Washington VS.. Maine.

Maine is not the worst place to live
in either from an agricultural or eli,
matte point of view. Read what a
Washington State man writes to his
brother in this county of the conditions
out there His letter is dated July 81,
in which he says
eve have had one of the coolest
windiest seasons thus far that | have
ever experienced anywhere. There has
not been more than four or five days of
hot weather this summer. There was
a freeze here last month June that
destroyed nearly everything. The Win
ter wheat was in the dough" and the
farmers had to cut the most of it for
hay, and it injured the spring sowed
grain SO badly that we will not get over
60 per cent. cut of our usual crop. So,
the ranchers are feeling blue"
Just compare this state of affairs in
Washington with those in Piscataquis
county, if you please. The weather
here since the middle or latter part of
May, at least, has been all that could
be desired for the growth of vegetation
and for the comfort of humanity. The
hay crop has been immense, grain is
looking finely and is now nearly ready
to harvest, sweet corn is coming on
finely and Supt. Dill wears pleasant
smile; potatoes bid fair to yield we'll,
with but little trouble from the beetle
or rust, while vegetable gardens never
looked more prolific. Not only this,
but what old citizen among us evel
knew strawberries or raspberries OF
blueberries so abundant as they have
been this season? Finally, the apple
crop will be much above the average
and Charles Dearth will be able to fur
nish his farmer patrons with all the
cider that they can haul away and re
serve his usual big supply to be manu-
featured into sparkling vinegar. So, il
any one would ask for a more abun
dant supply of good things of this worl6
than we have depicted he must indeed
be very unreasonable person.-Piscat

ORIGIN OF "STATEROOM. Is

did you ever hear of the origin of
the name "stateroom," asked Repre-
sentative Aldrich of Alabama.
There probably is not one person in
10000 who ever heard how the name so
common was first sprung. This is the
way it happened. Down in Louisiana
is the thriving city of Shreveport. The
man after whom the city was named
was old Captain Shreve, who used to
run some Of the finest crafts that ever
carried the trayeling public up and
down the Mississippi river. Captain
Shreve was a progressive sort of old
fellow, and he believed in giving the
passengers the best possible appoint
ments, and his boats were the most
luxurious that were ever piloted on the
famous water thoroughfares There
used 10 be ordinary hunks on tie line,
the crudest kind of berths. Shreve
made up his mind that something bet
ter was demanded, and that tie more
luxurious that night travel was made
the more traffic there would be on his
lines. So he had number of rooms
built on his boats for night travellers.
Then the idea suggested itself to him
that instead of numbering the rooms
he would give each of them name.
This was done forthwith. He was a
patriotic soul, and he named the rooms
after the great Commonwealth through
which the Father of Waters travelled.
There, for instance was the Mississippi
room, the Arkansas room, the Missouri
room, and so on down the lists OF
States. In booking these names for
pass angers he called them State
rooms hence the now universal ex-
preston. Washington Post.
