MARKED COPY" on newspaper wrapper Is sure to make the receiver open and read.
 Last year a southern man bought fifty copies of his local paper contain. Ing suggestion for factory location, marked them and mailed them to fifty individuals or concerns that might be interested.
 Result: Twelve immediate inquiries. three propositions for the factory site, one thriving factory located which to- day pays wages to 175 persons living In that town.

 London shopkeepers' slang is dis feet in itself and one that is alwayO changing. What, then, is "nicknack> itorian?" We know not the word to- day; but, looking recently through some old law cases dating about . hundred years back, was puzzled to find it applied in all good faith to describe plaintiff in the sheritf's court. On further search it turned out to be a piece of forgotten cockney slang for a dealer fin bric-a-brac. The evidence showed that this plain tiff kept sort of old curiosity shop, :n which he dispensed "mummies," poisoned arrows, the head of King Ar. thurs spear and genuine manuscript of the first play acted by Thespis and his company in a wagon" The de- fendant, woman, had actually bought and paid for some of these rarities, but she died after having com. missioned the embalming of an orang outang to add to her collection, and for this her executors refused to pay. Counsel for the defense poured con. tempt on the mummy of the orans outang and called it a stuffed mon. key"
 But the "nicknackitorian'' won hia case. His profession was more taking than his name.-Manchester Guardian

MOHAMMEDANS OF INDIA.
Superstition Seems to Govern Most of
 Their Actions.

Their Actions.
 Mohammedans of India are very superstitious. No Mohammedan will take a bath on Sunday or Tuesday. But if one bathes on Wednesday all misfortunes and misery that are in store for him till the next Wednesday will be averted. As rule. all Moham- to perform the jumma prayers. For donning new clothes Saturday. Sunday and Tuesday are regarded as bad days. If any one dons new dress or puts on new cloth or allows his tailor to cut piece of cloth on these days, he will live miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away. If shirt is torn and if the weareT wants to stitch it. it must be taken of. for if 1t is stitched while on the body the person will soon die. A Moham- medan will never allow a barber to come near him on Tuesdays, for Tues days and Saturdays and Sundays are bad days for shaving. If absolutely necessary he will get himself shaved on Saturday or Sunday, but never on Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall ln blood if he does so. If one receives money or some valuable thing, it is taken with the right hand, for if it is taken with the left the person re- ceiving 1t is said to forget all about 1t very soon or to mislay it. A de- vout Mohammedan will not start on a journey on Wednesday,. for it is be- lieved he will never return home safe ly if he does so. And it Is said that even a snake never ventures out oi it's hole on this day.

BOYS CONFERENCE.
Plans Being Perfected for Entertain
ment of Fifth Annual Convention.

Plans are being perfected for the en-
tertainmenl Of the 18th annual confer
ence of the boys representing the
Young Mems Christian Association and
Church Clubs of Maine, which is to
be held in this city Feb. Is. 10 and 90
More than 500 boys and about 50
adults were present at the Boys Con-
ference last year, which was held at
Lewiston and Auburn. Since that time
the basis of representation has been
cut down. but with the increased num-
Der of associations and clubs and the
added interest shown it is expected
that at least GOO boys will be present
at the convention in this city as dele
gates with about 100 adults. This will
make the convention one of unusually
large proportions and the question of
caring for the delegates is one which
will give the local committees a great
deal of work. although there is no
doubt but what they will be equal to
the occasion
The feature of the opening after
noon of the conference will be the re-
ception to the delegates rendered by
Cony High school at City hall. This re-
ception will be followed by a banquet
at which it is expected that Governor
Fernald will be one of the speakers.
DR.. George J. Fisher of New York, in
ternational secretary of the physical
work department of the Young Mems
Christian Association work will be one
of the speakers both Friday evening
and Saturday morning and another
prominent Y. NJ. c. A. speaker who will
appear on the program for Saturday
and Sunday is H. w. Gibson of Bos-
ton, state Boys secretary for Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island. The prin-
cipal address Sunday evening will be
by Rev. George w. Hinckley of Good
Will Farm. All of these speakers will
discuss topics of peculiar interest to
boys and young men.
The Boys Work committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association of
Maine, under whose auspices this con-
ference is being held, are as follows:
VIM. X. Sanderson, Portland; II. T..
Watson, Hinckley: Hon. Carl z. Mil
liken, Island Falls; Herbert l.. Emery,
Waterville: Horace c. Day. Auburn,
and Jefferson c. Smith, Waterville.
A meeting of the local committees
in charge of the entertainment of the
Boys Conference was held Friday
evening at the Office of Superintendent
of Schools D. w. LaRue. Plans for
caring for the delegates were perfect
ed and reports of work accomplished
thus far presented by the various COM
mttees. The committees We're ma
terially assisted by the presence at the
meeting of Rev. Herbert B. Hutchins
of Lewiston, who was one of the COM
mi.tee that had charge of the enter
tainment of the conference in that city
last year. Mr.. Hutchins explained what
was done in Lewiston and Auburn and
pointed out the things that it would
be needful for the committees to look
after in this city.

his hearers
