Bald Heads Not Wanted
Badness is too Generally COnsid-

A bald. headed person does not have an

Ing house Is to the present. The
doors leading from the taproom to
the narrow side hall are double, a
fact suggestive Of the large puncheons
that often found entrance there.
Through this entrance the troops
were marched in double file when they
came from the muster field nearby to
flood the dust from their threats with
Capt. Prescott's "West India and mo-
lasses."
Many visitors are attracted here in
the summer
The summer following the building
of the house, in 1901. it received a
christening that immortalized It.
Francis Asbury, the pioneer bishop,
sat in the upper hall at the head of a
handful of Methodist circuit riders.
and conducted the proceedings of the
second New England conference held
in Maine. A congregation supposed to
represent one-sixth of all the Metho-
dists in New England gathered out
side the doors to listen to a discourse
from his venerable lips.
After Monmouth Academy became
an educational institution of some i'm.
portance, Prescott's Tavern became
the boarding place of many men who
have since won laurels in the political
arena. Tenantless and dreary. the
"old fort" as it is often called, stands
like a ghost of historic days.

London.-"I thoroughly indorse

of health, and consider them to con-

Strathcona, the high commissioner OF
Canada, recently. Let me see." he
said. "Mr. Harrison Is eighty-one
years old. Oh, he is quite young
man. / am eleven years his sepior
and still young. Why, my memory
is as good today as it was fifty years
ago."
Speaking of Mr.. Harrison's golden
rules, "They are excellent said Lord
Strathcona. Personally l haven't
smoked within the past twenty years,
and do not believe in smoking. l GER
tainly think that people eat too much,
and that 1t may be injurious for them
to do so. For many years I have only
had two meals day-breakfast and
dinner.
"As for sleep, make a point Of not
sleeping longer than six hours a day
as against Mr.. Harrison's eight hours.
I find that six hours are enough for
me-"

Monmouth, Me.-Near the level
plain that stretches northward from
Monmouth Academy in this city, over
looking a long reach of undulating
woodland. with the hazy outline Of
the White Mountains in the distance
stands the oldest relic of coaching
days. the Prescott Tavern. Square
as a blockheuse, hip rooted. and once
crowned with a great chimney, 1t
harks back to 1901, when it was built
by Capt. Sewall Prescott. Though
somewhat decayed and battered, 1t Is
an interesting landmark The front
door has been ajar decade, and
sightseers come and go at will. The
building is owned by the Prescott
estate.
One of the curiosities of the place
is the old taproom. This room was
to the day of 1900 what the little place

TO TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL
Lons-Deiayed France-Enollsh Project
10 Once More Being Put
Forward.

A tunnel between England and
France beneath the English channel
was first proposed at the beginning
of the nineteenth century by Matthew,
French mining engineer. says the
Argonaut. Fifty years later the
scheme was financed. but 1t was not
until 1867 that It seemed that the
project would be actually attempted.
At that time there were a dozen or
more plans for rail communication
between the two countries The &C
cepted scheme was that of tunnel
bored beneath the bed Of the channel.
The estimated cost of the undertake
ing was about $50,000.000 Prelimi-
nary boring had been made, when the
work was interrupted by the Franco
Prussian war, In 1874 the French
and English governments resumed ne
gotiations concerning the tunnel,
leaving the matter In the hands OF a
joint commission. Failure on the
part of the English company holding
the contract for the work to receive
sufficient funds resulted In the fail
ure Of the enterprise In 1880. Now
the project Is receiving some atten-
ton, better feeling having been es-
tablished between the people of the
two countries.
