The rubber plant is moist all time,

And yet you're sure that she's away,
Because you see those dirty dishes.
Yes, she's away, I've fed the cat,
I've even busted all the chairs;
And though she is not here, you'll find
No burncd-out matches on the staiis.

That was but one of many wishes;
And vet there's proof that she's away,
Behold that stack of dirty dishes!

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT
Let Us Also Honor HamIin.
portland Argus.)

Apropos of this Lincoln centennial
year and the national celebration of it.
the kennebec Journal notes that it is
also the centennial of the birth of
Hannibal Hamln, who was Vice Presi-
dent with Lincoln. The Hamlin BIRTH
day anniversary will fall on the 9th
of next August, but the Journal sug-
gests that his name and his services
should not be forgotten at the time of
the Lincoln centennial exercises on the
18th of this month. The suggestion is
pertinent, and the centennial OF this
son of Maine whose name is forever
associated with that of Abraham Lin
coin, is not likely to be overlooked in
the State of Maine

The SnarI of a Copperhead.
(Biddeford Journal.)

IL w. s." in the Portland Argus
writing of Abraham Lincoln, says that
1.-The Republican party, for party pur-
poses, made a god of the well meaning
Lincoln, and he has been god ever
since And he continues: ITO glori-
fly Lincoln is to aggrandize the G. o.
p. To aggrandize the G. o. P. is to
increase the opportunities for theft
To steal is the aim Of all politicians
Ergo, to glorify Honest OlG Abe is to
increase the opportunities and the
amounts of thefts." 81. w. S." can be
delightful writer when he avoids pol
tiles and religion. When he touches
either of these topics his prejudices al
ways get the better of his judgment.

The Place Of Prayer.

Not in the vast cathedral only,
With priests and robe and stole
arrayed-
With incense and with lighted candles
My prayer be made.
Nor only is the simple chapel,
Though sanctified by pure devotion
The place of prayer.
Wherever two or three are gathered,
In His name, at any time of day,
There He has promised to be present,
And they shall pray.
Upon thy bed, or in the market
Or on the crowded thoroughlare,
If thou hast any need or sorrow,
Make thou thy prayer.
There are not any limits or conditions;
The access to His grace is broad;
Go, then, thy helplessness confessing
In prayer to God.

PURE AIR MADE TO ORDER,
INVENTION OF GERMAN

A man of science in Berlin has taken
to running ordinary air through ma
chine to make better stuff to breathe
of it. Not satisfied that the atmos-
phere which nature furnishes for the
purpose Is all that it should be, he has
undertaken to make of it a more ac-
ceptable and useful and valuable hui
man asset The only queer thing about
the matter, too, is that he is accom-
plishing 1t.
Everybody knows that oxygen in our
air is a good thing. says the sTechni-
cal World Magazine 1t is possible TO
get too much of it, like other good
things, but there is comparatively little
suffering caused among members or the
human race, just at this stage OF the
worlds life, by a superabundance of
this particular desirable. In fact, some
times it seems as If many of us were
trying to see how little of 1t we can
assimilate without actual asphyxia-
ton, instead of enjoying full measure
as one of the luxuries of existence.
But 1t isn't always our own fault, IL
seems, and that's why the Berliner,
DR.. Fischer by name, member of the
faculty of the famous Berlin university
has produced his invention.
1t Is no news to the world that the
oxygen in our air is capable of being
changed into thing called. ozone, a
mighty enemy of bacteria and other
things inimical to human lungs and
human blood, destroyer of bad smells
and powerful purifier in general. Sum-
light itself, by constantly producing the
stuff in dilute form, disinfects daily
and hourly, to a degree, the air wa
breathe. The trouble is that we have
too little sun, because of our smoke and
our dust and our roofs. under which
we stay too large portion of the time
when the ozone producer is working.
