The secret OF this matronly health and beauty
may be told in the brief phrase, Dr. Pierce's
Fayorite Prescription. The general health Of
woman is so intimately related to the local
health OF the delicate womanly organs. that
where these are diseased, the whole body

Daily Life in America .


At recent dinner in London the con-
versation turned to the subject OF lynch
ing the in United States. It was the general
opinion that large percentage Of Ameri-
cans met death at the end Of 6 rope. Finally
the hostess turned to an American who
had taken no part in the conversation, and
said:
sYou, sir, must have often seen these
affairs9"
"Yes," he replied, tive take q kind Of
pride in seeing which city can show the
greatest number of lynchings yearly"
''Oh, do tell us about q lynching you
have seen YOURSELF" broke in half dozen
voices at once.
"The night before sailed for England, y
said the American, 81 was giving q dinner
at hotel to party Of intimate friends
when colored waiter spilled plate OF
soup over the gown Of lady at an adjoin-
ing table. The gown was utterly ruined,
and the gentlemen OF her party at once
seized the waiter, tied rope around his
neck, and at signal from the injured lady,
swung him into the air."
"Horrible!" said the hostess with a
shudder. Sand did you actually see this

Height of Mt. Katahdin

In the grammar schools the youth learns
that Mount Katahdin is Names highest
peak, but he never hears Of it afterward
This neglect is extraordinary in view OF
Names attractiveness to an army OF
hunters and summer vacationists, and the
location Of this mountain within fifty
miles of Bangor.
The national geological survey has Just
completed study of Katahdin which
explains why we know so little of it.
Even in these days of rapid transit, the
region surrounding it is so inaccessible
that week must be allowed for the round
trip between the nearest railroad station,
and il the explorer wants to be sure OF an
opportunity to reach its summit, he must
prepare to stay considerably longer, since
low-hanging clouds often wrap the peaks
in thick fog for days at time. During
such periods it is dangerous to attempt
the ascent.
From distance Katahdin appears an
isolated peak, rising from an almost level
PLAIN, but nearer view reveals it as merely
the highest of number of mountain
masses, and that it is itself cut into four
peaks. The timber line is well below the
summit, which supports only iichens and
a few dwarfed plants, the vegetation being
purely of the Alpine type.
The mountain consists of granite, of
which great bare spaces, caused by rock
slides, stand out conspicuousiy. From the
north the ascent is gradual and compare
lively easy, but from the south the noun
tain rises with abrupt and, in places, pre-
cipitous slopes, from the lowlands of the
west branch of the Penobscot, the view of
which from the summit is one of rare
beauty. The mountain is snow-covered
from September till June, while in the
the remaining months freezing weather is
not uncommon. The long dispute as to
the height OF this peak has now been
settled
Early estimates ranged between 400
feet and 5,40o, but several years ago DR..
Fernald, former president OF the Maine
State college, gave 5,266 feet as the height
of the west peak as the results Of SURVEYS.
which have now proved surprisingly
accurate. The governments party, under
the charge of Professor II. 8. Boardmap.
fixes the elevation at just two feet more
than that. The east peak was found to
be but eighteen feet lower. Perhaps some
day the tide of summer travel will make
Katahdin more than name to be learned
IN biographies and standing in ones
sssollectioas for nothing else.

The Oldest Tree in the World.

On little island in the Indian ocean,
Ceylon, stands the oldest tree in the world
Its age is about 2 ZOO years and is undoubt-
eddy authentic. 1t was brought to Ceylon
about 800 B. C. and was branch of a tree
under which the Buddahood Gautama sat
when he attained Buddahood. Greatly
revered by pilgrims, it has temple
erected in its honor.
Through centuries it has been respected
and spared by all. During its lifetime
most of the worlds history has been made
1t was already old when the worlds
Redeemer walked beneath the bending
palms of Palestine, and standing where it
stands to-day.

The Mayors inaugural.


Mayor Greely's inaugural address is
printed in full in another column. He
calls the attention of the new board to
the serious problems they have to
solve, and expresses the hope that
they will use rare good judgment in
dealing with them.
The matter Of finances he regards as
the most important. The mayors
recommendation that the appropria-
tions be made as liberal as possible,
4 but without extravaganza, was
promptly acted upon by increasing
them from 49,, 24s last year to al. o51.
The schools, the public library and
the fire department were given special
attention, and his honor's suggestion
regarding them are worthy of consid-
Grafton.

must travel by way of Mason's Mills, East

At this corner travellers taking the right

around Woods pond on road so narrow

cannot pass each other. The musical selec-
