Notes From Old Maine.
March 18. 1905

Winter still fingers in the lap OF
spring-the thermome ete1 sticks close
to the zero mark this morning drop
ped to ten degrees below in some local
titles There is quite body of snow
and the ground is frozen deep. The
days are sunny and old Sol is doing
his best to warm up the terrestrial
planet; but old Boreas blows his chill,
~ breath from the mountain ranges
and thus seems master of the situa-
ti0n. The native Mainite when he
hears or reads of prairie fires and ,iof
blowing and seeding in the early
days of March in North Dakota,
opens his eyes and asks himself where
in tie United States is North Da-
kota.
Almost month has passed since
We arrived here. We have enjoyed
beautiful, cold. clear weather-no
snow or rain. and have also had the
pleasure Of being laid up with la
gippe, but in all OF which we have
had plenty Of company.
While in Chicago we went to the
Illinois theater and witnessed that
wonderful production of Wagner in
"Parsifal''. The theater as packed.
The scenery was the finest, the music
from the orchestra Of sixty pieces,
the grandest, the lay lasting through
four hours. 1t pays to see it once,
only once.
Passing through Ontario In day
time we were. n ore than ever impress
sed with the beautiful cities and
towns, the nice farms reaching to-
wards the shore of the lake and along
the river-the same ancestral homes
we'll kept but little changing in a
quarter Of century. But the rail
fences, where in creation did they get
the timber to build so much zizzag
stake and rail fence? Ontario is a
fine country, but little changed since
we first travelled through more than
OWCuVy yO0Ao 0SOs W Al1C RoSoenG
through the tunnel leading from Port
Huron to Larnia, we were lucky to
be asleep in our berth having given
our tickets to the conductor, so were
not disturbed by the custom house
officer. But In passing out Of the
kings Dominions into Vermont we
were not so fortunate. In came a
big, pompous fellow and gave orders
for all passengers to step into baggage
car and have trunks examined soon
after the officer came back, "All
passengers open your satchels and
grips,'' somo proceeded to obey-wc
put on our most Innocent expressions
and remarked, s'We we're only passing.
through King Edwards possessions
in bond" where upon the officer smiled
and passed on. I wondered II they
ever found any valuables. Never
heard they did. I suppose 1t is nec-
essary to keep up the farce, to give
these fellows q job. How much
more consistent to remove this tariff
wall and have the two countries
united commercially, IL not political.
AZ. Good ctleer to all our friends.

Grace Knives.

There is a curious class of knives of
the sixteenth century the blades of
which have engraved Oh one side the
musical notes TO the benedictlon Of the
table, or grace before meat, and on the
other the grace after meat. These
knives usually went in sets Of four,
representing four part harmony Of
bass, tenor, alto and treble. They were
kept in an upright case of stamped
leather and were placed before the
singers according to the adaptation Of
each one TO his particular part. As
may be supposed, the inscription was
usually In Latin. The following speci-
men is taken from actual knives Of the
period: PRO tuis benefcils Deus,
gratias agimus tlbi" (For thy good gifts,
o God, we thank thee.

SATURDAY EVENING. SEP. 9, 1876
Cbine.e NORTHUMBERLAND.

A traveller In the upper Tangtse prov
inces of China found in the town of
Hlnganfu many Chinese Mohamme-
dams who keep Up communication with
their fellow rellglonists Of Arabia. A
missionary who has lived among them
for years declares that they are very
quarrelsome, much given to Boosting
of their Turkestan origin, and, In spite
Of the prophets lnjunctions, drink a
great deal of wine. This is usually the
case with Chinese Mohammedans. In
Hinganfu, and more especially In Kan
sub, a few Of their spiritual teachers
keep up their knowledge Of Arabic and
are occasionally visited by Arab or
central Asian mollahs, who follow the
old Arab trade route by way Of Hami,
by which the Arabs originally traded
and propagated their faith. These mol
labs visit every country in the east
where the followers of the prophet are
to be found and keep up the ties Of the
faithful with Islam. AS they often
stir up dissatisfaction and foment dis
turbances against the Chinese authori-
ties, the latter regard them with sus-
piclon.

How Swallows Drink.

OF course we know that swallows
drink as they skim over the surface of
water. We have seen how here and
there the water ripples on u pond
when swallows are gracefully skim
ming to and fro. One day l sat down
beside q small pond where every even
ing many barn swallows came to battle
and drink on the surface Of the CLASSY
water. With sketch book and pencil In
hand l closely watched the birds, and
you may imagine my delight to see just
how they managed to touch and dip UP
the water as they came within a few
steps Of me- You see, the swallow
takes up water in its lower bill just as
you would dip up a little water in
spoon or in the hollow Of your hand
while you glided over the surface In
boat. Only the under half Of the open
bill touches the water. If the upper
half were also to touch, the water
would be forced out on either side in
stead of being scooped up into the bill.

A Lake That Stores Heat.

There is a lake that stores the suns
heat at Medeve, In northeastern
Pennsylvania. Thick beds Of rock salt
underlie the district. and similar for
nation appears upon the surface In
mounds, some of them over 100 feet In
height. Among these the lake rests
at fully 1900 feet above sea level.
Upon the surface its water is almost
sweet, four inches below there Is a
twentieth Of salt, at two feet there Is
one-flfth, and at five feet the water is
practically saturated with salt In
September, after Il summers sunshine,
the thermometer showed the lakes
waters to be $50 degrees four feet
down. Even by April, after a whole
season Of wintry weather, it had only
been reduced to 50 degrees. Expert
ments have proved that this Is due
to absorption and retention of the suns
heat by the salt saturated solution.

A song of bygone generation re-
preached the French with calling their

that "flly" is connected with "fille."
AS a matter of fact, the word "filly" Is
of Scandinavian origin and is really a
diminutive of "foal" Shakespeare

Thousands Of Women

Success Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that 1t
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored TO
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
abatement to be fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine. and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good ?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done It's glorious work for quarter OF
century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icipe has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia r.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant-not because 1T is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
