Bar Harbor Record: The frequently
recurring drowning accidents which

every day for the past few weeks. and
which have been brought home forci-
bly, to us by so many tragedies at so lit

ing to swim, but also of their learn
ing how to handle boats of all kinds.
Almost without exception all the
drowning accidents this spring. which
have cast gloom over so many homes,
have been due to inexperience in hand
ling boats. The remedy for such acct
dents is not to keep the children away
from the water, but to take them to it,
and be assured that they know the
working parts Of boat, can swim, and
know how to handle a sailboat, rowboat

The shad fishermen Of the Kennebec
have a source of revenue this season
which is wholly new to them. The U.
S. fish commission steamer Fish Hawk
is at anchor up the river little way,
to gather shad spawn. and this gives a
ready market for all the shad spawn
the fishermen get. By this method 1t
is probable that the shad in the river
will be multiplied to noticeable eX-
tent within few years. Lately there
has been a big decrease.

Sir Henry keppel a HumorIst.

A recently published biography OF
Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, whom
Queen Alexandra used to affectionate-
ly call my little admiral" contains
some stories of the humorous vein
possessed by this specimen of the old
time British sailor. When visiting in
the country at one time he came back
from a days shooting and said to his
hostess: Tve had fine days sport.
Shot two woodcocks, ten pheasants, a
rabbit and your son." One time he
telegraphed to his wife: How are
you and where can l find your" Lady
Keppel replied "Am quite well and
you can't find me-" The admiral died
two years ago at the age of 95.

THE GENTLE CYNlC.

No man can be selfish with his hap
piness.
The wages of sin often come with
out working.
1t takes lot of luck to push q
man up hill.
When some people tell the truth
they have to label it.
Some people seem tireless in max
ing other people tired.
1t isn't the stingy man who keeps
his troubles to himself.
When women grow jealous the devil
proceeds to get busy.
If we could only hook our troubles
the pawnshops would be full.
The pessimist never hopes for the
best, yet growls if he doesn't get it.
We would never suspect how nice
some people were if they didn't tell
us.
Contentment flies out of the win
dow when ambition stalks in at the
door.
The dollar that looked so small
when you borrowed it seems as big
as Ferriss wheel when you have to
pay it back.

Cause of American superiorlty.

Hjalman Cassel a Swedish engi-
neer who visited this country during
the st. Louis fair, has written a book
on american Business Methods" In
one chapter he asks the question: Us
the superiority of American industry
based on better machinery" This,
he thinks, is not the case, though he
finds American tools and machines SUI
perior to those of Europe The rea-
son for the superiority lies in the au-
thor's opinion, in the better organiza.
ton of offices and factories, the me-
thodical supervision of every detail,
the constant watchfulness that no
single branch of business fall be-
hind, and last but not least, the min
ute division of labor.

Might Better Have Raised Pay.

The House of Representatives in
Washington spent an hour and a half
the other afternoon discussing a point
of order raised by Hardwick of Geor-
gia against proposition to raise the
pay of a coal weigher from 1920 to
$500 year. The discussion was con.
stitutional in scope and resulted in de-
feating the measure. The coal weigh
err will not get his 500 raise, but it is
calculated that the time used by the
house in discussing and defeating the
800 increase cost the government
more than $1,000.

There is perhaps no other branch Of
our national administration in which
the people feel so direct and intimate
proprietorship as in the postotIice
department. The new appropriation
bill for that service carries in round
numbers a total Of about $191, 100000,
or an increase over the total of the
present year Of S1O,0OO,O00. The chair
man of the committee on postofIices
and post roads states that while the
amount carried is greater than ever
before the percentage of increase IS
lower than for any year in the last
decade. In that time the average year
ly increase has been GA per cent,
while this year it is only 81 per cent.
The largest item of increase is that
for rural free delivery. The expen-
ditures for the current year in that
service has been $25,O0O,OO0 and for
