Christmas Greetings.

This is the season of good cheer.
The season of the holly and the
mistletoe, time for bright
faces and generous impulses
for gladstone greetings-a time
for noble resolves to be born-a
time for old auimosities to die-a
time when the benevolent side OF
ones nature should eclipse the
sordid side--a time when the
thoughts should be turned toward
home-a time when the usurping
claims of business should be ig-
luored. A time when the child
with its golden curls, the mau
with the sil,ered locks, alike cry
"Glory to God iu the Highest,
peace on earth, good will to
, men,"
These words have been chant
ed by all Christian nations since
!, the infant Jesus slept ia the ruds
manger in Bethlehem. The or
!, pans in the grand cathedrals hav'
pealed forth these words and tn
hearts of the worshippers hav'
!, been filled with alteration; thos'
: treading the aowerless paths o
: poverty echo the praises. In
Il poor mother in the hovel as sh
). bends over the smouldering EN-
e bers upon the desolate hearth
q and weeps over the empty stock
f ings of her neglected children
:. .Ieven she hears these strains i
, the distance. and her plaintiv
), voice, so full of want, jolrs IN tn
- chorus, ''Glory to God in tn
v Highest" Perhaps this mothe
IS is thinking of the Christmas day
!. in her girlhood when plent
: crowned the board. and thes
a memories may be feeding he
hungrey heart. Theologians ma
cavil over the date and origin
this day, but we will hold fast
our Christmas.-Ex.

A Plant of All Work.

The fields as we'll as the broad roads of Ecuador are inclosed by adobe walls surmounted by the broad leaved Amer ican aloe. The aloe, sometimes called the century plant, is one of the most useful and important plants ill the country. The Indians thatch their huts with it's leaves. The leaves when tap ped yield sirup. They can also be used as soap and the spines as pins. The fiber is woven into sacks, and from it are made the coarse sandals worn by the common people. Yhe tall flower stalks are used for beans and ladders The flowers, boiled and soaked in vine gar make an agreeable pickle.-Nation al Geographic Magazine.

$4,000 FIRE AT SkOWHEGAN.
Stable and Bakery Damaged and Fou
Horses Suffocated.

SXowhegan, Me-, Feb. 6.-(SpeciaD.
This town was visited by another
fire early Wednesday morning. An
alarm was pulled at 3.55 in from box
"a at the postofiice for a blaze in the
rear of the three-story brick building
on Water street, owned and occupied
by John d. Symonds as a bakery and
restaurant.
Just how the fire caught is mys-
terry. 1t broke out in a small frame
building which connects the main
building with the frame stable in the
rear and which is used as work
room. The flames rapidly commune
Gated with the stable which was bad
ly Quilted, in fact, practically ruined.
All the bakery stock in the work room
was spoiled, but it is thought some of
the flour was not damaged. Three
horses in the stable We're suffocated by
the dense smoke before they We're
rescued, but all the pungs, delivery
wagons and harnesses were saved. 1t
was at first thought that three pigs in
the stable basement were burned, but
they escaped.
The firemen responded promptly to
the alarm, but We're somewhat hamper
ed by the deep snow. They were fav-
ored, however, as has been the case at
nearly every fire for the past two
years. by no wind and also by the fact
that the roofs of all the buildings We're
heavily covered with snow. Had it not
been for this and with a wind blowing
it would have been impossible to save
the old skating rink building, several
small dwelling houses in the rear of
the stable or the brick store occupied
by Parker & Nay.
The damage to the main building by
smoke will be slight if any and no wat
er was turned into the front shop of
the bakery or the restaurant. Mr.. sly
monds estimates his loss at $4,000. All
the buildings and the stock We're in
sured in the John G. Griffin agency.

CATA2RH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use Of tiyomei. Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

Inquiry at the local drug stores
shows that the sale of remedies for
catarrh has decreased very much in
the last year. Some medicines which
were formerly bought a gross at a time
are now purchased in half dozen lots,
and are rarely called for.
There is one notable exception to
this decrease in SALE and that is
Hyomei This remedy is, in fact. re-
sponsible for the decrease in sale of
catarrh medicines. as it has made so
many cures Of catarrhal troubles that
naturally there is much less demand
for remedies for that disease.
People who have been trying differ
ent medicines for catarrh during many
years were induced to begin the use
of Hyomei by Bowditch, Webster &
Co, Of Augusta and Geo. w. Dorr of
Waterville. Me, guarantee. that the
remedy would cost nothing unless
cured Much to their surprise. they
found that Hyomei did what it claimed
Gf it did not Bowditch. Webster & Co,
of Augusta and Geo. w. Dorr OF
Watervlle. Me, could not sell it under
this guarantee) and they soon become
ardent advocates Of the use of Hyomei.
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing with Hyomei; it is used by be-
ing breathed through neat pocket
inhaler The complete outfit costs but
one dollar, extra bottles, if needed
fifty cents.
with every Hyomei outfit Bowditch.
Webster & Co. Of Augusta and Geo
w. Dorr of Waterville. Me-, give their
personal guarantee that the money will
be refunded unless the treatment cures,
so that you run no risk at all in buying
this reliable remedy.
