A real snake in a bottle of whiskey
was among the unique and interesting
exhibits in the Lewiston municipal
court Monday morning. 1t was during
the trial of Polander, charged with
search and seizure that the exhibit
was made. 1t has long been an
established fact that Whiskey con-
tanned invisible snakes, but for the
first time in the history of the Lewis
ton municipal court was bottle OF
whiskey which contained very size
able reptile exhibited. In explaining
the presence of the snake, which was
two feet or more in length, in the
bottle of whiskey, the Polander said
that he caught the snake in a cemetery
and placed it, Uhe snake. not the
cemetery in said bottle of whiskey.
He said it was not an unusual thing
for the people in his country to put
snakes in their whiskey, not only to
improve the flavor of the liquor but to
add to it's medicinal value. 1t was not
shown that the liquor was kept for
illegal sale and the respondent was
discharged.

The swordfish season is nearly at
hand and larger number of schoon-

Owing to the conditions existing in
the mixed fish market in Portland at

The study OF illumination has not only
become an exact science in these days of
perfection in artificial lighting, but every
householder is eagerly reading anything
this most difficult study.
Many poorly lighted room can be
easily remedied by changing the light
fixtures or repapering. 1t was formerly
the custom TO blame the oil, or the gas, or
the electricity il there were dark shadows
in the room or il the light failed to dispeI
the evening darkness. Now it has been
proven that these same rooms, be it at the
home or the Office or store. can be made
almost as light as dsy with even less can
die power thsn before. all with a little
study and planning.
A wall paper which will ..absorb' light
Is the greatest enemy to artificial light in
the home. An illuminant is poweriess to
light room il the color of the walls ab-
soro most OF the rays. The illuminating
engineers OF the General Electric Com
pany claim that white wall will reflect
80 per cent. of light, whereas a red wall
paper will reflect only Is per cent. A light
buff or yellow will reflect IS per cent; a
dark brown about i2A per cent. A light
apple green wall paper will reflect 40 per
cent; q dark green will give US Is per
cent. Dark wood trimmings absorb light :;
white wood reflects it. Velvets. chintzes.
burlaps will also absorb light, so will wall
paper. whatever its color, but a tinted sur
face wall reflects the Light. Wallpaper in
patterns is not only one of the greatest Of
all known absorbers of light, but it also
has aibad effect on nerves aud eyes.
The palmer the wall paper the better for
nerves and body, and the smoother the
surface the more light i. will reflect. In
selecting wall paper the way the room
faces muss also be taken into considera-
tion. Those rooms facing north and east
require lighter colored papers than do
rooms faci ny south and west.
Care in the selection OF tints and wall
paper will not only lead to better and a
cheaper artificial light but will protect
the eyesight, save the nerves and tempers.
1t will enable all to realize to the greatest
degree the many advantages of artificial
light from the electric current W here many
are now using some inferior i.Iuminant
because Of an incorrect impression that
electric light 10 too expensive.
