paletot and pony coat is in evidence.
and hand embroidery, soutache en-
broidery, laces, crocheted passemen-
terie ornaments, fastenings, buttons
and fringes are pressed into service

Sheer white goods, In fact, any nns
wash goods when new, owe much OF
their attractiveness to the way they
are Numbered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau

given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and

Jackson-Tonicht.

Frank +. Jackson comes to this city
this evening and will be heard at

Ruling Chiefs of India and Their
Palaces" replete with many additional
views of these royal interiors that
Include cut glass, ivory, silver and
golden furniture. Maine people are
Well acquainted with Mr.. Jackson for
he is native of Winthrop, although
mis- life has been mostly spent in
travel, some 40 years of wandering up
and down the world. Not only the
fact that no American photographer
has ever gained admittance into these
beautiful palaces makes this lecture
50 interesting, nut the fact that they
are marvels Of Photographic art and
presentation by means of q stereop-
ticon machine.
The moving picture Of the thousand
sacred elephants is a notable one and
the film that describes life in India,
the religious ceremonies, the killing OF
sacred goats. water scenes and
picturesque points of interest are con-
sidered by critics the finest ever
shown in this country

Jackson a We'll filled house, but 4
flattering compliment Of the value of
this lecture from a literary point of
view. Wednesday night he exhibited
at Auburn, and after lecturing at Bath
will come to this city on Friday eve
ming. Above it all we "home folks
like to say Jackson is q native Of our
own State-One of u.s.,

The bush had been a little backward
this spring in putting forth its foliage
ana he was not Il little surprised while
sprinkling the lawn Wednesday even
ing when his wife called his attention
to the fact that the bush was in full
blossom. He Immediately left off his
sprinkling operate to admire the
flowers, and after long sniff at some
blossoms close at hand remarked how
familiar the perfume was to him. II"
even felt so good about it that he call
ed in neighbor who was passing, that
he too might enjoy sniff Of those
syringa blossoms. The neighbour how
ever. did not seem to enthuse as much
as he was expected to, and remarked
that the flowers looked more like apple
blossoms to him than those of the
syrnga. That broke the spell ana the
secret soon came out that the colOnefs

cred a lot of apple blossoms and tied
them to the syringa bush for the eX-
press purpose Of taking him into camp
