.
The government has been asked IN the
House of Commons to explain this stu
alton. Earl Percy, the under secretary
of state for foreign affairs, replied that
the matter was one of the utmost i'm
portance and was engaging the earnest
attention of the government, but he
begged the member To postpone the
question. Meanwhile the government
has ordered the Mediterranean fleet to
Alexandria and two cruisers to the Red
sea station.
At the same time much public indig-
nation is reported in Germany at the
stopping of a German steamer and the
seizure of her mails by the same Rus
sian vessels and in the same sea, but it
does not appear that the indignation ex
tends to the sharp practice of Russia in
passing the Dardenelles contrary to the
treaties Nor does it appear that the
German government feels at all concern
ed Emperor William is in Russia's
favor and there will be no trouble over
the mail seizures if he can help it.
London papers indulge in editorials
of the gravest tone on the Russian seiZ-
ures of British vessels The Morning
Post says Great Britain cannot tolerate
the seizure of the steamship Malacca ex-
cept by the abandonment of her self
respect as a great power. The paper
declares that either the volunteer fleet
steamer 1t. Petersburg is an armed
pirate or Russia has violated the treaty
of Paris.
German newspapers refer bitterly to
Russia's action az specially ungrateful
since Germany allowed her to leave b, r
western frontier practically unprotected
in order to send troops and artillery
against the Japanese.
Russian authorities and papers justify
the course of the government in seizing
vessels suspected of containing contra
band of war including mails, stating that
English ships either must give up trans
porting contraband or continue at their
own risk and peril in time of war.
Others are bound to suffer more or less,
as it is impossible to check contraband
traffic without search, and further say:
1.-THE English in their excitement, even
raised the question as to whether we
were justified in converting the yolun-
teer fleet steamers into warships after
they had passed the Dardanelles under
the commercial flag, This is strange
Every government has a right either to
build warships in its own yards, or
abroad, buy them already built and
finally convert merchant vessels into
warshps The volunteer fleet at its
very inception was intended to be con-
verified into military fleet upon the
declaration of war;
Information reaching Paris leads
the officials there to believe that Russia
will release the British and German
merchantmen seized in the Red sea as a
means of averting international COM
plications.

The Bible is the best selling book III
the world. 1t leads. and by long in
teryal, all other publications in copies
purchased In the ordinary channels of
trade without regard to what may be
called the official distribution.
Every bookstore which undertakes
to carry n full line of stock sells the
Bible. Several important corporations
contine themselves to the manufacture
and sale of Bibles, and others find In
the Bible their leading feature. OF no
other book can this be said. Speaking
some time ago of the Unsuitable de-
mand for the Bible as an article of
merchandise. an officer of the Metho-
dist Book Concern said: Like all pub
fishers, we have to keep watch Of the
sale Of books in general even the most
popular. so rs not TO get overstocked.
But this never occurs in printing the
Bible. We just keep the presses stead
lily at work, and If we happen to find
that we have 10000 or $4,000 copies
on hand 1t gives US no uneasiness. We
are sure to sell them. and we go
straight ahead printing, Century.

Asparagus. dcseryelly favorite veg
etable, was extensively cultivated by
the ancient Romans, but was not in
troduced into England before 1860
In some parts Of Europe the seeds are
used as substitute for coffee, and n
spirituous liquor is made from the ripe
berries. Asparagus is both lithic and
diuretic, and its roots used to be ex
tensively used In medicine. In some
old recipe books directions are given
for boiling asparagus one hour, but
this Is great mistake-twenty or
thirty minutes Is long enough to cook
It sufficiently-but there was one sug
gestion worth following. Instead of
cutting off the white parts 1t advised
that they be broken. saying that =
they were too tough to break they
were unfit to eat.

Financially UnsOund.

The Democratic party in 1895 and in
1900 declared for free silver l6 to l, and
supported Bryan, the free silver apostle,
upon that issue. The same party in this,
1904. omitted any reference to the money
issue thereby tacitly and practically en-
dorsing the platform OF the two former
presidential campaigns. Therefore, if
the party has any financial standing, it
ia a free silver one. Parker did not at
tempt to put his party upon gold stand
ard. He did not dare to. He well knew
he could not dc it and an attempt to do
il before his nomination was secure
beyond recall, would have lost the nomi-
nation to him. He waited until he had
been nominated and the convention was
lust about to adjourn then he sent his
famous dispatch stating what he should
do in case Of election. 1t was very
shrewd move both as to the dispatch
and the time it WAS sent and made
known to the convention.
The convention did not take any back
tracks or in anyway amend its platform.
Itsimply said; "The question of none
tary standard, is not regarded by US as
possible issue in this campaign, and only
campaign issues we're mentioned In the
PLATFORM
In its national convention of 1896 the
Democratic party formally declared ::
"The money question is paramount to
all others. We are unalterably opposed
to monometalsm. We demand the free
and unlimited coinage of both silver and
gold at the present legal ratio of l6 to l."
Again, in 1900, it similarly declared ::
I'VE res firm and indorse the principles
Of the national Democratic platform
adopted In 1896, and we reiterate the de-
msnd of that platform for an American
financial system and as part Of that
system the immediate restoration Of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the present legal ratio of l6 to |"
That Is the record, that is the creed, Of
the Democratic party on the question Of
the monetary standard down to the
present time. The Democratic party is
ubsound and uncertain on the money
question and ia not to be trusted.
