NEVER NEGLECT
EVERYDAY ILLS.

A cold Is one Of the everyday Ills Of Life
People OF all ages, in summer and IN winter,
are liable 70 catch cold, and a cold is always
dangerous, because cold is but the beginning
OF catarrh of some internal organ = head,

that will cure cold should cure the many
effects OF cold. That's why Smith 8 Triple
Cure is so popular, why people are 50 .enthu-

cures colds and cafarrh wherever located, be-
cause it acts directly on the depressed nerve
centres, giving strength and vigor to tired
nerves, removing the congestion OF the circula-

Picture to yourself the horrors OF bronchial
catarrf = the terrible cough, disgusting expec-
toration, wheezy breath and loss of strength, or
the fortunes OF female catarrh = the swollen
bowels, shooting pains, offensive discharges,
displacements and burning distress, and then
realize, ii you can, how thankful these suffer-
ers arc for Smiths Triple Cure which has de-
liyered them out Of their troubles. Is It any
wonder that Smith Triple Cure is rapidly dis
placing all other catarrh treatments in hOspi-
tails and eanitariums and is prescribed by the

SUMMER BoARDERs HELP.
Their Influence on a Place and Commu-
nifty More Beneficial Than Baneful.

At recent Methodist conference in
the state OF New York, bishop who
addressed the gathering, warned the rtr-
al sections Of the state in general, and
the rural clergymen in particular,
against the danger involved by the pres
ence of summer boarders in the country
communities. He argued that summer
boarders are a hindrance and menace
to our country towns rather than
help, and that the effect of their pres
ence is injurious to young people in
particular. Said he, Summer boarders
also cripple the work OF the churches.
In very few cases the visitors bring
with them from their city homes
helpful, kindly religious interest but
thousands represent the worldly, frivo-
lous, Sabbath breaking class, who value
traditions not at all. They are hav-
ing a terrible effect upon the country
people"
It is hard to believe that the good
bishop was wholly justified by his view
of the influence OF summer visitors in
our rural communities. Either he is
wrong or else the summer visitors who
spend their vacations in rural New York
are of different type than those who
come to Maine. In this corner of the
Union, which we advertise as the play
ground of the nation, the summer visi-
tor business is one of our chief indus
tries, and we are firmly convinced that
the presence of these city people all
through our summer months il a help
and benefit to our state in other than
| financial and business ways. Many a
rural community in this state has little
or no public worship during the year
except that during the summer months,
which is supported largely and in many
cases wholly by the summer visitors.
In many communities, summer visitors
have bought up abandoned farms and
become more truly residents than visi-
tors, making the good effects of their
presence felt throughout the year.
| 1t is not to be denied that the sum
| mer boarders often leave feeling OF
unrest in the breasts Of young people
| when the fall months have come and
the visitors have gone back to the city.
There is no doubt that the steadily in
ereasing throng of city people in our
rural communities every summer has
had great influence in swelling the tide
that flows from the country into the
city. The sons and daughters of oui
farms associate with young people from
the city and soon learn to envy theil
lot and feel stronger desire for ths
life and opportunities of the city. But
granting an this, and not considering
the increasing prosperity of our rura
! communities as result Of the summet
visitors, we feel that the influence O
these visitors is good rather than bad
that they lift up communities wher
|, they spend their summers rather thai
drag them down; that they help stimu
late work along intellectual and religi
Gus lines, and in general, improve til
moral and social conditions. The NeN
York bishop either had an isolated in
stance in mind, which il an exceptio
to the general rule, or else the condi
tions Of which he complained are no
such as prevail in Maine during tn
summer month.--Kennebec Me, Jour
Inal.

Provisions from Trees.

There is a tree which grows ir Sumatra, Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From it's fruit large quanti, ties of oil and tallow are extract ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread. Itis said to be equally good and nu- tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.-Philadelphis Ledger.

MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
Goes at Express Train Speed.

Among the many interesting experi- menIs with motor boats, says the Lon- don Mail. perhaps the most pictur esque were those on the Seine at Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert. in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion and Bouton, brought out their bateau glisseur, or. gliding boat. It is also called hydroplane, and that flame is really indicative of it's construction.
 With De Dion l4-horse power mo- tor, the count attained speed of 28 kilometers an hour in his first ex- periments, and now he has added to that speed and has made 32 kilome- ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
 The inventor of this hydroplane is not, however, content with this, and will try in day or two to raise tho speed to 35 or even 40 kilometers, or % miles an hour, or a speed that is not exceeded by the use of 8 40-horse power motor.
 The boat itself is 36 feet long and nine feet wide. To the bottom of the boat are affixed five planes or fins. When the boat is stationary these fins hang vertically in the water. They are hinged, however, and are all under control of the driver. When%the mo- tor is set in motion and the boat begins to move these planes, begin ming at the bow, are gradually given . backward angle. The boat rises in the water and then gradually rests unOn if with fhA stern of the boat only immersed. The speed increases. and the boat, following the inclination of the planes, glides along the surface of the water just as an aeroplane glides on the air, and with not much more resistance.
 It is confidently expected that with an increased horsepower motor the hydroplane will reach speed of 6O miles ap hour.

TO AUCTION QUEENS GOODS
All Furniture and Treasures of Isa- bella of Spain Except Personal
 Jewels to Go Under Hammer.

It has been decided that the personal jewels of the late Queen Isabella Of Spain, who for many years lived in Paris, will not be sold as expected. The casket containing the precious stones, necklaces, etc., has been pro- visionally deposited at bank, and as soon as the affairs of the late queen arc cleared up and the contents of her pal ace disposed of the Comte Quiaqui, who has charge of all these matters, will distribute the jewels among the royal family of Spain.
 On the other hand, the furniture, ob- jects of art and all the other treasures in the Palais de Castillo, Queen Isa- bella's home in the Avenue Kleber, op- posite the United States embassy, will be sold at public auction.
 The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to San Sebastian to consult King Alfon- sos wishes on the subject and the auc- ton will probably take place early in the autumn. The catalogue is being prepared.
 It is we'll known that the contents of he Palais de Castillo are marvels Of beauty and worth and constitute veri- table museum Several offers have been made for the palace itself and the surrounding gardens, but nothing def- aite has yet been accepted The estate overs 4,6OO square yards of land. valued at $160 to $200 yard.
