TO ADD MAINE TO CANADA.
Prince Edward Island Paper Suggests
Takinq It From Union.

The political union of the state Of
Maine with Canada is advocated by
the Charlottetown Daily Guardian of
Prince Edward Island. The Guardian
says:
"It is high time that the statesmen
of Canada gave serious consideration
to the possibility. to use no stronger
term, Of admitting the adjoining state
of Maine into the Dominion.
"a glance at the map is sufficient to
show that the state of Maine belongs
geographically to Canada rather than
to the United States. Being now a
foreign country. it is to some extent
also an obstacle to the right develop
ment Of our great transportation sys-
TENS, while at the same time the state
is shut out from the great and obvious
advantages which much result from
the union with Canada. already far
too long delayed.
1--WE have, of course. no desire to Sc
duce our Maine cousins from their
present allegiance to Uncle Sam ond
the stars and stripes. Any movement
in the direction Of union with Canada
must come from them and with Uncle
Sans consent"

LONDON FOG PEELS oBELIsK.
HieroaIyphics of 5000 Years Ago Show
Rapid Decay.

Cleopatras Needle. the Egyptian
obelisk on the Thames embankment,
has been exposed to London atmos-
phere tpr thirty-two years and is slow
ly surrounding to its effects. The acid
in the smoky air and the damp fogs
are gradually destroying the sharpness
of the hieroglyphics upon which the
people of EIeliopolis gazed more than
5000 years ago.
Accordingly the suggestion is made
that the needle may have to be re-
moved TO more salubrious atmos-
phere, maybe to the British museum,
where there are already two Egyptian
obelisks safely protected from tho
weather The monument is periodical
~ cleaned, and since the last survey
the process of decay has been much
more rapid than before.
There is an old story of an Egyptian
curse which was heard when the nee
die was removed from Egyptian soil.
Certainly the ship that carried it was
abandoned in a gale and several lives
were lost. The obelisk was rescued
and towed to London with immense
trouble and labor, and since then 1t
has borne a blameless reputation.

Louis D. Brandeis, who recently told
the railroads Of the country that he
could show them how to save $1,000
900 day, has been laborer for the
public veal for sixteen years without
pay. Mr.. Brandeis' hobby is humani-
ty. Whenever he can lend his aid to
the solution OF sociological or eco
nomic problem affecting the common
people he does gratis. His warfare
for the poor started in 1894, when he
instituted proceedings against malad-
ministration of certain public charities
in Boston. He won after long fight.
Next he secured the passage Of law
in Massachusetts which in its final re-
suit has reduced the cost of life in
surance to workingmen by fully 20
per cent throughout the, entire coun-
try. There was no fee for this work.
Personally Mr. Brandeis is a medium
sized, wiry man, with piercing gray
eyes and hair streaked with gray. He
was born in old Kentucky, but most
of his life has been spent in Boston.
He is partner in an old established
and prosperous law firm of that city.
He was married twenty years ago, and
he and Mrs. Brandeis live on the same
modest scale as when they began
housekeeping.
