Old Time Illumination With Lanterns

In these days of electric lights, with
all their capabilities for brilliant illu-
mination, it is amusing to read what
the subjects of George II. considered

ERRATlC ENGINES.
Locomotives That Act as Though
They Were Bewitched.

Ihey were BeSvIfcheu.
You see a ship launched on a
Friday, and similarly a new locomotive
hardly ever makes a trial trip on that
day or OF the 18th of the month. Even
the superstition, yet he knows too we'll
to set it at naught, for just as sailors
consider that ONE ships are unlucky
SO do train hands credit certain loco
motives with a sort of demoniacal DOS
session.
1t is certainly very strange the diff
ference that may be observed between
two locomotives built from the same
plans, at the same time, of similar ma
terial. One goes on her way quietly
and smoothly. eve breaks down, costs
little or nothing for repairs. The other
causes trouble from the very first, runs
off the line, kills the drivers, gets into
accidents of all kinds and generally
acts as though possessed by some evil
spirit.
There was a famous instance some
years ago on the South Florida rail-
way "A 1O(OLIOClNC hl1iCO 81 1ldIy pCO-
pie that she got the name of the
hearse," and no fewer than three en-
CINE drivers actually left the employ
Of the company rather than continue
driving her. The odd thing was that
she seemed to injure herself.
Eventually the owners were forced to
break her up, although she was by no
means worn out.
OF actual ghosts in trains or railway
engines one very seldom hears.-New

For Dosing Oneself.

A physician recommends rochelle
salts for amateur doctoring. He says
that it is an excellent thing, several
times a day, to take as much of the salts
as may be put on a cent in a little wa
ter. That will sweeten the stomach
and act as a very desirable spring
medicine. He ALSO speaks highly of
soda, having no patience with those
timid people who have an idea that it
is a dangerous dose, doing some vague
harm to the coating of the intestines.
why, everything we eat, almost, has
soda in it," he cried in disdain. at is
an admirable thing to take half ro-
chelle salts and half ~bicarbonate of
soda, as directed, several times a day.
1 know of few gentler and still more
benefcent general medicines"

The readers OF this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure In all
its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constltu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitu-
tion and assisting nature in doing It's work.

FIRST CARRIAGE IN MAINE.
HOW n Minister Came to Buy II and
why He Sold 1t.

N6H 80 GVA8 81
The Rev. Francis Winter was a M
tive Of Boston and a graduate of Har-
ward college. He went TO Bath early in
1861 and, after preaching on probation
for the orthodox church, was invited
q settle. which invitation he accepted.
lie was ordained In the autumn Of the
same year. He went to Bath on horse
back in company with Lemuel Stan
dish. Mr.. Winter came from Boston,
where he had associated with such en-
inent men as Adams, Otis and Warren,
himself becoming an ardent patriot,
taking the lead In the Revolutionary
measures adopted in Bath during that
memorable period.
Mr.. Winter married Miss Abigail Al
den in 176S. and it is through her that
the Winters of today trace their an
cestry back 20 the Puritan Maiden of
Plymouth"
Three years after the marriage of the
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started to visit a sister of Mrs.
Winter living in Connecticut and in
tended to ride all the way on horse
back, but Mrs. Winter became so ia
tigued that Mr.. Winter sold n of the
horses for a carriage and harness. 1t
vas the first carriage that ever came
into Maine and was called a chaise.
Travelling was so difficult that two ne
groes were employed to accompany
them with shOvels and axes to clear
the road. Several times the chaise had
to be taken apart and lifted over fallen
trees. The minister's parishioners
thought that it was putting on too
much style for their pastor to ride in a
carriage, and in consequence Mr.. Win
ter sold it. This was in 1771. 1t was a
two wheeled chaise. the body resting
on leather braces. which were attached
to wooden springs.-LewistOn Journal.

