AssOciated Press to The Evening Times.
Portland, Me-, March 21.-As the re-
suit of the publication of pictures of
ballet girls in an advertisement of a
musical comedy company, the Bidde-
ford Daily Record is being boycotted
by some of the church people OF that
city. The offending picture greatly
shocked several ministers of the town
and they Immediately lodged a COM
plant with the editor OF the Record,
which has in the past been known as
the organ OF the church people and
reform forces. The editor was "riled"
at what no considered unwarranted
interference and came back at the par
sons with an editorial in which he
declared that he was tired OF being
bossed by "a gang of domineering par
sons and bigoted old hens" and hence
forth would conduct his paper to suit
himself, SO there. Many sermons were
preached denouncing the paper and
suggesting a boycott, but the Record
Is still coming out every day and the
editor remains defiant.

The Brave Mans Prayer.

o Powers that be make me sutd-
Gent to my own occasions.
Teach me to know and observe the
rules of the game.
Give me to mind my own business
at all times and to lose no good OPP
~portunity of holding my tongue.
Help me not to cry for the moon
or spilled milk. .
Grant me neither to profer nor to
welcome cheap praise; to distinguish
sharply between sentiment and senti-
mentality, cleaving to the n and
despising the other.
When it is appointed for me to suf-
fer, let me so far as may humanity
be possible, take example from the
deer, well-bred beasts, and go away
quietly, to bear my sufferings by my
self.
Give me to be always a good COM
rade and to view the passing show
with an eye constantly growing keen

Help me to win; if win I may;

If I may not win, make me a good
loser. Amen!-Robert rockingham.

Never Sing Just After Dinner.

There seems to be no particular
reason why a musician should not be
blessed with q good appetite, but the
Saint Cecilia Society at Couvin, In
Belgium, seems to possess a ~voracity
that is nothing less than formidable.
The other day they celebrated the
annual festival of their patron saint.
There was, of course, a dinner, which
in rural Flanders is as essential to
festivity as it is in England. Two
hundred persons sat down, and they
consumed exactly 500 pounds Of flesh
food, in the form of beef, mutton,
hare, etc., to say nothing of bread
and various vegetables, followed by
much havoc among various pastries
and puddings.. AS for the spirituous
and other liquors that disappeared
well, reticence must be observed
somewhere. Suffice 1t to say that the
dessert was worthy Of the feast. They
can wassall in Flanders yet.-London

A Powerful Fish.

The power Of a sword-1sh has al
ways been admitted, and instances
have not been altogether uncommon
of his attacking vessels and burying
his formidable weapon in them. A
case occurred once which shows that
the strength of the fish is even great
er than was suspected.
A three-masted schooner, OF Bos-
ton, put into port leaky. On her voy-
age from Mobile she was suddenly
found to be taking in water fast.
The crew were set to the pumps, and
found that they were able to keep
down the water, but that steady work
was required. The hands, therefore,
shifted the cargo, and at last found
the hole, which was caused by the
sword or horn Of a sword-fsh. 1t
had passed through the copper
sheathing of the ship, through the
outer planking, four and a half
inches in thickness, through nine
inches space between that and the
lining, and then through the inner
planking, another four and a half
inches thick.
The force required to send a blunt
weapon like this through nine inches
of solid wood must have been i'm
mense.
The sword-fsh, who no doubt i'm
agined that the dark mass passing
over him was a whale, must have
been pretty we'll astonished and dis
gusted at the result Of his attack.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable.N For q great many
years doctors pronounced it q local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it in~curable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

The Risks Of Travel.

The Interstate Commerce>Commis-
sion reports that for the year ending
June 80, 1906, there. was a total of
4235 passengers and employees killed
on the railroads of the country. The
total injured was 55,524. In all the
tremendous traffic of the great lakes
this season, only 1875 lives were lost.
There are no official statistics show
ing the total number of ocean, lake
and river steamship fatalities as CON-
pared with railway fatalities on the
basis of the business actually done,
but it is very much smaller. The ex-
PLANTATION of most railway accidents
is that 1.-The brakes did not work"
So it is a fair inference that defective
appliances are chiefly to blame for
the land fatalities. - New York

MOST MODERN SALT PLANT.
Ready For the Table Without Ever
Being Touched by Human Hands.

Thirteen hundred barrels every
twenty-four hours Of fine salt
mined, purified and crystallized,
packed ready for the table without
the touch of a hand-this is the last
achievement in salt making, the final
round in reduced cost Of production,
says the Technical World.
In the city of Saginaw there has
just been completed and put in opera
ton the most modern salt plant in
America. The rock salt is mined and
brought to the surface in the form
Of brine, through wells nearly 500
feet deep. This brine is pumped into
a tank and filtered and u into set
Ting tanks. From there it is drawn
off into g%rainers, where the salt crys-
tallizes.
These grainers are made O. solid
concrete and are much better than
the old wooden tanks. Steam exhaust
pipes pass through the g~rainers,
which heat the brine to such a tenn
perature that crystallization begins.
This is a most interesting action.
Watching the steaming surface of the
brine, a pellicle Of salt forms, which
soon breaks and sinks down, to be
followed by another, and the crystal
ization then proceeds rapidly. 1t is
a fact that the estimated capacity
of each graiher, of 100 barrels every
t%wenty-four hours, is being greatly
exceeded, and more than 100 barrels
are being made.
"No such fast salt-making was
ever known BEFORE" said Salt Maker
Mason. ut beats all how the crystals
form on the bottom and sides of the
grainer. l never saw anything like
it, and I have been making salt-and
good salt, too-for twenty-five years."

