Maine papers are printing story OF a
postal card which has just reached its
destination after seven years and nine
months on the road. Deer Isle furnishes
a story which just about doubles this.
On Monday, Jan. s, Capt. George L. Beck
received a letter which was mailed at
Deer Isle over fifteen years before. In
1890 Capt. Beck was in command of the
schooner Morris w. Childs, and made a
voyage to Turks Island. On Oct. II his
father, the late Andrew ]. Beck, who died
in 1897, mailed letter to him, addressing
it in care of the American consul at Turks
Island. The postmarks show that the let
ter was received at Turks Island on Nov.
IA, 1890, and at the dead letter Office,
Washington, Jan. 4, 1906, whence it
was forwarded to its owner, reaching him
fifteen years and nine months after it was
mailed, and nine years after the death of
its author.

The story is going the rounds OF the
State papers that just on the line between
Ellsworth and Surry, is a house so ar
ranged that the bedroom of the farmer
and his wife is part in Ellsworth and part
in Surry. Thus it happens that this couple
though living contenteily together, sleep
every night, the man in Ellsworth and his
wife in Surry. Three women OF. Ellsworth
who read this story ex pressed the opinion,
unanimously, that it was not true. ''If
the man is anything like our husbands, :"
they declared with one voice, The sleeps
with his head way over in the northeast
corner OF Ellsworth, and his feet way over
IN the southwest corner of Surry, while
his wife is huddled up in little north

The State house reporter OF the Kenne-
bee Journa al, in prowling about Governor
Cobb's Office last week, dug out an inter
esting item in the shape of letter writ
ten by Hancock county school girl to
the governor. The Journal man says:
Somewhere over in Hancock county
there is little girl, and bright little girl
she is too, for she not only is aware of the
needs of her town in the way OF school
supplies. but has decided to secure them
il possible, and to that end has solicited
the assistance of the President of the
United States and the governor of the
State, by writing the latter the following
letter:
Jan. !. 1905
Mr. Cobb:
Dear Sir II am going to write you about our
school. The town is poor and can't get things
for 1t. We haven't u map. chart or dictionary.
If you could send US map. 1t would help US.

four girls, two girls age is ten. one six and my
age is eleven. II you send anything express 10
Bucksport. VIII close. Your true friend.
The letter is we'll written for little girl
of eleven summers, and to the point, and
it is not likely that her request to Names

American eastronomy.

1t is generally recognized that the
digestive organs of the American are
fearfully and wonderfully made. In
no respect is this more apparent than
in the consumption of so-called sea
food from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Mississippi valley. The Chicago
epicure may be forgiven for liking
Cape Gods and Blue Points opened a
thousand miles from tidewater. But
among the strangers who sojourn in
New York hotels and dine in New
York restaurants, there is an unhal
lowed taste for fish which should
either disgust the eater or induce
ptomaine poisoning, or both. Weak
fish, when served under the alias of
sea trout are devoured by visitors
from the west, in season and out,
whether softened by hot sun or hard
ened and spoiled by cold storage. The
wise man, disregarding all the time
honored warnings, knows that he may
eat his fill of Holsters and crabs, and
may even wash them down with milk,
provided they we're alive when cooked
But not all the digestive tablets in
America can act as antidote to blue
fish which have been dead for days in
the hold of a smack, or have been laid
ont in the arctic atmosphere of cold
storage plant, to be resurrected after
several moons have waxed and waned
"A good sauce may temporarily con-
ceal the fact that fish cannot be en-
balmed. So. says the New York Post,
we suppose the Bostonian will go on
eating red snappers from the Gulf of
Mexico, while the Galveston gourmet
enjoys live cod beneath tropical
sun.

Prof Flux, who has just edited a
new edition of Jevons' Coal CUES
ton, FIRST published 40 years ago,
shows that that writer has been much
misunderstood, and generally reas-
cures the British public as to the day
when It must do without coal. The
rate Of increase of coal consumption
during the last 20 years Prof Flux
proves to have been materially less
than during the preceding 20. But
this diminution is not constant, as the
increase was slower in the decade
1SS5-94 than in the decade following
The average annual Increase Prof
Flux PUTS at two per cent. If the pres

Paderewski or Caruso who makes

In varying degree, it is anybody who
in the most humble sphere OF life
achieves unique excellence. The
Youths Companion tells of a certain
New England hotel that is famed for
its good cooking. The secret of it is
largely this: the proprietor seeks far

some single dish. Mrs Browns fried
chicken, Mrs. Smiths doughnuts and
Mrs. Johnson's pandowdy are famous,