TRAINING DOGS.
PoodIes the Easiest to Teach, Dachs-

BvndS the Most Difficult.
A poodle is the easiest of all to train.
and the dachshund is the most difficult.
the latter not because he is too stunid.
but because he is too smart. 4 dacbs-
hund readily understands what YOU
want him to do, and he can do it. but
he thinks he knows a better wav. and
he invariably tries his way first. As
a result. he is never trained in nv
thing that is really difficult. A dacbs-
hund seems to be always poking fun
at one and getting no little amusement
out Of il for himself. Collies are easily
trained. but they are more or less M
reliable, and they are such fatterers.
They make you think things are all
right and then they run away at the
very first opportunity. In preference
to other dogs, collies are trained al
most exclusively in the militia of vi
emma for carrying, in time of war. mes.
sages and medicine to and from the
camp and the sick soldiers. but they
are chosen more for their speed thai.
their faithfulness. Fox terriers are
natural acrobats. Within a few weeks
one can be trained to turn a somer-
sault. A few weeks more and he will
do a double turn. To teach him to do
this the trainer calls the animal to him,
and as he comes jumping playfully
against the trainer be is caught and
turned quickly in the air, much to his
surprise. He thinks it is play, and he
comes jumping up again. After each
turn be is given a small piece of meat.
In a few weeks he will run up and try
independently to do the turn over in
the air for the meat, and if he is en-
couraged it will not be long before he
is an accomplished acrobat.-Leslie's

Church Built of BuIrushes

The first place of worship in Western
Australia was unique in two respects
the materials of which it was built and
also the several purposes to which it
was devoted. This remarkable building
was made at Perth by soldiers shortly
after their first arrival in 1924 and
was composed almost entirely of bull
rushes. In addition to its use On Sun
days for divine worship, it occasional,
ly served as an amateur theater dur
ing the week and during the whole

THE MOUTHS
 OF THE STANDARD
The Opening of interstate Commerce
 Commission Investigation.

Chicago. May 1O.-COrruptiOn of railroad employees and agents of the independent oil companies, dishonest methods of procuring land leases, giY- ing of short measure and the selling of three different kinds of oil out of the same tank, and misrepresentations as to the quality of oil sold. were charged against the Standard Oil company at today's hearing before the interstate commerce commission.
 Identically, it was charged that the Frisco road gives rate of two cents a hundred to the Standard Oil compa ny, when it charges competitors of that corporation ten times as much for the same haul. The inquiry was held un- der an order of congress, and this ses- sion held here today was along the same lines as that held sometime ago in Kansas City.
 The principal witness Of today was F. NJ. WilhoOt of Springfield. Mo-, for merly for ten years agent of the Standard Oil company at Topeka. It was he who made the charge of brib- cry and dishonesty against the cOmpa- ny and said that the Frisco road dis criminated in favor of the Standard oil company. Other witnesses for the day were H. c. Deran, of Fremont, Ohio and E. P. Ripley, president Of the Santa Fe railroad.

The Senate Hurried Through With Earlier
 Sections in Preparation for it
An Amendment Agreed for the Punishment of Shippers Who Avail Themse1vs of Rebates-The Senators En- croaching Upon the Time Allowed Them

tempted to secure the imposition of inn prisonment for Violat tion of some of the requirements of the interstate com merce law. He proposed terms of from one to five years in addition to fines of from $1,OOO to $2O,OOO for unjust dis crimination or false representations to secure business at less than the estab- Ished rate. Calling attention to the fact that the Elkins act had removed
 the imprisonment penalty. he claimed
 that the effect had been a rapid in crease in violations of the law. He ex-
 pressed the opinion that if congress wanted 10 make the proposed law eff fective it would reimpose the fmpris- onment provision.
 MT Lodge offered an amendment re- storing the penal provisions of the act of 1887 as a substitute for Mir. LaFol- llette's amendment. After further discussion Mir. Lodge accepted as a substitute or his amend
