Just across the sheepscot Bay from
oaar tho old Block Houaa afauda a

Just across the 6heepscot Bay from
near the old Block House, stands q
structure OF the most quaint architec-
ture, having q frame of solid oak.
This house was moved In 1888 from
the island Of Westport, then known as
Jeremy Square and according to
tradition was prepared to be, for a
time at least, the home of a French
Queen. During the French revolution
this house was owned by Captain Ste
.,hen Clough, who sailed from this
country to foreign ports. and as early
as 1893 was in Paris, his vessel load
ed with lumber cut In the vicinity of
Wiscasset. Tradition has 1t that the
escape of Queen Marie Antoniette,
wife of Louis XVI. to this country
was to be made by the use of this
same vessel. A note hidden in a
bouquet of flowers was sent to the
Queen, who was then In prison, in
forming her of means of escape to
this country, but II was discovered by
one of the guards in time to Illustrate
all plans, and soon after the unlucky
Queen was beheaded. Captain Clough
on hearing that the Queens secret
was discovered, Immediately put to
sea, taking with him many articles OH
board the vessel belonging to the
Queen. These articles of clothing
etc., were brought to Edgcomb, some
of which are now In existence, and in
Clough, who now live in the Marie
possession of descendants of Captain
Antoinette House" where they may be
seen by visitors.

Oilina the Body.

The custom Of amounting the body
with oil is almost universal among the
natives of Africa. The idea is not a
pleasant one, but the darkies know
what they are about and use the lubri-
cant to prevent chapping Of the skin.
The hot winds In the region of the
Nile have a most irritating effect on
the body, and the most sensitive skips
crack until the blood flows.

An aching back is instantly

This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than

gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
1t Is also the cheapest. When such
men As Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
Ii. D.-F.R.S. of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, It is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats The powers of endur-
ance Of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
