BAR HARBoR.

Eden's annual meeting closed March s.,
after session lasting three days. 1t was
generally considered the most satisfactory
and sensible meeting the town has held
for many years.
To the work OF the two public meetings
of representative citizens held before town
meeting, and the committee of fifteen may
be attributed large share of the rational
actions of the meeting.
The total appropriations amounted to
s102, 1877, while last years were something
over $4,000.
On the first day the clerk and board of
selectmen were elected as already reported.
On Tuesday Charles F. Paine was chosen
town treasurer and overseer OF the poor.
Ansel B. Leland was elected road COM
missioner for the eastern part OF town. He
has been commissioner for seventeen sue
cessive years.
Ezra H. Higgins was elected commission
er for the western part of the town.
Benjamin L. Hadley was elected mem
Der OF the school committee.
The compensation of the superinten-
uSiiS VI sCnooiS WIS nAtd W EjsGOV per year.
The compensation of the treasurer and
collector was fixed at $3.50.
The following motion was carried:
''That the selectmen be authorized to
grant to the village improvement society
the right to occupy the town hall lot, So
called, for term of ten years, for the
purpose of improving and identifying the
lot for public uses, providing, first, that
the public shall have free use of the lot;
second, that the association undertakes
speedily and without expense to the town,
to improve the lot in creditable manner,
and to maintain it in proper state during
the continuance of the lease; and on the
further condition, third, that the town re-
serves the right Tin case it shall decide to
erect a town hall or other permanent
building on the leased premises before the
expiration of ten years) to terminate the
lease at any time on giving reasonable no.
tice, and on reimbursing the association
provements; such reimbursement not to
include cost of maintenance and not to
exceed 5000"
The following resolve was adopted:
ssThat it is the sentiment of this meeting
that the shore path, commonly known as
the tow path, should be kept open through
out the entire year for the use of the pub
lie, and that the selectmen take immediate
steps to ascertain what rights, il any, the
town or public has in and to said path, or
any portion thereof, and to confer with
the landowners relative to making ar
rangements to keep said path open, and to
make full report in print at the next an
nual town meeting"
The following committee was appointed
to consider all matters of the town calling
for an expenditure OF money and to report
to caucus previous to the next annual
town meeting: f. c. Lyman, b. S. Hig-
gins, d. w. Mckay, Roscoe Eddy, c. B

If you will adopt the Home Health

suggest that you practice thorough

should take cold sitz baths at least
every other night until the constipation
is cured.

THE STORY OF AN INVENTION
How Sir Henry Bessemer Saved HIS
Country Millions by His Stamp.

In recently published autobiogra-
ply of Sir Henry Bessemer is told how.
in 1888, when he was a youth of twen-
ty, he learned that the British Govern
ment was losing about $4,000 year
through the use Of forged stamps. He
set about finding remedy. In nine
months he discovered how to forge
Government stamps with the greatest
ease. This was a risky bit of knowl-
edge for a struggling young man who
wanted money wherewith to get mar
ried to the girl of his choice. But
young Bessemer, having invented
forthwith the perforated stamp that is
now known everywhere, went gayly to
the Government officials with the forg-
genuine. When Sir Charles Presley
passed them as genuine, Bessemer re-
marked that he knew they We're forg-
eries-"simply because l forged them
myself" Then he suggested remedy.
1t was accepted. Bessemer was Of
fered the post of superintendent Of
stamps-for plant and staff must be
reOrEdulZeu-dl SoONO 10 TfOOV year.
Young Bessemer went away happily
to tell his good luck to the girl Of his
choice. He explained to her the situa-
ton, how old stamps had been picked
off documents and used again, and how
he had invented an elaborate plan to
remedy this. But surely" said the
young lady, ''if all the stamps had
date put on them they could not at a
future time be used without detec-
ton" This rather startled young Bes-
semer. But he devised simple method
of marking the date. The British Gov
ernment was delighted. The device
was accepted. And as no change Of
machinery or staff was needed, Besse-
mer was informed that no superintend-
ent of stamps would be appointed.
Thus he had deprived himself of job.
Forty-tive years later, after he haj
invented the "Bcssemer process" Of
preparing iron and had made great
fortune, Bessemer wrote to Lord Bea-
constield then Prime Minister, point
ing out that he had saved the country
millions without the reward of penny.
He no longer wanted money, but the
Government acknowledged the debt
and paid it with a knighthood.-Chi
