WANTED HIGH WAGES.

| Captain Graham of the ship Erskine
| NJ. Phelps is having considerable trou-
| bic in securing a crew in Manila.

! the men refused to do so desiring the
same pay which sailors shipping out
of American ports received, which is
| $50 a month whereas the scale of
wages in Manila is only SIS. The cap

he has now got together a crew of

to sign them on this afternoon but will
be delayed owing to the storm now
raging.-Manila Times.

But on Feb. %, 1899 eleven months

A meeting of unusual interest was
held in Bangor Dec. 9Th under the ans
pices of the Bangor theological semi

workers especially interested in the re-
latlon OF boys and young men to the
church. The program opened in the
morning with devotional exercises led
by Pres. David N. Beach, Sec. Robert

on work among boys, by Herbert G.
Libby of Watervile.
In his address Rev. d. L. Wilson ex-
planned that vital problem of church
and Sunday school work is to keep the
young men interested in the work
comparatively speaking there is very
little done in our churches for young
men and boys other than the usnaI
efforts of the Sunday services and of
the various young peoples societies.
Now, sad the speaker, there are at
least thee lines of work that NAV ap-
peal to young lives. They are tie
literary club, the gymnasium and the
camping expedition. They may be
utilized separately or collectively in
one organization which latter forms an
excellent work i'll the church. Mr.
Wilson then discussed these three
forms OF getting closer to the Young
men and made very attractive pictures
OF a literary club of life in the woods
and the enjoyment of athletics in well

Autographed in twelve colOrs and gold, has
been described.
The passenger department of the Bangor

the dates marked in white ON black ground
and occupying a very unobtrusve place at
the bottom of the calendar.

A NEW HISTORY OF CAMDEN.

For a mum Der of years there has been
a big call for a history of Camden. The
edition of Locke's history was long ago
exhausted, and, furthermore, there is
much Camden history since the time OF

form. No one, however, until now, has
been willing to undertake the immense
task of compiling a new history OF
It is. therefore, with great pleasure
that we announce that Hon. Reuel

going to marry IN Egyptian woman, |
would take her to Norway, or up to-
wards the north pole, where it is night
all day, and you wouldn't realize that
you were married to a colored woman.
To be around among these Egyptians is
a good deal like having a pass behind
the scenes at the play Of Ben Hurin New
York, only here the dark and dangerous
women are the real thing, instead OF
being white girls with black paint on.
We have just got back from the pyra-
mids, and dad is being treated for spinal
meningitis, on account of riding a camel.
| never tried harder to get dad to go
anywhere on the cars than | did to get
him to go to the pyramids by rail, as a
millionaire should, but he said he was
going to break a camel TO the saddle,
and then buy him and take him home
for a side show. So we went down to
the camel garage, and hired a camel for
dad. and four camels for the arabs and
things he wanted for an escort, and a
jackass for me. There were automobiles
and carriages, and trolleys, and every
thing that we could have hired, and
been comfortable for the ten-mile ride,
but dad was mashed on the camel, and
he got it.
Well, sir, it was not n of these
worlds fair camels that lay down for
you tosget on, and then got UP on the
installment plan, and chuck you for
ward and aft, but a proud Egyptian
camel that stands up straight and
makes you climb up on a %stepladder,
Dad got along up the camel's ribs,
when the stepladder fell, and he grabbed
hold of the hair on the two humps, and
the humps were loose and they Topped
over on the side, and it must have hurt
the camels feelings to have his humps
pulled down, so he reached around his
head and took a mouthful out of the seat
of dads pants, and dad yelled to the
camel to let go, and the Arabs amputat-
ed the camel from dads trousers, and
pushed dad up on top with a bamboo
pole with a crotch in it, and when dad
got settled between the humps he said,
LET 'er go" and we started.
Dad could have had a camel with a
platform on top, and an awning, but be
insisted on taking his camel raw, and
he sat there between those humps, his
trousers worked up towards his knees,
showing his red socks and blue drawers,
and his face got pale from sea sickness,
and the red. white and blue eolors made
me think Of a fourth of July at home.
We went out Of town like a wild west
show, and dad seemed happy, except
that every time an automobile went
whizzing along, dads camel got the
Jumps and waltzed sideways, out into
the sandy desert, and chewed at dads
socks, so part of the time dad had to
draw UP his legs and sit on one hump,
and put his shoes on the other hump.
The Arabs on the other camels would
ride up alongside and steer dads camel
back into the road, by sticking sharp
sticks into the camel, and the animal
would yawn and groan and make up

FADS IN SIZES OF CIGARS.
Queer Notions Crop Out Among the
Smokers Who Think They
Know 1t All.


Two smokers stood in one Of the
cigar shops in the vicinity of the
stock exchange. during the rest hour,
says the New York Sun.
you have all sizes of cigars" said
one of the smokers as he surveyed
the stock, Then these questions and
answers followed:
"Gn length" replied the s%hopkeeper,
the average cigar is from four to FIVE
inches"
HAS the size of a cigar anything to
do with the price,"
Sometimes. Not always. The sto
gle Is longer than the average length
and everybody knows what a stogle
costs. They are seven inches long.
Il have another cigar the same
length as a stogie, which sells three
for a dollar. The cigar that sells
three for a half is about FIVE and a
half inches long, but it is thicker than
the cigar Of the same length that sells
for ten cents straight or Is cents
straight"
What is the weight of an average
cigar?"
"All depends on the tobacco. One
cigar that sells for ten cents weighs
about one-fourth Of an ounce. An.
other, the same size, weighs an eighth
Of an ounce. and still another of the
same size, that CELLS at the same price,
weighs half an ounce. The brand that
sells three for a dollar is the same
weight"
Il suppose there are fads In sizes Of
cigars just as there are fads in fash.
ion?"
"Well, you're on. Just at present
the fad seems to be long cigars Of the
panatela shape, They are all prices,
too, from five cents up"
isn't it a fact that the average
smoker-I don't mean men who run
to fancy prices and buy by the box
buys the five cent cigar?"
More FIVE cent cigars are now sold
than formerly" the s%hopkeeper re.
piled. 1.-THE flve-cent panatela shape,
for instance, we sold for ten cents
straight when we paid duty--I am re.
ferring to the Porto Rico cigars.
Il have one customer who used to
buy them by the box, at five dollars.
When the duty was taken off | gave
him one Of the brand one day and told
him it was a new five-cent cigar that
| had just put on the market. He
smoked about half OF II and said 1t
was enough. and he wanted his old
smoke. Then told him It was the
same, less the duty"
Then what ~happened?"
what usually happens? You smok.
ers think you know more about cigars
than we who make them. That man
wouldn't have 1t. He insisted on
smoking a ten-cent straight, and !
gave 1t to him. Price is what gov.
erned him, just as It governs most
men when they buy. The average
man is not much OF a bargain hunter
