NEW FRENCH BOOKS.
The Letters of Woman OF the
Directoire.

Paris, August 20
Fortunke Hameln was mentally ana
nhvsically one of the most attractive
women OF her time. Like her frlend' 'o-
senhine de Beauharnais, and like Nine
de Maintenon. she was Creole. BOTH
in 1776 at ST. Domingo, she went 10
Paris when twelve years old and mar
ried q wealthy army contractor named
Hamelin, by whom she had daughter
who became Marquise de Naramoon'
and son, who married niece or the
Comtesse de Villele. Imbued with WIG
reckless. revolutionary independence, she
obtained a divorce from her humdrum,
commonplace husband and plunged into
the excuses Of Thermidorian reaction.
Amid the brilliant cortege Of ''Incroy-
ables," "Merveileuses' and "Musca-
dimes" she triumphed a the suppers Of
Barras and at the receptions Of Talley-
rand. in company with Josephine de
Beauharnais, Juliette Recamier. Theresa
Tallien and Vestris. She had a liaison
with Bonaparte, who ever remained her
'Idol"; was a close friend Of Chateau
BRAND and a comrade Of the handsome,
witty Comte de Montrond, called the
'Lauzun Of the Revolution" who was
Talleyrand's most trusted friend and tie
author of many of the famous bon-mots
popularity attributed TO the great diplo-
mat. Bonaparte was now and then jeal-
Gus of Montrond, and spoke Of him as
the foremost scamp polisson) Of
France"
Like Ninon de Lenclos, Nine Hamelin
always retained the esteem and friend
ship of her lovers. Napoleon was very
fond of her. Chateaubriand wrote to her
that he never could repay her for hav-
ing saved him from Imprisonment and
exile, and Talleyrand, the Due Decazes,
Berger and Joseph Bonaparte were de-
voted to her. She had sound literary
talents, and predicted that Balzac
! would one day be recognized as the
greatest French novelist Of his time"
Nine. Hamelin was 70 the end of her
days an out-and-out Bonapartist. When
Napoleon arrived at Fontainebleau, in
March, 1915, the first letters that he
opened were those from Nine Hamelin
and the old Comte de Segur. At the

with two representatives as formerly
out Will combine the rest of the coun-
" In such a way as to have but five
representatives outside of Rockland.
The proposed classification made
by the other representatives is mani
feStly unfair to Rockland.' SAYS Mr..
Otis in discussing the matter. "The
present population of Knox county is
1881 and @po. d basis of six repre-
sentatives for the county that would
make the unit for the county 1880.
Rockland is the only municipality in
the county that hasn't fallen off in
population. and if it was only allowed
one representative it would have a
surplus of 3344, while each of the
other classes would lack by consider
able the requisite number according
to the unit.
Under this classification the Cam
oil u
lation of 1853 will lack 1877 of the unit.
Thomaston, Vinalhaven. North Haven
and Hurricane with a population of
1868 lacks 267. while the Warren,
Washington, Union class with popu-
lation of 1859 lacks 971. The Rock

llabitants, lacks 607 ofs enough and
the remaining class composed OF
, Thomaston, Gushing, Friendship. Ma
tnicus, Criehaven and the Muscle
Ridges, is short 1022.'
1T is true that Rockland with it's
population of STA lacks 1886 of enough
to have Il second representative. but
, that would be but 74S on a Representa-
| tive, while two classes under the other
arrangement lack more than that"
The classification proposed by Mr.
! Otis for the other towns in the coun-
! ty under his plan which gives two rep
resentativcs to Rockland is as fol,
: lows:
Glass South Thomaston. st.
George, Mutinicus, Muscle Ridges.

| He points uut that under the pres

| South ThomuSton class WILL except

send II Republican representative te
the Legislature and that the Cam

| Republican and Is now represented

| While Democratic RUchport is classed

Professor Deans first advice to dairy
men is-"CIean the pals. cans and sep
arators thoroughly, at least once or twice
a day."
Soap and water remove surface dirt
but they do not thoroughly remove all
the little germs which sour and taint
the milk. The greatest of all cleansers
is Gold Dust washing powder. 1t not
only removes all the visible dirt and
grease, but goes deep after every trace
of impurity, and leaves the milk pals,
cans and bottles really clean, wholesome
and safe. Moreover, it does the work
more quickly and easily than any other
