Two of Augusta'S well-known fisher
men. one Of whom was Overseer Went
worth of the poor department, and the
other a gentleman whose modesty pre-
vents him from allowing his name to
be mentioned in the list of the local
disciples of Ike Walton. were out fish
ing at one of the ponds over east Tues
day. after pickerel and while they did
not catch as big d string as is some
times landed, the number being II.
they won the distinction of bringing in
to town the biggest pickerel that has
been captured by a local fisherman this
winter. The fish weighed on his arrival
in town Az pounds and as he had been
o,,t of the water for several hours
when weighed it is probable that when
he was swimming round among his
fellows under the ice he would have
timed the scales at an even five
pounds.

This Season, Exceeding the Average.

According to the figures carefully
compiled by the executive chiefs of
the four logging companies. whose an
nual meetings were held in this city
Tuesday, and reported in the Journal
Wednesday morning. the total cut of
logs on the Kennebcc river this season
is a.. .SG0, 600 feet, divided as follows:
Moose river. 60 10000 feet; Moose
head lake, 30,6J0.0C0 feet; Dead river,
81, 900 600 feet; East branch and main
Kennebec river, 44,150.00O feet. W. +.

for comfort as against a decree of
fashion7 Lace Is not strictly q glove
material, but its defect In this respect
has been overcome by the insertion Of
small strips Of elastic at all the points
where pliabIlity Is needed most These
strips are wrought In beautifully and
can hardly be distinguished from the
lace itself. In the back Of the hand
the elastic Is made to look like thread
ing, but In no degree of quality does
the elastic make the glove as easy to

spondent writes from that city: Eff
teen OF the high poles used for the In
ner pagoda at the Chen Men have been
placed In an upright position during
the last ten days. To tell how these
poles are raised Is a little difficult, ow-
ing to the enormous number OF ropes
employed. From what 1 could see, the
pole was dashed round with a very
large hempen rope, the end Of which
was carried up to the top Of the scat
folding and there attached to a pole,
and this pole was attached to numer-
Gus smaller poles, at the ends Of which
were tied small ropes. The small
ropes came to- the ground and were
manned by about 200 TO 300 coolies,
who at the word Of command began

Mr.. Belts bequest OF a million and q
quarter for the construction OF the
Cape to Cairo railway recalls the fact
that the late Cecil Rhodes was once
considered a crank. The story was
told not long ago by an old member
Of the Cape parliament at q meeting
at the Royal Colonial institute. When
Mr.. Rhodes made his first appearance
IN the Cape parliament he could talk
Of nothing but his great idea Of q
transcontinental railway, and with the
aid Of a specially prepared map he
sought to interest his fellow members
In the colossal scheme. Most Of them
thought him a bore, and some openly
called him a crank. His dream is now
materializing. Many of US can remem-

4 Ellm,.y Craft.

While 1t is rarely employed by Euro
peans an a method OF travel, even in
emergencies, the catamaran Of the
Madras fishermen Of India Is by all
odds the most extraordinary Of water
vehicles. It consists simply of three
logs dashed together and flush with the

dies himself far out to sea. A Madras
fisherman will venture out when boat
men will not launch their craft, and
even IN weather when boats cannot be
launched lie will go through the surf
and out to ships with letters, for the
delivery Of which he gets a few pence.
In order to catch their ships few be.
lated travellers have been known to
trust themselves on catamarans. They
are united in the statement that the
ride on the logs was the most nerve
trying experience they had undergone
In a land that holds new thrill for the
stranger at every turn. The sea and
an occasional ducking have no terrors
for these natives, not zen the ex.
tremely young, and in reality the cata-
maran is not entirely to be scorned, for
1t Is, after all, nonsinkable.

Water Pipes and Freezing,

Housekeepers as rule do not under
stand why it Is the hot water pipe
Is the first to freeze in very cold wealth
err. They think that 1t ought to be the
other way around-that hot water
ought to Withstand the low tempera.
ture longer than cold water will. That
does seem reasonable, but little IN.
vestigation shows us that it is not. Hot
water freezes more quickly than cold
water for several reasons. In the first
place, the boiling of water expels the
air from it, and water will not freeze
until it has parted with it's air. In the
second place, there is always slight
agitation on the surface of hot water
and this promotes congelation by as
sisting the crystals to change their pc.
sition until they assume that most IA
vorable to qualification. Then the
particles in hot water divide into small
er globules by reason of the heat, and
less resistance is therefore offered to
the cold than in cold water.

the official publication of the
state and county ballot, that our
readers may acq uaint themselves
the better with the ballots which
will be handed to them at their
several polling places election

1t occurs frequently at cleo

are thrown out for the reason
that they are not properly
marked by the voters, and in a
great many instances this cannot
be charged to ignorance.
Nevertheless, as the ballots ap.

attention to the same, and to ask
them to read carefully the in
structions as to the number to
mark for each Office to be vvted

The Bed and the Candidates.

Judge Harlan and James B. McCrea-
~ once canvassed Kentucky together
as the Republican and Democratic can
didates for governor. They travelled
about the state on joint debating trip
and in many small mountain places
had to sleep in the same bed. They
were warm personal friends and So
did not object to this intimacy. One
night Mr.. Harlan got into bed first.
Senator McCreary was not far behind,
and just as he entered the bed Judge
Harlan raised his bulky form and said
in his stentorian voice, "McCreary,
there is one thing certain-the next
governor Of Kentucky is in this bed"
AS he spoke the bed Stats broke, and
Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Sena-
tor McCreary caught and held himself
In bed, and, as Judge Harlan reached
the floor, said: John, you are right.
The next governor Of Kentucky is still
in this bed" =
