A gargle made with twelve drops of sloan,s
Liniment in half glass of water will break IN
a sore throat.
Sioan's Liniment is an excellent remedy for

family for about year, and find it an excellent
relief for colds and hay fever attacks. Two

difference in cost is due only to fneness

SPRING MILLINERY.
The fortunate possessor of a large
white chip hat, has only to cover the
crown and part of the brim with white
lilacs and wistria, or else with pink
roses and white lilacs around the crown,
and will have apparently, fresh impor-
tation from Paris. AS may be judged,
large hats are again shown and also
small ones, many of which are on the
turn down order and in colors. Flowers
are used in profusion, and roses are again
the leader. Large ones are placed in a
row around crown, with an ostrich
feather or aigrette at one side, or roses
may be clustered according to taste.
Especial use is made of foliage this sea-
son.
LARGE TURBANS
These are the sole novelty in millinery
and the majority are of imitation Jet
throughout, which is anything but at
tractive. They look heavy and coarse,
whereas turban of black net with fine
quality jet ornaments is very smart.
Small bowl-shapes are also of jet, and a
small white ostrich feather at one side
mitigates the tawdry look of an all-jet
hat. Turbans will be made of flowers,
tulle, or fish-net, and toques also, and
judiciously trimmed they will prove at
tractive. Ready-to-wear hats are of all
sizes and shapes, some with broad brims
and almost fiat crowns, others with high,
bulky crowns and narrow brims. Ribbon,
silk drapings and long quilts curling
around the crowns are the preferred
trimmings. VERONA CLARKE.

The Rockport Water Question.

RocKPoRT, Me. February 2. The sale
of the Camden and Rockland water com
pany's taxable property in this town,
scheduled for to-day, did not materialize,
temporary injunction having been
served on tax collector C. Fred Knight
to restrain the town from doing so.
Until last spring the corporation had
been exempted from taxation here, but
the municipal officers decided to discon-
tinue that course and the property was
assessed on valuation of about $3.50, 900
the tax amounting to about $780, The
company and town were unable to agree
upon a renewal of the water contract
and the hydrant supply was shut off,
leaving the town practically without
fire protection.
Meantime there had been one fire and
the company claims that the town hav-
ing used the hydrants could not legally
assess the corporation for taxes. The
town on the other hand claims that it
rendered a payment fully covering the
service of which it availed itself.

The Mission Mail Bag.
uNREcocN1zED HERo1sM.

The recent disaster to the steamship
Republic, when the magnificent display
of courage in the face Of deadly peril
won the admiration of the world, recalls
less conspicuous instances Of true hero
ism. Among others may be mentioned
the deeds of the late DR.. w. S. Ament, a
distinguished missionary of the American
Board in China. At the time OF the Box
er uprising he was the last one to leave
the mission compound when the attack
came. He was among the number shut
up in the British Legation and rendered
important service in the defence plans.
After the siege was raised, and Peking
was occupied by the allied forces, DR..
Ament gave himself wholly to the reor-
ganization of the scattered Christians.
He went from village to village and from
city to city, beset on every side by per-
sonal peril, not sparing himself. In one
instance he was found in a state of col
lapse due to extreme exhaustion. He
was tireless until he had rallied the Chris
tians and secured from the government
their recognition with payment for the
property losses they had sustained. This
modest missionary received from many
of the cities elaborate silk umbrellas and
banners covered with the names of those
who thus publicly and officially expressed
their appreciation of the marvellous SER
vices he had rendered them 1t was for
such services as these, gratefully ac-
knowledged by official and non-official
Chinese alike, as well as by foreigners
in Picking, that Dr. Ament was assailed
in the American press by Mark Twain,
whose cruel attack was based upon a
cable despatch that was later shown to
be an error. The charges were never
withdrawn, even though it was demon
strated that they had no basis in fact.
This kind of moral heroism in the per-
Torrance of difficult and sometimes
thankless tasks is often found among
missionary workers, both in the home
and foreign field '-s''.s o..

This can be and no doubt will be

splendid fruit fell off in this coun-
