The EARLY Days of This Now Famous

In 1858 Mount Desert and its neigh
borliood were granted by the French to
a man named Cadillac. When Acadia

relinquished to England 1t was given to
Governor Bernard, but as this gentle
man when the Revolution broke out
was loyal to King George the estate
was confiscated. Meanwhile NJ. Bar
tholomew Gregoire and his wife, Maria
Theresa, who was the granddaughter
of the original grantee, revived the
claim Of Cadillac, and 1t was allowed.
For years the island remained a soil

We mt Times Collect Curious Things
without Looking For Them.
Few pcon.c are aware says Fred w.
SaXby in the Strand Magazine, that
we are all constantly collecting" curl
ons things without looking for them:
In the very act OF looking up at the
Meeting spectacle of Q fiery orb the
reader with the big, wide open eyes
may easily receive in one OF his own
orbs tiny sphere from afar that was
produced in a glowing streak of light
like the one he is admring.
AIctcoric dust is ever falling and up
on all parts of our planet. The little
spheres have been found upon the
decks of ships far out mt sea, in all
the deserts of the earth and on the
tops of snow clad mountains. Dredg-
inss brought up from the silent depths
Of the ocean give testimony of their
universal presence. The particles all
contain iron and are easily collected
by the magnet from the roof of any
clubhouse or other place exposed di-
rectly to the sky.
Seafarers are sometimes pelted with
dust of quite a different kind, compos-
ell of the microscopic flinty skeletons
OF beautiful plants called "diatoms"
These tiny plants live in both salt
and fresh water and occur in cnor-
nous numbers in some localities. Oc-
caslonaliy water courses and inundat-
ed areas dry up, and the tiinty shells
Of the diatoms which grew there are
blown about MS dust. There are sew
cral instances on record Of dlatoma-
ceous dust falls at sea. During the
thickcst part of the fall the sailors
have experienced much pain in their
eyes. the inflammation being caused

STRANGE ACCIDENTS,
A Broken Neck MS the Result Of the
Turn of n Foot.

Turn of n Foot.
"The man who fell out of bed and
broke his neck will scarcely attract
more than passing notice." said a
thoughtful man, for there have been
many cases equally remarkable. re.
call one case where a mans neck was
broken by Il very slight turn of his
foot. He attempted to catch himself
that Is, TO preserve his balancc-and
the effort was of such violence that he
broke his neck. Many men have bro
ken their nccks by sudden stumble
and n fall on the sidewalk or by being
Knocked down by some hurrying pedes
trian, or by a street car or vehicle of
some sort.
ut is not ut all uncommon for IL po-
nceman, with no intention of doing
more than subdue an unruly member
to break an Offenders neck by rapping
him over the head with his club. Some
times the fall which follows and some
times the blow breaks the neck of the
offender Sometimes sudden, violent
motion of the head, quick jerking
motion, the kind we make when dodg-
ing, will break the neck.
Il recall case where a man threw
his neck out of joint without breaking
1t by throwing his head to one side in
IN effort to dodge bullet fired at
him at short range. The bullet passed
through the rim Of his hat. Even after
that lie carried his head tilted over the
right shoulder and was never able to
straightcn It," = New Orleans Times

A Designing Doctor.

The Sydney Bulletin tells of mo-
torlng doctor who ran into and cap
sized pedestrian. He looked behind
him and, seeing the man still prone,
made circuit and ran back, intending
to stop beside ana help him. But the
motor shot yard or two beyond the
mark and hit the man again just US he
was getting up. The doctor turned his
car once more and was cautiously
stealing near to the PROSTATE sufferer
when an excited spectator rushed from
the sidewalk and, shaking the victim,
exclaimed: Look out! He's coming
ut you again" Whercupon the man
scrambled up and started to run.

Theft of the ca,n.boroush Picture

Theft OF tho Gainsborough Picture.
Adam Worth was one of the few
men who ever eluded the Pinkertons.
Worth stole millions on both sides Of
the Atlantic, eluded the police for
years and died in poverty in London.
One Of his famous exploits was the
stealing Of the famous picture of the
Duchess Of Devonshire, by Gainsbor-

the picture in false bottom of a
trunk for years and finally gave it up
after some negotiations with the own.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube is inaamed
you have u rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
urely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inllamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

are a number of committee rooms that
open off each of the two houses and
galleries. but after provision has been
made for the sergeant-at-ar post
masters, docket, journal and other
clerks, and offices allotted for the pre-
siding officers, there are not enough
committee rooms remaining to accom-
modate the two houses.
1t may be that the state officials will

Even though there is some en-
barrassment over the lack Of room and
the difficulty of transacting business,
conditions are far more favorable than
they have ever been before. The
quarters are very attractive and many

THEIR RICH LIVE ELSEWHERE
New Works. Wealthy Glasses Give
the CODY on Assessors List.

NEW YORK, Jams 1S.-If wealthy
New Workers continue to seek legal
residence elsewhere at the rate they
did last year, the metropolis will soon
be shorn of millionaires. The open
ing of the tax books for the year 1905
disclosed only twenty persons in all
whose personality assessment was
100000 or more each. This is much
smaller number than the rolls showed
last year. Next to Andrew Carnegie,
who is assessed at 100000, John D.
Rockefeller has the largest PERSONAL
ty assessment, the amount being
$2,50O.000. Russell Sage and Freder-
lex W. Vanderbilt come next with as
sessments each for $2,0O0,000. Four
persons-Daniel G. Reid, Alice G.
Vaderbilt, William X. Vanderbilt and
Sadie Crane White-are each assess
ed at 100000.
Some peculiar groupings of the
names on the personal-assessmen
list are noticeable. For instance,
while John D. Rockefeller is assessed
for $2,5O0,00O his son, John D. Rocker
Teller, Jr., is assessed at $150,000, his
brother William at 100000, Henry
H. Rogers 100000 and Henry Rogers,
Jr., at $25O,O0O. James Stillman, pres
ident of the National City bank, is as
sessed at 100000. A year ago Mr..
Stillman was assessed at $1,000 900.
but he swore off 100000 of that sum.

she was assessed at $25O,000, but she
swore it off on the ground of nom
residence, claiming Newport as her
home. Colonel John Jacob Aston is
assessed at 100000, as last year. The
Vanderbilt assessments remain much
the same. August Belmonts assess
ment is placed at 100000, as against
half that amount last year. and j.
Pierpont Morgan's remains unchanged
at 100000. Joseph II. Choate, am
