The Meaning of Mesa.

The use Of the word mess for dining
room is remnant of custom quite
common in Anglo-Norman times. Mess,
from the French NETS (meat or dish
of food and the Latin mensa Ga table,.
was the meat prepared in common
Compare thn collegiate word com
mons') for four persons sitting at
separate table. Guests at dinners and
other ceremonial occasions We're divid-
ed for general convenience into such
groups.
From this lie word came to be used
as equivalent to four in other matters
Shakespeare speaks of Hcnry's four
sons as a mess. Where are your mess
of sons?' and in Loves Labor's Lost
we find. 81 confess that you three fools
lacked me to make up the mess"
From the fact that soldiers and sail
ors are always catered for in compa-
MES, according to rank, the survival Of
the word among them is quite natural.
The same practice is still maintained in
the London inns Of court

A FINE KNOX FARM.

One of the finest farms that we have
had the pleasure to visit for long time
is that owned by Mr.. Ed. Shibles of
Knox and situated about one half mile
from the station. This farm, which
contains about $50 acres Of land, is
situated on side hill and has beau
tiful and very pleasant view. Mr..
ShibleS raises large quantities of hay
and grain but has no time to devote
to other crops as he keeps large num-
Der of horses and neat stock. This year
he cut 20 tons of hay and 1856 bushels of
oats. He also had two acres of corn
this year. Mr.. Shibles raises a large
number of colts, all high bred ones,
these he sells as soon as they get to be
four or five years old, the most of them
going to Rhode Island, where he has
shipped six or seven this summer. Be-
sides his horses he keeps IA registered
Jersey cows, making butter for which
he has private customers in Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island. Mr.. Shibles
is Ramboulette breeder and has about
so of this breed of sheep, all full bloOds
and registered. From these sheep he
gets from to II pounds of wool from
each sheep every year, and besides near
ly every sheep has twin lambs each
year, all of which combine to make them
very profitable breed of sheep to raise.
Mr.. Shibles also keeps a number of
good hogs, being at his lowest ebb now
with six. He also keeps $50 hens. These
are all Rhode Island Reds and at the
present time they are clearing for him
over and above all expenses about one
dollar day. Mr.. Shibles ships all his
eggs to Rhode Island and the last lot
Melted him 4Oa cents dozen. He has
surely made success of farming and
his farm is credit to any man.
The farm is situated about 1-2 miles
from Brooks village and is we'll pro-
vided with buildings. 1t cut this year
l25 tons of good hay, and they cut be-
sides 400 bushels of oats and barley.
They had little less than an acre of
potatoes and got from it about $50
bushels. They have small orchard,
getting from this about 10 barrels of
saleable apples.

MRS. S. L. HANSCOM DEAD.
Bar Harbor Loses One of It's Most Highly
Esteemed Women.

Bar Harbor Loses One of Its Most Highly
Esteemed Women.
The community was shocked Sunday
evening, Jan. 31st, to learn of the death
of Mrs. S. l.. Hanscom, the beloved
wife of the pastor of the Methodist
church. Mrs. Hanscom had been suf-
fering from pneumonia for about a
week, but recovery was confidently
hoped for. Early Sunday morning,
however, decided change set in and
she sank and passed away Sunday even
ing at $50, death resulting from a COM
plication of pneumonia and weak action
of the heart.
Mrs. Hanscom was one of Bar Har-
boris most exemplary and highly es-
teemed women, prominently identified
with every good enterprise not only in
connection with her own church but in
the community at large. She was a
charter member of the Choral society,
prominent in the Reading club, the
Women'S Relief corps, vice president of
the auxiliary to the Y. M. c. A., chair
man of the board of managers of the
Young WOmen's union, recently formed,
and an enthusiastic worker in the choir,
the Sunday school, the sewing circle
and other organizations of her own
church. She was model housewife
and her bright and attractive personal
ity made her home most attractive.
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Hanscom came to
Bar Harbor in the spring of 1899 and his
pastorate has consequently been longer
than that of any of Bar Harbor's
present pastors. During this period
Mrs. Hanscom has been his most eff
cient co-worker and will be greatly
missed
Mrs Hanscom was the daughter of
Captain T. r. Parsons and was born i'm
East Machias August 20, 1S4S. She
was married in 1866 and during this
long period has faithfully performed
the arduouS duties OF a minister's wife.
She and Mr. Hanscom were well known
throughout the State, having labored in
many of the important fields of the
East Maine conference including
Thomaston, Belfast and also at Biz
mingham, Ala. She had a wide circle
OF friends who will learn with regret of
her death.
The family remaining includes four
sons, Rev. Warren A., of Southport,
Rev. Albert H., of Thomaston, Frank
l., student in Bangor Theological semi
nary, and Benjamin ID. of Groton,
Conn. She has sister, Mrs. Harris
horn of Newark, N. j., and brother
in Massachusetts.
Mrs. Hanscom died in the full and
happy assurance of a strong Christian
faith. Services conducted by Rev. J. P.
Simonton of Ellsworth, assisted by
Rev. A. M. Macdonald and Rev. David
n. Beach, D. D., were held at the
Methodist church, Wednesday morning
at nine o'clock, after which the remains
were taken to Belfast for interment
in the family lot. Rev. Mr.. Hanscom
and family have the heartfelt sympathy
of the whole communicates Harbor
Record.

