Tn. FRS. Locomotive In Maine.

The first locomotive used in the
state of Maine came from England,
having been built ut the works of Rob.
ert Stephenson & Co. in the year 1885
and made its first trip over the Bangor
Oldtown and Milford railroad on Aug
10, 1897. This road was then generally
known as the "VeaZie road" and the
track was made of wooden rails
strapped with iron. The shackles used
to connect the engine and cars were
made of three thicknesses of sole or
belt leather held together by copper
rivets and had Il hole in each end so as
to hook over an upright stationary pin
bolted or driven into rigid beam eX.
tending from the end of the car. 1t is
said that for time the engine was run
in opposition to a six OK team EN-.
ployed by Bangor lumber dealer who
was not willing to pay the rates
charged on the railroad, and it was
not until the management of the line
came to what he considered fair
charges that he turned his traffic over
to it.

The DeadIiest Poison.

Cyanide of potassium and hydrocy-
anic or prussic acd are considered by
most people to be about the most poi
sonous Of known substances. This is
an error They are the most rapidly
acting Of all poisons, but not the most
potent One drop of pure prussic acid
placed in the eye of large dog will
hill 1t within two seconds, and such a
dose Will kill man. But there Is an
alkalcid In aconite root called pseudo
coEitine, one three-hundredth part of O
grain or which will kill moderate
sized animal This Is the deadliest poi
son known, being 300 times as toxic as
prussic acid.

The Number Forty In the DihIe

The rain that produced the flood
fell for forty days and forty nights,
and after it ceased it was forty days
before Noah opened the ark. Moses

yestigating matters in Canaan before
making their report. Elijah tasted
forty days in the wilderness, and Jo-
nah gave the people of Nineveh forty
days in which to repent. The forty

ERectuaIIy Suspended.

Only one dog has ever had the au-
dacity to enter parliament during the
proceedings. A hundred years ago the
lords were thrown into CONSERVATION
by dogs entry. Lord North was ad-
dressing the house. and the dog
promptly proceeded to bark furiously
at him. Lord North, considerably up
set, moved that the member who was
interrupting him should be suspended.
Thereupon the dog was driven out and
suspended in such manner that he
never interrupted again.-London Opin-

The Queer Man.

OF all forms of temper there is none

which Is known as queer" Down
comes a bolt from the blue in the
midst of apparent sunshine. and sud
den gloom and moroseness hide our
friend completely from our view. Al
injured attitude is assumed, mar
tyr's halo carefully pinned on, and
happy, everyday life becomes an i'm.
possibility. People who want to be
loved or even liked should never be
difficult. Society has not time, even If
it had the inclination, to study their
idiosyncrasies and play up to all their
petty prejudices. The passionate and
even the sulky temper is forgiven soon
er than the difficult one and is perhaps
more possible to cure-Edith II. Fow-

Camels In War.

The camel Is a good soldier. 1t may
be stupidity, and it may be bravery, but
a camel is as steady under fire as tow.
er. The Persians mounted small can
non on the backs of their camels and
called them zambwahs, or little wasps.
This fashion was adopted in India, and
after the battle of Sobraon 1000 of the
artillery camels were captured. In the
Indian nutiny the British had Il camel
corps of $50 beasts. and on the back of
each camel sat Scotch highlander In
his kilt.
In 1878 the British used camels
against the Afghans, and the govern
ment paid for 10000 camels that died
in those campaigns. Many of these
were driven to death by their owners
in order that they might claim the
government bounty. There was also a
camel corps which did good service in
the Sudan war against the mahdi.

A short time ago it was said that
Gen. Black would be made COM
missioner of Pensions, to succeed
Mr.. Ware, since the President
wishes for younger and more act

This statement it is now said that
Senator Cockrill, a man consider
ably older than Gen. Black, is
likely to be made the chief of the
Civil Service. There must be a
mistake somewhere. Only the

A Continual Strain,

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because of some
financial or family trouble. 1t wears and
distresses them both mentally and physi-
cally, affecting their nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ailments,
with the attendant evils OF constipation,
loss Of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality
aud dispondency. They cannot, as a
rule, get ride of this continual strain, 4"
but they can remedy its health destroy
ing effects by taking frequent ,ses of
Green's Ausu Flower. 1t tones up the
liver, stimulates the kidneys, insures
healthy bodily functions, gives vim and

nally dispels the physical or mental dis
tress caused by that continual strain" :"
