POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.
English Writer Sees Significance In
GIorification of Robbers.

The idea of private property has
never been fully accepted by the
masses of the people, and never had
their cordial approval as IN institu-
ton, says a writer in the London
News. The most popular songs and
ballads of our nation in all ages. it
may be noted, have been those which
described sympathetically attacks on
private property. from the Robin Hood
cycle to the broadsheets in which
Turpin and Sheppard were made
heroes.
Even nowadays the literature that
really touches the people, the litera-
lure that the educated classes seldom
80 much as see exposed for sale the
literature that is sold in the small
general shop in the back street, and
costs fewer pennies than the novel we
know costs shillings, still very largely
deals with the romantic exploits of
the robber. He is never a villain; he
is noble and generous to fault; but
he is convinced of the improperly of
persons having too much money.

SPLENDID APRIL TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm
less to Use.

This is known as Blood Cleaning
Time" especially among the older
folks. who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores,
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice. which
will be appreciated by many readers.

The magnificent building of the Car.
negie Institute of Pittsburg, which has
just been dedicated in the presence of
representatives of foreign govern
ments and men of learning from all
over the world. is a memorial and
tribute to human aspiration. 1t is not
accident, but significant and natural
thing that this great peoples universe
ty should rise in the heart of the roar
ing. grimy Birmingham of America.
Here the great fortune of the donor
was in large part made. Here are the
men who helped him make it. Here
he. too, in his youth, worked with
head and hands. and felt that insatiate
the new institute will help to satisfy.
To this day Mr. Carnegie holds in
grateful memory the persons who
helped him by such small favors as
the loan of single book. The Car
negie Institute embraces five great de-
partments: the library, with quarter
of million volumes; the museum con-
tanning one of the finest natural his
tory collections in the world; the art
gallery. with its annual international
jury and generous prizes; the music
hall. where the best work of great
composers has an adequate presenta-
ton; and the great group of technical
schools. for admission to which 10000
students have already applied. 1t
would be unjust to overlook the cour-
age and the far-sighted generosity of
the city of Pittsburg in building up
the institute, says the Youths Com
panion. Every offer which Mr.. Car
negie has made has been met halfway
by the municipality. and every step
his philanthropy has advanced has
been promptly paralleled by the city.
Skilled workmen and the great indus
tries in which they are engaged have
made Pittsburg one of the great
American cities. The Carnegie Insti-
tute will help to place 1t among the
great educational and artistic and
musical centers. Although its physical
atmosphere is dark and smoky. its
mental outlook is bound to be clear
wholesome and invigorating.

The SentineI's Poppycock and Pes
sinisn1

The Maine Farmer very sensibly re-
fuses to continue the debate with the
Waterville Sentinel regarding farm
conditions in Maine. The Sentinel. in
its zeal to make Democratic campaicn
capital. tried desperately to show that
Maine agriculture is on the decline and
Maine farmers not 50 well off as they
used to be. OF course this contention
is utter nonsense, as every Maine
farmer knows. and both the Journal
and the Farmer promptly and conclu-
sively demonstrated its absurdity The
Sentinel, however, with the mixture OF
poppycock and pessimism which char
acterizes its political differences, has
continued to run down Names great
est industry, which was never 50 pros
porous as now, and seems grieved that
the other papers will not continue the
controversy. The Farmer speaks an
other final word as follows:
The Watervile Sentinel. chagrined
at the rcbuke of the Farmer charging
1t with wilful attempts to disparage
and misreprcsent farm conditions in
Maine. again reSurrectS the ridiculous
statistical figures and asks the Farmer
to say whether those figures are false
or true and why. Those questions have
been fully and specifically answered in
former numbers of the Farmer since
this question has been on the tapis in
manner that cannot fail to convince
any one having accurate knowledge of
Maine farm conditions. and those who
have not are not TO be considered. We
refuse at this time to be drawn again
into further repetition of points already
incontrove rtibly proven in order that
our Waterville contemporary and few
other Maine papers that are willing to
place ignominy on the basic industry
Of the State to the end that political
aspirations may be advanced or pessi-
mistic inclinations satisfied. Away with
such an unworthy use of the twentieth
century press.
