HEALTH IN AUGUSTA.
Bowditch & Webster and Percy w.
Means Say Care Of Digestion
Solves Problem of Long Life.

Bowditch & Webster and Percy w
Means believe that the problem of long
life is solved by proper care of the di-
gCstivc organs. Let the stomach get
out of condition and soon there will be
nervousness irritation, furred tongue,
Spccks before the eyes. weakness, di-
bility. indigestion. and other physical
and mental troubles that directly re-
suit from a weakened stomach.
Of all the vital organs, the stomach
| is the most frequently abused, and
hence, the one which most frequently
fails, and SO with the discovery of a
remedy like Mi-o-na stomach tablets
which is sold on an absolute guarantee
to strengthen the digestive system, aid
in assimilation of food. and cure all
troubles caused by indigestion. an i'm
portant step has been taken towards
solving the question of good health and
long life.
Bowditch & Webster and Percy w
Means sell Mi-o-na on an absolute
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure. A large box of the
tablets cost but so cents, if it helps
you; nothing if it fails.

vitation to work the Master Mason
degree before the Grand Lodge We'd
nesday afternoon and over 20 Of the

, interesting coincidence that the can

SuSta business man who WAS himself
master of Augusta lodge when il once
before worked before the Grand Lodge
over 50 years ago.
The present master of the Grand

Watcrvlllc. the present deputy grand
master. l.: l.. Jones of Winthrop is
the Junior deacon of the Grand Lodge
and j. {. MinOt of this city is district
deputy grand master of this district.
IN the Grand Chapter, the present
grand high priest, w. n. Howe of
Portland. has served two terms and
will doubtless be succeeded by James

ty grand high priest. Charles w.
Jones of China, an cX-Grand scribe. is
mentioned as Mr.. Blanchard's success

ter officer is Thomas II. BOdge of this

Gil is Charles E. Adams of Portland
formerly Of Augusta. Tho retiring

mandcry is George c. Purintnn Of
Pennington and his successor will be
George W. Cover, ESQ. of SkoWhe-
gan. a prominent officer of the Grand

ii is seen that this city and vicinity

SidernS the strength and activity of
Masonry here. No doubt 40 or more
leading Augusta Masons will attend
the meetings during the week.

WATCHING THE BUILDERS.
Fire Insurance Folks Keep an Eye
on COnstruction MethO,ls.

Fire Insurance Folks Keep an Eye
on Construction Methods.
y builder speaking of the watchful-
ness of fire Insurance companies in
New York city in the erection of build
ings in that city says:
Insurance companies in placing poll
cies upon so called tireproof buildings
do not accept the woyd of the builders
and contractors, nor rest content with
the evidence submitted by the city
building department. Their own ex-
perts make an examination. Such an
examination is made not at the behest
of politicians or in the interest of n
group Of men, but by technical experts
whose reports must be exact, detailed
and exhaustive in the interests of
shrewd business men. The insurance
underwriters have their own corps of
expert engineers and fireproof agents
in the field all of the time. When a
large building is in course of con-
struction in New York these experts of
the underwriters watch every stage of
the development. They have no power
to stop work on the building as city
building inspectors have when the
building laws are not complied with,
but they possess another sort of check
which is fully as effectual The build
ers, contractors or owners, or all three
are notified that further insurance poll
cics will not be made on the building
until certain remedies are made."--

When a Crime is Not a Crime.

We have all heard of the colored
culprit who was "exonerated" upon
accusation of crime, because there
was IA flaw in the Indictment The
gentleman who gave life insurance
money to the republican national
committee have been similarly Eek
onerated' by the bench Of the five
Judges in New York which holds
that MIR. Perkins of the New York
Life and his associates did not steal
this money which they diverted, be-
canse they did not intend to steal it.
They knew it was not theirs to give,
they intended to deprive the true
owner of it, they intended to appro-
priaIe it to the use of persons not
entitled to it in law or morals; yet
as they did not intend to commit the
crime of larceny they did not COM
nit that crime. Great is the value
Of a good conscience. But not al
ways. In that same court about 10
years ago three workingmen, restau-
rant walters, were convicted Of ex-
tortion, which is another grade OF
stealing and also requires intent.
They were a strike committee. The
strike had been won, but as condi-
'lion of calling it of they demanded
$ 1000 in part payment OF the ex-
pense it had caused their union. The
payment being made with a check,
they called of the strike and turned
the check over to the union. TIL was
all openly done. No one on either
side dreamed of it as an illegitimate
transaction. The committeeman
had no thought Of stealing. There
was no intent on their part to COM
nit crime Of any kind. But they
we're sentenced to state prison for
three years, and had served three
months of their sentence when Gov.
Hill pardoned them. And now the
same court "exonerates" Mr.. Per-
kins. What is tho difference be-
tween those two cases? None what
ever, except that the workingmen
took $1,000 for their union, whereas
Perkins took S4S,00O for the repub-
lican committee; that they believed
they were diverting money wrong
fully f,om its rightfnl owner: and
that they we're OF the workingmen
class, whereas he is of the same class
rs the Judge who "cxonerated" him.
Yet workingmen are criticised
when they complain that there is a
harsh law for them and a gentle law
for such as Perkins. Chicago Public.

AN EcHo.


FfOm
Which 1t Is Reflected.
There is scarcely anything in nature
that eSerts the fascination over every
one alike than does an echo and COM
mon as it may become there is always
n feeling of mystery about it that holds
us as with 4 charm. OF course we all
know that it is merely the reflection
of sound from some object. as the
side of IL house or Il rock or n hill but
often we cannot tell how far away the
object is that causes 1t. Here is way
to tell every time:
Holding Il watch in your hand, shout
single syllable, as ''IIo. or "Ha!'
and count the number of seconds from
the time you shout till the sound comes
back to You. Now, sound travels ut
the rate of 1,125 feet Il second, SO the
number of seconds that clapse multi
piled by 1,125 will give the distance in
feet Travelled by the voice in going to
the object and back to you again, and
onc-half of that number will be the
number of feet away that object is.
or course the object may be only Il
few hundred feet away, in which case
the sound will come back in less than
a second, but you may determine the
distance, nevertheless. by calling a
single syllable-"Haw- calling it
again rs you hear the echo not before
or after it, but just with it.
With little practice you can do this.
Repeat the call ten or twelve times
counting the seconds between the first
call and the last echo. Suppose, for
example, that the time is seven sec
onds aud that you called the syllable
tines. Then each echo took seven
teh.- of second, and the distance,
found in the same way MS before, is
about 394 feet.-Exchangc.

Earrings have always been among
the most favorite ornaments of nearly
all the nations of the world, certainly
with those which are called civilized.
Indeed among the Persians. Babyloni-
ans and Carthaginians they We're worn
by men as well as women. They We're
always Worn by Greek women from
uera in the "Iliad' down to the Venus
de Medici, whose ears We're pierced for
the reception of earrings. Pliny tells
us that there was no part of dress upon
which greater expense was lavishetl
among the Romans. Many Egyptian
earrings of very beautiful design have
been preserved, and these antique de-
signs have been initiated in modern
times
