FISH KILLED BY A STORM.
Kennebeo Journal.

1t is a pretty rough storm which kills
fish in the sea by the wholesale. After
one OF the recent storms there were
bushels and bushels OF dead cunners on
the beach at Peaks Island. The fisher
men explain 1t by saying the force OF
the gale and incoming tide drove the
cunners from deep into shallow water
near the shore, where they became
thoroughly chilled and finally helpless,
after which the waves washed them up
on the beach.

On the whole, we imbibe pretty freely

Anyone may take the population and
figure it into the total consumption and
see that the individual allowance is a
big one, but even that would not give
any fair idea of the quantity consumed
per capita among the drinkers, for be-
sides the number of adults who do not
drink at all, there are the infants and
others to figure out. Those who are
taxing themselves with the practical
work of helping along the consumption
are evidently finding it little hard
to keep it up, in view Of the increasing
number who are deserving their ranks
and letting it alone altogether. E..

An Exhibit Worth Space.

The management Of the state fair has
declined to provide space in the fair
building for an exhibit by the state
dairy and food department. The chief
feature Of that exhibit, which was
shown last year at the St. Louis. expo
sition aE'l attracted considerable atten-
ton, is graphic illustration Of food
authorizations, showing especially the
harmful character Of the coloring
agents used to deceive the public.
There is nothing in which the public
is more in need of education than the
pure food question, and no subject that
lies closer to the health and welfare Of
the people. The state department was
evidently late in applying for space at
the fair grounds, but the Importance of
the exhibit would seem to warrant an
extraordinary effort to accommodate at
least the most significant features of it,
An exhibit Of merit and interest
enough to be given space at world g
fair ought surely to be recognized in
its own state. The public is getting
interested in the subject Of food adul-
teratior, and if the fair management
will reconsider it's decision and give the
state exhibit place, it is safe to say
that it will attract many interested Wis.,

Loubet, Frances Great Servant.

The French press is, with general re-
greet, recording the fact that the presi-
dent Of the republic, M. Loubet, will
not stand for another term. The pop
nlaritv of the little bourgeois who came
to the Elysee in 1899, is phenomenal,
considering the groans with which his
advent was greeted. M. Loubet was
not the stamp of man to impress the
gay porul2ce Of Paris He was short,
mild, stout ard plebeian. His predeces-
sor, M. Eaure, while not born aristo-
crat, had made a brave attempt to
maintain social standard. He had,
in fact, distressed few real republi-
cans by the observance Of forms which
trod closely upon monarchy. Loubet
entered the palace as he might have
entered his law office, hung up his hat
and sat down at his desk
From the day Of his arrival his pop
ularitv began to grow until today, near
the close Of his seven-years term, he is
the idol of France. He has deserved
the plaudits Of the republic, for he has
been the most successful president of
France. Mcmahon, Grevy, Carnot,
Casimir-Perier, Faure, all tried their
hand at the job, which is described as a
monarchical office, stripped of both in
fluencc and power, and all failed. Mr..
Mcmahon was driven from the palace
by the master political mechanic of his
time, Gambetta. Grevy was forced to
resign by the deputies who caught his
relatives red-handed, grating on the re.
public. Carnot, who was assassinated
was the NEST successful, next to Loubet
and for reasons akin to those which
have added constantly to Loubet' s use
fulness to his country. Casimir-P eriel
made notable failure Of his presidency
and resigned. Faure died in office
regretted, perhaps, more largely by his
servants who robbed him than by any
one else. Loubet alone has. completed
