Costly Fit of Spite.

Newfoundland's ill-considered plan
of Djuring New England's fishing industry
by enacting a bait law to be enforced
against our fishermen with the same
severity as has been the law against the
French, many prove boomerang. Any
American craft found within the three
mile limit. with bait which has been
purchased within the colony, will be sub
ject to confscation. That so drastic law
will be great hardship to the men from
Maine and Massachusetts cannot be de-
med but that Newfoundland will not
suffer from the operation of her law which
was passed in retaliation for rejection by
this county of the treaty is very improb-
able Her people will be cut off from a
long. enjoyed income, and the pinch Of
actual poverty will be felt by many in
consequence On the other hand. our
refourseful fisher folk will find ways to
offset the retriction. Indeed, boats are
already being fitted up for securing thier
own bait, and plan is under considera-
ton for supplying the feet on the fishing
grounds from steam tenders. That the
colony has, in her foolish wrath, bitten off
her nose to spite her face is the opinion
of many who understand all phases OF the
ituation.-Portland Advertiser.

A hit of Superstition.

Art-SchOoling for Americans
In Rome.

What the Academy in Rome proposes
to do is to provide the opportunity for an
artist to cultivate himself, to give him the
advantages OF cloistra,ion for period
long enough for him to absorb the ideals
of the great art of the past, and to stimu-
late his imagination and his invention by
close acquaintance with the masterpieces
with which Rome abounds in overwhelming
profusion. Rome has been selected be-
cause there. more than in any other place
n the world, the allied arts of architecture
sculpture, and painting Can be studied to
the best advantage and under the most
favorable circumstances, and the sister
art OF music can be studied to great profit.
Besides the clolstration, which consists of
residence in the villa belonging to the
Academy. with the uninterrupted pursuit
OF studies, under competent and sympa-
thetic direction, a.certain amount OF travel
is also an important part of the curriculum.
The period OF travel varies, of course,
according to the profession. Music, for
example, which is one of the departments,
as it is in various foreign academies,
requires more study away from Rome
than the other branches American Mon

A Former Pronounced Dyspephc He NOW
Reioices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor, he
SAYS. 81 was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
we're almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which l learned from
friends in France, have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills 1t
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is native OF
Aix-les. Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2489 Larkin street, San Francisco
Gal. He is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efhcacy OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea. pain Oh
burning in the stomach. vertigo, ner
vousness, insomnia, or any of the Other
miseries of dyspeptio, get rid OF thu
weakness Of the digestive organs by thu
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid IL
forwarding recovery once begun, and
little book, "What to Eat and How t.
Eat, may be obtained by any one VIII

In ArOOstOOk.

A prominent hardware man of Caribou
when in Portland the other day and when
in conversation with Maine Central
official gave some idea how the farmers do
business in the Aroosook in the way
of clearing their lands; He said that in
clearing up the land there dynamite was
used in blasting out the stumps and a
number years ago hardware dealer would
get in stock OF 100 lbs of dynamite and
It would last him practically an entire
season. Now he said some dealers sell it
at as high rate sometimes as one ton a
day.
Regarding the potato outlook, the mer-
chant said that the farmers were now
doing their seasons planting and that the
indications were that instead of crop of
seven or eight millions the same as last
year, he would not be surprised if the en-
ormous figure of 10, 1000, 900 bushels were
raised. The Aroostook land is of such
peculiar makeup that it does not seem TO
wear out and it is expected that potatoes
will be able 10 be raised there as long as
the farmers care to continue doing so.
