DEAR READER: =

We are again on the thresh-
old of National Prosperity, and
business conditions improving
daily. The crop prospects are
more promising than they
have been for years, factory
wheels are running, and labor
ia again finding employment.
The recent rapid rise in the
stock market is encouraging,
and indicates feeling of con-
fdence among financis re-,
many CT whom consider the
present high prices of stocks
fully warranted by prevailing
conditions. Even the most
conservative business men an
ticipate an exceptionally good
fall busine s..
In the Jewelry field the
prospects are especially good.
A still surer indication to us
of coming prosperity is the
influx of business which we
have been having the past
two weeks, most of which are
good substantial sales.
Our line is more attractive
this season than ever before,
and with our improved facili-
ties We are amply prepared to
meet this demand. In getting
out our new fall line we ex.
pended more energy and mon
ey for the purchase and selec-
ton of the most desirable and
salabIe goods than conditions
at the time warranted, hut it
gives a tone and character to
our line which you cannot
help but appreciate and ad-
mire.
Our line of odd Jewelry,
Necklaces, Brooches, Cuff
Buttons. Hat Pins, Bracelets,
etc, lie especially attracti Q.
Another line that deserves es-
pecial mention is silverware,
both in solid and plate.
Thanksgiving is not far dis
tant, and II will pay you to
find IL convenient to call ana
see our neg stocy in the near
future.
Very Truly Yours

Deaf Telegraph Operator.

Peter A. Foley, the ''lightning taker''
of Portland, is the most wonderful tele-
graph operator in the world. Foley is
totally deaf, an aifliction which ordi-
narily would be supposed to make tele-
graph an utter impossibility to him,
but since he became deaf eight years
ago Foley has developed what may be
called sixth sense, and by touch and
sight he can detect the finest move
ments of the instrument and correctly
interpret them. His nervous system is
part and parcel of telegraphy and by
means of the sense to touch in his
finger tips he takes messages transmit
ed from the ends of the continent. He
can read message by watching the
sounder. With his left forefinger placed
lightly on the sounder, he can by his
wonderful sense of touch take mess
age as accurately as any man in the
office.-Kennebec Journal.

Here is Il collection of proverbs pur-
porting to speak oracularly concerning
brides and the months;
A January bride will be a prudent
housekeeper and very good tempered.
A February bride will be kind and
objectionable wife and tender mother,
A March bride will be a frivolous
chatterbox, somewhat given to quar-
reling.
An April bride will be inconstant,
not very Intelligent, but fairly good
looking.
A May bride will be handsome, ami
able, and likely to be happy.
A June bride will be impetuous and
generous.
A July bride will be handsome and
smart, but trifie quick-tempered.
An August bride will be amiable and
practical.
A September bride will be discreet.
An October bride will be pretty, CO.
quttish, loving, but jealous.
A November bride will be liberal.
A December bride will be fond OF
novelty and entertaining.-London

Government Maps for Automobile
Tourists,

Automobile tourists are beginning to
find the Topographic maps of the Geo
logical Survey invaluable in laying out
routes of pleasure travel. All public
roads, as well as all important private
roads, are shown on these maps while
the contour lines indicating the tOpo-
graphy and showing the grades of the
roads enable the automObilist to deter
mine accurately the character of the
country through which he intends to
travel
These maps are made primarily as
bases for the geologic map of the Unit
ed States which the Geological Survey
is constructing, and the fact that they
can be employed better than any other
maps for nOnscientiiic purposes, such
as autOmObiling, attests their practical
value, though this is only one of very
great number of uses to which they are
p 1t. No maps, in fact, are so genera
II used as the Surveys Topographic
maps. Commercial maps are based on
them, and score of bureaus and de-
partments OF the Government use them
as bases for special maps or plOttings,
for determining routes OF march or
travel, for planning engineering works
and for many other like public pur-
poses,
The topographic map or atlas which
will be formed by the combined topo-
graphic sheets published by the Survey
was referred to last winter by Secretary
Garfield, in a report to Congress, as the
"mother map of the country" for it is
now the principal source of all other
maps. The sheets cover areas termed
quadrangles, whose limits are defined
by meridians and parallels, and nearly
1880 of them have already been COM
pleted. Some of the States have valued
these maps so highly that they have
betrayed half the cost of the surveys.
The expense of surveying a quadrangle
and engraving sheet ranges from
So, 800 to $4,000; but after the map has
served its scientific purpose to the Gov
ernment extra copies can be purchased
by anyone for cents each, or So hun
dred, which is simply the cost of paper
and printing.
The maps are so detailed and accu-
rate that clever clay modelers have
used them as bases for relief or physical
maps which were exact miniature re-
productions of the regions comprised
within the quadrangles, showing every
hill and valley in relative steepness,
and the lakes, swamps, falls of rivers,
ETC., as well as all the important works

"Disobedience to a writ of injunction
is punished by means of what is called