MR. ROSCOE PERLEY OF THORNDIkE
has large and fine farm situated near
the village and station. 1t is in a very
pretty and sheltered place and has a
fine set of buildings on it. Mr.. Perley
has 2l5 acres in his farm and each year
he cuts about 60 tons of hay and from
$50 to 500 bushels of oats, getting
about $50 this year. He also does some
thing in the potato raising line, this
year getting about 800 bushels. He had
this year about two acres OF sweet corn
and got fair yield from it. Though he
raises no other kind of produce to any
great extent, Mr.. Perley deals in same,
sending it Belfast. He keeps II head
of cattle and although he has at the
present time no registered stock he
plans to have and is going to keep tie
Durham breed, as he thinks thai they
are the best when all things are taken
into consideration. Mr. Perley, besides
his cows, has fine pair of white-faced
steers. He has large orchard, but it
did not bear this year much. MI;
Perley believes i'll the Berkshire breed
of hogs and keeps number OF them.
He has also few hens and while he
does not do any particularly line OF
farming but has try at them all, he
keeps 40 head of Shropshire sheep, the
most of them fullbloods. Thus it will
be seen that Mr.. Perley, like all pro-
gressive farmers, belives in the full
blood stock and is trying as fast as
possible to get his herd i'll that con-
dition where he can say they are all
registered.

MIR. L. c. AUSTIN OF BROOKS

has one of the largest and finest farms
in that prosperous little town. Mr..
Austin's farm is the old homestead and
has come down with lnbroken acreage
so that now it contains little over 800
acres of land, some of it exceptionally
fine farm land. The farm has been
used many years as a hay farm and so
is In slightly run out condition, but
nevertheless it still yields good supply
of hay and as they are NOW beginning
to cultivate it the 1arm Will doubtless
yield more each year.
Mr.. Austin is spending a great deal
of his time on his horses now, SO has
but little time for stock, keeping only
four cows, registered Jerseys, a few
pigs, about 90 hers and q fine pair Of
oxen that glrth about seven feet.
M. Austin for many years raised
and sold hay but now has gone out of
that business and IS feeding his hay to
good stock and horses and finds that
there is much more money in selling
Lis hay that way titan in selling it in
bales.
Mr. Austin has fine farm and is
making success of farming.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES.


From all over the country enquiries
have been pouring in upon me for adj
vice upon various topics of interest to
women. They have asked me about
housekeeping and home-making, how
to keep ones good looks, how to keep
young, how to preserve the figure, what
to wear, how to exercise, how to keep
the husband good natured, and how
properly to train the children.
The rapidity with which the number
of these requests has increased, and the
wide spread territory represented, have
proved to me the impossibility of meet
ing these requests by individual letters,
and have so impressed upon me the uni
versal demand for information along
these lines, that have been persuaded
to write a series of articles, of which
this is the first. c. T. II.

MIR. h. II. Hunt 4 son OF UNITY

MIR. Il. Il. Hun Il son OF UNITY
have fine lot of horses: also one of the
largest and finest farms in the town. 1t
is well situated on the road from Unity
to Thorndike, has good set of build
ings and about 200 acres of land. Be
sides the home farm, they have other
farms aggregating about 400 acres, so
that in all they have over 600 acres of
land, but it is scattered over two towns,
so that they have a chance to try all
kinds of soil. They cut each year
about 100 tons of hay and this year they
threshed a little over 800 bushels of
oats. OF potatoes they raised this
year 700 bushels, the yield being excep-
tionally good and large, one potato,
they dug weighing 8 IL pounds and
not being of freak shape but we'll
formed potato, its size being the only
thing to distinguish it from the rest.
These are the only crops that they raise
to any great extent, the others, just
enough for their own use. They have
small orchard, getting II barrels of
apples to sell this year. Their dairy
business is next to their horse business
in Importance and is quite u business
for them. They keep IS head of stock,
all high grade Holsteins, and sell
their cream to the Unity Creamery.
They keep so sheep, all high grade
Shropshires, and they find that they
pay very well. They also have several
Berkshire and White Chester hogs,
these being thoroughbreds They think
that the thoroughbred is much better
paying than grade hogs, but in other
animals that a good grade is as good
as a thoroughbred Besides handling
all this stock and caring for their farm
and horses they find time to sell large
amount of farm machinery each year
and in the winter they sell large guam
titles of wood and lumber, having an
almost unlimited supply on their va
rious farms. The Messrs. Hunt are sure
ly of the type of progressive farmers
and are making great success of their
farm They have a set of buildings
that are well adapted for the work
that they must do and the whole farm
has an air of prosperity and success.