The Farm at the Head.

The farm is still the great source Of
the Nations wealth, and still remains
at the head in supplying articles
for export. For the fiscal year ended
last June, the exports Of agricultural
products reached the enormous value
of s976,0O0,000 Corn is at the front
as to total value Of product, though
not as an export quantity. The total
valuation of a few of the principal
crops for the year is given as fol-
lows: Corn, s1,1O0,000,0 900; cotton,
including seed, s640,000,000; hay,
$500, O0O,O 300; wheat, $450,000,0OO;
potatoes, 100000 900. Sugar beets
is the ninth article in value, the crop
this year being $34,000,000. The
total of the farm products is $6,SO0.-

of in%calculable benefit to dressmakers
and others who daily cut cloth in
strips which must be of a certain
width. This guide a be attached to
any pair of scissors and does not in
'terfere with using them under or
binary conditions, when the guide Is
not needed. The guide comprises a
fiat strip, one end Of which is at
tached to the handle of the scissors.
On the face of this strip are the di-
visions of a foot rule, sliding on the
strip to a pointer. 1t will be readily
seen that if a strip Of cloth four aad
one-half inches wide is to be cut, the
pointer can be set at that division on
the rule, and by keeping the pointer
in alignment with the edge of the
cloth while cutting a strip Of exactly
that width will be cut. Besides pre-
venting wastage from cutting off too
much cloth, the guide obviates the
necessity of marking the cloth before
cutting.

also thoroughly beats and stirs them
up. SO that the seeds or other unde-
sirable PORTIONS thoroughly separated
from that which is to be retained.
To make the operation doubly easy
the colander portion is attached to a
bracket, the latter being clamped to
the table. The colander is in two Sec
tions, the lower portion containing
the perforations and the upper por-
ton serving as a cover to prevent the
contents from ~splashing out on the
table when the beater is operated.
Revolving in the lower portion of the
colander is the beater, composed Of
circular bands. These bands are OPP
Grated by a handle at the side. In
straining preserves, for instance, they
are placed in the colander, the cover
closed and the handle operated, a
long dish being placed on the table
to- catch the strained liquid. A half
minutes turning sufices to thorough
ly beat and strain the contents.

The Wrong Eggs.

o. D. Pitts, a farmer of Caroline
County, tells the following remark
ably story. He says he was blowing
with a pair of horses on his farm and
turned up a nest containing what he
supposed to be turtle eggs. He put
them in his pocket to carry them
home and experiment with them as
to their Matching qualities. Some
time later, when he took up his coat.
he felt something moving, and upon
investigation found that the eggs had
Matched and his pocket was full of
young snakes. He did not expert
ment any further.-Richmond Times.

Buttoned Up His Dog.

It is always a good plan to take
some old blankets for the dogs on a
winter camping trip, says a writer
in the Travel Magazine. Most Of
them will allow you to cover them
up, and it is much pleasanter to feel
them sleeping comfortably by your
feet than to know that they are shak-
ing with the cold which cuts through
their short hair like a knife.
Every tight for a week once but
toned one of the best dogs that I ever
hunted with into my coat, and after
wisely watching the operation, he
would tuck his nos contentedly in
side and bic away to the land Of
dreams, where rabbits are thicker
and hunters better shots.

New Ironing Board.

An exceedingly convenient method
of attaching an ironing board to the
kitchen table is shown in the accom-
panying illustration. Housewives in
sist that an ironing board is the
proper thing to S when ironing, be-
ing far superior to a table. Its par
ticular form adapts it to the purpose,
while the surface Of a table is too
large for the purpose. AS shown
here, the ironing board is normally
hidden beneath the leaves Of the
table, one end being hinged to the
edge. One leaf of the table is also
hinged to the one next in position.
After throwing back the table leaf
the ironing board can also be swung
over to one side and is instantly ready

Yardarms Among Trees.

Congressman Reyburn, in speaking
the other day of the early recogni-
ton of Philadelphia's natural advan-
tages as a maritime port, says that
that was one of the features which
led William Penn to select it as the
site for a city. When those old-time
voyagers brought their ships into
Dock Creek they were surprised to
see that the yardarms of their YES
sells stuck out into the trees which
grew upon the banks, a condition
they had never encountered in the
Thames or elsewhere, as in most

for service. In this way the necessity
for supporting the ironing board on
two chairs is obviated. At the same
time the balance of the table can be
used for holding the unfinished
clothes. Upon the completion Of the
ironing the board is again folded
across the table supports and the
leaf lowered to it's normal position.
