A Funny EARLE.

A Russian grand duke was once the
guest of a German prince. 1t was
early in the last century. In Russia
the imperial double headed eagle is to
be seen everywhere and on everything
throughout the empire - stamped,
painted, embroidered or sculptured. AT
that period the education OF grand
dukes was somewhat limited. This
grand duke went out shooting In Ger
many and, among other things, shot a
large bird. He asked an experienced
huntsman who accompanied him what
the bird was. "An eagle, your high
ness" was the answer. The grand
duke turned on him in an irritated
way. How can it be an eagle" he
asked, when 1t has only one headT

The learned ladies In oldsn times took
great comfort and pride In their skill
in medicine. With true professional
scorn they looked down upon the regu'
lar doctors ss upon quacks. "For Coos
sake beware what medicines ye take
of any fyssissyans Of London. l shall
never trust to them because OF your
father and my uncle, whose souls Goo
assoil." So wrote a lady in conscious
pride. She knew she could have saved
the lives Of her unfortunate relatives
IL she had only had chance to dose
them with some Of her wonderful con-
coctions or to have put upon them
some such plasters as those for which
Dame Margery Pastor was famous.
Her husband sent for one Of her plas'
tiers for the kings attorney, James Ho-
barst, who was suffering with an ache
In his knee, and to whom Sir John Pas
ton felt himself sentimentally indebted.
HE Is the man who brought you and
me together" he wrote to Margery,
land I had leaver than f4O that ye
could with your plaster part him and
his pain"

sreare In Wool Fabrics.

Few persons realize when they put
on wooden garments what large
amount of animal fats wool contains,
for to the touch woolens are not greasy.
In the big clothing shops where mems
garments are cut, however, the floors
around the tables where electric knives
clip out the odd shaped pieces soon be-
come as slippery as though they were
waxed for a dance.
"Why do you wax the fioors-to keep
the fabrics cleanT Is common query
from visitors.
But the clothing cutters explain that
this accumulation Of grease comes
from the friction Of wool cloth over the
wood. The woods pores soon become
80 charged with it that they feel greasy
to the touch, and even the harder woods
In the cutting tables absorb from the
WOODEN tibers so much Of the animal
fat that to all appearances they might
be in steady use in the rendering de-
partment OF IN aDattoir.-New YORK

Arc Minister'S. Sons Bud.

A bishop marked the names OF those
whom he deemed worthy of remem-
brance for some service performed in
religion or politics or literature or sci
ence or art or commerce or philan-
thropy or warefare, or some other as
poets Of the various life Of the nation.
OF such names he found 1.27O who
were the children Of clergymen or min
listers, taking no account Of those who
were grandchildren Of clersymen or
more remote descendants. or the chill
dren Of lawyers, there were $40, and
of doctors $50. The sons Of clergymen
who became themselves clergymen
were $50. He further asserts that the
superiority which the clergy enjoy IN
respect to their children to the other
professions lies beyond dispute. The
superiority has been not OF numbers
only, but Of degree. From clerical
homes have sprung more distinguished
sons than from the homes Of any secu'
lar profession.-Leslie's Weekly.

A terrible accident occurred in con-
nection with the balloon ascension at the
state fair grounds at Lewiston Wednes-
day. Carl Smith of Brockton, the
aeronaut, fell to the ground from q
height Of 100 feet owing to the breaking
of the trapeze ropes. His breast bono
was broken and protruded, one arm and
both legs were broken. As soon as
possible he was taken to the hospital,
with the expectation that he would die
in q few minutes. He 10 nevertheless

The asd Maine at the Fair.

The 23d Maine Regiment Association
held their annual meeting and reunion
at the Maine State Fair grounds Thurs
day, Sept. 9th. About 100 of the $50
names on the roster were present.
President F. A. Conant called the meet
ing to order at o'clock. The report Of
the secretary showed that six members
have died in the past year. Among this
number is Capt. h. N. Bolster. The
treasurer's report showed $45 90 in the
bank.
The time and place of the next meet
ing was left with the officers to decide.
The association has been invited to Nor
way next year, rs some of its members
belong to the Grand Army Post in that
town.
The members of the Esd were so we'll
pleased with their treatment and all of
the arrangements of the day and occa-
sion, that If some permanent plan should
be devised either by the state or the
managers of the state fair for another
meeting on similar scale, the 23d
would no doubt fall into line. Nothing
since the close of the war has seemed
quite so much like q reunion in the best
sense 81 this occasion, and Comrade
Stevens and those under him are to be
congratulated on the wonderful success
to their efforts to give the nations old
defenders grand good time.
The 23d elected the following officers
for the ensuing year:
President-F. A. Conant of Lewiston.
Secretary. II. Barrows of Bethel
Treasurer-James White of Auburn.
Vice. President-Capt. II. c. Haskell Of Au-
burn.
Chaplain-w. r. Brann of Auburn.
The following resolutions were offered
on the death of Capt. h. N. Bolster:

FORBES DISTRICT.

Fifteen years ago or more there came
a frost on the morning of the 9th of
September, and the heaviest we ever
saw on the first half of the month. 1t
was so severe in this state that the Maine
Farmer estimated the damage at one
million dollars, and probably it was not
far from correct. During the recent
cold wave fears were had that the same
effect might be again produced, but 1t
wasn't.
1t is seldom that the political caldron
gets on such q head of stream as at the
present time, and next Monday will
probably decide as to "who's who and
what's what" We have attended but
Que political meeting and that was when
Governor Cobb and Mr.. Littlefield spoke
at the Pond, and the general opinion
seemed to be that they would do for
another term.
Our visitors up to date were first, Mrs.
Edgar Morgan and the widow Newton
Herrick, who at the same time took in a
blackberry picking and carried home
several quarts of the ebon colOred
plums. They were the most plentiful
of any of the small fruit and are not all
gone yet.
Next in order were Raymond Weber
and Henry Morgan, followed by Daniel
Bryant, who gave US brief history oil
his recent visit to Freeport and Port,
land.
Our transient mail matter during the
past week has consisted of too many
pieces to particularize and therefore ex-
tend thanks to one and all who 80 kindly
remembered us.