MIR. A. r. MURCH OF THoRNDIKE

MR. A. r. MURCH OF THORNDIKE
is one of the towns smaller farmers,
who have become convinced that the
registered stock is the kind for man
to raise or own, and he is working his
herd towards it as fast as his means
will allow. He believes in the short
horns, and his herd with one exception
is composed of this breed. He has to
head it a two-year-old bull, Scottish
Hero, 1S53O7, by Marshall Abbottsburn;
dam Lady Bright by Charfteer. This
bull was bred by Geo. F. Dole, Bard
wells Ferry, Mass. He now has q
girth of six feet, nine inches and
weighs 1900 pounds Then he has the
four-year- old COW Beauty, bred by r..
& G.. d. Waugh Of Starks. Another four
year-old bred by Nathan Simpson Of
London, Vermont, and a third four
year old bred by himself, which is reg
istered as Miss Cow. These are his
registered stock; then he has two
heifers, weanlings, which are full blood
and will be registered, these he calls
Scottish Belle and Lady Mary; also a
small bull calf. For his heiferS he has
refused many good offers, one of $50
for one of them. That Mr.. Murch's
herd is first class is shown by the fact
that he exhibited eight head of cattle
at the Monroe fair and carried home
seven first prizes and one third. Mr.,
Murch says that he will also be at
Waterville this year and hopes to carry
home his share of prises from there,
although he realizes that he will be
against much more competition than at
any other fair. Mr.. Murch has "a large
farm and besides his stock keeps l.
sheep, all Shropshires and very high
grade. He keeps few hogs and about
30 hens. His place cuts 30 tons of hay
and this year he threshed out l5(
bushels of oats, about half of what he
raised, the rest he fed green. He also
had / II acres Of corn from which, il
common with most of those who plant
ed corn, the yield was very small
While small farmer, yet everything
MI Murch has is first class and shows
careful attention.

FAMILIAR SONGS
And Their A uthOrs.

= GO WHERE GLORY AWAITS THEE.
Thomas Moore was one of the vOlu-
min0us writers of his day, and no one
in any age wrote more beautiful verse
and composed more charming music
for it. He would write the words of a
song and sit down at the piano and
compose the tune. The following, under
the title of Go Where Glory Awaits
Thee," sometimes appears under the
title of 80 Then Remember Me-"
Go where glory awaits thee;
But, while fame elates thee,
o, still remember me!
When the praise thou meetest
To thine ear is sweetest,
U then remember me!
Other arms may press thee,
Bearer friends caress thee
All the joys that bless thee
Sweeter far may be;
But when friends are nearest,
And when joys are dearest,
O then remember me!
When, at eve, thou r0vest
BY the star thou lowest,
. then remember me!
Think when home returning,
Bright we've seen it burning,
. then remember me.
Oft as summer closes
When thine eye repOses
On its lingering roses,
Once so loved by thee,
Think of her who wove them,
Her who made thee love them;
@ then remember me.
When, around thee dying,
Autumn leaves are lying,
O then remember me!
And, at night, when gazing
On the gay hearth blazing,
o, still remember me.
Then should music, stealing
All the soul OF feeling,
Draw one tear from thee
Then let memory bring thee
Strains | used to sing thee;
O then remember me!
SWEET AND Low.
Alfred Tennyson is by common con-
sent the leading poet of the Victorian
age. He has shown entire devotion to
the poetic art, and, at the same time,
has been close observer of the life
and pursuits of his fellowmen. From
his secluded home in the Isle of Wight,
he sent forth numerous highly finished
poems, distinguished for their grace,
melody, beauty and strength of
thought, and for their pure and noble
sentiments. In them he gave express
sion to the current thought and tenden-
cies of his time Hundreds of Tenny-
sons lines and phrases have become
fixed in the popular memory" and his
works exercise mighty influence upon
the leading nations of the world. Many
of his beautiful lyrics have been set to
music. He was a complete master of
versifcatiOn, and has written in great
variety of metres. On the death of
Wordsworth in 1850, he was made Poet
Laureate. The following beautiful lul-
laby has been sung in a countless num-
Der of homes:
Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow,
Wind of the western sea
Over the rolling waters go,
Come from the dying moon and blow,
Blow him again to me;
While my little one, while my pretty one
sleeps.
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest on mothers breast,
Father will come to thee soon;
Father will come to his babe in the nest,
Silver sails all out of the west,
Under the silver moon;
Sleep, my little one, sleep my pretty one,
sleep.
