when Animals Faint.

The little gray dog tumbled head
long into the area, and the maid who
happened to be standing there closed
the gate. When the dog saw she was
safe from her two legged pursuers she
toppled over in a dead faint At any
rate. the maid insisted that she faint
ed. The bOarders, who crowded out
into the area to help bring the little
animal to, derided the assertion, but
the doctor that finally Joined the group
said there was nothing preposterOus
about it.
"Of course she tainted" he said.
''Lots of animals faint. Cats and dogs
and even more stolid animals keel
over In moments of fear and exhaus-
ton. In the case of horses the pros
tration is generally attributed to sun
stroke, but quite often they are knock
ed out by a plain, everyday faint In
stead of atmospherical excesAes. Fowls
faint too, and the birds Of the air. In
fact, 1t is hard to find any living crea
ture that doesn't topple ovef in crucia
circumstances. If the liOItess OF the
jungle were up on etiquette she would

finds to be quite lucrative. At present
she has an order for rattIesnakes from
a railroad show which exhibits here
soon, and is making all the catches she
can. One day recently she succeeded
in landing two fine specimens of that
species, one of which has Is rattles and
the other nine.
Her method of catching reptiles is
merely to grab 'em back of the head
and put 'em in my basket" At home
she feeds them and sells them, making
SIS on "nice" full-grOwn rattler, and
proportionateIy on copperheads, vipers
and blacksnakes. Miss LanOn does not
profess to be a snake charmer, nor has
she any love for her captives; the whole
affair with her is merely a matter of
business. During Eerrying time she
spends much time picking berries on
the mountain, but says snake-catching
is more profitable. She is not likely to
have many competitors.

her kittens have been known to tmt-

that was in the habit Of putting her
paw into the mouth of narrow milk

and then licking the cream off her paw.
Her kitten soon learned the same trick

New Value to Our Hardwoods

Some unique experiments which have
been made in the seasoning of hardwood
lumber cut in the forests on the head
waters of Union river, in Hancock
county, are important az giving indica.
tions of new and higher value TO this
class OF lumber in future operations.
Some birch and other hardwood lum-
Der has been sent from Maine, but it has
been transported by rail which is an ex-
pensive method. Ii has been impossible
to float these woods from the forests
where cut to the mills down the rivers.
or to manufacturing plants near the sea-
board; for as is well known, such logs
will not float, They always sink. Now
however, 1t appears that a new era in
the utilization of our valuable hard woods
is about to take place through the dis
covery of Mr.. Patrick. Dorsey, former.
ly manager of the Ellsworth lumber
company, by which these hardwoods can
be RATED down our rivers to the mills
where the lumber can be manufactured.
Some years ago Mr.. Dorsey conceived
the idea that if the hardwood trees were
cut in the spring with their top foliage
on, and single strip of bark removed
from each stiek-or in other words the
Dark tapped" as it is termed-the sap
would be drawn out. Several decades
ago this was thought of but all the bark
was removed which causedl the lumber
to be checked and SO the plan was
Abandoned. Mr.. Dorsey brought down
rev logs on Union river to prove his
theory and it was found that they float.
ed well and also that the removal of the

slightest sign of Checking; the" check
ing destroying the wood for manufac
turing purposes
The arrival at Ellsworth of drive of
2,OOO0 900 feet of hardwood logs, cut and
owned by the Ellsworth lumber COM
pany, has demonstrated that it is DOS
sible to float hardwood and the success
of the experiment will be heard with in.
terest by operators all over the state.
The same company has a crew now at
work cutting 100000 feet which will
be brought down Union river next wear.
The logs were made flJatable by the ex-
traction of the sap by the method de-
Vised by Mr., Dorsey, mentioned above
From these interesting facts it would
appear that a new value must soon come
to our hardwood timber in their original
| forests, Then why may not companies
be organized here to manufacture this
lumber at our own mills? We have the
trees, the waterpower sites, developed
and undeveloped, and the capital The
time will come, also, when a combina-
ton of these agencies will be affected
and new era opened to the lumber
manufacturing industry in Maine The
only thing to be done to bring this to
accomplishment is to keep cor stantly
before our people the advantages and
facilities we have in these directions to
one day see become actualities in our in.
dustrial economy.-Bangor Commercial.

sundIaI sfaxifns.

1t is quite an Interesting thing to
learn Rat some of our best known
proverbs and NOTICES we're or! finally
used in connection with sundials. Be
fore the days of watches and clocks,
when dials and sun marks were among
the rude means Of reckoning time, 1t
was a prevailing custom to inscrlDe
them.
Among the maxims traceable to this
source are Make hay while the sun
Shines" THE longest day must end
and IAN things 90 Wax and Wane.'
Sundials spoke the truth, as may be
Inferred from historic one which was
placed on ST. paul's cross, In London,
and which proclaimed Il number none
but sunny hours" This no one will
doubt who has had occasion to consult
a dial on an overcast day.
A famous dial In Sussex, England,
bore four famous notices applicable to
the flight of time and the brevity Of
life. They were as follows: After
darkness, light" Alas, how swiftr'
II warn whilst move" and 80 passes
life"
Another old sundial spoke petulant-
ly about the same subject In the words,
"Sirrah, be gone about your business"

illness Of two and one-half months. She
was born In Fairfield twenty-five years
ago but the most Of her life had been
passed In this town.
She was lady of unusually charming
personality, possessed OF amiabli,y Of
character and kindness OF heart, and her
patience was particularly manifest
through her long illness in which she en-
dured much pain and suffering wlthou,
complaint. There are many who were
favored with her acquaintance and
friendship to mourn her loss.
The surviving relatives are the father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. D. H. Lang
ley, and two brothers, Romande A.

Tribune Review: Although due to
widely different causes, the number of un-
employed wage earners in the United
States has reached a most disconcerting
aggregate. The striking employees of
packing houses have secured the co-opera-
ton of many allied trades, and in many
cases the sympathetic strikes caused more
harpship than the original difficulty.
Other new conflicts have arisen in sew
eral branches OF the iron and steel indus
try, in soft coal mining at the South, in
the local subway and at interior cities,
while in the clothing manufacture and at
Far Western mines conflicts have been
progressing for some time. Reduction OF
wages at Fall River started contest which
quickly rendered idle about 90, 900 hands,
and forces have been reduced at many
other Northern spinning centres. South
ern cotton mill operators have decided
that Is per cent of their machinery shall
remain idle during the next two months
until the new crop of cotton is available,
and there has been further reduction Of
force by some OF the railways. All this
means that the amount of money distribut-
ed in the form of wages will be much
smaller. and the storekeePers, jobbers and
manufacturers will suffer reduction in the
volume OF business. Were il not for this
severe contraction OF the nations purchas-
ing power domestic trade would show a
decided improvement, for other influences
are favorable. as a rule, particularly in so
far as prosperity on the farms engenders
confidence throughout the country.
